Tent of meeting at Shiloh§1

1 All the congregation gathers at Shiloh — the tent of meeting there. Shiloh (“peace”) is the place of lots. The church in Christ’s peace receives spiritual lots.

Latin · §1

Congregata omni congregatione in Silo — ibi tabernaculum. Pax (Silo) locus sortium. Ecclesia in pace Christi sortes spiritales accipit.

Seven tribes still without portion§2

2 Seven tribes still without portion. Jesus: How long will you be slack? Send men to map the land. Sloth is rebuked.

Latin · §2

Septem tribus absque sorte. Iesus: Usquequo estis tepidi? Mittite viros ut describant terram. Desidia increpata.

Benjamin’s lot§3

3 Benjamin’s lot between Judah and Joseph — the beloved beside praise and fruitfulness. Amen.

Latin · §3

Sors Beniamin inter Iudam et Ioseph — amatus iuxta laudem et fecunditatem. Amen.
