Simeon within Judah§1

1 Simeon’s lot lies within Judah — a share inside praise. Chastened zeal dwells in confession.

Latin · §1

Sors Simeon in medio Iudae — pars in laude. Zelus (Simeon) castigatus habitat in confessione.

Zebulun Issachar Asher Naphtali Dan§2

2The remaining lots run seaward and north. Dan goes up to Leshem — walking to seek more room. A variety of gifts.

Latin · §2

Ceterae sortes maritimae et aquilonales. Dan ascendit in Lesem — ambulo quaerens ampliora. Varietas charismatum.

Jesus’ own city Timnath-serah§3

3 They gave Jesus the city Timnath-serah in Ephraim’s hill country — the leader’s portion. Christ holds his lot in us. Amen.

Latin · §3

Dederunt Iesu civitatem Thamnathsare in monte Ephraim — portio ducis. Christus in nobis sortem suam habet. Amen.
