Shirach — 46
Yahusha Ba'Nun and Calab
1 Yahusha the son of Nun was mighty in war, and was the successor of Musha in prophesying, he became, in accordance with his name, a great savior of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH’s elect, to take vengeance on the enemies that rose against them, so that he might give Yashar'AL its inheritance.
2 How esteemed he was when he lifted his hands and stretched out his sword against the cities!
3 Who before him ever stood so firm? For he waged the wars of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
4 Was the sun not held back by his hand? And did one day not become as long as two?
5 He called upon the Most High, the AL'Mighty One, when enemies pressed him on every side,
6 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH answered him with hailstones of mighty power, he hurled down war upon that nation, and at the descent of Bath-hurun he destroyed those who resisted, so that the nations might know his armament, that he was fighting in the sight of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH; for he wholly followed the AL'Mighty One.
7 And in the days of Musha he did a loyal deed, Yahusha Ba'Nun and Calab the son of Yaphunnah: they withstood the congregation, restrained the people from sin, and stilled their wicked murmuring.
8 And these two alone were preserved out of six hundred thousand people on foot, to bring them into their inheritance, into a land flowing with milk and honey.
9 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH gave Calab strength, which remained with him to old age, so that he went up to the hill country, and his children obtained it for an inheritance;
10 so that all the sons of Yashar'AL might see that it is good to follow 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.
The Judges
11 The judges also, with their respective names, those whose hearts did not fall into idolatry and who did not turn away from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH may their memory be baraked!
12 May their bones revive from where they lie, and may the name of those who have been honored live again in their sons!
13 Shamual, beloved by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, a Nabym of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, established the kingdom and anointed rulers over 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's people.
14 By the law of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH he judged the congregation, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH watched over Ya'aqub.
15 By his faithfulness he was proved to be a Nabym, and by his words he became known as a trustworthy seer.
16 He called upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, the AL'Mighty One, when his enemies pressed him on every side, and he offered in sacrifice a sucking lamb.
17 Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH thundered from Shamaym, and made his voice heard with a mighty sound;
18 and he wiped out the leaders of the people of Tyra and all the rulers of the Philistines.
19 Before the time of his eternal sleep, Shamual called men to witness before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and His anointed: “I have not taken any one’s property, not so much as a pair of shoes.” And no man accused him.
20 Even after he had fallen asleep he prophesied and revealed to the king his death, and lifted up his voice out of the Arath in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.
