Land still to be possessed§1

1 Much land remains — Philistines and regions. Jesus is old; contests remain. In the church vice-nations still await storming.

Latin · §1

Terra quae remanet multa — Philisthiim et regiones. Senectus Iesu; adhuc certamina. In ecclesia remanent gentes vitiorum expugnandae.

Levi’s portion is the Lord§2

2 To Levi he gave no inheritance; the Lord is his inheritance. Priesthood seeks not estates but the Lord.

Latin · §2

Tribui Levi non dedit hereditatem; Dominus hereditas eius. Sacerdotium non fundos quaerit sed Dominum.

East-Jordan allotments recalled§3

3Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh’s lots are recalled. Those who already received must help their brothers. Amen.

Latin · §3

Recensentur sortes Ruben Gad Manasse. Qui iam acceperunt adiuvent fratres. Amen.
