Ephraim and Manasseh’s lot§1

1 Joseph’s sons receive their lot — Ephraim and Manasseh. Grace is fertile; yet the Canaanite remains as tributary.

Latin · §1

Filii Ioseph accipiunt sortem — Ephraim et Manasse. Fertilitas gratiae; tamen Chananaeus tributarius remanet.

Daughters of Zelophehad§2

2 Zelophehad’s daughters receive among the brothers. Even fragile souls bear inheritance fruit.

Latin · §2

Filiae Salphaad accipiunt inter fratres — hereditas feminarum in Israel. Animae fructus etiam in fragilibus.

One lot is not enough§3

3Joseph’s sons: One lot is not enough. Jesus: Go up to the forest and clear it. Labor must be added to grace. Amen.

Latin · §3

Filii Ioseph: Una sors non sufficit. Iesus: Ascende in silvam et succide. Labor adiciendus gratiae. Amen.
