116 : Basic English : Judges 2,3; Gospel of Luke 17 1. Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, *** I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:
2. And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?
3. And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.
4. Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.
5. And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.

3. And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, guiding him through all the land of Canaan; I made his offspring great in number, and gave him Isaac.
4. And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau: to Esau I gave Mount Seir, as his heritage; but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
5. And I sent Moses and Aaron, troubling Egypt by all the signs I did among them: and after that I took you out.

2. And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do:
3. You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.
4. And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.
5. Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

113 : Basic English : Joshua 20,21; Gospel of Luke 14 1. And the Lord said to Joshua,
2. Say to the children of Israel, Let certain towns be marked out as safe places, as I said to you by the mouth of Moses,
3. So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.
4. And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe.
5. And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.
