the people having been delivered up for the space of a long time

Therefore, Jacob seeing that their enemies were more numerous than they,

he being the king of the band,

therefore he commanded his people

that they should take their flight into the northernmost part of the land,

and they become sufficiently strong to contend with the tribes of the people;

and they did so.

And it came to pass in the thirty and first year

that they were divided into tribes,

every man according to his family, kindred and friends;

nevertheless they had come to an agreement

that they would not go to war one with another;

but they were not united as to their laws, and their manner of government,

for they were established according to the minds of those

who were their chiefs and their leaders.

But they did establish very strict laws

that one tribe should not trespass against another,

insomuch that in some degree they had peace in the land;

nevertheless, their hearts were turned from the Lord their God,

and they did stone the prophets and did cast them out from among them.

that all such as should come unto them should be baptized with water,
