²Yahweh said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”

²In GOSPOD veli: Juda naj gre! glej, dal sem deželo v roko njegovo.

³Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your lot.” So Simeon went with him.
