Los desterrados de este ejército de los hijos de Israel poseerán la tierra de los cananeos hasta Sarepta; los desterrados de Jerusalén que están en Sefarad poseerán las ciudades del Neguev.
Les captifs de cette armée des enfants d'Israël Posséderont le pays occupé par les Cananéens jusqu'à Sarepta, Et les captifs de Jérusalem qui sont à Sepharad Posséderont les villes du midi.
E questo esercito de’ figliuoli d’Israele, che è stato menato in cattività, possederà quello ch’era de’ Cananei, fino in Sarepta; e que’ di Gerusalemme, che sono stati menati in cattività, che sono in Sefarad, possederanno le città del Mezzodì.
E os cativos deste exército, dos filhos de Israel, possuirão os cananeus, até Zarefate; e os cativos de Jerusalém, que estão em Sefarade, possuirão as cidades do sul.
