21 Mas al Jebuseo que habitaba en Jerusalem, no echaron los hijos de Benjamín, y así el Jebuseo habitó con los hijos de Benjamín en Jerusalem hasta hoy.

22 También los de la casa de José subieron á Beth-el; y fué Jehová con ellos.

23 Y los de la casa de José pusieron espías en Beth-el, la cual ciudad antes se llamaba Luz.

24 Y los que espiaban vieron un hombre que salía de la ciudad, y dijéronle: Muéstranos ahora la entrada de la ciudad, y haremos contigo misericordia.

25 Y él les mostró la entrada á la ciudad, é hiriéronla á filo de espada; mas dejaron á aquel hombre con toda su familia.
