6-8 That’s when God spoke in holy splendor,
    “Bursting with joy,
I make a present of Shechem,
    I hand out Succoth Valley as a gift.
Gilead’s in my pocket,
    to say nothing of Manasseh.
Ephraim’s my hard hat,
    Judah my hammer;
Moab’s a scrub bucket,
    I mop the floor with Moab,
Spit on Edom,
    rain fireworks all over Philistia.”

God has spoken from his sanctuary:
    “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem(A)
    and measure off the Valley of Sukkoth.(B)
Gilead(C) is mine, and Manasseh is mine;
    Ephraim(D) is my helmet,
    Judah(E) is my scepter.(F)
Moab is my washbasin,
    on Edom I toss my sandal;
    over Philistia I shout in triumph.(G)
