And the one that marches out with a hundred will only have ten left for the house of Israel.” ⁴ For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel, “Seek me so that you may live.” ⁵ But do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile and Bethel will come to disaster.”
