22 In like manner they that were of the house of Joseph went up to Bethel, and the Lord was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph caused Bethel to be searched (which before time was called Luz.) 24 And the spies saw a man come out of the city, and they said unto him: show us, we pray thee, the way into the city, and we will show thee mercy. 25 And when he had showed them the way into the city: they smote it with the edge of the sword.
