Judges 1:23-26 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

23. The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (The name of the city before that was Luz.)

24. The watchers saw a man come out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”

25. He showed them the entrance into the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.

26. The man went into the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
