Joshua 1
1. Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Moses <04872> the
servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> it came <01961> to pass,
that the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <03091> the son
<01121> of Nun <05126>, Moses <04872>' minister <08334>, saying
<0559>,
2 Moses <04872> my servant <05650> is dead <04191>; now <06258>
therefore arise <06965>, go <05674> over <05674> this Jordan
<03383>, thou, and all <03605> this <02088> people <05971>, unto
the land <0776> which <0834> I do give <05414> to them, [even]
to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
3 Every <03605> place <04725> that the sole <03709> of your
foot <07272> shall tread <01869> upon, that have I given <05414>
unto you, as I said <01696> unto Moses <04872>.
4 From the wilderness <04057> and this <02088> Lebanon <03844>
even unto the great <01419> river <05104>, the river <05104>
Euphrates <06578>, all <03605> the land <0776> of the Hittites
<02850>, and unto the great <01419> sea <03220> toward the going
<03996> down <03996> of the sun <08121>, shall be your coast
<01366>.
5 There shall not any man <0376> be able <03320> to stand
<03320> before <06440> thee all <03605> the days <03117> of thy
life <02416>: as I was with Moses <04872>, [so] I will be with
thee: I will not fail <07503> thee, nor <03808> forsake <05800>
thee.
6 Be strong <02388> and of a good courage <0553>: for unto this
<02088> people <05971> shalt thou divide for an inheritance
<05157> the land <0776>, which <0834> I sware <07650> unto their
fathers <01> to give <05414> them.
7 Only <07535> be thou strong <02388> and very <03966>
courageous <0553>, that thou mayest observe <08104> to do
<06213> according to all <03605> the law <08451>, which <0834>
Moses <04872> my servant <05650> commanded <06680> thee: turn
<05493> not from it [to] the right <03225> hand <03225> or [to]
the left <08040>, that thou mayest prosper <07919> whithersoever
thou goest <03212>.
8 This <02088> book <05612> of the law <08451> shall not depart
<04185> out of thy mouth <06310>; but thou shalt meditate
<01897> therein day <03119> and night <03915>, that thou mayest
observe <08104> to do <06213> according to all <03605> that is
written <03789> therein: for then <0227> thou shalt make thy way
<01870> prosperous <06743>, and then <0227> thou shalt have good
success <07919>.
9 Have not I commanded <06680> thee? Be strong <02388> and of a
good courage <0553>; be not afraid <06206>, neither <0408> be
thou dismayed <02865>: for the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> [is]
with thee whithersoever thou goest <03212>.
10. Then Joshua <03091> commanded <06680> the officers <07860>
of the people <05971>, saying <0559>,
11 Pass <05674> through <07130> the host <04264>, and command
<06680> the people <05971>, saying <0559>, Prepare <03559> you
victuals <06720>; for within <05750> three <07969> days <03117>
ye shall pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088> Jordan <03383>,
to go <0935> in to possess <03423> the land <0776>, which <0834>
the LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414> you to possess
<03423> it.
12 And to the Reubenites <07206>, and to the Gadites <01425>,
and to half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, spake
<0559> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,
13 Remember <02142> the word <01697> which <0834> Moses <04872>
the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> you,
saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath given you
rest <05117>, and hath given <05414> you this <02063> land
<0776>.
14 Your wives <0802>, your little <02945> ones, and your cattle
<04735>, shall remain <03427> in the land <0776> which <0834>
Moses <04872> gave <05414> you on this side <05676> Jordan
<03383>; but ye shall pass <05674> before <06440> your brethren
<0251> armed <02571>, all <03605> the mighty <01368> men of
valour <02428>, and help <05826> them;
15 Until <05704> the LORD <03068> have given your brethren
<0251> rest <05117>, as [he hath given] you, and they also
<01571> have possessed <03423> the land <0776> which <0834> the
LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414> them: then ye shall
return <07725> unto the land <0776> of your possession <03425>,
and enjoy <03423> it, which <0834> Moses <04872> the LORD'S
<03068> servant <05650> gave <05414> you on this side <05676>
Jordan <03383> toward the sunrising.
16. And they answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,
All <03605> that thou commandest <06680> us we will do <06213>,
and whithersoever thou sendest <07971> us, we will go <03212>.
17 According as we hearkened <08085> unto Moses <04872> in all
<03605> things, so <03651> will we hearken <08085> unto thee:
only <07535> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> be with thee, as he
was with Moses <04872>.
18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel <04784> against thy
commandment <06310>, and will not hearken <08085> unto thy words
<01697> in all <03605> that thou commandest <06680> him, he
shall be put to death <04191>: only <07535> be strong <02388>
and of a good courage <0553>.
Joshua 2
1. And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126> sent
<07971> out of Shittim <07851> two <08147> men <0582> to spy
<07270> secretly <02791>, saying <0559>, Go <03212> view <07200>
the land <0776>, even Jericho <03405>. And they went <03212>,
and came <0935> into an harlot's <02181> house <01004>, named
<08034> Rahab <07343>, and lodged <07901> there <08033>.
2 And it was told <0559> the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>,
saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, there came <0935> men <0582> in
hither to night <03915> of the children <01121> of Israel
<03478> to search <02658> out the country <0776>.
3 And the king <04428> of Jericho <03405> sent <07971> unto
Rahab <07343>, saying <0559>, Bring <03318> forth <03318> the
men <0582> that are come <0935> to thee, which <0834> are
entered <0935> into thine house <01004>: for they be come <0935>
to search <02658> out all <03605> the country <0776>.
4 And the woman <0802> took <03947> the two <08147> men <0582>,
and hid <06845> them, and said <0559> thus <03651>, There came
<0935> men <0582> unto me, but I wist <03045> not whence <0370>
they [were]:
5 And it came <01961> to pass [about the time] of shutting
<05462> of the gate <08179>, when it was dark <02822>, that the
men <0582> went <03318> out: whither <0575> the men <0582> went
<01980> I wot <03045> not: pursue <07291> after <0310> them
quickly <04118>; for ye shall overtake <05381> them.
6 But she had brought <05927> them up to the roof <01406> of
the house, and hid <02934> them with the stalks <06086> of flax
<06593>, which she had laid in order <06186> upon the roof
<01406>.
7 And the men <0582> pursued <07291> after <0310> them the way
<01870> to Jordan <03383> unto the fords <04569>: and as soon
<0834> as they which <0834> pursued <07291> after <0310> them
were gone <03318> out, they shut <05462> the gate <08179>.
8. And before <02962> they were laid <07901> down <07901>, she
came <05927> up unto them upon the roof <01406>;
9 And she said <0559> unto the men <0582>, I know <03045> that
the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> you the land <0776>, and
that your terror <0367> is fallen <05307> upon us, and that all
<03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> faint <04127>
because <06440> of you.
10 For we have heard <08085> how <0834> the LORD <03068> dried
<03001> up the water <04325> of the Red <05488> sea <03220> for
you, when ye came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>; and what <0834>
ye did <06213> unto the two <08147> kings <04428> of the
Amorites <0567>, that [were] on the other <05676> side <05676>
Jordan <03383>, Sihon <05511> and Og <05747>, whom ye utterly
destroyed <02763>.
11 And as soon as we had heard <08085> [these things], our
hearts <03824> did melt <04549>, neither <03808> did there
remain <06965> any more <05750> courage <07307> in any man
<0376>, because <06440> of you: for the LORD <03068> your God
<0430>, he [is] God <0430> in heaven <08064> above <04605>, and
in earth <0776> beneath <08478>.
12 Now <06258> therefore, I pray <04994> you, swear <07650>
unto me by the LORD <03068>, since <03588> I have shewed <06213>
you kindness <02617>, that ye will also <01571> shew <06213>
kindness <02617> unto my father's <01> house <01004>, and give
<05414> me a true <0571> token <0226>:
13 And [that] ye will save <02421> alive <02421> my father <01>,
and my mother <0517>, and my brethren <0251>, and my sisters
<0269>, and all <03605> that they have, and deliver <05337> our
lives <05315> from death <04194>.
14 And the men <0582> answered <0559> her, Our life <05315> for
yours, if <0518> ye utter <05046> not this <02088> our business
<01697>. And it shall be, when the LORD <03068> hath given
<05414> us the land <0776>, that we will deal <06213> kindly
<02617> and truly <0571> with thee.
15 Then she let <03381> them down <03381> by a cord <02256>
through <01157> the window <02474>: for her house <01004> [was]
upon the town <07023> wall <02346>, and she dwelt <03427> upon
the wall <02346>.
16 And she said <0559> unto them, Get <03212> you to the
mountain <02022>, lest <06435> the pursuers <07291> meet <06293>
you; and hide <02247> yourselves there <08033> three <07969>
days <03117>, until <05704> the pursuers <07291> be returned
<07725>: and afterward <0310> may ye go <03212> your way <01870>.
17 And the men <0582> said <0559> unto her, We [will be]
blameless <05355> of this <02088> thine oath <07621> which
<0834> thou hast made us swear <07650>.
18 Behold <02009>, [when] we come <0935> into the land <0776>,
thou shalt bind <07194> this <02088> line <08615> of scarlet
<08144> thread <02339> in the window <02474> which <0834> thou
didst let <03381> us down <03381> by: and thou shalt bring
<0622> thy father <01>, and thy mother <0517>, and thy brethren
<0251>, and all <03605> thy father's <01> household <01004>,
home <01004> unto thee.
19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go <03318> out of
the doors <01817> of thy house <01004> into the street <02351>,
his blood <01818> [shall be] upon his head <07218>, and we [will
be] guiltless <05355>: and whosoever shall be with thee in the
house <01004>, his blood <01818> [shall be] on our head <07218>,
if <0518> [any] hand <03027> be upon him.
20 And if <0518> thou utter <05046> this <02088> our business
<01697>, then we will be quit <05355> of thine oath <07621>
which <0834> thou hast made us to swear <07650>.
21 And she said <0559>, According unto your words <01697>, so
<03651> [be] it. And she sent <07971> them away, and they
departed <03212>: and she bound <07194> the scarlet <08144> line
<08515> in the window <02474>.
22. And they went <03212>, and came <0935> unto the mountain
<02022>, and abode <03427> there <08033> three <07969> days
<03117>, until <05704> the pursuers <07291> were returned
<07725>: and the pursuers <07291> sought <01245> [them]
throughout all <03605> the way <01870>, but found <04672> [them]
not.
23 So the two <08147> men <0582> returned <07725>, and
descended <03381> from the mountain <02022>, and passed <05674>
over <05674>, and came <0935> to Joshua <03091> the son <01121>
of Nun <05126>, and told <05608> him all <03605> [things] that
befell <04672> them:
24 And they said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Truly <03588> the
LORD <03068> hath delivered <05414> into our hands <03027> all
<03605> the land <0776>; for even <01571> all <03605> the
inhabitants <03427> of the country <0776> do faint <04127>
because <06440> of us.
Joshua 3
1. And Joshua <03091> rose <07925> early <07925> in the morning
<01242>; and they removed <05265> from Shittim <07851>, and came
<0935> to Jordan <03383>, he and all <03605> the children
<01121> of Israel <03478>, and lodged <03885> there <08033>
before <02962> they passed <05674> over <05674>.
2 And it came <01961> to pass after <07097> three <07969> days
<03117>, that the officers <07860> went <05974> through <07130>
the host <04264>;
3 And they commanded <06680> the people <05971>, saying <0559>,
When ye see <07200> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of
the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and the priests <03548> the
Levites <03881> bearing <05375> it, then ye shall remove <05265>
from your place <04725>, and go <01980> after <0310> it.
4 Yet <0389> there shall be a space <07350> between <0996> you
and it, about two thousand <0505> cubits <0520> by measure
<04060>: come <07126> not near <07126> unto it, that ye may know
<03045> the way <01870> by which <0834> ye must go <03212>: for
ye have not passed <05674> [this] way <01870> heretofore <08543>.
5 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>,
Sanctify <06942> yourselves: for to morrow <04279> the LORD
<03068> will do <06213> wonders <06381> among <07130> you.
6 And Joshua <03091> spake <0559> unto the priests <03548>,
saying <0559>, Take <05375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant
<01285>, and pass <05674> over <05674> before <06440> the people
<05971>. And they took <05375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant
<01285>, and went <03212> before <06440> the people <05971>.
7. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, This
<02088> day <03117> will I begin <02490> to magnify <01431> thee
in the sight <05869> of all <03605> Israel <03478>, that they
may know <03045> that, as I was with Moses <04872>, [so] I will
be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command <06680> the priests <03548> that bear
<05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>, saying <0559>,
When ye are come <0935> to the brink <07097> of the water
<04325> of Jordan <03383>, ye shall stand <05975> still in
Jordan <03383>.
9 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>, Come <05066> hither <05066>, and hear <08085>
the words <01697> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.
10 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Hereby <02063> ye shall know
<03045> that the living <02416> God <0410> [is] among <07130>
you, and [that] he will without fail drive <03423> out from
before <06440> you the Canaanites <03669>, and the Hittites
<02850>, and the Hivites <02340>, and the Perizzites <06522>,
and the Girgashites <01622>, and the Amorites <0567>, and the
Jebusites <02983>.
11 Behold <02009>, the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of
the Lord <0113> of all <03605> the earth <0776> passeth <05674>
over <05674> before <06440> you into Jordan <03383>.
12 Now <06258> therefore take <03947> you twelve men <0376> out
of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>, out of every tribe
<07626> a man <0376>.
13 And it shall come <01961> to pass, as soon as the soles
<03709> of the feet <07272> of the priests <03548> that bear
<05375> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>, the Lord <0113> of
all <03605> the earth <0776>, shall rest <05117> in the waters
<04325> of Jordan <03383>, [that] the waters <04325> of Jordan
<03383> shall be cut <03772> off [from] the waters <04325> that
come <03381> down <03381> from above <04605>; and they shall
stand <05975> upon an heap <05067>.
14. And it came <01961> to pass, when the people <05971>
removed <05265> from their tents <0168>, to pass <05674> over
<05674> Jordan <03383>, and the priests <03548> bearing <05375>
the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> before <06440> the people
<05971>;
15 And as they that bare <05375> the ark <0727> were come
<0935> unto Jordan <03383>, and the feet <07272> of the priests
<03548> that bare <05375> the ark <0727> were dipped <02881> in
the brim <07097> of the water <04325>, (for Jordan <03383>
overfloweth <04390> all <03605> his banks <01415> all <03605>
the time <03117> of harvest <07105>,)
16 That the waters <04325> which came <03381> down <03381> from
above <04605> stood <05975> [and] rose <06965> up upon an heap
<05067> very <03966> far <07368> from the city <05892> Adam
<0121>, that [is] beside <06654> Zaretan: and those that came
<03381> down <03381> toward <05921> the sea <03220> of the plain
<06160>, [even] the salt <04417> sea <03220>, failed <08552>,
[and] were cut <03772> off: and the people <05971> passed
<05674> over <05674> right against <05048> Jericho <03405>.
17 And the priests <03548> that bare <05375> the ark <0727> of
the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> stood <05975> firm
<03559> on dry <02724> ground in the midst <08432> of Jordan
<03383>, and all <03605> the Israelites <03478> passed <05674>
over <05674> on dry <02724> ground, until <05704> all <03605>
the people <01471> were passed <05674> clean <08552> over
<05674> Jordan <03383>.
Joshua 4
1. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> all <03605> the
people <01471> were clean <08552> passed <05674> over <05674>
Jordan <03383>, that the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua
<03091>, saying <0559>,
2 Take <03947> you twelve men <0582> out of the people <05971>,
out of every tribe <07626> a man <0376>,
3 And command <06680> ye them, saying <0559>, Take <05375> you
hence <02088> out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, out of
the place where the priests <03548>' feet <07272> stood <04673>
firm <03559>, twelve stones <068>, and ye shall carry <05674>
them over <05674> with you, and leave <03241> them in the
lodging <04411> place, where <0834> ye shall lodge <03885> this
night <03915>.
4 Then Joshua <03091> called <07121> the twelve men <0376>,
whom <0834> he had prepared <03559> of the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>, out of every tribe <07626> a man <0376>:
5 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto them, Pass <05674> over
<05674> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> your
God <0430> into <0413> the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, and
take <07311> ye up every man <0376> of you a stone <068> upon
his shoulder <07926>, according unto the number <04557> of the
tribes <07626> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>:
6 That this <02063> may be a sign <0226> among <07130> you,
[that] when <03588> your children <01121> ask <07592> [their
fathers] in time <04279> to come <04279>, saying <0559>, What
<04100> [mean] ye by these <0428> stones <068>?
7 Then ye shall answer <0559> them, That the waters <04325> of
Jordan <03383> were cut <03772> off before <06440> the ark
<0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>; when it
passed <05674> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, the waters <04325>
of Jordan <03383> were cut <03772> off: and these <0428> stones
<068> shall be for a memorial <02146> unto the children <01121>
of Israel <03478> for ever <05769>.
8 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> so
<03651> as Joshua <03091> commanded <06680>, and took <05375> up
twelve stones <068> out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>,
as the LORD <03068> spake <01696> unto Joshua <03091>, according
to the number <04557> of the tribes <07626> of the children
<01121> of Israel <03478>, and carried <05674> them over <05674>
with them unto the place where <0413> they lodged <04411>, and
laid <03241> them down there <08033>.
9 And Joshua <03091> set <06965> up twelve stones <068> in the
midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, in the place where the feet
<07272> of the priests <03548> which bare <05375> the ark <0727>
of the covenant <01285> stood <04673>: and they are there
<08033> unto this <02063> day <03117>.
10. For the priests <03548> which bare <05375> the ark <0727>
stood <05975> in the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, until
<05704> every <03605> thing was finished <08552> that the LORD
<03068> commanded <06680> Joshua <03091> to speak <01696> unto
the people <05971>, according to all <03605> that Moses <04872>
commanded <06680> Joshua <03091>: and the people <05971> hasted
<04116> and passed <05674> over <05674>.
11 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> all <03605> the
people <05971> were clean <08552> passed <05674> over <05674>,
that the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> passed <05674> over
<05674>, and the priests <03548>, in the presence <06440> of the
people <05971>.
12 And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and the children
<01121> of Gad <01410>, and half <02677> the tribe <07626> of
Manasseh <04519>, passed <05674> over <05674> armed <02571>
before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, as Moses
<04872> spake <01696> unto them:
13 About forty <0705> thousand <0505> prepared <02502> for war
<06635> passed <05674> over <05674> before <06440> the LORD
<03068> unto battle <04421>, to the plains <06160> of Jericho
<03405>.
14 On that day <03117> the LORD <03068> magnified <01431>
Joshua <03091> in the sight <05869> of all <03605> Israel
<03478>; and they feared <03372> him, as they feared <03372>
Moses <04872>, all <03605> the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
15 And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <03091>,
saying <0559>,
16 Command <06680> the priests <03548> that bear <05375> the
ark <0727> of the testimony <05715>, that they come <05927> up
out of Jordan <03383>.
17 Joshua <03091> therefore commanded <06680> the priests
<03548>, saying <0559>, Come <05927> ye up out of Jordan <03383>.
18 And it came <01961> to pass, when the priests <03548> that
bare <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD
<03068> were come <05927> up out of the midst <08432> of Jordan
<03383>, [and] the soles <03709> of the priests <03548>' feet
<07272> were lifted <05423> up unto the dry <02724> land, that
the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> returned <07725> unto their
place <04725>, and flowed <03212> over <05921> all <03605> his
banks <01415>, as [they did] before.
19 And the people <05971> came <05927> up out of Jordan <03383>
on the tenth <06218> [day] of the first <07223> month <02320>,
and encamped <02583> in Gilgal <01537>, in the east <04217>
border <07097> of Jericho <03405>.
20. And those <0428> twelve stones <068>, which <0834> they
took <03947> out of Jordan <03383>, did Joshua <03091> pitch
<06965> in Gilgal <01537>.
21 And he spake <0559> unto the children <01121> of Israel
<03478>, saying <0559>, When <0834> your children <01121> shall
ask <07592> their fathers <01> in time <04279> to come <04279>,
saying <0559>, What <04100> [mean] these <0428> stones <068>?
22 Then ye shall let your children <01121> know <03045>, saying
<0559>, Israel <03478> came <05674> over <05674> this <02088>
Jordan <03383> on dry <03004> land.
23 For the LORD <03068> your God <0430> dried <03001> up the
waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> from before <06440> you, until
<05704> ye were passed <05674> over <05674>, as the LORD <03068>
your God <0430> did <06213> to the Red <05488> sea <03220>,
which <0834> he dried <03001> up from before <06440> us, until
<05704> we were gone <05674> over <05674>:
24 That all <03605> the people <05971> of the earth <0776>
might know <03045> the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>, that it
[is] mighty <02389>: that ye might fear <03372> the LORD <03068>
your God <0430> for ever.
Joshua 5
1. And it came <01961> to pass, when all <03605> the kings
<04428> of the Amorites <0567>, which <0834> [were] on the side
<05676> of Jordan <03383> westward <03220>, and all <03605> the
kings <04428> of the Canaanites <03669>, which <0834> [were] by
the sea <03220>, heard <08085> that the LORD <03068> had dried
<03001> up the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> from before
<06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, until <05704> we
were passed <05674> over <05674>, that their heart <03824>
melted <04549>, neither <03808> was there spirit <07307> in them
any more <05750>, because <06440> of the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>.
2 At that time <06256> the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua
<03091>, Make <06213> thee sharp <06697> knives <02719>, and
circumcise <04135> again <07725> the children <01121> of Israel
<03478> the second <08145> time.
3 And Joshua <03091> made <06213> him sharp <06697> knives
<02719>, and circumcised <04135> the children <01121> of Israel
<03478> at <0413> the hill <01389> of the foreskins <06190>.
4 And this <02088> [is] the cause <01697> why Joshua <03091>
did circumcise <04135>: All <03605> the people <05971> that came
<03318> out of Egypt <04714>, [that were] males <02145>, [even]
all <03605> the men <0582> of war <04421>, died <04191> in the
wilderness <04057> by the way <01870>, after they came <03318>
out of Egypt <04714>.
5 Now <03588> all <03605> the people <05971> that came <03318>
out were circumcised <04135>: but all <03605> the people <05971>
[that were] born <03209> in the wilderness <04057> by the way
<01870> as they came <03318> forth <03318> out of Egypt <04714>,
[them] they had not circumcised <04135>.
6 For the children <01121> of Israel <03478> walked <01980>
forty <0705> years <08141> in the wilderness <04057>, till
<05704> all <03605> the people <01471> [that were] men <0582> of
war <04421>, which came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>, were
consumed <08552>, because <0834> they obeyed <08085> not the
voice <06963> of the LORD <03068>: unto whom the LORD <03068>
sware <07650> that he would not shew <07200> them the land
<0776>, which <0834> the LORD <03068> sware <07650> unto their
fathers <01> that he would give <05414> us, a land <0776> that
floweth <02100> with milk <02461> and honey <01706>.
7 And their children <01121>, [whom] he raised <06965> up in
their stead <08478>, them Joshua <03091> circumcised <04135>:
for they were uncircumcised <06189>, because <03588> they had
not circumcised <04135> them by the way <01870>.
8 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> they had done
<08552> circumcising <04135> all <03605> the people <01471>,
that they abode <03427> in their places <08478> in the camp
<04264>, till <05704> they were whole <02421>.
9 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, This
day <03117> have I rolled <01556> away the reproach <02781> of
Egypt <04714> from off <05921> you. Wherefore the name <08034>
of the place <04725> is called <07121> Gilgal <01537> unto this
<02088> day <03117>.
10. And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> encamped <02583>
in Gilgal <01537>, and kept <06213> the passover <06453> on the
fourteenth day <03117> of the month <02320> at even <06153> in
the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>.
11 And they did eat <0398> of the old <05669> corn <05669> of
the land <0776> on the morrow <04283> after the passover <06453>,
unleavened <04682> cakes <04682>, and parched [corn] in the
selfsame day <03117>.
12 And the manna <04478> ceased <07673> on the morrow <04283>
after they had eaten <0398> of the old <05669> corn <05669> of
the land <0776>; neither <03808> had <01961> the children
<01121> of Israel <03478> manna <04478> any more <05750>; but
they did eat <0398> of the fruit <08393> of the land <0776> of
Canaan <03667> that year <08141>.
13. And it came <01961> to pass, when Joshua <03091> was by
Jericho <03405>, that he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869> and
looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, there stood <05975> a man
<0376> over <05048> against <05048> him with his sword <02719>
drawn <08025> in his hand <03027>: and Joshua <03091> went
<03212> unto him, and said <0559> unto him, [Art] thou for us,
or for our adversaries <06862>?
14 And he said <0559>, Nay <03808>; but [as] captain <08269> of
the host <06635> of the LORD <0113> am I now <06258> come <0935>.
And Joshua <03091> fell <05307> on <0413> his face <06440> to
the earth <0776>, and did worship <07812>, and said <0559> unto
him, What <04100> saith <01696> my lord <03068> unto his servant
<05650>?
15 And the captain <08269> of the LORD'S <03068> host <06635>
said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Loose <05394> thy shoe <05275>
from off <05921> thy foot <07272>; for the place <04725> whereon
thou standest <05975> [is] holy <06944>. And Joshua <03091> did
<06213> so <03651>.
Joshua 6
1. Now Jericho <03405> was straitly shut <05462> up because
<06440> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: none <0369>
went <03318> out, and none <0369> came <0935> in.
2 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, See
<07200>, I have given <05414> into thine hand <03027> Jericho
<03405>, and the king <04428> thereof, [and] the mighty <01368>
men of valour <02428>.
3 And ye shall compass <05437> the city <05892>, all <03605>
[ye] men <0582> of war <04421>, [and] go <05362> round <05362>
about the city <05892> once <0259>. Thus <03541> shalt thou do
<06213> six <08337> days <03117>.
4 And seven <07651> priests <03548> shall bear <05375> before
<06440> the ark <0727> seven <07651> trumpets <07782> of rams
<03104>' horns <03104>: and the seventh <07637> day <03117> ye
shall compass <05437> the city <05892> seven <07651> times
<06471>, and the priests <03548> shall blow <08628> with the
trumpets <07782>.
5 And it shall come <01961> to pass, that when they make a long
<04900> [blast] with the ram's <03104> horn <07161>, [and] when
ye hear <08085> the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>, all
<03605> the people <05971> shall shout <07321> with a great
<01419> shout <08643>; and the wall <02346> of the city <05892>
shall fall <05307> down flat <08478>, and the people <05971>
shall ascend <05927> up every man <0376> straight before <05048>
him.
6. And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126> called
<07121> the priests <03548>, and said <0559> unto them, Take
<05375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>, and let seven
<07651> priests <03548> bear <05375> seven <07651> trumpets
<07782> of rams <03104>' horns <03104> before <06440> the ark
<0727> of the LORD <03068>.
7 And he said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Pass <05674> on,
and compass <05437> the city <05892>, and let him that is armed
<02502> pass <05674> on <0413> before <06440> the ark <0727> of
the LORD <03068>.
8 And it came <01961> to pass, when Joshua <03091> had spoken
<0559> unto the people <05971>, that the seven <07651> priests
<03548> bearing <05375> the seven <07651> trumpets <07782> of
rams <03104>' horns passed <05674> on <0413> before <06440> the
LORD <03068>, and blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>: and
the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>
followed them.
9 And the armed <02502> men went <01980> before <06440> the
priests <03548> that blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>, and
the rereward <0622> came <01980> after <0310> the ark <0727>,
[the priests <03548>] going <01980> on, and blowing <08628> with
the trumpets <07782>.
10 And Joshua <03091> had commanded <06680> the people <05971>,
saying <0559>, Ye shall not shout <07321>, nor <03808> make any
noise <08085> with your voice <06963>, neither <03808> shall
[any] word <01697> proceed <03318> out of your mouth <06310>,
until <05704> the day <03117> I bid <0559> you shout <07321>;
then shall ye shout <07321>.
11 So the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> compassed <05437> the
city <05892>, going <05362> about <05362> [it] once <0259>: and
they came <0935> into the camp <04264>, and lodged <03885> in
the camp <04264>.
12 And Joshua <03091> rose <07925> early <07925> in the morning
<01242>, and the priests <03548> took <05375> up the ark <0727>
of the LORD <03068>.
13 And seven <07651> priests bearing <05375> seven <07651>
trumpets <07782> of rams <03104>' horns <03104> before <06440>
the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> went <01980> on <0413>
continually <01980>, and blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>:
and the armed <02502> men went <01980> before <06440> them; but
the rereward <0622> came <01980> after <0310> the ark <0727> of
the LORD <03068>, [the priests <03548>] going <01980> on <0413>,
and blowing <08628> with the trumpets <07782>.
14 And the second <08145> day <03117> they compassed <05437>
the city <05892> once <0259>, and returned <07725> into the camp
<04264>: so <03541> they did <06213> six <08337> days <03117>.
15 And it came <01961> to pass on the seventh <07637> day
<03117>, that they rose <07925> early <07925> about the dawning
<05927> of the day <07837>, and compassed <05437> the city
<05892> after the same <02088> manner <04941> seven <07651>
times <06471>: only <07535> on that day <03117> they compassed
<05437> the city <05892> seven <07651> times <06471>.
16 And it came <01961> to pass at the seventh <07637> time
<06471>, when the priests <03548> blew <08628> with the trumpets
<07782>, Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>,
Shout <07321>; for the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> you the
city <05892>.
17. And the city <05892> shall be accursed <02764>, [even] it,
and all <03605> that [are] therein, to the LORD <03068>: only
<07535> Rahab <07343> the harlot <02181> shall live <02421>, she
and all <03605> that [are] with her in the house <01004>,
because <03588> she hid <02244> the messengers <04397> that we
sent <07971>.
18 And ye, in any wise keep <08104> [yourselves] from the
accursed <02764> thing, lest <06435> ye make [yourselves]
accursed <02764>, when ye take <03947> of the accursed <02764>
thing, and make <07760> the camp <04264> of Israel <03478> a
curse <02764>, and trouble <05916> it.
19 But all <03605> the silver <03701>, and gold <02091>, and
vessels <03627> of brass <05178> and iron <01270>, [are]
consecrated <06944> unto the LORD <03068>: they shall come
<0935> into the treasury <0214> of the LORD <03068>.
20 So the people <05971> shouted <07321> when [the priests
<03548>] blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>: and it came
<01961> to pass, when the people <05971> heard <08085> the sound
<06963> of the trumpet <07782>, and the people <05971> shouted
<07321> with a great <01419> shout <08643>, that the wall
<02346> fell <05307> down flat <08478>, so that the people
<05971> went <05927> up into the city <05892>, every man <0376>
straight before <05048> him, and they took <03920> the city
<05892>.
21 And they utterly destroyed <02763> all <03605> that [was] in
the city <05892>, both man <0376> and woman <0802>, young
<05288> and old <05288>, and ox <07794>, and sheep <07716>, and
ass <02543>, with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>.
22 But Joshua <03091> had said <0559> unto the two <08147> men
<0582> that had spied <07270> out the country <0776>, Go <0935>
into the harlot's <02181> house <01004>, and bring <03318> out
thence <08033> the woman <0802>, and all <03605> that she hath,
as ye sware <07650> unto her.
23 And the young <05288> men that were spies <07270> went
<0935> in, and brought <03318> out Rahab <07343>, and her father
<01>, and her mother <0517>, and her brethren <0251>, and all
<03605> that she had; and they brought <03318> out all <03605>
her kindred <04940>, and left <03241> them without <02351> the
camp <04264> of Israel <03478>.
24 And they burnt <08313> the city <05892> with fire <0784>,
and all <03605> that [was] therein: only <07535> the silver
<03701>, and the gold <02091>, and the vessels <03627> of brass
<05178> and of iron <01270>, they put <05414> into the treasury
<0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
25 And Joshua <03091> saved <02421> Rahab <07343> the harlot
<02181> alive <02421>, and her father's <01> household <01004>,
and all <03605> that she had; and she dwelleth <03427> in Israel
<03478> [even] unto this <02088> day <03117>; because <03588>
she hid <02244> the messengers <04397>, which <0834> Joshua
<03091> sent <07971> to spy <07270> out Jericho <03405>.
26 And Joshua <03091> adjured <07650> [them] at that time
<06256>, saying <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] the man <0376> before
<06440> the LORD <03068>, that riseth <06965> up and buildeth
<01129> this <02063> city <05892> Jericho <03405>: he shall lay
the foundation <03245> thereof in his firstborn <01060>, and in
his youngest <06810> [son] shall he set <05324> up the gates
<01817> of it.
27 So the LORD <03068> was with Joshua <03091>; and his fame
<08089> was [noised] throughout all <03605> the country <0776>.
Joshua 7
1. But the children <01121> of Israel <03478> committed <04600>
a trespass <04604> in the accursed <02764> thing: for Achan
<05912>, the son <01121> of Carmi <03756>, the son <01121> of
Zabdi <02067>, the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, of the tribe
<04294> of Judah <03063>, took <03947> of the accursed <02764>
thing: and the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was kindled
<02734> against the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
2 And Joshua <03091> sent <07971> men <0582> from Jericho
<03405> to Ai <05857>, which <0834> [is] beside <05973> Bethaven
<01007>, on the east <06924> side of Bethel <01008>, and spake
<0559> unto them, saying <0559>, Go <05927> up and view <07270>
the country <0776>. And the men <0582> went <05927> up and
viewed <07370> Ai <05857>.
3 And they returned <07725> to Joshua <03091>, and said <0559>
unto him, Let not all <03605> the people <05971> go <05927> up;
but let about two or <0176> three <07969> thousand <0505> men
<0376> go <05927> up and smite <06221> Ai <05857>; [and] make
not all <03605> the people <05971> to labour <03021> thither
<08033>; for they [are but] few <04592>.
4 So there went <05927> up thither <08033> of the people
<05971> about three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376>: and they
fled <05127> before <06440> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
5 And the men <0582> of Ai <05857> smote <05221> of them about
thirty <07970> and six <08337> men <0376>: for they chased
<07291> them [from] before <06440> the gate <08179> [even] unto
Shebarim <07671>, and smote <05221> them in the going <04174>
down <04174>: wherefore the hearts <03824> of the people <05971>
melted <04549>, and became <01961> as water <04325>.
6. And Joshua <03091> rent <07167> his clothes <08071>, and
fell <05307> to the earth <0776> upon his face <06440> before
<06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> until <05704> the
eventide <06153>, he and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>,
and put <05927> dust <06083> upon their heads <07218>.
7 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Alas <0160>, O Lord <0136>
GOD <03069>, wherefore <04100> hast thou at all brought <05674>
this <02088> people <05971> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, to
deliver <05414> us into the hand <03027> of the Amorites <0567>,
to destroy <06> us? would <03863> to God we had been content
<02974>, and dwelt <03427> on the other <05676> side <05676>
Jordan <03383>!
8 O Lord <0136>, what <04100> shall I say <0559>, when <06310>
Israel <03478> turneth <02015> their backs <06203> before
<06440> their enemies <0341>!
9 For the Canaanites <03669> and all <03605> the inhabitants
<03427> of the land <0776> shall hear <08085> [of it], and shall
environ <05437> us round <05921>, and cut <03772> off our name
<08034> from the earth <0776>: and what <04100> wilt thou do
<06213> unto thy great <01419> name <08034>?
10. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Get
<06965> thee up; wherefore <04100> liest <05307> thou thus
<02088> upon thy face <06440>?
11 Israel <03478> hath sinned <02398>, and they have also
<01571> transgressed <05674> my covenant <01285> which <0834> I
commanded <06680> them: for they have even <01571> taken <03947>
of the accursed <02764> thing, and have also <01571> stolen
<01589>, and dissembled <03584> also <01571>, and they have put
<07760> [it] even <01571> among their own stuff <03627>.
12 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> could
<03201> not stand <06965> before <06440> their enemies <0341>,
[but] turned <06437> [their] backs <06203> before <06440> their
enemies <0341>, because <03588> they were accursed <02764>:
neither <03808> will I be with you any more <03254>, except ye
destroy <08045> the accursed <02764> from among <07130> you.
13 Up, sanctify <06942> the people <05971>, and say <0559>,
Sanctify <06942> yourselves against to morrow <04279>: for thus
<03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel
<03478>, [There is] an accursed <02764> thing in the midst
<07130> of thee, O Israel <03478>: thou canst <03201> not stand
<06965> before <06440> thine enemies <0341>, until <05704> ye
take <05493> away the accursed <02764> thing from among <07130>
you.
14 In the morning <01242> therefore ye shall be brought <07126>
according to your tribes <07626>: and it shall be, [that] the
tribe <07626> which <0834> the LORD <03068> taketh <03920> shall
come <07126> according to the families <04940> [thereof]; and
the family <04940> which <0834> the LORD <03068> shall take
<03920> shall come <07126> by households <01004>; and the
household <01004> which <0834> the LORD <03068> shall take
<03920> shall come <07126> man <01397> by man <01397>.
15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken <03920> with the
accursed <02764> thing shall be burnt <08313> with fire <0784>,
he and all <03605> that he hath: because <03588> he hath
transgressed <05674> the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>,
and because <03588> he hath wrought <06213> folly <05039> in
Israel <03478>.
16. So Joshua <03091> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the
morning <01242>, and brought <07126> Israel <03478> by their
tribes <07626>; and the tribe <07626> of Judah <03063> was taken
<03920>:
17 And he brought <07126> the family <04940> of Judah <03063>;
and he took <03920> the family <04940> of the Zarhites <02227>:
and he brought <07126> the family <04940> of the Zarhites
<02227> man <01397> by man <01397>; and Zabdi <02067> was taken
<03920>:
18 And he brought <07126> his household <01004> man <01397> by
man <01397>; and Achan <05912>, the son <01121> of Carmi <03756>,
the son <01121> of Zabdi <02067>, the son <01121> of Zerah
<02226>, of the tribe <04294> of Judah <03063>, was taken
<03920>.
19 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto Achan <05912>, My son
<01121>, give <07760>, I pray <04994> thee, glory <03519> to the
LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and make <05414>
confession <08426> unto him; and tell <05046> me now <04994>
what <04100> thou hast done <06213>; hide <03582> [it] not from
me.
20 And Achan <05912> answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, and said
<0559>, Indeed <0546> I have sinned <02398> against the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and thus <02063> and thus
<02063> have I done <06213>:
21 When I saw <07200> among the spoils <07998> a goodly <02896>
Babylonish <08152> garment <0155>, and two <08147> hundred
<03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>, and a wedge <06956>
of gold <02091> of fifty <02572> shekels <08255> weight <04948>,
then I coveted <02530> them, and took <03947> them; and, behold
<02009>, they [are] hid <02934> in the earth <0776> in the midst
<08432> of my tent <0168>, and the silver <03701> under <08478>
it.
22 So Joshua <03091> sent <07971> messengers <04397>, and they
ran <07323> unto the tent <0168>; and, behold <02009>, [it was]
hid <02934> in his tent <0168>, and the silver <03701> under
<08478> it.
23 And they took <03947> them out of the midst <08432> of the
tent <0168>, and brought <0935> them unto Joshua <03091>, and
unto all <03605> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and
laid <03332> them out before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
24 And Joshua <03091>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him,
took <03947> Achan <05912> the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, and
the silver <03701>, and the garment <0155>, and the wedge
<06956> of gold <02091>, and his sons <01121>, and his daughters
<01121>, and his oxen <07794>, and his asses <02543>, and his
sheep <06629>, and his tent <0168>, and all <03605> that he had:
and they brought <05927> them unto the valley <06010> of Achor
<05911>.
25 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Why <04100> hast thou
troubled <05916> us? the LORD <03068> shall trouble <05916> thee
this <02088> day <03117>. And all <03605> Israel <03478> stoned
<05619> him with stones <068>, and burned <08313> them with fire
<0784>, after they had stoned <07275> them with stones <068>.
26 And they raised <06965> over <05921> him a great <01419>
heap <01530> of stones <068> unto this <02088> day <03117>. So
the LORD <03068> turned <07725> from the fierceness <02740> of
his anger <0639>. Wherefore the name <08034> of that place
<04725> was called <07121>, The valley <06010> of Achor <05911>,
unto this <02088> day <03117>.
Joshua 8
1. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Fear
<03372> not, neither <0408> be thou dismayed <02865>: take
<03947> all <03605> the people <05971> of war <04421> with thee,
and arise <06965>, go <05927> up to Ai <05857>: see <07200>, I
have given <05414> into thy hand <03027> the king <04428> of Ai
<05857>, and his people <05971>, and his city <05892>, and his
land <0776>:
2 And thou shalt do <06213> to Ai <05857> and her king <04428>
as thou didst <06213> unto Jericho <03405> and her king <04428>:
only <07535> the spoil <07998> thereof, and the cattle <0929>
thereof, shall ye take for a prey <0962> unto yourselves: lay
<07760> thee an ambush <0693> for the city <05892> behind <0310>
it.
3. So Joshua <03091> arose <06965>, and all <03605> the people
<05971> of war <04421>, to go <05927> up against Ai <05857>: and
Joshua <03091> chose <0977> out thirty <07970> thousand <0505>
mighty <01368> men <0376> of valour <02428>, and sent <07971>
them away by night <03915>.
4 And he commanded <06680> them, saying <0559>, Behold <07200>,
ye shall lie <0693> in wait <0693> against the city <05892>,
[even] behind <0310> the city <05892>: go <07368> not very
<03966> far <07368> from the city <05892>, but be ye all <03605>
ready <03559>:
5 And I, and all <03605> the people <05971> that [are] with me,
will approach <07126> unto the city <05892>: and it shall come
<01961> to pass, when <03588> they come <03318> out against
<07125> us, as at the first <07223>, that we will flee <05127>
before <06440> them,
6 (For they will come <03318> out after <0310> us) till <05704>
we have drawn <05423> them from the city <05892>; for they will
say <0559>, They flee <05127> before <06440> us, as at the first
<07223>: therefore we will flee <05127> before <06440> them.
7 Then ye shall rise <06965> up from the ambush <0693>, and
seize <03423> upon the city <05892>: for the LORD <03068> your
God <0430> will deliver <05414> it into your hand <03027>.
8 And it shall be, when ye have taken <08610> the city <05892>,
[that] ye shall set <03341> the city <05892> on fire <0784>:
according to the commandment <01697> of the LORD <03068> shall
ye do <06213>. See <07200>, I have commanded <06680> you.
9 Joshua <03091> therefore sent <07971> them forth: and they
went <03212> to lie in ambush <0693>, and abode <03427> between
<0996> Bethel <01008> and Ai <05857>, on the west <03220> side
of Ai <05857>: but Joshua <03091> lodged <03885> that night
<03915> among <08432> the people <05971>.
10 And Joshua <03091> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the
morning <01242>, and numbered <06485> the people <05971>, and
went <05927> up, he and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>,
before <06440> the people <05971> to Ai <05857>.
11 And all <03605> the people <05971>, [even the people] of war
<04421> that [were] with him, went <05927> up, and drew nigh
<05066>, and came <0935> before <06440> the city <05892>, and
pitched <02583> on the north <06828> side of Ai <05857>: now
[there was] a valley <01516> between <0996> them and Ai <05857>.
12 And he took <03947> about five <02568> thousand <0505> men
<0376>, and set <07760> them to lie in ambush <0693> between
<0996> Bethel <01008> and Ai <05857>, on the west <03220> side
of the city <05892>.
13 And when they had set <07760> the people <05971>, [even] all
<03605> the host <04264> that [was] on the north <06828> of the
city <05892>, and their liers in wait <06119> on the west
<03220> of the city <05892>, Joshua <03091> went <03212> that
night <03915> into the midst <08432> of the valley <06010>.
14 And it came <01961> to pass, when the king <04428> of Ai
<05857> saw <07200> [it], that they hasted <04116> and rose
<07925> up early <07925>, and the men <0582> of the city <05892>
went <03318> out against <07125> Israel <03478> to battle
<04421>, he and all <03605> his people <05971>, at a time
appointed <04150>, before <06440> the plain <06160>; but he wist
<03045> not that [there were] liers in ambush <0693> against him
behind <0310> the city <05892>.
15 And Joshua <03091> and all <03605> Israel <03478> made as if
they were beaten <05060> before <06440> them, and fled <05127>
by the way <01870> of the wilderness <04057>.
16 And all <03605> the people <05971> that [were] in Ai <05857>
were called <02199> together to pursue <07291> after <0310> them:
and they pursued <07291> after <0310> Joshua <03091>, and were
drawn <05423> away from the city <05892>.
17 And there was not a man <0376> left <07604> in Ai <05857> or
Bethel <01008>, that went <03318> not out after <0310> Israel
<03478>: and they left <05800> the city <05892> open <06605>,
and pursued <07291> after Israel <03478>.
18 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>,
Stretch <05186> out the spear <03591> that [is] in thy hand
<03027> toward <0413> Ai <05857>; for I will give <05414> it
into thine hand <03027>. And Joshua <03091> stretched <05186>
out the spear <03591> that [he had] in his hand <03027> toward
<0413> the city <05892>.
19 And the ambush <0693> arose <06965> quickly <04120> out of
their place <04725>, and they ran <07323> as soon as he had
stretched <05186> out his hand <03027>: and they entered <0935>
into the city <05892>, and took <03920> it, and hasted <04116>
and set the city <05892> on fire <0784>.
20 And when the men <0582> of Ai <05857> looked <06437> behind
<0310> them, they saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the smoke
<06227> of the city <05892> ascended <05927> up to heaven
<08064>, and they had no <03808> power <03027> to flee <05127>
this <02007> way <02008> or that way <02008>: and the people
<05971> that fled <05127> to the wilderness <04057> turned
<02015> back <02015> upon the pursuers <07291>.
21 And when Joshua <03091> and all <03605> Israel <03478> saw
<07200> that the ambush <0693> had taken <03920> the city
<05892>, and that the smoke <06227> of the city <05892> ascended
<05927>, then they turned <07725> again <07725>, and slew
<05221> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
22 And the other <0428> issued <03318> out of the city <05892>
against <07125> them; so they were in the midst <08432> of
Israel <03478>, some <0428> on this <02088> side, and some
<0428> on that side: and they smote <05221> them, so <05704>
that they let none <01115> of them remain <08300> or escape
<06412>.
23. And the king <04428> of Ai <05857> they took <08610> alive
<02416>, and brought <07126> him to Joshua <03091>.
24 And it came <01961> to pass, when Israel <03478> had made an
end <03615> of slaying <02026> all <03605> the inhabitants
<03427> of Ai <05857> in the field <07704>, in the wilderness
<04057> wherein <0834> they chased <07291> them, and when they
were all <03605> fallen <05307> on the edge <06310> of the sword
<02719>, until <05704> they were consumed <08552>, that all
<03605> the Israelites <03478> returned <07725> unto Ai <05857>,
and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>.
25 And [so] it was, [that] all <03605> that fell <05307> that
day <03117>, both of men <0376> and women <0802>, [were] twelve
thousand <0505>, [even] all <03605> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
26 For Joshua <03091> drew <07725> not his hand <03027> back
<07725>, wherewith <0834> he stretched <05186> out the spear
<03591>, until <05704> he had utterly destroyed <02763> all
<03605> the inhabitants <03427> of Ai <05857>.
27 Only <07535> the cattle <0929> and the spoil <07998> of that
city <05892> Israel <03478> took for a prey <0962> unto
themselves <01992>, according unto the word <01697> of the LORD
<03068> which <0834> he commanded <06680> Joshua <03091>.
28 And Joshua <03091> burnt <08313> Ai <05857>, and made
<07760> it an heap <08510> for ever <05769>, [even] a desolation
<08077> unto this <02088> day <03117>.
29 And the king <04428> of Ai <05857> he hanged <08518> on
<05921> a tree <06086> until <05704> eventide: and as soon as
the sun <08121> was down <0935>, Joshua <03091> commanded
<06680> that they should take <03381> his carcase <05038> down
<03381> from the tree <06086>, and cast <07993> it at <0413> the
entering <06607> of the gate <08179> of the city <05892>, and
raise <06965> thereon <05921> a great <01419> heap <01530> of
stones <068>, [that remaineth] unto this <02088> day <03117>.
30. Then <0227> Joshua <03091> built <01129> an altar <04196>
unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> in mount
<02022> Ebal <05858>,
31 As Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>
commanded <06680> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, as it
is written <03789> in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of
Moses <04872>, an altar <04196> of whole <08003> stones <068>,
over <05921> which <0834> no <03808> man hath lift <05130> up
[any] iron <01270>: and they offered <05927> thereon <05921>
burnt <05930> offerings unto the LORD <03068>, and sacrificed
<02076> peace <08002> offerings.
32 And he wrote <03789> there <08033> upon the stones <068> a
copy <04932> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, which <0834>
he wrote <03789> in the presence <06440> of the children <01121>
of Israel <03478>.
33 And all <03605> Israel <03478>, and their elders <02205>,
and officers <07860>, and their judges <08199>, stood <05975> on
this <02088> side the ark <0727> and on that side before <05048>
the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, which bare <05375> the
ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, as well
the stranger <01616>, as he that was born <0249> among them;
half <02677> of them over <0413> against <04136> mount <02022>
Gerizim <01630>, and half <02677> of them over against <04136>
mount <02022> Ebal <05858>; as Moses <04872> the servant <05650>
of the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> before <07223>, that
they should bless <01288> the people <05971> of Israel <03478>.
34 And afterward he read <07121> all <03605> the words <01697>
of the law <08451>, the blessings <01293> and cursings <07045>,
according to all <03605> that is written <03789> in the book
<05612> of the law <08451>.
35 There was not a word <01697> of all <03605> that Moses
<04872> commanded <06680>, which <0834> Joshua <03091> read
<07121> not before <05048> all <03605> the congregation <06951>
of Israel <03478>, with the women <0802>, and the little <02945>
ones, and the strangers <01616> that were conversant <01980>
among <07130> them.
Joshua 9
1. And it came <01961> to pass, when all <03605> the kings
<04428> which <0834> [were] on this side <05676> Jordan <03383>,
in the hills <02022>, and in the valleys <08219>, and in all
<03605> the coasts <02348> of the great <01419> sea <03220> over
against <04136> Lebanon <03844>, the Hittite <02850>, and the
Amorite <0567>, the Canaanite <03669>, the Perizzite <06522>,
the Hivite <02340>, and the Jebusite <02983>, heard <08085>
[thereof];
2 That they gathered <06908> themselves together <03162>, to
fight <03898> with Joshua <03091> and with Israel <03478>, with
one <0259> accord <06310>.
3. And when the inhabitants <03427> of Gibeon <01391> heard
<08085> what Joshua <03091> had done <06213> unto Jericho
<03405> and to Ai <05857>,
4 They did <06213> work <06213> wilily <06195>, and went
<03212> and made as if they had been ambassadors <06735>, and
took <03947> old <01087> sacks <08242> upon their asses <02543>,
and wine <03196> bottles <04997>, old <01087>, and rent <01234>,
and bound <06887> up;
5 And old <01087> shoes <05275> and clouted <02921> upon their
feet <07272>, and old <01087> garments <08008> upon them; and
all <03605> the bread <03899> of their provision <06718> was dry
<03004> [and] mouldy <05350>.
6 And they went <03212> to Joshua <03091> unto the camp <04264>
at Gilgal <01537>, and said <0559> unto him, and to the men
<0376> of Israel <03478>, We be come <0935> from a far <07350>
country <0776>: now <06258> therefore make <03772> ye a league
<01285> with us.
7 And the men <0376> of Israel <03478> said <0559> unto the
Hivites <02340>, Peradventure <0194> ye dwell <03427> among
<07130> us; and how <0349> shall we make <03772> a league
<01285> with you?
8 And they said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, We [are] thy
servants <05650>. And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto them, Who
<04310> [are] ye? and from whence <0370> come <0935> ye?
9 And they said <0559> unto him, From a very <03966> far
<07350> country <0776> thy servants <05650> are come <0935>
because of the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>:
for we have heard <08085> the fame <08089> of him, and all
<03605> that he did <06213> in Egypt <04714>,
10 And all <03605> that he did <06213> to the two <08147> kings
<04428> of the Amorites <0567>, that [were] beyond <05676>
Jordan <03383>, to Sihon <05511> king <04428> of Heshbon <02809>,
and to Og <05747> king <04428> of Bashan <01316>, which <0834>
[was] at Ashtaroth <06252>.
11 Wherefore our elders <02205> and all <03605> the inhabitants
<03427> of our country <0776> spake <0559> to us, saying <0559>,
Take <03947> victuals <06720> with you for the journey <01870>,
and go <03212> to meet <07125> them, and say <0559> unto them,
We [are] your servants <05650>: therefore now <06258> make
<03772> ye a league <01285> with us.
12 This <02088> our bread <03899> we took hot <02525> [for] our
provision <06679> out of our houses <01004> on the day <03117>
we came <03318> forth <03318> to go <03212> unto you; but now
<06258>, behold <02009>, it is dry <03001>, and it is mouldy
<05350>:
13 And these <0428> bottles <04997> of wine <03196>, which
<0834> we filled <04390>, [were] new <02319>; and, behold
<02009>, they be rent <01234>: and these <0428> our garments
<08008> and our shoes <05275> are become <01086> old <01086> by
reason of the very <03966> long <07230> journey <01870>.
14 And the men <0582> took <03947> of their victuals <06718>,
and asked <07592> not [counsel] at the mouth <06310> of the LORD
<03068>.
15. And Joshua <03091> made <06213> peace <07965> with them,
and made <06213> a league <01285> with them, to let them live
<02421>: and the princes <05387> of the congregation <05712>
sware <07650> unto them.
16 And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07097> of three
<07969> days <03117> after <0310> they had made <03772> a league
<01285> with them, that they heard <08085> that they [were]
their neighbours <07138>, and [that] they dwelt <03427> among
<07130> them.
17 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> journeyed <05265>,
and came <0935> unto their cities <05892> on the third <07992>
day <03117>. Now their cities <05892> [were] Gibeon <01391>, and
Chephirah <03716>, and Beeroth <0881>, and Kirjathjearim <07157>.
18 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> smote <05221>
them not, because <03588> the princes <05387> of the
congregation <05712> had sworn <07650> unto them by the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>. And all <03605> the
congregation <05712> murmured <03885> against <05921> the
princes <05387>.
19 But all <03605> the princes <05387> said <0559> unto all
<03605> the congregation <05712>, We have sworn <07650> unto
them by the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>: now
<06258> therefore we may <03201> not touch <05060> them.
20 This <02063> we will do <06213> to them; we will even let
them live <02421>, lest <03808> wrath <07110> be upon us,
because <05921> of the oath <07621> which <0834> we sware
<07650> unto them.
21 And the princes <05387> said <0559> unto them, Let them live
<02421>; but let them be hewers <02404> of wood <06086> and
drawers <07579> of water <04325> unto all <03605> the
congregation <05712>; as the princes <05387> had promised
<01696> them.
22. And Joshua <03091> called <07121> for them, and he spake
<01696> unto them, saying <0559>, Wherefore <04100> have ye
beguiled <07411> us, saying <0559>, We [are] very <03966> far
<07350> from you; when ye dwell <03427> among <07130> us?
23 Now <06258> therefore ye [are] cursed <0779>, and there
shall none <03808> of you be freed <03772> from being bondmen
<05650>, and hewers <02404> of wood <06086> and drawers <07579>
of water <04325> for the house <01004> of my God <0430>.
24 And they answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, and said <0559>,
Because <03588> it was certainly told <05046> thy servants
<05650>, how that the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> commanded
<06680> his servant <05650> Moses <04872> to give <05414> you
all <03605> the land <0776>, and to destroy <08045> all <03605>
the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> from before <06440>
you, therefore we were sore <03966> afraid <03372> of our lives
<05315> because <06440> of you, and have done <06213> this
<02088> thing <01697>.
25 And now <06258>, behold <02005>, we [are] in thine hand
<03027>: as it seemeth <05869> good <02896> and right <03477>
unto thee to do <06213> unto us, do <06213>.
26 And so <03651> did <06213> he unto them, and delivered
<05337> them out of the hand <03027> of the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>, that they slew <02026> them not.
27 And Joshua <03091> made <05414> them that day <03117> hewers
<02404> of wood <06086> and drawers <07579> of water <04325> for
the congregation <05712>, and for the altar <04196> of the LORD
<03068>, even unto this <02088> day <03117>, in the place
<04725> which <0834> he should choose <0977>.
Joshua 10
1. Now it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> Adonizedek <0139>
king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389> had heard <08085> how <03588>
Joshua <03091> had taken <03920> Ai <05857>, and had <01961>
utterly destroyed <02763> it; as he had <01961> done <06213> to
Jericho <03405> and her king <04428>, so <03651> he had <01961>
done <06213> to Ai <05857> and her king <04428>; and how <03588>
the inhabitants <03427> of Gibeon <01391> had <01961> made peace
<07999> with Israel <03478>, and were among <07130> them;
2 That they feared <03372> greatly <03966>, because <03588>
Gibeon <01391> [was] a great <01419> city <05892>, as one <0259>
of the royal <04467> cities <05892>, and because <03588> it
[was] greater <01419> than <04480> Ai <05857>, and all <03605>
the men <0582> thereof [were] mighty <01368>.
3 Wherefore Adonizedek <0139> king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>
sent <07971> unto Hoham <01944> king <04428> of Hebron <02275>,
and unto Piram <06502> king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, and unto
Japhia <03309> king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, and unto Debir
<01688> king <04428> of Eglon <05700>, saying <0559>,
4 Come <05927> up unto me, and help <05826> me, that we may
smite <06221> Gibeon <01391>: for it hath made peace <07999>
with Joshua <03091> and with the children <01121> of Israel
<03478>.
5 Therefore the five <02568> kings <04428> of the Amorites
<0567>, the king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>, the king <04428>
of Hebron <02275>, the king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, the king
<04428> of Lachish <03923>, the king <04428> of Eglon <05700>,
gathered <0622> themselves together, and went <05927> up, they
and all <03605> their hosts <04264>, and encamped <02583> before
<05921> Gibeon <01391>, and made war <03898> against <05921> it.
6 And the men <0582> of Gibeon <01391> sent <07971> unto Joshua
<03091> to the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>, saying <0559>,
Slack <07503> not thy hand <03027> from thy servants <05650>;
come <05927> up to us quickly <04120>, and save <03467> us, and
help <05826> us: for all the kings <04428> of the Amorites
<0567> that dwell <03427> in the mountains <02022> are gathered
<06908> together against <0413> us.
7. So Joshua <03091> ascended <05927> from Gilgal <01537>, he,
and all <03605> the people <05971> of war <04421> with him, and
all <03605> the mighty <01368> men of valour <02428>.
8 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Fear
<03372> them not: for I have delivered <05414> them into thine
hand <03027>; there shall not a man <0376> of them stand <05975>
before <06440> thee.
9 Joshua <03091> therefore came <0935> unto them suddenly
<06597>, [and] went <05927> up from Gilgal <01537> all <03605>
night <03915>.
10 And the LORD <03068> discomfited <01949> them before <06440>
Israel <03478>, and slew <05221> them with a great <01419>
slaughter <04347> at Gibeon <01391>, and chased <07291> them
along the way <01870> that goeth <04609> up to Bethhoron <01032>,
and smote <05221> them to Azekah <05825>, and unto Makkedah
<04719>.
11 And it came <01961> to pass, as they fled <05127> from
before <06440> Israel <03478>, [and] were in the going <04174>
down <04174> to Bethhoron <01032>, that the LORD <03068> cast
<07993> down great <01419> stones <068> from heaven <08064> upon
them unto Azekah <05825>, and they died <04191>: [they were]
more <07227> which <0834> died <04191> with hailstones than
[they] whom <0834> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> slew
<02026> with the sword <02719>.
12 Then <0227> spake <01696> Joshua <03091> to the LORD <03068>
in the day <03117> when the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> up
the Amorites <0567> before <06440> the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>, and he said <0559> in the sight <05869> of
Israel <03478>, Sun <08121>, stand <01826> thou still <01826>
upon Gibeon <01391>; and thou, Moon <03394>, in the valley
<06010> of Ajalon <0357>.
13 And the sun <08121> stood <01826> still <01826>, and the
moon <03394> stayed <05975>, until <05704> the people <01471>
had avenged <05358> themselves upon their enemies <0341>. [Is]
not this <01931> written <03789> in the book <05612> of Jasher
<03477>? So the sun <08121> stood <05975> still in the midst
<02677> of heaven <08064>, and hasted <0213> not to go <0935>
down about a whole <08549> day <03117>.
14 And there was no <03808> day <03117> like that before
<06440> it or after <0310> it, that the LORD <03068> hearkened
<08085> unto the voice <06963> of a man <0376>: for the LORD
<03068> fought <03898> for Israel <03478>.
15. And Joshua <03091> returned <07725>, and all <03605> Israel
<03478> with him, unto the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>.
16 But these <0428> five <02568> kings <04428> fled <05127>,
and hid <02244> themselves in a cave <04631> at Makkedah <04719>.
17 And it was told <05046> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>, The
five <02568> kings <04428> are found <04672> hid <02244> in a
cave <04631> at Makkedah <04719>.
18 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Roll <01556> great <01419>
stones <068> upon the mouth <06310> of the cave <04631>, and set
<06485> men <0582> by it for to keep <08104> them:
19 And stay <05975> ye not, [but] pursue <07291> after <0310>
your enemies <0341>, and smite the hindmost <02179> of them;
suffer <05414> them not to enter <0935> into <0413> their cities
<05892>: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath delivered
<05414> them into your hand <03027>.
20 And it came <01961> to pass, when Joshua <03091> and the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> had made an end <03615> of
slaying <05221> them with a very <03966> great <01419> slaughter
<04347>, till <05704> they were consumed <08552>, that the rest
<08300> [which] remained <08277> of them entered <0935> into
<0413> fenced <04013> cities <05892>.
21 And all <03605> the people <05971> returned <07725> to the
camp <04264> to Joshua <03091> at Makkedah <04719> in peace
<07965>: none <03808> moved <02782> his tongue <03956> against
any of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
22 Then said <0559> Joshua <03091>, Open <06605> the mouth
<06310> of the cave <04631>, and bring <03318> out those <0428>
five <02568> kings <04428> unto me out of the cave <04631>.
23 And they did <06213> so <03651>, and brought <03318> forth
<03318> those <0428> five <02568> kings <04428> unto him out of
the cave <04631>, the king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>, the
king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, the king <04428> of Jarmuth
<03412>, the king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, [and] the king
<04428> of Eglon <05700>.
24 And it came <01961> to pass, when they brought <03318> out
those <0428> kings <04428> unto Joshua <03091>, that Joshua
<03091> called <07121> for all <03605> the men <0376> of Israel
<03478>, and said <0559> unto the captains <07101> of the men of
war <04421> which went <01980> with him, Come <07126> near
<07126>, put <07760> your feet <07272> upon the necks <06677> of
these <0428> kings <04428>. And they came <07126> near <07126>,
and put <07760> their feet <07272> upon the necks <06677> of
them.
25 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto them, Fear <03372> not,
nor <0408> be dismayed <02865>, be strong <02388> and of good
courage <0553>: for thus <03602> shall the LORD <03068> do
<06213> to all <03605> your enemies <0341> against whom ye fight
<03898>.
26 And afterward Joshua <03091> smote <05221> them, and slew
<04191> them, and hanged <08518> them on <05921> five <02568>
trees <06086>: and they were hanging <08518> upon the trees
<06086> until <05704> the evening <06153>.
27 And it came <01961> to pass at the time <06256> of the going
<0935> down of the sun <08121>, [that] Joshua <03091> commanded
<06680>, and they took <03381> them down <03381> off <05921> the
trees <06086>, and cast <07993> them into <0413> the cave
<04631> wherein they had been hid <02244>, and laid <07760>
great <01419> stones <068> in the cave's <04631> mouth <06310>,
[which remain] until <05704> this <02088> very <06106> day
<03117>.
28. And that day <03117> Joshua <03091> took <03920> Makkedah
<04719>, and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword
<02719>, and the king <04428> thereof he utterly destroyed
<02763>, them, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were]
therein; he let none <03808> remain <08300>: and he did <06213>
to the king <04428> of Makkedah <04719> as he did <06213> unto
the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>.
29 Then Joshua <03091> passed <05674> from Makkedah <04719>,
and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto Libnah <03841>,
and fought <03898> against <05973> Libnah <03841>:
30 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> it also <01571>, and
the king <04428> thereof, into the hand <03027> of Israel
<03478>; and he smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the
sword <02719>, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were]
therein; he let none <03808> remain <08300> in it; but did
<06213> unto the king <04428> thereof as he did <06213> unto the
king <04428> of Jericho <03405>.
31 And Joshua <03091> passed <05674> from Libnah <03841>, and
all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto Lachish <03923>, and
encamped <02583> against <05921> it, and fought <03898> against
<05921> it:
32 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> Lachish <03923> into
the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>, which took <03920> it on the
second <08145> day <03117>, and smote <05221> it with the edge
<06310> of the sword <02719>, and all <03605> the souls <05315>
that [were] therein, according to all <03605> that he had done
<06213> to Libnah <03841>.
33 Then <0227> Horam <02036> king <04428> of Gezer <01507> came
<05927> up to help <05826> Lachish <03923>; and Joshua <03091>
smote <05221> him and his people <05971>, until <05704> he had
left <07604> him none <01115> remaining <08300>.
34 And from Lachish <03923> Joshua <03091> passed <05674> unto
Eglon <05700>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him; and they
encamped <02583> against <05921> it, and fought <03898> against
<05921> it:
35 And they took <03920> it on that day <03117>, and smote
<05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all
<03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein he utterly
destroyed <02763> that day <03117>, according to all <03605>
that he had done <06213> to Lachish <03923>.
36 And Joshua <03091> went <05927> up from Eglon <05700>, and
all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto Hebron <02275>; and
they fought <03898> against <05921> it:
37 And they took <03920> it, and smote <05221> it with the edge
<06310> of the sword <02719>, and the king <04428> thereof, and
all <03605> the cities <05892> thereof, and all <03605> the
souls <05315> that [were] therein; he left <07604> none <03808>
remaining <08300>, according to all <03605> that he had done
<06213> to Eglon <05700>; but destroyed <02763> it utterly, and
all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein.
38 And Joshua <03091> returned <07725>, and all <03605> Israel
<03478> with him, to Debir <01688>; and fought <03898> against
<05921> it:
39 And he took <03920> it, and the king <04428> thereof, and
all <03605> the cities <05892> thereof; and they smote <05221>
them with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and utterly
destroyed <02763> all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were]
therein; he left <07604> none <03808> remaining <08300>: as he
had done <06213> to Hebron <02275>, so <03651> he did <06213> to
Debir <01688>, and to the king <04428> thereof; as he had done
<06213> also to Libnah <03841>, and to her king <04428>.
40 So Joshua <03091> smote <05221> all <03605> the country
<0776> of the hills <02022>, and of the south <05045>, and of
the vale <08219>, and of the springs <0794>, and all <03605>
their kings <04428>: he left <07604> none <03808> remaining
<08300>, but utterly destroyed <02763> all <03605> that breathed
<05397>, as the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>
commanded <06680>.
41 And Joshua <03091> smote <05221> them from Kadeshbarnea
<06947> even unto Gaza <05804>, and all <03605> the country
<0776> of Goshen <01657>, even unto Gibeon <01391>.
42 And all <03605> these <0428> kings <04428> and their land
<0776> did Joshua <03091> take <03920> at one <0259> time
<06471>, because <03588> the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel
<03478> fought <03898> for Israel <03478>.
43 And Joshua <03091> returned <07725>, and all <03605> Israel
<03478> with him, unto the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>.
Joshua 11
1. And it came <01961> to pass, when Jabin <02985> king <04428>
of Hazor <02674> had heard <08085> [those things], that he sent
<07971> to Jobab <03103> king <04428> of Madon <04068>, and to
the king <04428> of Shimron <08110>, and to the king <04428> of
Achshaph <0407>,
2 And to the kings <04428> that [were] on the north <06828> of
the mountains <02022>, and of the plains <06160> south <05045>
of Chinneroth <03672>, and in the valley <08219>, and in the
borders <05299> of Dor <01756> on the west <03220>,
3 [And to] the Canaanite <03669> on the east <04217> and on the
west <03220>, and [to] the Amorite <0567>, and the Hittite
<02850>, and the Perizzite <06522>, and the Jebusite <02983> in
the mountains <02022>, and [to] the Hivite <02340> under <08478>
Hermon <02768> in the land <0776> of Mizpeh <04709>.
4 And they went <03318> out, they and all <03605> their hosts
<04264> with them, much <07227> people <05971>, even as the sand
<02344> that [is] upon the sea <03220> shore <08193> in
multitude <07230>, with horses <05483> and chariots <07393> very
<03966> many <07227>.
5 And when all <03605> these <0428> kings <04428> were met
<03259> together <03162>, they came <0935> and pitched <02583>
together <03162> at <0413> the waters <04325> of Merom <04792>,
to fight <03898> against <05973> Israel <03478>.
6 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Be not
afraid <03372> because <06440> of them: for to morrow <04279>
about this <02063> time <06256> will I deliver <05414> them up
all <03605> slain <02491> before <06440> Israel <03478>: thou
shalt hough <06131> their horses <05483>, and burn <08313> their
chariots <04818> with fire <0784>.
7 So Joshua <03091> came <0935>, and all <03605> the people
<05971> of war <04421> with him, against <05921> them by the
waters <04325> of Merom <04792> suddenly <06597>; and they fell
<05307> upon them.
8 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> them into the hand
<03027> of Israel <03478>, who smote <05221> them, and chased
<07291> them unto great <07227> Zidon <06721>, and unto
Misrephothmaim <04956>, and unto the valley <01237> of Mizpeh
<04708> eastward <04217>; and they smote <05221> them, until
<05704> they left <07604> them none <01115> remaining <08300>.
9 And Joshua <03091> did <06213> unto them as the LORD <03068>
bade <0559> him: he houghed <06131> their horses <05483>, and
burnt <08313> their chariots <04818> with fire <0784>.
10. And Joshua <03091> at that time <06256> turned <07725> back
<07725>, and took <03920> Hazor <02674>, and smote <05221> the
king <04428> thereof with the sword <02719>: for Hazor <02674>
beforetime <06440> was the head <07218> of all <03605> those
<0428> kingdoms <04467>.
11 And they smote <05221> all <03605> the souls <05315> that
[were] therein with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>,
utterly destroying <02763> [them]: there was not any <03605>
left <03498> to breathe <05397>: and he burnt <08313> Hazor
<02674> with fire <0784>.
12 And all <03605> the cities <05892> of those <0428> kings
<04428>, and all <03605> the kings <04428> of them, did Joshua
<03091> take <03920>, and smote <05221> them with the edge
<06310> of the sword <02719>, [and] he utterly destroyed <02763>
them, as Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>
commanded <06680>.
13 But [as for] the cities <05892> that stood <05975> still in
their strength <08510>, Israel <03478> burned <08313> none
<03808> of them, save <02108> Hazor <02674> only <0905>; [that]
did Joshua <03091> burn <08313>.
14 And all <03605> the spoil <07998> of these <0428> cities
<05892>, and the cattle <0929>, the children <01121> of Israel
<03478> took for a prey <0962> unto themselves <01992>; but
every <03605> man <0120> they smote <05221> with the edge
<06310> of the sword <02719>, until <05704> they had destroyed
<08045> them, neither <03808> left <07604> they any <03605> to
breathe <05397>.
15. As the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872> his
servant <05650>, so <03651> did <06213> Moses <04872> command
<06680> Joshua <03091>, and so <03651> did <06213> Joshua
<03091>; he left <05493> nothing undone <05493> of all <03605>
that the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872>.
16 So Joshua <03091> took <03947> all <03605> that land <0776>,
the hills <02022>, and all <03605> the south <05045> country,
and all <03605> the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>, and the
valley <08219>, and the plain <06160>, and the mountain <02022>
of Israel <03478>, and the valley <08219> of the same;
17 [Even] from the mount <02022> Halak <02510>, that goeth
<05927> up to Seir <08165>, even unto Baalgad <01171> in the
valley <01237> of Lebanon <03844> under <08478> mount <02022>
Hermon <02768>: and all <03605> their kings <04428> he took
<03920>, and smote <05221> them, and slew <04191> them.
18 Joshua <03091> made <06213> war <04421> a long <07227> time
<03117> with all <03605> those <0428> kings <04428>.
19 There was not a city <05892> that made peace <07999> with
the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, save <01115> the Hivites
<02340> the inhabitants <03427> of Gibeon <01391>: all <03605>
[other] they took <03947> in battle <04421>.
20 For it was of the LORD <03068> to harden <02388> their
hearts <03820>, that they should come <07122> against <07125>
Israel <03478> in battle <04421>, that he might destroy <02763>
them utterly, [and] that they might have <01961> no <01115>
favour <08467>, but that he might destroy <08045> them, as the
LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872>.
21 And at that time <06256> came <0935> Joshua <03091>, and cut
<03772> off the Anakims <06062> from the mountains <02022>, from
Hebron <02275>, from Debir <01688>, from Anab <06024>, and from
all <03605> the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and from all
<03605> the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>: Joshua <03091>
destroyed <02763> them utterly with their cities <05892>.
22 There was none <03808> of the Anakims <06062> left <03498>
in the land <0776> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>:
only <07535> in Gaza <05804>, in Gath <01661>, and in Ashdod
<0795>, there remained <07604>.
23 So Joshua <03091> took <03947> the whole land <0776>,
according to all <03605> that the LORD <03068> said <01696> unto
Moses <04872>; and Joshua <03091> gave <05414> it for an
inheritance <05159> unto Israel <03478> according to their
divisions <04256> by their tribes <07626>. And the land <0776>
rested <08252> from war <04421>.
Joshua 12
1. Now these <0428> [are] the kings <04428> of the land <0776>,
which <0834> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> smote
<05221>, and possessed <03423> their land <0776> on the other
<05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383> toward the rising <04217> of
the sun <08121>, from the river <05158> Arnon <0769> unto mount
<02022> Hermon, and all <03605> the plain <06160> on the east
<04217>:
2 Sihon <05511> king <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, who dwelt
<03427> in Heshbon <02809>, [and] ruled <04910> from Aroer
<06177>, which <0834> [is] upon the bank <08193> of the river
<05158> Arnon <0769>, and from the middle <08432> of the river
<05158>, and from half <02677> Gilead <01568>, even unto the
river <05158> Jabbok <02999>, [which is] the border <01366> of
the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>;
3 And from the plain <06160> to the sea <03220> of Chinneroth
<03672> on the east <04217>, and unto the sea <03220> of the
plain <06160>, [even] the salt <04417> sea <03220> on the east
<04217>, the way <01870> to Bethjeshimoth <01020>; and from the
south <08486>, under <08478> Ashdothpisgah:
4 And the coast <01366> of Og <05747> king <04428> of Bashan
<01316>, [which was] of the remnant <03499> of the giants
<07497>, that dwelt <03427> at Ashtaroth <06252> and at Edrei
<0154>,
5 And reigned <04910> in mount <02022> Hermon <02768>, and in
Salcah <05548>, and in all <03605> Bashan <01316>, unto the
border <01366> of the Geshurites <01651> and the Maachathites
<04602>, and half <02677> Gilead <01568>, the border <01366> of
Sihon <05511> king <04428> of Heshbon <02809>.
6 Them did Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD
<03068> and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> smite <05221>:
and Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> gave
<05414> it [for] a possession <03425> unto the Reubenites
<07206>, and the Gadites <01425>, and the half <02677> tribe
<07626> of Manasseh <04519>.
7. And these <0428> [are] the kings <04428> of the country
<0776> which <0834> Joshua <03091> and the children <01121> of
Israel <03478> smote <05221> on this side <05676> Jordan <03383>
on the west <03220>, from Baalgad <01171> in the valley <01237>
of Lebanon <03844> even unto the mount <02022> Halak <02510>,
that goeth <05927> up to Seir <08165>; which Joshua <03091> gave

Joshua 13
1. Now Joshua <03091> was old <02204> [and] stricken <0935> in
years <08141>; and the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto him, Thou
art old <02204> [and] stricken <0935> in years <08141>, and
there remaineth <07604> yet very <03966> much <07235> land
<0776> to be possessed <03423>.
2 This <02063> [is] the land <0776> that yet remaineth <07604>:
all <03605> the borders <01552> of the Philistines <06430>, and
all <03605> Geshuri <01651>,
3 From Sihor <07883>, which <0834> [is] before Egypt <04714>,
even unto the borders <01366> of Ekron <06138> northward <06828>,
[which] is counted <02803> to the Canaanite <03669>: five
<02568> lords <05633> of the Philistines <06430>; the Gazathites
<05841>, and the Ashdothites <0796>, the Eshkalonites <0832>,
the Gittites <01663>, and the Ekronites <06139>; also the Avites
<05757>:
4 From the south <08486>, all <03605> the land <0776> of the
Canaanites <03669>, and Mearah <04632> that [is] beside the
Sidonians <06722>, unto Aphek <0663>, to the borders <01366> of
the Amorites <0567>:
5 And the land <0776> of the Giblites <01382>, and all <03605>
Lebanon <03844>, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad <01171>
under <08478> mount <02022> Hermon <02768> unto the entering
<0935> into Hamath <02574>.
6 All <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the hill <02022>
country from Lebanon <03844> unto Misrephothmaim <04956>, [and]
all <03605> the Sidonians <06722>, them will I drive <03423> out
from before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: only
<07535> divide <05307> thou it by lot unto the Israelites
<03478> for an inheritance <05159>, as I have commanded <06680>
thee.
7. Now <06258> therefore divide <02505> this <02063> land
<0776> for an inheritance <05159> unto the nine <08672> tribes
<07626>, and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>,
8 With whom <05973> the Reubenites <07206> and the Gadites
<01425> have received <03947> their inheritance <05159>, which
<0834> Moses <04872> gave <05414> them, beyond <05676> Jordan
<03383> eastward <04217>, [even] as Moses <04872> the servant
<05650> of the LORD <03068> gave <05414> them;
9 From Aroer <06177>, that [is] upon the bank <08193> of the
river <05158> Arnon <0769>, and the city <05892> that [is] in
the midst <08432> of the river <05158>, and all <03605> the
plain <04334> of Medeba <04311> unto Dibon <01769>;
10 And all <03605> the cities <05892> of Sihon <05511> king
<04428> of the Amorites <0567>, which <0834> reigned <04427> in
Heshbon <02809>, unto the border <01366> of the children <01121>
of Ammon <05983>;
11 And Gilead <01568>, and the border <01366> of the Geshurites
<01651> and Maachathites <04602>, and all <03605> mount <02022>
Hermon <02768>, and all <03605> Bashan <01316> unto Salcah
<05548>;
12 All <03605> the kingdom <04468> of Og <05747> in Bashan
<01316>, which <0834> reigned <04427> in Ashtaroth <06252> and
in Edrei <0154>, who <01931> remained <07604> of the remnant
<03499> of the giants <07497>: for these did Moses <04872> smite
<05221>, and cast <03423> them out.
13 Nevertheless the children <01121> of Israel <03478> expelled
<03423> not the Geshurites <01651>, nor <0408> the Maachathites
<04602>: but the Geshurites <01651> and the Maachathites <04602>
dwell <03427> among <07130> the Israelites <03478> until <05704>
this <02088> day <03117>.
14 Only <07535> unto the tribe <07626> of Levi <03878> he gave
<05414> none <03808> inheritance <05159>; the sacrifices of the
LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> made by fire [are]
their inheritance <05159>, as he said <01696> unto them.
15 And Moses <04872> gave <05414> unto the tribe <04294> of the
children <01121> of Reuben <07205> [inheritance] according to
their families <04940>.
16 And their coast <01366> was from Aroer <06177>, that [is] on
<05921> the bank <08193> of the river <05158> Arnon <0769>, and
the city <05892> that [is] in the midst <08432> of the river
<05158>, and all <03605> the plain <04334> by Medeba <04311>;
17 Heshbon <02809>, and all <03605> her cities <05892> that
[are] in the plain <04334>; Dibon <01769>, and Bamothbaal
<01120>, and Bethbaalmeon <01010>,
18 And Jahazah <03096>, and Kedemoth <06932>, and Mephaath
<04158>,
19 And Kirjathaim <07156>, and Sibmah <07643>, and Zarethshahar
in the mount <02022> of the valley <06010>,
20 And Bethpeor <01047>, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth
<01020>,
21 And all <03605> the cities <05892> of the plain <04334>, and
all <03605> the kingdom <04468> of Sihon <05511> king <04428> of
the Amorites <0567>, which <0834> reigned <04427> in Heshbon
<02809>, whom <0834> Moses <04872> smote <05221> with the
princes <05387> of Midian <04080>, Evi <0189>, and Rekem <07552>,
and Zur <06698>, and Hur <02354>, and Reba <07254>, [which
were] dukes <05257> of Sihon <05511>, dwelling <03427> in the
country <0776>.
22 Balaam <01109> also the son <01121> of Beor <01160>, the
soothsayer <07080>, did the children <01121> of Israel <03478>
slay <02026> with the sword <02719> among <0413> them that were
slain <02491> by them.
23 And the border <01366> of the children <01121> of Reuben
<07205> was Jordan <03383>, and the border <01366> [thereof].
This <02063> [was] the inheritance <05159> of the children
<01121> of Reuben <07205> after their families <04940>, the
cities <05892> and the villages <02691> thereof.
24 And Moses <04872> gave <05414> [inheritance] unto the tribe
<04294> of Gad <01410>, [even] unto the children <01121> of Gad
<01410> according to their families <04940>.
25 And their coast <01366> was Jazer <03270>, and all <03605>
the cities <05892> of Gilead <01568>, and half <02677> the land
<0776> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>, unto Aroer
<06177> that [is] before Rabbah <07237>;
26 And from Heshbon <02809> unto Ramathmizpeh <07434>, and
Betonim <0993>; and from Mahanaim <04266> unto the border
<01366> of Debir <01688>;
27 And in the valley <06010>, Betharam <01027>, and Bethnimrah
<01039>, and Succoth <05523>, and Zaphon, the rest <03499> of
the kingdom <04468> of Sihon <05511> king <04428> of Heshbon
<02809>, Jordan <03383> and [his] border <01366>, [even] unto
the edge <07097> of the sea <03220> of Chinnereth <03672> on the
other <05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383> eastward <04217>.
28 This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the children
<01121> of Gad <01410> after their families <04940>, the cities
<05892>, and their villages <02691>.
29 And Moses <04872> gave <05414> [inheritance] unto the half
<02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>: and [this] was [the
possession] of the half <02677> tribe <04294> of the children
<01121> of Manasseh <04519> by their families <04940>.
30 And their coast <01366> was from Mahanaim <04266>, all
<03605> Bashan <01316>, all <03605> the kingdom <04468> of Og
<05747> king <04428> of Bashan <01316>, and all <03605> the
towns <02333> of Jair <02971>, which <0834> [are] in Bashan
<01316>, threescore <08346> cities <05892>:
31 And half <02677> Gilead <01568>, and Ashtaroth <06252>, and
Edrei <0154>, cities <05892> of the kingdom <04468> of Og
<05747> in Bashan <01316>, [were pertaining] unto the children
<01121> of Machir <04353> the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>,
[even] to the one half <02677> of the children <01121> of Machir
<04353> by their families <04940>.
32 These <0428> [are the countries] which <0834> Moses <04872>
did distribute <05157> for inheritance <05157> in the plains
<06160> of Moab <04124>, on the other <05676> side <05676>
Jordan <03383>, by Jericho <03405>, eastward <04217>.
33 But unto the tribe <07626> of Levi <03878> Moses <04872>
gave <05414> not [any <03605>] inheritance <05159>: the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> [was] their inheritance
<05159>, as he said <01696> unto them.
Joshua 14
1. And these <0428> [are the countries] which <0834> the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> inherited <05157> in the land
<0776> of Canaan <03667>, which Eleazar <0499> the priest
<03548>, and Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>, and
the heads <07218> of the fathers <01> of the tribes <04294> of
the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, distributed <05157> for
inheritance <05157> to them.
2 By lot <01486> [was] their inheritance <05159>, as the LORD
<03068> commanded <06680> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>,
for the nine <08672> tribes <04294>, and [for] the half <02677>
tribe <04294>.
3 For Moses <04872> had given <05414> the inheritance <05159>
of two <08147> tribes <04294> and an half <02677> tribe <04294>
on the other <05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383>: but unto the
Levites <03881> he gave <05414> none <03808> inheritance <05159>
among <08432> them.
4 For the children <01121> of Joseph <03130> were two <08147>
tribes <04294>, Manasseh <04519> and Ephraim <0669>: therefore
they gave <05414> no <03808> part <02506> unto the Levites
<03881> in the land <0776>, save cities <05892> to dwell <03427>
[in], with their suburbs <04054> for their cattle <04735> and
for their substance <07075>.
5 As the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872>, so
<03651> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213>, and
they divided <02505> the land <0776>.
6. Then the children <01121> of Judah <03063> came <05066> unto
Joshua <03091> in Gilgal <01537>: and Caleb <03612> the son
<01121> of Jephunneh <03312> the Kenezite <07074> said <0559>
unto him, Thou knowest <03045> the thing <01697> that the LORD
<03068> said <01696> unto Moses <04872> the man <0376> of God
<0430> concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea <06947>.
7 Forty <0705> years <08141> old <01121> [was] I when Moses
<04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> sent <07971> me
from Kadeshbarnea <06947> to espy <07270> out the land <0776>;
and I brought <07725> him word <01697> again <07725> as [it was]
in mine heart <03824>.
8 Nevertheless my brethren <0251> that went <05927> up with me
made the heart <03820> of the people <05971> melt <04529>: but I
wholly <04390> followed <0310> the LORD <03068> my God <0430>.
9 And Moses <04872> sware <07650> on that day <03117>, saying
<0559>, Surely <0518> the land <0776> whereon <0834> thy feet
<07272> have trodden <01869> shall be thine inheritance <05159>,
and thy children's <01121> for ever <05769>, because <03588>
thou hast wholly <04390> followed <0310> the LORD <03068> my God
<0430>.
10 And now <06258>, behold <02009>, the LORD <03068> hath kept
me alive <02421>, as he said <01696>, these <02088> forty <0705>
and five <02568> years <08141>, even since <0227> the LORD
<03068> spake <01696> this <02088> word <01697> unto Moses
<04872>, while <0834> [the children of] Israel <03478> wandered
<01980> in the wilderness <04057>: and now <06258>, lo <02009>,
I [am] this day <03117> fourscore <08084> and five <02568> years
<08141> old <01121>.
11 As yet <05750> I [am as] strong <02389> this day <03117> as
[I was] in the day <03117> that Moses <04872> sent <07971> me:
as my strength <03581> [was] then <0227>, even so [is] my
strength <03581> now <06258>, for war <04421>, both to go
<03318> out, and to come <0935> in.
12 Now <06258> therefore give <05414> me this <02088> mountain
<02022>, whereof <0834> the LORD <03068> spake <01696> in that
day <03117>; for thou heardest <08085> in that day <03117> how
<03588> the Anakims <06062> [were] there <08033>, and [that] the
cities <05892> [were] great <01419> [and] fenced <01219>: if
<0194> so be the LORD <03068> [will be] with me, then I shall be
able to drive <03423> them out, as the LORD <03068> said <01696>.
13 And Joshua <03091> blessed <01288> him, and gave <05414>
unto Caleb <03612> the son <01121> of Jephunneh <03312> Hebron
<02275> for an inheritance <05159>.
14 Hebron <02275> therefore became <01961> the inheritance
<05159> of Caleb <03612> the son <01121> of Jephunneh <03312>
the Kenezite <07074> unto this <02088> day <03117>, because
<03282> that he wholly <04390> followed <0310> the LORD <03068>
God <0430> of Israel <03478>.
15 And the name <08034> of Hebron <02275> before <06440> [was]
Kirjatharba <07153>; [which Arba was] a great <01419> man <0120>
among the Anakims <06062>. And the land <0776> had rest <08252>
from war <04421>.
Joshua 15
1. [This] then was the lot <01486> of the tribe <04294> of the
children <01121> of Judah <03063> by their families <04940>;
[even] to the border <01366> of Edom <0123> the wilderness
<04057> of Zin <06790> southward <08486> [was] the uttermost
<07097> part of the south <05045> coast <01366>.
2 And their south <05045> border <01366> was from the shore
<07097> of the salt <04417> sea <03220>, from the bay <03956>
that looketh <06437> southward <05045>:
3 And it went <03318> out to the south <05045> side to
Maalehacrabbim <04610>, and passed <05674> along to Zin <06790>,
and ascended <05927> up on the south <05045> side unto
Kadeshbarnea <06947>, and passed <05674> along to Hezron <02696>,
and went <05927> up to Adar <0146>, and fetched a compass
<05437> to Karkaa <07173>:
4 [From thence] it passed <05674> toward Azmon <06111>, and
went <03318> out unto the river <05158> of Egypt <04714>; and
the goings <08444> out of that coast <01366> were at the sea
<03220>: this <02088> shall be your south <05045> coast <01366>.
5 And the east <06924> border <01366> [was] the salt <04417>
sea <03220>, [even] unto the end <07097> of Jordan <03383>. And
[their] border <01366> in the north <06828> quarter <06285>
[was] from the bay <03956> of the sea <03220> at <05704> the
uttermost <07097> part of Jordan <03383>:
6 And the border <01366> went <05927> up to Bethhogla <01031>,
and passed <05674> along by the north <06828> of Betharabah
<01026>; and the border <01366> went <05927> up to the stone
<068> of Bohan <0932> the son <01121> of Reuben <07205>:
7 And the border <01366> went <05927> up toward Debir <01688>
from the valley <06010> of Achor <05911>, and so northward
<06828>, looking <06437> toward <0413> Gilgal <01537>, that [is]
before <05227> the going <04608> up to Adummim <0131>, which
<0834> [is] on the south <05045> side of the river <05158>: and
the border <01366> passed <05674> toward <0413> the waters
<04325> of Enshemesh <05885>, and the goings <08444> out thereof
were at <0413> Enrogel <05883>:
8 And the border <01366> went <05927> up by the valley <01516>
of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011> unto the south <05045> side
<03802> of the Jebusite <02983>; the same <01931> [is] Jerusalem
<03389>: and the border <01366> went <05927> up to the top
<07218> of the mountain <02022> that [lieth] before the valley
<01516> of Hinnom <02011> westward <03220>, which <0834> [is] at
the end <07097> of the valley <06010> of the giants <07497>
northward <06828>:
9 And the border <01366> was drawn <08388> from the top <07218>
of the hill <02022> unto the fountain <04599> of the water
<04325> of Nephtoah <05318>, and went <03318> out to the cities
<05892> of mount <02022> Ephron <06085>; and the border <01366>
was drawn <08388> to Baalah <01173>, which <01958> [is]
Kirjathjearim <07157>:
10 And the border <01366> compassed <05437> from Baalah <01173>
westward <03220> unto mount <02022> Seir <08165>, and passed
<05674> along unto the side <03802> of mount <02022> Jearim
<03297>, which <0834> [is] Chesalon <03693>, on the north
<06828> side, and went <03381> down <03381> to Bethshemesh
<01053>, and passed <05674> on to Timnah <08553>:
11 And the border <01366> went <03318> out unto the side
<03802> of Ekron <06138> northward <06828>: and the border
<01366> was drawn <08388> to Shicron <07942>, and passed <05674>
along to mount <02022> Baalah <01173>, and went <03318> out unto
Jabneel <02995>; and the goings <08444> out of the border
<01366> were at the sea <03220>.
12 And the west <03220> border <01366> [was] to the great
<01419> sea <03220>, and the coast <01366> [thereof]. This
<02088> [is] the coast <01366> of the children <01121> of Judah
<03063> round <05439> about according to their families <04940>.
13. And unto Caleb <03612> the son <01121> of Jephunneh <03312>
he gave <05414> a part <02506> among <08432> the children
<01121> of Judah <03063>, according <0413> to the commandment
<06310> of the LORD <03068> to Joshua <03091>, [even] the city
<07151> of Arba <0704> the father <01> of Anak <06061>, which
<01958> [city is] Hebron <02275>.
14 And Caleb <03612> drove <03423> thence <08033> the three
<07969> sons <01121> of Anak <06061>, Sheshai <08344>, and
Ahiman <0289>, and Talmai <08526>, the children <03211> of Anak
<06061>.
15 And he went <05927> up thence <08033> to the inhabitants
<03427> of Debir <01688>: and the name <08034> of Debir <01688>
before <06440> [was] Kirjathsepher <07158>.
16 And Caleb <03612> said <0559>, He that smiteth <05221>
Kirjathsepher <07158>, and taketh <03920> it, to him will I give
<05414> Achsah <05915> my daughter <01323> to wife <0802>.
17 And Othniel <06274> the son <01121> of Kenaz <07073>, the
brother <0251> of Caleb <03612>, took <03920> it: and he gave
<05414> him Achsah <05915> his daughter <01323> to wife <0802>.
18 And it came <01961> to pass, as she came <0935> [unto him],
that she moved <05496> him to ask <07592> of her father <01> a
field <07704>: and she lighted <06795> off <05921> [her] ass
<02543>; and Caleb <03612> said <0559> unto her, What <04100>
wouldest thou?
19 Who answered <0559>, Give <05414> me a blessing <01293>; for
thou hast given <05414> me a south <05045> land <0776>; give
<05414> me also springs <01543> of water <04325>. And he gave
<05414> her the upper <05942> springs <01543>, and the nether
<08482> springs <01543>.
20. This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the tribe
<04294> of the children <01121> of Judah <03063> according to
their families <04940>.
21 And the uttermost <07097> cities <05892> of the tribe
<04294> of the children <01121> of Judah <03063> toward <0413>

Jerusalem <03389> unto this <02088> day <03117>.
Joshua 16
1. And the lot <01486> of the children <01121> of Joseph
<03130> fell <03318> from Jordan <03383> by Jericho <03405>,
unto the water <04325> of Jericho <03405> on the east <04217>,
to the wilderness <04057> that goeth <05927> up from Jericho
<03405> throughout mount <02022> Bethel <01008>,
2 And goeth <03318> out from Bethel <01008> to Luz <03870>, and
passeth <05674> along unto the borders <01366> of Archi <0757>
to Ataroth <05852>,
3 And goeth <03381> down <03381> westward <03220> to the coast
<01366> of Japhleti <03311>, unto the coast <01366> of Bethhoron
<01032> the nether <08481>, and to Gezer <01507>: and the goings
<08444> out thereof are at the sea <03220>.
4 So the children <01121> of Joseph <03130>, Manasseh <04519>
and Ephraim <0669>, took their inheritance <05157>.
5. And the border <01366> of the children <01121> of Ephraim
<0669> according to their families <04940> was [thus]: even the
border <01366> of their inheritance <05159> on the east <04217>
side was Atarothaddar <05853>, unto Bethhoron <01032> the upper
<05945>;
6 And the border <01366> went <03318> out toward the sea
<03220> to Michmethah <04366> on the north <06828> side; and the
border <01366> went <05437> about <05437> eastward <04217> unto
Taanathshiloh <08387>, and passed <05674> by it on the east
<04217> to Janohah <03239>;
7 And it went <03381> down <03381> from Janohah <03239> to
Ataroth <05852>, and to Naarath <05292>, and came <06293> to
Jericho <03405>, and went <03318> out at Jordan <03383>.
8 The border <01366> went <03212> out from Tappuah <08599>
westward <03220> unto the river <05158> Kanah <07071>; and the
goings <08444> out thereof were at the sea <03220>. This <02063>
[is] the inheritance <05159> of the tribe <04294> of the
children <01121> of Ephraim <0669> by their families <04940>.
9 And the separate <03995> cities <05892> for the children
<01121> of Ephraim <0669> [were] among <08432> the inheritance
<05159> of the children <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, all <03605>
the cities <05892> with their villages <02691>.
10 And they drave <03423> not out the Canaanites <03669> that
dwelt <03427> in Gezer <01507>: but the Canaanites <03669> dwell
<03427> among <07130> the Ephraimites <0669> unto this <02088>
day <03117>, and serve <05647> under tribute <04522>.
Joshua 17
1. There was also a lot <01486> for the tribe <04294> of
Manasseh <04519>; for he [was] the firstborn <01060> of Joseph
<03130>; [to wit], for Machir <04353> the firstborn <01060> of
Manasseh <04519>, the father <01> of Gilead <01568>: because
<03588> he was a man <0376> of war <04421>, therefore he had
<01961> Gilead <01568> and Bashan <01316>.
2 There was also [a lot] for the rest <03498> of the children
<01121> of Manasseh <04519> by their families <04940>; for the
children <01121> of Abiezer <044>, and for the children <01121>
of Helek <02507>, and for the children <01121> of Asriel <0844>,
and for the children <01121> of Shechem <07928>, and for the
children <01121> of Hepher <02660>, and for the children <01121>
of Shemida <08061>: these <0428> [were] the male <02145>
children <01121> of Manasseh <04519> the son <01121> of Joseph
<03130> by their families <04940>.
3 But Zelophehad <06765>, the son <01121> of Hepher <02660>,
the son <01121> of Gilead <01568>, the son <01121> of Machir
<04353>, the son <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, had <01961> no
<03808> sons <01121>, but daughters <01121>: and these <0428>
[are] the names <08034> of his daughters <01121>, Mahlah <04244>,
and Noah <05146>, Hoglah <02295>, Milcah <04435>, and Tirzah
<08656>.
4 And they came <07126> near <07126> before <06440> Eleazar
<0499> the priest <03548>, and before <06440> Joshua <03091> the
son <01121> of Nun <05126>, and before <06440> the princes
<05387>, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses
<04872> to give <05414> us an inheritance <05159> among <08432>
our brethren <0251>. Therefore according <0413> to the
commandment <06310> of the LORD <03068> he gave <05414> them an
inheritance <05159> among <08432> the brethren <0251> of their
father <01>.
5 And there fell <05307> ten <06235> portions <02256> to
Manasseh <04519>, beside <0905> the land <0776> of Gilead
<01568> and Bashan <01316>, which <0834> [were] on the other
<05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383>;
6 Because <03588> the daughters <01121> of Manasseh <04519> had
an inheritance <05157> among <08432> his sons <01121>: and the
rest <03498> of Manasseh's <04519> sons <01121> had <01961> the
land <0776> of Gilead <01568>.
7. And the coast <01366> of Manasseh <04519> was from Asher
<0836> to Michmethah <04366>, that [lieth] before Shechem
<07927>; and the border <01366> went <01980> along on <0413> the
right <03225> hand <03225> unto the inhabitants <03427> of
Entappuah <05887>.
8 [Now] Manasseh <04519> had <01961> the land <0776> of Tappuah
<08599>: but Tappuah <08599> on <0413> the border <01366> of
Manasseh <04519> [belonged] to the children <01121> of Ephraim
<0669>;
9 And the coast <01366> descended <03381> unto the river
<05158> Kanah <07071>, southward <05045> of the river <05158>:
these <0428> cities <05892> of Ephraim <0669> [are] among
<08432> the cities <05892> of Manasseh <04519>: the coast
<01366> of Manasseh <04519> also [was] on the north <06828> side
of the river <05158>, and the outgoings <08444> of it were at
the sea <03220>:
10 Southward <05045> [it was] Ephraim's <0669>, and northward
<06828> [it was] Manasseh's <04519>, and the sea <03220> is his
border <01366>; and they met <06293> together in Asher <0836> on
the north <06828>, and in Issachar <03485> on the east <04217>.
11 And Manasseh <04519> had <01961> in Issachar <03485> and in
Asher <0836> Bethshean <01052> and her towns <01323>, and Ibleam
<02991> and her towns <01323>, and the inhabitants <03427> of
Dor <01756> and her towns <01323>, and the inhabitants <03427>
of Endor <05874> and her towns <01323>, and the inhabitants
<03427> of Taanach <08590> and her towns <01323>, and the
inhabitants <03427> of Megiddo <04023> and her towns <01323>,
[even] three <07969> countries <05316>.
12 Yet the children <01121> of Manasseh <04519> could <03201>
not drive <03423> out [the inhabitants of] those <0428> cities
<05892>; but the Canaanites <03669> would <02974> dwell <03427>
in that land <0776>.
13 Yet it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> the children
<01121> of Israel <03478> were waxen strong <02388>, that they
put <05414> the Canaanites <03669> to tribute <04522>; but did
not utterly drive <03423> them out.
14. And the children <01121> of Joseph <03130> spake <01696>
unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>, Why <04069> hast thou given
<05414> me [but] one <0259> lot <01486> and one <0259> portion
<02256> to inherit <05159>, seeing I [am] a great <07227> people
<05971>, forasmuch <05704> as the LORD <03068> hath blessed
<01288> me hitherto?
15 And Joshua <03091> answered <0559> them, If <0518> thou [be]
a great <07227> people <05971>, [then] get <05927> thee up to
the wood <03293> [country], and cut <01254> down for thyself
there <08033> in the land <0776> of the Perizzites <06522> and
of the giants <07497>, if <03588> mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>
be too narrow <0213> for thee.
16 And the children <01121> of Joseph <03130> said <0559>, The
hill <02022> is not enough <04672> for us: and all <03605> the
Canaanites <03669> that dwell <03427> in the land <0776> of the
valley <06010> have chariots <07393> of iron <01270>, [both
they] who <0834> [are] of Bethshean <01052> and her towns
<01323>, and [they] who <0834> [are] of the valley <06010> of
Jezreel <03157>.
17 And Joshua <03091> spake <0559> unto the house <01004> of
Joseph <03130>, [even] to Ephraim <0669> and to Manasseh <04519>,
saying <0559>, Thou [art] a great <07227> people <05971>, and
hast great <01419> power <03581>: thou shalt not have <01961>
one <0259> lot <01486> [only]:
18 But the mountain <02022> shall be thine; for it [is] a wood
<03293>, and thou shalt cut <01254> it down: and the outgoings
<08444> of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive <03423> out
the Canaanites <03669>, though <03588> they have iron <01270>
chariots <07393>, [and] though <03588> they [be] strong <02389>.
Joshua 18
1. And the whole <03605> congregation <05712> of the children
<01121> of Israel <03478> assembled <06950> together at Shiloh
<07887>, and set <07931> up the tabernacle <0168> of the
congregation <04150> there <08033>. And the land <0776> was
subdued <03533> before <06440> them.
2. And there remained <03498> among the children <01121> of
Israel <03478> seven <07651> tribes <07626>, which <0834> had
not yet received <02505> their inheritance <05159>.
3 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the children <01121> of
Israel <03478>, How <05704> long <05704> [are] ye slack <07503>
to go <0935> to possess <03423> the land <0776>, which <0834>
the LORD <03068> God <0430> of your fathers <01> hath given
<05414> you?
4 Give <03051> out from among you three <07969> men <0582> for
[each] tribe <07626>: and I will send <07971> them, and they
shall rise <06965>, and go <01980> through the land <0776>, and
describe <03789> it according <06310> to the inheritance <05159>
of them; and they shall come <0935> [again] to me.
5 And they shall divide <02505> it into seven <07651> parts
<02506>: Judah <03063> shall abide <05975> in their coast
<01366> on the south <05045>, and the house <01004> of Joseph
<03130> shall abide <05975> in their coasts <01366> on the north
<06828>.
6 Ye shall therefore describe <03789> the land <0776> [into]
seven <07651> parts <02506>, and bring <0935> [the description]
hither to me, that I may cast <03384> lots <01486> for you here
<06311> before <06440> the LORD <03068> our God <0430>.
7 But the Levites <03881> have no <03808> part <02506> among
<07130> you; for the priesthood <03550> of the LORD <03068> [is]
their inheritance <05159>: and Gad <01410>, and Reuben <07205>,
and half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, have
<01961> received <03947> their inheritance <05159> beyond
<05676> Jordan <03383> on the east <04217>, which <0834> Moses
<04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> gave <05414>
them.
8 And the men <0582> arose <06965>, and went <03212> away: and
Joshua <03091> charged <06680> them that went <01980> to
describe <03789> the land <0776>, saying <0559>, Go <03212> and
walk <01980> through the land <0776>, and describe <03789> it,
and come <07725> again <07725> to me, that I may here <06311>
cast <07993> lots <01486> for you before <06440> the LORD
<03068> in Shiloh <07887>.
9 And the men <0582> went <03212> and passed <05674> through
the land <0776>, and described <03789> it by cities <05892> into
seven <07651> parts <02506> in a book <05612>, and came <0935>
[again] to Joshua <03091> to the host <04264> at Shiloh <07887>.
10 And Joshua <03091> cast <07993> lots <01486> for them in
Shiloh <07887> before <06440> the LORD <03068>: and there
<08033> Joshua <03091> divided <02505> the land <0776> unto the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> according to their divisions
<04256>.
11. And the lot <01486> of the tribe <04294> of the children
<01121> of Benjamin <01144> came <05927> up according to their
families <04940>: and the coast <01366> of their lot <01486>
came <03318> forth <03318> between <0996> the children <01121>
of Judah <03063> and the children <01121> of Joseph <03130>.
12 And their border <01366> on the north <06828> side <06285>
was from Jordan <03383>; and the border <01366> went <05927> up
to the side <03802> of Jericho <03405> on the north <06828> side,
and went <05927> up through the mountains <02022> westward
<03220>; and the goings <08444> out thereof were at the
wilderness <04057> of Bethaven <01007>.
13 And the border <01366> went <05674> over <05674> from thence
<08033> toward Luz <03870>, to the side <03802> of Luz <03870>,
which <01958> [is] Bethel <01008>, southward <05045>; and the
border <01366> descended <03381> to Atarothadar <05853>, near
<05921> the hill <02022> that [lieth] on the south <05045> side
of the nether <08481> Bethhoron <01032>.
14 And the border <01366> was drawn <08388> [thence], and
compassed <05437> the corner <06285> of the sea <03220>
southward <05045>, from the hill <02022> that [lieth] before
Bethhoron <01032> southward <05045>; and the goings <08444> out
thereof were at <0413> Kirjathbaal <07154>, which <01958> [is]
Kirjathjearim <07157>, a city <05892> of the children <01121> of
Judah <03063>: this <02063> [was] the west <03220> quarter
<06285>.
15 And the south <05045> quarter <06285> [was] from the end
<07097> of Kirjathjearim <07157>, and the border <01366> went
<03318> out on the west <03220>, and went <03318> out to the
well <04599> of waters <04325> of Nephtoah <05318>:
16 And the border <01366> came <03381> down <03381> to the end
<07097> of the mountain <02022> that [lieth] before the valley
<01516> of the son <01121> of Hinnom <02011>, [and] which <0834>
[is] in the valley <06010> of the giants <07497> on the north
<06828>, and descended <03381> to the valley <01516> of Hinnom
<02011>, to the side <03802> of Jebusi <02983> on the south
<05045>, and descended <03381> to Enrogel <05883>,
17 And was drawn <08388> from the north <06828>, and went
<03318> forth <03318> to Enshemesh <05885>, and went <03318>
forth <03318> toward <0413> Geliloth <01553>, which <0834> [is]
over <05227> against <05227> the going <04608> up of Adummim
<0131>, and descended <03381> to the stone <068> of Bohan <0932>
the son <01121> of Reuben <07205>,
18 And passed <05674> along toward <0413> the side <03802> over
<04136> against <04136> Arabah <06160> northward <06828>, and
went <03381> down <03381> unto Arabah <06160>:
19 And the border <01366> passed <05674> along to the side
<03802> of Bethhoglah <01031> northward <06828>: and the
outgoings <08444> of the border <01366> were at the north
<06828> bay <03956> of the salt <04417> sea <03220> at the south
<05045> end <07097> of Jordan <03383>: this <02088> [was] the
south <05045> coast <01366>.
20 And Jordan <03383> was the border <01379> of it on the east
<06924> side <06285>. This <02063> [was] the inheritance <05159>
of the children <01121> of Benjamin <01144>, by the coasts
<01367> thereof round <05439> about, according to their families
<04940>.
21 Now the cities <05892> of the tribe <04294> of the children
<01121> of Benjamin <01144> according to their families <04940>
were Jericho <03405>, and Bethhoglah <01031>, and the valley

<01958> [is] Jerusalem <03389>, Gibeath <01394>, [and] Kirjath
<07157>; fourteen cities <05892> with their villages <02691>.
This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the children
<01121> of Benjamin <01144> according to their families <04940>.
Joshua 19
1. And the second <08145> lot <01486> came <03318> forth
<03318> to Simeon <08095>, [even] for the tribe <04294> of the
children <01121> of Simeon <08095> according to their families
<04940>: and their inheritance <05159> was within <08432> the
inheritance <05159> of the children <01121> of Judah <03063>.
2 And they had <01961> in their inheritance <05159> Beersheba

8 And all <03605> the villages <02691> that [were] round
<05439> about these <0428> cities <05892> to Baalathbeer <01192>,
Ramath <07418> of the south <05045>. This <02063> [is] the
inheritance <05159> of the tribe <04294> of the children <01121>
of Simeon <08095> according to their families <04940>.
9 Out of the portion <02256> of the children <01121> of Judah
<03063> [was] the inheritance <05159> of the children <01121> of
Simeon <08095>: for the part <02506> of the children <01121> of
Judah <03063> was too much <07227> for them: therefore the
children <01121> of Simeon <08095> had their inheritance <05159>
within <08432> the inheritance <05159> of them.
10. And the third <07992> lot <01486> came <05927> up for the
children <01121> of Zebulun <02074> according to their families
<04940>: and the border <01366> of their inheritance <05159> was

11 And their border <01366> went <05927> up toward the sea
<03220>, and Maralah <04831>, and reached <06293> to Dabbasheth
<01708>, and reached <06293> to the river <05158> that [is]

<08110>, and Idalah <03030>, and Bethlehem <01035>: twelve

16 This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the children
<01121> of Zebulun <02074> according to their families <04940>,
these <0428> cities <05892> with their villages <02691>.
17. [And] the fourth <07243> lot <01486> came <03318> out to
Issachar <03485>, for the children <01121> of Issachar <03485>

23 This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the tribe

<01121> of Naphtali <05321> according to their families <04940>.
33 And their coast <01366> was from Heleph <02501>, from Allon
<0438> to Zaanannim, and Adami <0129>, Nekeb <05346>, and
Jabneel <02995>, unto Lakum <03946>; and the outgoings <08444>
thereof were at Jordan <03383>:
34 And [then] the coast <01366> turneth <07725> westward
<03220> to Aznothtabor <0243>, and goeth <03318> out from thence
<08033> to Hukkok <02712>, and reacheth <06293> to Zebulun
<02074> on the south <05045> side, and reacheth <06293> to Asher
<0836> on the west <03220> side, and to Judah <03063> upon
Jordan <03383> toward the sunrising.
35 And the fenced <04013> cities <05892> [are] Ziddim, Zer, and
Hammath <02575>, Rakkath <07557>, and Chinnereth <03672>,
36 And Adamah <0128>, and Ramah <07414>, and Hazor <02674>,
37 And Kedesh <06943>, and Edrei <0154>, and Enhazor <05877>,
38 And Iron <03375>, and Migdalel <04027>, Horem <02765>, and
Bethanath <01043>, and Bethshemesh <01053>; nineteen cities
<05892> with their villages <02691>.
39 This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the tribe
<04294> of the children <01121> of Naphtali <05321> according to
their families <04940>, the cities <05892> and their villages
<02691>.
40. [And] the seventh <07637> lot <01486> came <03318> out for
the tribe <04294> of the children <01121> of Dan <01835>
according to their families <04940>.
41 And the coast <01366> of their inheritance <05159> was Zorah
<06681>, and Eshtaol <0847>, and Irshemesh <05905>,
42 And Shaalabbin <08169>, and Ajalon <0357>, and Jethlah
<03494>,
43 And Elon <0356>, and Thimnathah <08553>, and Ekron <06138>,

<01667>,
46 And Mejarkon <04313>, and Rakkon <07542>, with the border
<01366> before <04136> Japho <03305>.
47 And the coast <01366> of the children <01121> of Dan <01835>
went <03318> out [too little] for them: therefore the children
<01121> of Dan <01835> went <05927> up to fight <03898> against
<05973> Leshem <03959>, and took <03920> it, and smote <05221>
it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and possessed
<03423> it, and dwelt <03427> therein, and called <07121> Leshem
<03959>, Dan <01835>, after the name <08034> of Dan <01835>
their father <01>.
48 This <02063> [is] the inheritance <05159> of the tribe
<04294> of the children <01121> of Dan <01835> according to
their families <04940>, these <0428> cities <05892> with their
villages <02691>.
49. When they had made an end <03615> of dividing the land
<0776> for inheritance <05157> by their coasts <01367>, the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> gave <05414> an inheritance
<05159> to Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126> among
<08432> them:
50 According <05921> to the word <06310> of the LORD <03068>
they gave <05414> him the city <05892> which <0834> he asked
<07592>, [even] Timnathserah <08556> in mount <02022> Ephraim
<0669>: and he built <01129> the city <05892>, and dwelt <03427>
therein.
51 These <0428> [are] the inheritances <05159>, which <0834>
Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>, and Joshua <03091> the son
<01121> of Nun <05126>, and the heads <07218> of the fathers
<01> of the tribes <04294> of the children <01121> of Israel
<03478>, divided for an inheritance <05157> by lot <01486> in
Shiloh <07887> before <06440> the LORD <03068>, at the door
<06607> of the tabernacle <0168> of the congregation <04150>. So
they made an end <03615> of dividing <02505> the country <0776>.
Joshua 20
1. The LORD <03068> also spake <01696> unto Joshua <03091>,
saying <0559>,
2 Speak <01696> to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>,
saying <0559>, Appoint <05414> out for you cities <05892> of
refuge <04733>, whereof <0834> I spake <01696> unto you by the
hand <03027> of Moses <04872>:
3 That the slayer <07523> that killeth <05221> [any] person
<05315> unawares <07684> [and] unwittingly may flee <05127>
thither <08033>: and they shall be your refuge <04733> from the
avenger <01350> of blood <01818>.
4 And when he that doth flee <05127> unto one <0259> of those
<0428> cities <05892> shall stand <05975> at the entering
<06607> of the gate <08179> of the city <05892>, and shall
declare <01696> his cause <01697> in the ears <0241> of the
elders <02205> of that city <05892>, they shall take <0622> him
into the city <05892> unto them, and give <05414> him a place
<04725>, that he may dwell <03427> among <05973> them.
5 And if <03588> the avenger <01350> of blood <01818> pursue
<07291> after <0310> him, then they shall not deliver <05462>
the slayer <07523> up into his hand <03027>; because <03588> he
smote <05221> his neighbour <07453> unwittingly, and hated
<08130> him not beforetime.
6 And he shall dwell <03427> in that city <05892>, until
<05704> he stand <05975> before <06440> the congregation <05712>
for judgment <04941>, [and] until <05704> the death <04194> of
the high <01419> priest <03548> that shall be in those days
<03117>: then <0227> shall the slayer <07523> return <07725>,
and come <0935> unto his own city <05892>, and unto his own
house <01004>, unto the city <05892> from whence he fled <05127>.
7. And they appointed <06942> Kedesh <06943> in Galilee <01551>
in mount <02022> Naphtali <05321>, and Shechem <07927> in mount
<02022> Ephraim <0669>, and Kirjatharba <07153>, which <01958>
[is] Hebron <02275>, in the mountain <02022> of Judah <03063>.
8 And on the other <05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383> by
Jericho <03405> eastward <04217>, they assigned <05414> Bezer
<01221> in the wilderness <04057> upon the plain <04334> out of
the tribe <04294> of Reuben <07205>, and Ramoth <07216> in
Gilead <01568> out of the tribe <04294> of Gad <01410>, and
Golan <01474> in Bashan <01316> out of the tribe <04294> of
Manasseh <04519>.
9 These <0428> were the cities <05892> appointed <04152> for
all <03605> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and for the
stranger <01616> that sojourneth <01481> among <08432> them,
that whosoever <03605> killeth <05221> [any] person <05315> at
unawares <07684> might flee <05127> thither <08033>, and not die
<04191> by the hand <03027> of the avenger <01350> of blood
<01818>, until <05704> he stood <05975> before <06440> the
congregation <05712>.
Joshua 21
1. Then came <05066> near <05066> the heads <07218> of the
fathers <01> of the Levites <03881> unto Eleazar <0499> the
priest <03548>, and unto Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun
<05126>, and unto the heads <07218> of the fathers <01> of the
tribes <04294> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>;
2 And they spake <01696> unto them at Shiloh <07887> in the
land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068>
commanded <06680> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872> to give
<05414> us cities <05892> to dwell <03427> in, with the suburbs
<04054> thereof for our cattle <0929>.
3 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> gave <05414> unto
the Levites <03881> out of their inheritance <05159>, at <0413>
the commandment <06310> of the LORD <03068>, these <0428> cities

lot <01486> unto the Levites <03881> these <0428> cities <05892>
with their suburbs <04054>, as the LORD <03068> commanded
<06680> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>.
9. And they gave <05414> out of the tribe <04294> of the

Joshua 22
1. Then <0227> Joshua <03091> called <07121> the Reubenites
<07206>, and the Gadites <01425>, and the half <02677> tribe
<04294> of Manasseh <04519>,
2 And said <0559> unto them, Ye have kept <08104> all <03605>
that Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>
commanded <06680> you, and have obeyed <08085> my voice <06963>
in all <03605> that I commanded <06680> you:
3 Ye have not left <05800> your brethren <0251> these <0428>
many <07227> days <03117> unto this <02088> day <03117>, but
have kept <08104> the charge <04931> of the commandment <04687>
of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.
4 And now <06258> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath given
rest <05117> unto your brethren <0251>, as he promised <01696>
them: therefore now <06258> return <06437> ye, and get <03212>
you unto your tents <0168>, [and] unto the land <0776> of your
possession <0272>, which <0834> Moses <04872> the servant
<05650> of the LORD <03068> gave <05414> you on the other
<05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383>.
5 But take diligent <03966> heed <08104> to do <06213> the
commandment <04687> and the law <08451>, which <0834> Moses
<04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> charged <06680>
you, to love <0157> the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and to
walk <03212> in all <03605> his ways <01870>, and to keep
<08104> his commandments <04687>, and to cleave <01692> unto him,
and to serve <05647> him with all <03605> your heart <03824>
and with all <03605> your soul <05315>.
6 So Joshua <03091> blessed <01288> them, and sent <07971> them
away: and they went <03212> unto their tents <0168>.
7 Now to the [one] half <02677> of the tribe <07626> of
Manasseh <04519> Moses <04872> had given <05414> [possession] in
Bashan <01316>: but unto the [other] half <02677> thereof gave
<05414> Joshua <03091> among <05973> their brethren <0251> on
this side <05676> Jordan <03383> westward <03220>. And when
<03588> Joshua <03091> sent <07971> them away also <01571> unto
their tents <0168>, then he blessed <01288> them,
8 And he spake <0559> unto them, saying <0559>, Return <07725>
with much <07227> riches <05233> unto your tents <0168>, and
with very <03966> much <07227> cattle <04735>, with silver
<03701>, and with gold <02091>, and with brass <05178>, and with
iron <01270>, and with very <03966> much <07235> raiment <08008>:
divide <02505> the spoil <07998> of your enemies <0341> with
your brethren <0251>.
9 And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children
<01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of
Manasseh <04519> returned <07725>, and departed <03212> from the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of Shiloh <07887>, which
<0834> [is] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, to go <03212>
unto the country <0776> of Gilead <01568>, to the land <0776> of
their possession <0272>, whereof <0834> they were possessed
<0270>, according <05921> to the word <06310> of the LORD
<03068> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>.
10. And when they came <0935> unto the borders <01552> of
Jordan <03383>, that [are] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>,
the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121>
of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh
<04519> built <01129> there <08033> an altar <04196> by Jordan
<03383>, a great <01419> altar <04196> to see <04758> to.
11 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard <08085> say
<0559>, Behold <02009>, the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>
and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677>
tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> have built <01129> an altar
<04196> over against <04136> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>,
in the borders <01552> of Jordan <03383>, at <0413> the passage
<01552> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
12 And when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard
<08085> [of it], the whole <03605> congregation <05712> of the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> gathered <06950> themselves
together at Shiloh <07887>, to go <05927> up to war <06635>
against <05921> them.
13 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> sent <07971> unto
the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children
<01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the half <02677> tribe <07626> of
Manasseh <04519>, into <0413> the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>,
Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest
<03548>,
14 And with him ten <06235> princes <05387>, of each <0259>
chief <01> house <01004> a prince <05387> throughout all <03605>
the tribes <04294> of Israel <03478>; and each one <0376> [was]
an head <07218> of the house <01004> of their fathers <01> among
the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>.
15 And they came <0935> unto the children <01121> of Reuben
<07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the
half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, unto the land
<0776> of Gilead <01568>, and they spake <01696> with them,
saying <0559>,
16 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the whole <03605> congregation
<05712> of the LORD <03068>, What <04100> trespass <04604> [is]
this <02088> that ye have committed <04600> against the God
<0430> of Israel <03478>, to turn <07725> away this day <03117>
from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, in that ye have builded
<01129> you an altar <04196>, that ye might rebel <04775> this
day <03117> against the LORD <03068>?
17 [Is] the iniquity <05771> of Peor <06465> too little <04592>
for us, from which <0834> we are not cleansed <02891> until
<05704> this <02088> day <03117>, although there was a plague
<05063> in the congregation <05712> of the LORD <03068>,
18 But that ye must turn <07725> away this day <03117> from
following <0310> the LORD <03068>? and it will be, [seeing] ye
rebel <04775> to day <03117> against the LORD <03068>, that to
morrow <04279> he will be wroth <07107> with the whole <03605>
congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>.
19 Notwithstanding <0389>, if <0518> the land <0776> of your
possession <0272> [be] unclean <02931>, [then] pass <05674> ye
over <05674> unto the land <0776> of the possession <0272> of
the LORD <03068>, wherein the LORD'S <03068> tabernacle <04908>
dwelleth <07931>, and take <0270> possession <0270> among
<08432> us: but rebel <04775> not against the LORD <03068>, nor
<0408> rebel <04775> against us, in building <01129> you an
altar <04196> beside <01107> the altar <04196> of the LORD
<03068> our God <0430>.
20 Did not Achan <05912> the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>
commit <04603> a trespass <04604> in the accursed <02764> thing,
and wrath <07110> fell <01961> on <05921> all <03605> the
congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>? and that man <0376>
perished <01478> not alone <0259> in his iniquity <05771>.
21. Then the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the
children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe
<07626> of Manasseh <04519> answered <06030>, and said <01696>
unto the heads <07218> of the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>,
22 The LORD <03068> God <0410> of gods <0430>, the LORD <03068>
God <0410> of gods <0430>, he knoweth <03045>, and Israel
<03478> he shall know <03045>; if <0518> [it be] in rebellion
<04779>, or if <0518> in transgression <04604> against the LORD
<03068>, (save us not this <02088> day <03117>,)
23 That we have built <01129> us an altar <04196> to turn
<07725> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, or if <0518> to
offer <05927> thereon <05921> burnt <05930> offering or meat
offering <04503>, or if <0518> to offer <06213> peace <08002>
offerings <02077> thereon <05921>, let the LORD <03068> himself
require <01245> [it];
24 And if <0518> we have not [rather] done <06213> it for fear
<01674> of [this <02063>] thing <01697>, saying <0559>, In time
<04279> to come <04279> your children <01121> might speak <0559>
unto our children <01121>, saying <0559>, What <04100> have ye
to do with the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>?
25 For the LORD <03068> hath made <05414> Jordan <03383> a
border <01366> between <0996> us and you, ye children <01121> of
Reuben <07205> and children <01121> of Gad <01410>; ye have no
<0369> part <02506> in the LORD <03068>: so shall your children
<01121> make our children <01121> cease <07673> from fearing
<03372> the LORD <03068>.
26 Therefore we said <0559>, Let us now <04994> prepare <06213>
to build <01129> us an altar <04196>, not for burnt <05930>
offering, nor <03808> for sacrifice <02077>:
27 But [that] it [may be] a witness <05707> between <0996> us,
and you, and our generations <01755> after <0310> us, that we
might do <05647> the service <05656> of the LORD <03068> before
<06440> him with our burnt <05930> offerings, and with our
sacrifices <02077>, and with our peace <08002> offerings; that
your children <01121> may not say <0559> to our children <01121>
in time <04279> to come <04279>, Ye have no <0369> part <02506>
in the LORD <03068>.
28 Therefore said <0559> we, that it shall be, when <03588>
they should [so] say <0559> to us or to our generations <01755>
in time <04279> to come <04279>, that we may say <0559> [again],
Behold <07200> the pattern <08403> of the altar <04196> of the
LORD <03068>, which <0834> our fathers <01> made <06213>, not
for burnt <05930> offerings, nor <03808> for sacrifices <02077>;
but it [is] a witness <05707> between <0996> us and you.
29 God forbid <02486> that we should rebel <04775> against the
LORD <03068>, and turn <07725> this day <03117> from following
<0310> the LORD <03068>, to build <01129> an altar <04196> for
burnt <05930> offerings, for meat offerings <04503>, or for
sacrifices <02077>, beside <0905> the altar <04196> of the LORD
<03068> our God <0430> that [is] before <06440> his tabernacle
<04908>.
30. And when Phinehas <06372> the priest <03548>, and the
princes <05387> of the congregation <05712> and heads <07218> of
the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478> which <0834> [were] with
him, heard <08085> the words <01697> that the children <01121>
of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and
the children <01121> of Manasseh <04519> spake <01696>, it
pleased them.
31 And Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the
priest <03548> said <0559> unto the children <01121> of Reuben
<07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the
children <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, This day <03117> we
perceive <03045> that the LORD <03068> [is] among <08432> us,
because <0834> ye have not committed <04600> this <02088>
trespass <04604> against the LORD <03068>: now <0227> ye have
delivered <05337> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of
the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>.
32 And Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the
priest <03548>, and the princes <05387>, returned <07725> from
the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and from the children
<01121> of Gad <01410>, out of the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>,
unto the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, to the children <01121>
of Israel <03478>, and brought <07725> them word <01697> again
<07725>.
33 And the thing <01697> pleased the children <01121> of Israel
<03478>; and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> blessed
<01288> God <0430>, and did not intend <0559> to go <05927> up
against <05921> them in battle <06635>, to destroy <07843> the
land <0776> wherein <0834> the children <01121> of Reuben
<07205> and Gad <01410> dwelt <03427>.
34 And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children
<01121> of Gad <01410> called <07121> the altar <04196> [Ed]:
for it [shall be] a witness <05707> between <0996> us that the
LORD <03068> [is] God <0430>.
Joshua 23
1. And it came <01961> to pass a long <07227> time <03117>
after <0310> that the LORD <03068> had given rest <05117> unto
Israel <03478> from all <03605> their enemies <0341> round
<05439> about, that Joshua <03091> waxed old <02204> [and]
stricken <0935> in age <03117>.
2 And Joshua <03091> called <07121> for all <03605> Israel
<03478>, [and] for their elders <02205>, and for their heads
<07218>, and for their judges <08199>, and for their officers
<07860>, and said <0559> unto them, I am old <02204> [and]
stricken <0935> in age <03117>:
3 And ye have seen <07200> all <03605> that the LORD <03068>
your God <0430> hath done <06213> unto all <03605> these <0428>
nations <01471> because <06440> of you; for the LORD <03068>
your God <0430> [is] he that hath fought <03898> for you.
4 Behold <07200>, I have divided <05307> unto you by lot these
<0428> nations <01471> that remain <07604>, to be an inheritance
<05159> for your tribes <07626>, from Jordan <03383>, with all
<03605> the nations <01471> that I have cut <03772> off, even
unto the great <01419> sea <03220> westward.
5 And the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, he shall expel <01920>
them from before <06440> you, and drive <03423> them from out of
your sight <06440>; and ye shall possess <03423> their land
<0776>, as the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath promised
<01696> unto you.
6 Be ye therefore very <03966> courageous <02388> to keep
<08104> and to do <06213> all <03605> that is written <03789> in
the book <05612> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, that ye
turn <05493> not aside therefrom [to] the right <03225> hand
<03225> or [to] the left <08040>;
7 That ye come <0935> not among these <0428> nations <01471>,
these <0428> that remain <07604> among you; neither <03808> make
mention <02142> of the name <08034> of their gods <0430>, nor
<03808> cause to swear <07650> [by them], neither <03808> serve
<05647> them, nor <03808> bow <07812> yourselves unto them:
8 But cleave <01692> unto the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, as
ye have done <06213> unto this <02088> day <03117>.
9 For the LORD <03068> hath driven <03423> out from before
<06440> you great <01419> nations <01471> and strong <06099>:
but [as for] you, no <03808> man <0376> hath been able <05975>
to stand <05975> before <06440> you unto this <02088> day
<03117>.
10 One <0259> man <0376> of you shall chase <07291> a thousand
<0505>: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, he [it is] that
fighteth <03898> for you, as he hath promised <01696> you.
11. Take good <03966> heed <08104> therefore unto yourselves
<05315>, that ye love <0157> the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.
12 Else <03588> if ye do in any wise go <07725> back <07725>,
and cleave <01692> unto the remnant <03499> of these <0428>
nations <01471>, [even] these <0428> that remain <07604> among
<0854> you, and shall make marriages <02859> with them, and go
<0935> in unto them, and they to you:
13 Know <03045> for a certainty that the LORD <03068> your God
<0430> will no <03808> more <03254> drive <03423> out [any of]
these <0428> nations <01471> from before <06440> you; but they
shall be snares <06341> and traps <04170> unto you, and scourges
<07850> in your sides <06654>, and thorns <06975> in your eyes
<05869>, until <05704> ye perish <06> from off <05921> this
<02063> good <02896> land <0127> which <0834> the LORD <03068>
your God <0430> hath given <05414> you.
14 And, behold <02009>, this day <03117> I [am] going <01980>
the way <01870> of all <03605> the earth <0776>: and ye know
<03045> in all <03605> your hearts <03824> and in all <03605>
your souls <05315>, that not one <0259> thing <01697> hath
failed <05307> of all <03605> the good <02896> things <01697>
which <0834> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> spake <01696>
concerning <05921> you; all <03605> are come <0935> to pass unto
you, [and] not one <0259> thing <01697> hath failed <05307>
thereof.
15 Therefore it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] as all
<03605> good <02896> things <01697> are come <0935> upon you,
which <0834> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> promised <01696>
you; so <03651> shall the LORD <03068> bring <0935> upon you all
<03605> evil <07451> things <01697>, until <05704> he have
destroyed <08045> you from off <05921> this <02063> good <02896>
land <0127> which <0834> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath
given <05414> you.
16 When ye have transgressed <05674> the covenant <01285> of
the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, which <0834> he commanded
<06680> you, and have gone <01980> and served <05647> other
<0312> gods <0430>, and bowed <07812> yourselves to them; then
shall the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> be kindled <02734>
against you, and ye shall perish <06> quickly <04120> from off
<05921> the good <02896> land <0776> which <0834> he hath given
<05414> unto you.
Joshua 24
1. And Joshua <03091> gathered <0622> all <03605> the tribes
<07626> of Israel <03478> to Shechem <07927>, and called <07121>
for the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and for their heads
<07218>, and for their judges <08199>, and for their officers
<07860>; and they presented <03320> themselves before <06440>
God <0430>.
2 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto all <03605> the people
<05971>, Thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> God <0430>
of Israel <03478>, Your fathers <01> dwelt <03427> on the other
<05676> side <05676> of the flood <05104> in old <05769> time
<05769>, [even] Terah <08646>, the father <01> of Abraham <085>,
and the father <01> of Nachor <05152>: and they served <05647>
other <0312> gods <0430>.
3 And I took <03947> your father <01> Abraham <085> from the
other <05676> side <05676> of the flood <05104>, and led <03212>
him throughout all <03605> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>,
and multiplied <07235> his seed <02233>, and gave <05414> him
Isaac <03327>.
4 And I gave <05414> unto Isaac <03327> Jacob <03290> and Esau
<06215>: and I gave <05414> unto Esau <06215> mount <02022> Seir
<08165>, to possess <03423> it; but Jacob <03290> and his
children <01121> went <03381> down <03381> into Egypt <04714>.
5 I sent <07971> Moses <04872> also and Aaron <0175>, and I
plagued <05062> Egypt <04714>, according to that which <0834> I
did <06213> among <07130> them: and afterward <0310> I brought
<03318> you out.
6 And I brought <03318> your fathers <01> out of Egypt <04714>:
and ye came <0935> unto the sea <03220>; and the Egyptians
<04714> pursued <07291> after <0310> your fathers <01> with
chariots <07393> and horsemen <06571> unto the Red <05488> sea
<03220>.
7 And when they cried <06817> unto the LORD <03068>, he put
<07760> darkness <03990> between <0996> you and the Egyptians
<04713>, and brought <0935> the sea <03220> upon them, and
covered <03680> them; and your eyes <05869> have seen <07200>
what I have done <06213> in Egypt <04714>: and ye dwelt <03427>
in the wilderness <04057> a long <07227> season <03117>.
8 And I brought <0935> you into the land <0776> of the Amorites
<0567>, which dwelt <03427> on the other <05676> side <05676>
Jordan <03383>; and they fought <03898> with you: and I gave
<05414> them into your hand <03027>, that ye might possess
<03423> their land <0776>; and I destroyed <08045> them from
before <06440> you.
9 Then Balak <01111> the son <01121> of Zippor <06834>, king
<04428> of Moab <04124>, arose <06965> and warred <03898>
against Israel <03478>, and sent <07971> and called <07121>
Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> to curse <07043>
you:
10 But I would <014> not hearken <08085> unto Balaam <01109>;
therefore he blessed <01288> you still: so I delivered <05337>
you out of his hand <03027>.
11 And ye went <05674> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, and came
<0935> unto Jericho <03405>: and the men <01167> of Jericho
<03405> fought <03898> against you, the Amorites <0567>, and the
Perizzites <06522>, and the Canaanites <03669>, and the Hittites
<02850>, and the Girgashites <01622>, the Hivites <02340>, and
the Jebusites <02983>; and I delivered <05414> them into your
hand <03027>.
12 And I sent <07971> the hornet <06880> before <06440> you,
which drave <01644> them out from before <06440> you, [even] the
two <08147> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>; [but] not with
thy sword <02719>, nor <03808> with thy bow <07198>.
13 And I have given <05414> you a land <0776> for which <0834>
ye did not labour <03021>, and cities <05892> which <0834> ye
built <01129> not, and ye dwell <03427> in them; of the
vineyards <03754> and oliveyards <02132> which <0834> ye planted
<05193> not do ye eat <0398>.
14 Now <06258> therefore fear <03372> the LORD <03068>, and
serve <05647> him in sincerity <08549> and in truth <0571>: and
put <05493> away <05493> the gods <0430> which <0834> your
fathers <01> served <05647> on the other <05676> side <05676> of
the flood <05104>, and in Egypt <04714>; and serve <05647> ye
the LORD <03068>.
15. And if <0518> it seem evil <07489> unto you to serve
<05647> the LORD <03068>, choose <0977> you this day <03117>
whom <04310> ye will serve <05647>; whether <0518> the gods
<0430> which <0834> your fathers <01> served <05647> that [were]
on the other <05676> side <05676> of the flood <05104>, or the
gods <0430> of the Amorites <0567>, in whose <0834> land <0776>
ye dwell <03427>: but as for me and my house <01004>, we will
serve <05647> the LORD <03068>.
16 And the people <05971> answered <06030> and said <0559>, God
forbid <02486> that we should forsake <05800> the LORD <03068>,
to serve <05647> other <0312> gods <0430>;
17 For the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, he [it is] that brought
<05927> us up and our fathers <01> out of the land <0776> of
Egypt <04714>, from the house <01004> of bondage <05650>, and
which <0834> did <06213> those <0428> great <01419> signs <0226>
in our sight <05869>, and preserved <08104> us in all <03605>
the way <01870> wherein <0834> we went <01980>, and among all
<03605> the people <05971> through <07130> whom <0834> we passed
<05674>:
18 And the LORD <03068> drave <01644> out from before <06440>
us all <03605> the people <05971>, even the Amorites <0567>
which dwelt <03427> in the land <0776>: [therefore] will we also
<01571> serve <05647> the LORD <03068>; for he [is] our God
<0430>.
19 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Ye
cannot serve <05647> the LORD <03068>: for he [is] an holy
<06918> God <0430>; he [is] a jealous <07072> God <0410>; he
will not forgive <05375> your transgressions <06588> nor your
sins <02403>.
20 If <03588> ye forsake <05800> the LORD <03068>, and serve
<05647> strange <05236> gods <0430>, then he will turn <07725>
and do you hurt <07489>, and consume <03615> you, after <0310>
that he hath done you good <03190>.
21 And the people <05971> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Nay
<03808>; but we will serve <05647> the LORD <03068>.
22 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Ye
[are] witnesses <05707> against yourselves that ye have chosen
<0977> you the LORD <03068>, to serve <05647> him. And they said
<0559>, [We are] witnesses <05707>.
23 Now <06258> therefore put <05493> away <05493>, [said he],
the strange <05236> gods <0430> which <0834> [are] among <07130>
you, and incline <05186> your heart <03824> unto the LORD
<03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.
24 And the people <05971> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, The
LORD <03068> our God <0430> will we serve <05647>, and his voice
<06963> will we obey <08085>.
25 So Joshua <03091> made <03772> a covenant <01285> with the
people <05971> that day <03117>, and set <07760> them a statute
<02706> and an ordinance <04941> in Shechem <07927>.
26 And Joshua <03091> wrote <03789> these <0428> words <01697>
in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of God <0430>, and took
<03947> a great <01419> stone <068>, and set <06965> it up there
<08033> under <08478> an oak <0427>, that [was] by the sanctuary
<04720> of the LORD <03068>.
27 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto all <03605> the people
<05971>, Behold <02009>, this <02063> stone <068> shall be a
witness <05713> unto us; for it hath heard <08085> all <03605>
the words <0561> of the LORD <03068> which <0834> he spake
<01696> unto us: it shall be therefore a witness <05713> unto
you, lest <06435> ye deny <03584> your God <0430>.
28 So Joshua <03091> let the people <05971> depart <07971>,
every man <0376> unto his inheritance <05159>.
29. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428>
things <01697>, that Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun
<05126>, the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>, died <04191>,
[being] an hundred <03967> and ten <06235> years <08141> old
<01121>.
30 And they buried <06912> him in the border <01366> of his
inheritance <05159> in Timnathserah <08556>, which <0834> [is]
in mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>, on the north <06828> side of
the hill <02022> of Gaash <01608>.
31 And Israel <03478> served <05647> the LORD <03068> all
<03605> the days <03117> of Joshua <03091>, and all <03605> the
days <03117> of the elders <02205> that overlived Joshua <03091>,
and which <0834> had known <03045> all <03605> the works
<04639> of the LORD <03068>, that he had done <06213> for Israel
<03478>.
32 And the bones <06106> of Joseph <03130>, which <0834> the
children <01121> of Israel <03478> brought <05927> up out of
Egypt <04714>, buried <06912> they in Shechem <07927>, in a
parcel <02513> of ground <07704> which <0834> Jacob <03290>
bought <07069> of the sons <01121> of Hamor <02544> the father
<01> of Shechem <07927> for an hundred <03967> pieces of silver
<07192>: and it became <01961> the inheritance <05159> of the
children <01121> of Joseph <03130>.
33 And Eleazar <0499> the son <01121> of Aaron <0175> died
<04191>; and they buried <06912> him in a hill <01389> [that
pertained to] Phinehas <06372> his son <01121>, which <0834> was
given <05414> him in mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>.
