ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Joshua 1

1. Now after <0310> the death <4194> of Moses <4872> the

servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> it came <1961> to pass, that

the LORD <3068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <3091> the son <1121>

of Nun <5126>, Moses <4872>' minister <8334>, saying <0559>,

2 Moses <4872> my servant <5650> is dead <4191>; now <6258>

therefore arise <6965>, go <5674> over <5674> this Jordan <3383>,

thou, and all <3605> this <2088> people <5971>, unto the land

<0776> which <0834> I do give <5414> to them, [even] to the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

3 Every <3605> place <4725> that the sole <3709> of your foot

<7272> shall tread <1869> upon, that have I given <5414> unto

you, as I said <1696> unto Moses <4872>.

4 From the wilderness <4057> and this <2088> Lebanon <3844>

even unto the great <1419> river <5104>, the river <5104>

Euphrates <6578>, all <3605> the land <0776> of the Hittites

<2850>, and unto the great <1419> sea <3220> toward the going

<3996> down <3996> of the sun <8121>, shall be your coast <1366>.

5 There shall not any man <0376> be able <3320> to stand <3320>

before <6440> thee all <3605> the days <3117> of thy life <2416>:

as I was with Moses <4872>, [so] I will be with thee: I will

not fail <7503> thee, nor <3808> forsake <5800> thee.

6 Be strong <2388> and of a good courage <0553>: for unto this

<2088> people <5971> shalt thou divide for an inheritance <5157>

the land <0776>, which <0834> I sware <7650> unto their fathers

<1> to give <5414> them.

7 Only <7535> be thou strong <2388> and very <3966> courageous

<0553>, that thou mayest observe <8104> to do <6213> according

to all <3605> the law <8451>, which <0834> Moses <4872> my

servant <5650> commanded <6680> thee: turn <5493> not from it

[to] the right <3225> hand <3225> or [to] the left <8040>, that

thou mayest prosper <7919> whithersoever thou goest <3212>.

8 This <2088> book <5612> of the law <8451> shall not depart

<4185> out of thy mouth <6310>; but thou shalt meditate <1897>

therein day <3119> and night <3915>, that thou mayest observe

<8104> to do <6213> according to all <3605> that is written

<3789> therein: for then <0227> thou shalt make thy way <1870>

prosperous <6743>, and then <0227> thou shalt have good success

<7919>.

9 Have not I commanded <6680> thee? Be strong <2388> and of a

good courage <0553>; be not afraid <6206>, neither <0408> be

thou dismayed <2865>: for the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> [is]

with thee whithersoever thou goest <3212>.

10. Then Joshua <3091> commanded <6680> the officers <7860> of

the people <5971>, saying <0559>,

11 Pass <5674> through <7130> the host <4264>, and command

<6680> the people <5971>, saying <0559>, Prepare <3559> you

victuals <6720>; for within <5750> three <7969> days <3117> ye

shall pass <5674> over <5674> this <2088> Jordan <3383>, to go

<0935> in to possess <3423> the land <0776>, which <0834> the

LORD <3068> your God <0430> giveth <5414> you to possess <3423>

it.

12 And to the Reubenites <7206>, and to the Gadites <1425>, and

to half <2677> the tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519>, spake <0559>

Joshua <3091>, saying <0559>,

13 Remember <2142> the word <1697> which <0834> Moses <4872>

the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> you,

saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> your God <0430> hath given you

rest <5117>, and hath given <5414> you this <2063> land <0776>.

14 Your wives <0802>, your little <2945> ones, and your cattle

<4735>, shall remain <3427> in the land <0776> which <0834>

Moses <4872> gave <5414> you on this side <5676> Jordan <3383>;

but ye shall pass <5674> before <6440> your brethren <0251>

armed <2571>, all <3605> the mighty <1368> men of valour <2428>,

and help <5826> them;

15 Until <5704> the LORD <3068> have given your brethren <0251>

rest <5117>, as [he hath given] you, and they also <1571> have

possessed <3423> the land <0776> which <0834> the LORD <3068>

your God <0430> giveth <5414> them: then ye shall return <7725>

unto the land <0776> of your possession <3425>, and enjoy <3423>

it, which <0834> Moses <4872> the LORD'S <3068> servant <5650>

gave <5414> you on this side <5676> Jordan <3383> toward the

sunrising.

16. And they answered <6030> Joshua <3091>, saying <0559>, All

<3605> that thou commandest <6680> us we will do <6213>, and

whithersoever thou sendest <7971> us, we will go <3212>.

17 According as we hearkened <8085> unto Moses <4872> in all

<3605> things, so <3651> will we hearken <8085> unto thee: only

<7535> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> be with thee, as he was

with Moses <4872>.

18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel <4784> against thy

commandment <6310>, and will not hearken <8085> unto thy words

<1697> in all <3605> that thou commandest <6680> him, he shall

be put to death <4191>: only <7535> be strong <2388> and of a

good courage <0553>.

Joshua 2

1. And Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126> sent <7971>

out of Shittim <7851> two <8147> men <0582> to spy <7270>

secretly <2791>, saying <0559>, Go <3212> view <7200> the land

<0776>, even Jericho <3405>. And they went <3212>, and came

<0935> into an harlot's <2181> house <1004>, named <8034> Rahab

<7343>, and lodged <7901> there <8033>.

2 And it was told <0559> the king <4428> of Jericho <3405>,

saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, there came <0935> men <0582> in

hither to night <3915> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>

to search <2658> out the country <0776>.

3 And the king <4428> of Jericho <3405> sent <7971> unto Rahab

<7343>, saying <0559>, Bring <3318> forth <3318> the men <0582>

that are come <0935> to thee, which <0834> are entered <0935>

into thine house <1004>: for they be come <0935> to search

<2658> out all <3605> the country <0776>.

4 And the woman <0802> took <3947> the two <8147> men <0582>,

and hid <6845> them, and said <0559> thus <3651>, There came

<0935> men <0582> unto me, but I wist <3045> not whence <0370>

they [were]:

5 And it came <1961> to pass [about the time] of shutting

<5462> of the gate <8179>, when it was dark <2822>, that the men

<0582> went <3318> out: whither <0575> the men <0582> went

<1980> I wot <3045> not: pursue <7291> after <0310> them quickly

<4118>; for ye shall overtake <5381> them.

6 But she had brought <5927> them up to the roof <1406> of the

house, and hid <2934> them with the stalks <6086> of flax <6593>,

which she had laid in order <6186> upon the roof <1406>.

7 And the men <0582> pursued <7291> after <0310> them the way

<1870> to Jordan <3383> unto the fords <4569>: and as soon

<0834> as they which <0834> pursued <7291> after <0310> them

were gone <3318> out, they shut <5462> the gate <8179>.

8. And before <2962> they were laid <7901> down <7901>, she

came <5927> up unto them upon the roof <1406>;

9 And she said <0559> unto the men <0582>, I know <3045> that

the LORD <3068> hath given <5414> you the land <0776>, and that

your terror <0367> is fallen <5307> upon us, and that all <3605>

the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776> faint <4127> because

<6440> of you.

10 For we have heard <8085> how <0834> the LORD <3068> dried

<3001> up the water <4325> of the Red <5488> sea <3220> for you,

when ye came <3318> out of Egypt <4714>; and what <0834> ye did

<6213> unto the two <8147> kings <4428> of the Amorites <0567>,

that [were] on the other <5676> side <5676> Jordan <3383>, Sihon

<5511> and Og <5747>, whom ye utterly destroyed <2763>.

11 And as soon as we had heard <8085> [these things], our

hearts <3824> did melt <4549>, neither <3808> did there remain

<6965> any more <5750> courage <7307> in any man <0376>, because

<6440> of you: for the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, he [is] God

<0430> in heaven <8064> above <4605>, and in earth <0776>

beneath <8478>.

12 Now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> you, swear <7650> unto

me by the LORD <3068>, since <3588> I have shewed <6213> you

kindness <2617>, that ye will also <1571> shew <6213> kindness

<2617> unto my father's <1> house <1004>, and give <5414> me a

true <0571> token <0226>:

13 And [that] ye will save <2421> alive <2421> my father <1>,

and my mother <0517>, and my brethren <0251>, and my sisters

<0269>, and all <3605> that they have, and deliver <5337> our

lives <5315> from death <4194>.

14 And the men <0582> answered <0559> her, Our life <5315> for

yours, if <0518> ye utter <5046> not this <2088> our business

<1697>. And it shall be, when the LORD <3068> hath given <5414>

us the land <0776>, that we will deal <6213> kindly <2617> and

truly <0571> with thee.

15 Then she let <3381> them down <3381> by a cord <2256>

through <1157> the window <2474>: for her house <1004> [was]

upon the town <7023> wall <2346>, and she dwelt <3427> upon the

wall <2346>.

16 And she said <0559> unto them, Get <3212> you to the

mountain <2022>, lest <6435> the pursuers <7291> meet <6293> you;

and hide <2247> yourselves there <8033> three <7969> days

<3117>, until <5704> the pursuers <7291> be returned <7725>: and

afterward <0310> may ye go <3212> your way <1870>.

17 And the men <0582> said <0559> unto her, We [will be]

blameless <5355> of this <2088> thine oath <7621> which <0834>

thou hast made us swear <7650>.

18 Behold <2009>, [when] we come <0935> into the land <0776>,

thou shalt bind <7194> this <2088> line <8615> of scarlet <8144>

thread <2339> in the window <2474> which <0834> thou didst let

<3381> us down <3381> by: and thou shalt bring <0622> thy father

<1>, and thy mother <0517>, and thy brethren <0251>, and all

<3605> thy father's <1> household <1004>, home <1004> unto thee.

19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go <3318> out of the

doors <1817> of thy house <1004> into the street <2351>, his

blood <1818> [shall be] upon his head <7218>, and we [will be]

guiltless <5355>: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house

<1004>, his blood <1818> [shall be] on our head <7218>, if

<0518> [any] hand <3027> be upon him.

20 And if <0518> thou utter <5046> this <2088> our business

<1697>, then we will be quit <5355> of thine oath <7621> which

<0834> thou hast made us to swear <7650>.

21 And she said <0559>, According unto your words <1697>, so

<3651> [be] it. And she sent <7971> them away, and they departed

<3212>: and she bound <7194> the scarlet <8144> line <8515> in

the window <2474>.

22. And they went <3212>, and came <0935> unto the mountain

<2022>, and abode <3427> there <8033> three <7969> days <3117>,

until <5704> the pursuers <7291> were returned <7725>: and the

pursuers <7291> sought <1245> [them] throughout all <3605> the

way <1870>, but found <4672> [them] not.

23 So the two <8147> men <0582> returned <7725>, and descended

<3381> from the mountain <2022>, and passed <5674> over <5674>,

and came <0935> to Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126>,

and told <5608> him all <3605> [things] that befell <4672> them:

24 And they said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Truly <3588> the

LORD <3068> hath delivered <5414> into our hands <3027> all

<3605> the land <0776>; for even <1571> all <3605> the

inhabitants <3427> of the country <0776> do faint <4127> because

<6440> of us.

Joshua 3

1. And Joshua <3091> rose <7925> early <7925> in the morning

<1242>; and they removed <5265> from Shittim <7851>, and came

<0935> to Jordan <3383>, he and all <3605> the children <1121>

of Israel <3478>, and lodged <3885> there <8033> before <2962>

they passed <5674> over <5674>.

2 And it came <1961> to pass after <7097> three <7969> days

<3117>, that the officers <7860> went <5974> through <7130> the

host <4264>;

3 And they commanded <6680> the people <5971>, saying <0559>,

When ye see <7200> the ark <0727> of the covenant <1285> of the

LORD <3068> your God <0430>, and the priests <3548> the Levites

<3881> bearing <5375> it, then ye shall remove <5265> from your

place <4725>, and go <1980> after <0310> it.

4 Yet <0389> there shall be a space <7350> between <0996> you

and it, about two thousand <0505> cubits <0520> by measure

<4060>: come <7126> not near <7126> unto it, that ye may know

<3045> the way <1870> by which <0834> ye must go <3212>: for ye

have not passed <5674> [this] way <1870> heretofore <8543>.

5 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto the people <5971>,

Sanctify <6942> yourselves: for to morrow <4279> the LORD <3068>

will do <6213> wonders <6381> among <7130> you.

6 And Joshua <3091> spake <0559> unto the priests <3548>,

saying <0559>, Take <5375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant

<1285>, and pass <5674> over <5674> before <6440> the people

<5971>. And they took <5375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant

<1285>, and went <3212> before <6440> the people <5971>.

7. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, This

<2088> day <3117> will I begin <2490> to magnify <1431> thee in

the sight <5869> of all <3605> Israel <3478>, that they may know

<3045> that, as I was with Moses <4872>, [so] I will be with

thee.

8 And thou shalt command <6680> the priests <3548> that bear

<5375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <1285>, saying <0559>,

When ye are come <0935> to the brink <7097> of the water <4325>

of Jordan <3383>, ye shall stand <5975> still in Jordan <3383>.

9 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto the children <1121> of

Israel <3478>, Come <5066> hither <5066>, and hear <8085> the

words <1697> of the LORD <3068> your God <0430>.

10 And Joshua <3091> said <0559>, Hereby <2063> ye shall know

<3045> that the living <2416> God <0410> [is] among <7130> you,

and [that] he will without fail drive <3423> out from before

<6440> you the Canaanites <3669>, and the Hittites <2850>, and

the Hivites <2340>, and the Perizzites <6522>, and the

Girgashites <1622>, and the Amorites <0567>, and the Jebusites

<2983>.

11 Behold <2009>, the ark <0727> of the covenant <1285> of the

Lord <0113> of all <3605> the earth <0776> passeth <5674> over

<5674> before <6440> you into Jordan <3383>.

12 Now <6258> therefore take <3947> you twelve men <0376> out

of the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478>, out of every tribe <7626>

a man <0376>.

13 And it shall come <1961> to pass, as soon as the soles

<3709> of the feet <7272> of the priests <3548> that bear <5375>

the ark <0727> of the LORD <3068>, the Lord <0113> of all <3605>

the earth <0776>, shall rest <5117> in the waters <4325> of

Jordan <3383>, [that] the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> shall

be cut <3772> off [from] the waters <4325> that come <3381> down

<3381> from above <4605>; and they shall stand <5975> upon an

heap <5067>.

14. And it came <1961> to pass, when the people <5971> removed

<5265> from their tents <0168>, to pass <5674> over <5674>

Jordan <3383>, and the priests <3548> bearing <5375> the ark

<0727> of the covenant <1285> before <6440> the people <5971>;

15 And as they that bare <5375> the ark <0727> were come <0935>

unto Jordan <3383>, and the feet <7272> of the priests <3548>

that bare <5375> the ark <0727> were dipped <2881> in the brim

<7097> of the water <4325>, (for Jordan <3383> overfloweth

<4390> all <3605> his banks <1415> all <3605> the time <3117> of

harvest <7105>,)

16 That the waters <4325> which came <3381> down <3381> from

above <4605> stood <5975> [and] rose <6965> up upon an heap

<5067> very <3966> far <7368> from the city <5892> Adam <0121>,

that [is] beside <6654> Zaretan: and those that came <3381> down

<3381> toward <5921> the sea <3220> of the plain <6160>, [even]

the salt <4417> sea <3220>, failed <8552>, [and] were cut <3772>

off: and the people <5971> passed <5674> over <5674> right

against <5048> Jericho <3405>.

17 And the priests <3548> that bare <5375> the ark <0727> of

the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> stood <5975> firm <3559>

on dry <2724> ground in the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, and

all <3605> the Israelites <3478> passed <5674> over <5674> on

dry <2724> ground, until <5704> all <3605> the people <1471>

were passed <5674> clean <8552> over <5674> Jordan <3383>.

Joshua 4

1. And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> all <3605> the

people <1471> were clean <8552> passed <5674> over <5674> Jordan

<3383>, that the LORD <3068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <3091>,

saying <0559>,

2 Take <3947> you twelve men <0582> out of the people <5971>,

out of every tribe <7626> a man <0376>,

3 And command <6680> ye them, saying <0559>, Take <5375> you

hence <2088> out of the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, out of

the place where the priests <3548>' feet <7272> stood <4673>

firm <3559>, twelve stones <68>, and ye shall carry <5674> them

over <5674> with you, and leave <3241> them in the lodging

<4411> place, where <0834> ye shall lodge <3885> this night

<3915>.

4 Then Joshua <3091> called <7121> the twelve men <0376>, whom

<0834> he had prepared <3559> of the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>, out of every tribe <7626> a man <0376>:

5 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto them, Pass <5674> over

<5674> before <6440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <3068> your God

<0430> into <0413> the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, and take

<7311> ye up every man <0376> of you a stone <68> upon his

shoulder <7926>, according unto the number <4557> of the tribes

<7626> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>:

6 That this <2063> may be a sign <0226> among <7130> you,

[that] when <3588> your children <1121> ask <7592> [their

fathers] in time <4279> to come <4279>, saying <0559>, What

<4100> [mean] ye by these <0428> stones <68>?

7 Then ye shall answer <0559> them, That the waters <4325> of

Jordan <3383> were cut <3772> off before <6440> the ark <0727>

of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>; when it passed <5674>

over <5674> Jordan <3383>, the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383>

were cut <3772> off: and these <0428> stones <68> shall be for a

memorial <2146> unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478> for

ever <5769>.

8 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did <6213> so <3651>

as Joshua <3091> commanded <6680>, and took <5375> up twelve

stones <68> out of the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, as the

LORD <3068> spake <1696> unto Joshua <3091>, according to the

number <4557> of the tribes <7626> of the children <1121> of

Israel <3478>, and carried <5674> them over <5674> with them

unto the place where <0413> they lodged <4411>, and laid <3241>

them down there <8033>.

9 And Joshua <3091> set <6965> up twelve stones <68> in the

midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, in the place where the feet

<7272> of the priests <3548> which bare <5375> the ark <0727> of

the covenant <1285> stood <4673>: and they are there <8033> unto

this <2063> day <3117>.

10. For the priests <3548> which bare <5375> the ark <0727>

stood <5975> in the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, until <5704>

every <3605> thing was finished <8552> that the LORD <3068>

commanded <6680> Joshua <3091> to speak <1696> unto the people

<5971>, according to all <3605> that Moses <4872> commanded

<6680> Joshua <3091>: and the people <5971> hasted <4116> and

passed <5674> over <5674>.

11 And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> all <3605> the

people <5971> were clean <8552> passed <5674> over <5674>, that

the ark <0727> of the LORD <3068> passed <5674> over <5674>, and

the priests <3548>, in the presence <6440> of the people <5971>.

12 And the children <1121> of Reuben <7205>, and the children

<1121> of Gad <1410>, and half <2677> the tribe <7626> of

Manasseh <4519>, passed <5674> over <5674> armed <2571> before

<6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, as Moses <4872>

spake <1696> unto them:

13 About forty <0705> thousand <0505> prepared <2502> for war

<6635> passed <5674> over <5674> before <6440> the LORD <3068>

unto battle <4421>, to the plains <6160> of Jericho <3405>.

14 On that day <3117> the LORD <3068> magnified <1431> Joshua

<3091> in the sight <5869> of all <3605> Israel <3478>; and they

feared <3372> him, as they feared <3372> Moses <4872>, all

<3605> the days <3117> of his life <2416>.

15 And the LORD <3068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, saying

<0559>,

16 Command <6680> the priests <3548> that bear <5375> the ark

<0727> of the testimony <5715>, that they come <5927> up out of

Jordan <3383>.

17 Joshua <3091> therefore commanded <6680> the priests <3548>,

saying <0559>, Come <5927> ye up out of Jordan <3383>.

18 And it came <1961> to pass, when the priests <3548> that

bare <5375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD

<3068> were come <5927> up out of the midst <8432> of Jordan

<3383>, [and] the soles <3709> of the priests <3548>' feet

<7272> were lifted <5423> up unto the dry <2724> land, that the

waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> returned <7725> unto their place

<4725>, and flowed <3212> over <5921> all <3605> his banks

<1415>, as [they did] before.

19 And the people <5971> came <5927> up out of Jordan <3383> on

the tenth <6218> [day] of the first <7223> month <2320>, and

encamped <2583> in Gilgal <1537>, in the east <4217> border

<7097> of Jericho <3405>.

20. And those <0428> twelve stones <68>, which <0834> they took

<3947> out of Jordan <3383>, did Joshua <3091> pitch <6965> in

Gilgal <1537>.

21 And he spake <0559> unto the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>, saying <0559>, When <0834> your children <1121> shall

ask <7592> their fathers <1> in time <4279> to come <4279>,

saying <0559>, What <4100> [mean] these <0428> stones <68>?

22 Then ye shall let your children <1121> know <3045>, saying

<0559>, Israel <3478> came <5674> over <5674> this <2088> Jordan

<3383> on dry <3004> land.

23 For the LORD <3068> your God <0430> dried <3001> up the

waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> from before <6440> you, until

<5704> ye were passed <5674> over <5674>, as the LORD <3068>

your God <0430> did <6213> to the Red <5488> sea <3220>, which

<0834> he dried <3001> up from before <6440> us, until <5704> we

were gone <5674> over <5674>:

24 That all <3605> the people <5971> of the earth <0776> might

know <3045> the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068>, that it [is]

mighty <2389>: that ye might fear <3372> the LORD <3068> your

God <0430> for ever.

Joshua 5

1. And it came <1961> to pass, when all <3605> the kings <4428>

of the Amorites <0567>, which <0834> [were] on the side <5676>

of Jordan <3383> westward <3220>, and all <3605> the kings

<4428> of the Canaanites <3669>, which <0834> [were] by the sea

<3220>, heard <8085> that the LORD <3068> had dried <3001> up

the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> from before <6440> the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>, until <5704> we were passed

<5674> over <5674>, that their heart <3824> melted <4549>,

neither <3808> was there spirit <7307> in them any more <5750>,

because <6440> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

2 At that time <6256> the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua

<3091>, Make <6213> thee sharp <6697> knives <2719>, and

circumcise <4135> again <7725> the children <1121> of Israel

<3478> the second <8145> time.

3 And Joshua <3091> made <6213> him sharp <6697> knives <2719>,

and circumcised <4135> the children <1121> of Israel <3478> at

<0413> the hill <1389> of the foreskins <6190>.

4 And this <2088> [is] the cause <1697> why Joshua <3091> did

circumcise <4135>: All <3605> the people <5971> that came <3318>

out of Egypt <4714>, [that were] males <2145>, [even] all <3605>

the men <0582> of war <4421>, died <4191> in the wilderness

<4057> by the way <1870>, after they came <3318> out of Egypt

<4714>.

5 Now <3588> all <3605> the people <5971> that came <3318> out

were circumcised <4135>: but all <3605> the people <5971> [that

were] born <3209> in the wilderness <4057> by the way <1870> as

they came <3318> forth <3318> out of Egypt <4714>, [them] they

had not circumcised <4135>.

6 For the children <1121> of Israel <3478> walked <1980> forty

<0705> years <8141> in the wilderness <4057>, till <5704> all

<3605> the people <1471> [that were] men <0582> of war <4421>,

which came <3318> out of Egypt <4714>, were consumed <8552>,

because <0834> they obeyed <8085> not the voice <6963> of the

LORD <3068>: unto whom the LORD <3068> sware <7650> that he

would not shew <7200> them the land <0776>, which <0834> the

LORD <3068> sware <7650> unto their fathers <1> that he would

give <5414> us, a land <0776> that floweth <2100> with milk

<2461> and honey <1706>.

7 And their children <1121>, [whom] he raised <6965> up in

their stead <8478>, them Joshua <3091> circumcised <4135>: for

they were uncircumcised <6189>, because <3588> they had not

circumcised <4135> them by the way <1870>.

8 And it came <1961> to pass, when <0834> they had done <8552>

circumcising <4135> all <3605> the people <1471>, that they

abode <3427> in their places <8478> in the camp <4264>, till

<5704> they were whole <2421>.

9 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, This day

<3117> have I rolled <1556> away the reproach <2781> of Egypt

<4714> from off <5921> you. Wherefore the name <8034> of the

place <4725> is called <7121> Gilgal <1537> unto this <2088> day

<3117>.

10. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> encamped <2583> in

Gilgal <1537>, and kept <6213> the passover <6453> on the

fourteenth day <3117> of the month <2320> at even <6153> in the

plains <6160> of Jericho <3405>.

11 And they did eat <0398> of the old <5669> corn <5669> of the

land <0776> on the morrow <4283> after the passover <6453>,

unleavened <4682> cakes <4682>, and parched [corn] in the

selfsame day <3117>.

12 And the manna <4478> ceased <7673> on the morrow <4283>

after they had eaten <0398> of the old <5669> corn <5669> of the

land <0776>; neither <3808> had <1961> the children <1121> of

Israel <3478> manna <4478> any more <5750>; but they did eat

<0398> of the fruit <8393> of the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>

that year <8141>.

13. And it came <1961> to pass, when Joshua <3091> was by

Jericho <3405>, that he lifted <5375> up his eyes <5869> and

looked <7200>, and, behold <2009>, there stood <5975> a man

<0376> over <5048> against <5048> him with his sword <2719>

drawn <8025> in his hand <3027>: and Joshua <3091> went <3212>

unto him, and said <0559> unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for

our adversaries <6862>?

14 And he said <0559>, Nay <3808>; but [as] captain <8269> of

the host <6635> of the LORD <0113> am I now <6258> come <0935>.

And Joshua <3091> fell <5307> on <0413> his face <6440> to the

earth <0776>, and did worship <7812>, and said <0559> unto him,

What <4100> saith <1696> my lord <3068> unto his servant <5650>?

15 And the captain <8269> of the LORD'S <3068> host <6635> said

<0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Loose <5394> thy shoe <5275> from off

<5921> thy foot <7272>; for the place <4725> whereon thou

standest <5975> [is] holy <6944>. And Joshua <3091> did <6213>

so <3651>.

Joshua 6

1. Now Jericho <3405> was straitly shut <5462> up because

<6440> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: none <0369> went

<3318> out, and none <0369> came <0935> in.

2 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, See

<7200>, I have given <5414> into thine hand <3027> Jericho

<3405>, and the king <4428> thereof, [and] the mighty <1368> men

of valour <2428>.

3 And ye shall compass <5437> the city <5892>, all <3605> [ye]

men <0582> of war <4421>, [and] go <5362> round <5362> about the

city <5892> once <0259>. Thus <3541> shalt thou do <6213> six

<8337> days <3117>.

4 And seven <7651> priests <3548> shall bear <5375> before

<6440> the ark <0727> seven <7651> trumpets <7782> of rams

<3104>' horns <3104>: and the seventh <7637> day <3117> ye shall

compass <5437> the city <5892> seven <7651> times <6471>, and

the priests <3548> shall blow <8628> with the trumpets <7782>.

5 And it shall come <1961> to pass, that when they make a long

<4900> [blast] with the ram's <3104> horn <7161>, [and] when ye

hear <8085> the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>, all <3605>

the people <5971> shall shout <7321> with a great <1419> shout

<8643>; and the wall <2346> of the city <5892> shall fall <5307>

down flat <8478>, and the people <5971> shall ascend <5927> up

every man <0376> straight before <5048> him.

6. And Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126> called <7121>

the priests <3548>, and said <0559> unto them, Take <5375> up

the ark <0727> of the covenant <1285>, and let seven <7651>

priests <3548> bear <5375> seven <7651> trumpets <7782> of rams

<3104>' horns <3104> before <6440> the ark <0727> of the LORD

<3068>.

7 And he said <0559> unto the people <5971>, Pass <5674> on,

and compass <5437> the city <5892>, and let him that is armed

<2502> pass <5674> on <0413> before <6440> the ark <0727> of the

LORD <3068>.

8 And it came <1961> to pass, when Joshua <3091> had spoken

<0559> unto the people <5971>, that the seven <7651> priests

<3548> bearing <5375> the seven <7651> trumpets <7782> of rams

<3104>' horns passed <5674> on <0413> before <6440> the LORD

<3068>, and blew <8628> with the trumpets <7782>: and the ark

<0727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> followed them.

9 And the armed <2502> men went <1980> before <6440> the

priests <3548> that blew <8628> with the trumpets <7782>, and

the rereward <0622> came <1980> after <0310> the ark <0727>,

[the priests <3548>] going <1980> on, and blowing <8628> with

the trumpets <7782>.

10 And Joshua <3091> had commanded <6680> the people <5971>,

saying <0559>, Ye shall not shout <7321>, nor <3808> make any

noise <8085> with your voice <6963>, neither <3808> shall [any]

word <1697> proceed <3318> out of your mouth <6310>, until

<5704> the day <3117> I bid <0559> you shout <7321>; then shall

ye shout <7321>.

11 So the ark <0727> of the LORD <3068> compassed <5437> the

city <5892>, going <5362> about <5362> [it] once <0259>: and

they came <0935> into the camp <4264>, and lodged <3885> in the

camp <4264>.

12 And Joshua <3091> rose <7925> early <7925> in the morning

<1242>, and the priests <3548> took <5375> up the ark <0727> of

the LORD <3068>.

13 And seven <7651> priests bearing <5375> seven <7651>

trumpets <7782> of rams <3104>' horns <3104> before <6440> the

ark <0727> of the LORD <3068> went <1980> on <0413> continually

<1980>, and blew <8628> with the trumpets <7782>: and the armed

<2502> men went <1980> before <6440> them; but the rereward

<0622> came <1980> after <0310> the ark <0727> of the LORD

<3068>, [the priests <3548>] going <1980> on <0413>, and blowing

<8628> with the trumpets <7782>.

14 And the second <8145> day <3117> they compassed <5437> the

city <5892> once <0259>, and returned <7725> into the camp

<4264>: so <3541> they did <6213> six <8337> days <3117>.

15 And it came <1961> to pass on the seventh <7637> day <3117>,

that they rose <7925> early <7925> about the dawning <5927> of

the day <7837>, and compassed <5437> the city <5892> after the

same <2088> manner <4941> seven <7651> times <6471>: only <7535>

on that day <3117> they compassed <5437> the city <5892> seven

<7651> times <6471>.

16 And it came <1961> to pass at the seventh <7637> time <6471>,

when the priests <3548> blew <8628> with the trumpets <7782>,

Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto the people <5971>, Shout <7321>;

for the LORD <3068> hath given <5414> you the city <5892>.

17. And the city <5892> shall be accursed <2764>, [even] it,

and all <3605> that [are] therein, to the LORD <3068>: only

<7535> Rahab <7343> the harlot <2181> shall live <2421>, she and

all <3605> that [are] with her in the house <1004>, because

<3588> she hid <2244> the messengers <4397> that we sent <7971>.

18 And ye, in any wise keep <8104> [yourselves] from the

accursed <2764> thing, lest <6435> ye make [yourselves] accursed

<2764>, when ye take <3947> of the accursed <2764> thing, and

make <7760> the camp <4264> of Israel <3478> a curse <2764>, and

trouble <5916> it.

19 But all <3605> the silver <3701>, and gold <2091>, and

vessels <3627> of brass <5178> and iron <1270>, [are]

consecrated <6944> unto the LORD <3068>: they shall come <0935>

into the treasury <0214> of the LORD <3068>.

20 So the people <5971> shouted <7321> when [the priests

<3548>] blew <8628> with the trumpets <7782>: and it came <1961>

to pass, when the people <5971> heard <8085> the sound <6963> of

the trumpet <7782>, and the people <5971> shouted <7321> with a

great <1419> shout <8643>, that the wall <2346> fell <5307> down

flat <8478>, so that the people <5971> went <5927> up into the

city <5892>, every man <0376> straight before <5048> him, and

they took <3920> the city <5892>.

21 And they utterly destroyed <2763> all <3605> that [was] in

the city <5892>, both man <0376> and woman <0802>, young <5288>

and old <5288>, and ox <7794>, and sheep <7716>, and ass <2543>,

with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>.

22 But Joshua <3091> had said <0559> unto the two <8147> men

<0582> that had spied <7270> out the country <0776>, Go <0935>

into the harlot's <2181> house <1004>, and bring <3318> out

thence <8033> the woman <0802>, and all <3605> that she hath, as

ye sware <7650> unto her.

23 And the young <5288> men that were spies <7270> went <0935>

in, and brought <3318> out Rahab <7343>, and her father <1>, and

her mother <0517>, and her brethren <0251>, and all <3605> that

she had; and they brought <3318> out all <3605> her kindred

<4940>, and left <3241> them without <2351> the camp <4264> of

Israel <3478>.

24 And they burnt <8313> the city <5892> with fire <0784>, and

all <3605> that [was] therein: only <7535> the silver <3701>,

and the gold <2091>, and the vessels <3627> of brass <5178> and

of iron <1270>, they put <5414> into the treasury <0214> of the

house <1004> of the LORD <3068>.

25 And Joshua <3091> saved <2421> Rahab <7343> the harlot

<2181> alive <2421>, and her father's <1> household <1004>, and

all <3605> that she had; and she dwelleth <3427> in Israel

<3478> [even] unto this <2088> day <3117>; because <3588> she

hid <2244> the messengers <4397>, which <0834> Joshua <3091>

sent <7971> to spy <7270> out Jericho <3405>.

26 And Joshua <3091> adjured <7650> [them] at that time <6256>,

saying <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] the man <0376> before <6440>

the LORD <3068>, that riseth <6965> up and buildeth <1129> this

<2063> city <5892> Jericho <3405>: he shall lay the foundation

<3245> thereof in his firstborn <1060>, and in his youngest

<6810> [son] shall he set <5324> up the gates <1817> of it.

27 So the LORD <3068> was with Joshua <3091>; and his fame

<8089> was [noised] throughout all <3605> the country <0776>.

Joshua 7

1. But the children <1121> of Israel <3478> committed <4600> a

trespass <4604> in the accursed <2764> thing: for Achan <5912>,

the son <1121> of Carmi <3756>, the son <1121> of Zabdi <2067>,

the son <1121> of Zerah <2226>, of the tribe <4294> of Judah

<3063>, took <3947> of the accursed <2764> thing: and the anger

<0639> of the LORD <3068> was kindled <2734> against the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

2 And Joshua <3091> sent <7971> men <0582> from Jericho <3405>

to Ai <5857>, which <0834> [is] beside <5973> Bethaven <1007>,

on the east <6924> side of Bethel <1008>, and spake <0559> unto

them, saying <0559>, Go <5927> up and view <7270> the country

<0776>. And the men <0582> went <5927> up and viewed <7370> Ai

<5857>.

3 And they returned <7725> to Joshua <3091>, and said <0559>

unto him, Let not all <3605> the people <5971> go <5927> up; but

let about two or <0176> three <7969> thousand <0505> men <0376>

go <5927> up and smite <6221> Ai <5857>; [and] make not all

<3605> the people <5971> to labour <3021> thither <8033>; for

they [are but] few <4592>.

4 So there went <5927> up thither <8033> of the people <5971>

about three <7969> thousand <0505> men <0376>: and they fled

<5127> before <6440> the men <0582> of Ai <5857>.

5 And the men <0582> of Ai <5857> smote <5221> of them about

thirty <7970> and six <8337> men <0376>: for they chased <7291>

them [from] before <6440> the gate <8179> [even] unto Shebarim

<7671>, and smote <5221> them in the going <4174> down <4174>:

wherefore the hearts <3824> of the people <5971> melted <4549>,

and became <1961> as water <4325>.

6. And Joshua <3091> rent <7167> his clothes <8071>, and fell

<5307> to the earth <0776> upon his face <6440> before <6440>

the ark <0727> of the LORD <3068> until <5704> the eventide

<6153>, he and the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, and put

<5927> dust <6083> upon their heads <7218>.

7 And Joshua <3091> said <0559>, Alas <0160>, O Lord <0136> GOD

<3069>, wherefore <4100> hast thou at all brought <5674> this

<2088> people <5971> over <5674> Jordan <3383>, to deliver

<5414> us into the hand <3027> of the Amorites <0567>, to

destroy <6> us? would <3863> to God we had been content <2974>,

and dwelt <3427> on the other <5676> side <5676> Jordan <3383>!

8 O Lord <0136>, what <4100> shall I say <0559>, when <6310>

Israel <3478> turneth <2015> their backs <6203> before <6440>

their enemies <0341>!

9 For the Canaanites <3669> and all <3605> the inhabitants

<3427> of the land <0776> shall hear <8085> [of it], and shall

environ <5437> us round <5921>, and cut <3772> off our name

<8034> from the earth <0776>: and what <4100> wilt thou do

<6213> unto thy great <1419> name <8034>?

10. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Get

<6965> thee up; wherefore <4100> liest <5307> thou thus <2088>

upon thy face <6440>?

11 Israel <3478> hath sinned <2398>, and they have also <1571>

transgressed <5674> my covenant <1285> which <0834> I commanded

<6680> them: for they have even <1571> taken <3947> of the

accursed <2764> thing, and have also <1571> stolen <1589>, and

dissembled <3584> also <1571>, and they have put <7760> [it]

even <1571> among their own stuff <3627>.

12 Therefore the children <1121> of Israel <3478> could <3201>

not stand <6965> before <6440> their enemies <0341>, [but]

turned <6437> [their] backs <6203> before <6440> their enemies

<0341>, because <3588> they were accursed <2764>: neither <3808>

will I be with you any more <3254>, except ye destroy <8045> the

accursed <2764> from among <7130> you.

13 Up, sanctify <6942> the people <5971>, and say <0559>,

Sanctify <6942> yourselves against to morrow <4279>: for thus

<3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>,

[There is] an accursed <2764> thing in the midst <7130> of thee,

O Israel <3478>: thou canst <3201> not stand <6965> before

<6440> thine enemies <0341>, until <5704> ye take <5493> away

the accursed <2764> thing from among <7130> you.

14 In the morning <1242> therefore ye shall be brought <7126>

according to your tribes <7626>: and it shall be, [that] the

tribe <7626> which <0834> the LORD <3068> taketh <3920> shall

come <7126> according to the families <4940> [thereof]; and the

family <4940> which <0834> the LORD <3068> shall take <3920>

shall come <7126> by households <1004>; and the household <1004>

which <0834> the LORD <3068> shall take <3920> shall come <7126>

man <1397> by man <1397>.

15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken <3920> with the

accursed <2764> thing shall be burnt <8313> with fire <0784>, he

and all <3605> that he hath: because <3588> he hath transgressed

<5674> the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>, and because

<3588> he hath wrought <6213> folly <5039> in Israel <3478>.

16. So Joshua <3091> rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning

<1242>, and brought <7126> Israel <3478> by their tribes <7626>;

and the tribe <7626> of Judah <3063> was taken <3920>:

17 And he brought <7126> the family <4940> of Judah <3063>; and

he took <3920> the family <4940> of the Zarhites <2227>: and he

brought <7126> the family <4940> of the Zarhites <2227> man

<1397> by man <1397>; and Zabdi <2067> was taken <3920>:

18 And he brought <7126> his household <1004> man <1397> by man

<1397>; and Achan <5912>, the son <1121> of Carmi <3756>, the

son <1121> of Zabdi <2067>, the son <1121> of Zerah <2226>, of

the tribe <4294> of Judah <3063>, was taken <3920>.

19 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto Achan <5912>, My son

<1121>, give <7760>, I pray <4994> thee, glory <3519> to the

LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, and make <5414>

confession <8426> unto him; and tell <5046> me now <4994> what

<4100> thou hast done <6213>; hide <3582> [it] not from me.

20 And Achan <5912> answered <6030> Joshua <3091>, and said

<0559>, Indeed <0546> I have sinned <2398> against the LORD

<3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>, and thus <2063> and thus

<2063> have I done <6213>:

21 When I saw <7200> among the spoils <7998> a goodly <2896>

Babylonish <8152> garment <0155>, and two <8147> hundred <3967>

shekels <8255> of silver <3701>, and a wedge <6956> of gold

<2091> of fifty <2572> shekels <8255> weight <4948>, then I

coveted <2530> them, and took <3947> them; and, behold <2009>,

they [are] hid <2934> in the earth <0776> in the midst <8432> of

my tent <0168>, and the silver <3701> under <8478> it.

22 So Joshua <3091> sent <7971> messengers <4397>, and they ran

<7323> unto the tent <0168>; and, behold <2009>, [it was] hid

<2934> in his tent <0168>, and the silver <3701> under <8478> it.

23 And they took <3947> them out of the midst <8432> of the

tent <0168>, and brought <0935> them unto Joshua <3091>, and

unto all <3605> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and laid

<3332> them out before <6440> the LORD <3068>.

24 And Joshua <3091>, and all <3605> Israel <3478> with him,

took <3947> Achan <5912> the son <1121> of Zerah <2226>, and the

silver <3701>, and the garment <0155>, and the wedge <6956> of

gold <2091>, and his sons <1121>, and his daughters <1121>, and

his oxen <7794>, and his asses <2543>, and his sheep <6629>, and

his tent <0168>, and all <3605> that he had: and they brought

<5927> them unto the valley <6010> of Achor <5911>.

25 And Joshua <3091> said <0559>, Why <4100> hast thou troubled

<5916> us? the LORD <3068> shall trouble <5916> thee this <2088>

day <3117>. And all <3605> Israel <3478> stoned <5619> him with

stones <68>, and burned <8313> them with fire <0784>, after they

had stoned <7275> them with stones <68>.

26 And they raised <6965> over <5921> him a great <1419> heap

<1530> of stones <68> unto this <2088> day <3117>. So the LORD

<3068> turned <7725> from the fierceness <2740> of his anger

<0639>. Wherefore the name <8034> of that place <4725> was

called <7121>, The valley <6010> of Achor <5911>, unto this

<2088> day <3117>.

Joshua 8

1. And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Fear

<3372> not, neither <0408> be thou dismayed <2865>: take <3947>

all <3605> the people <5971> of war <4421> with thee, and arise

<6965>, go <5927> up to Ai <5857>: see <7200>, I have given

<5414> into thy hand <3027> the king <4428> of Ai <5857>, and

his people <5971>, and his city <5892>, and his land <0776>:

2 And thou shalt do <6213> to Ai <5857> and her king <4428> as

thou didst <6213> unto Jericho <3405> and her king <4428>: only

<7535> the spoil <7998> thereof, and the cattle <0929> thereof,

shall ye take for a prey <0962> unto yourselves: lay <7760> thee

an ambush <0693> for the city <5892> behind <0310> it.

3. So Joshua <3091> arose <6965>, and all <3605> the people

<5971> of war <4421>, to go <5927> up against Ai <5857>: and

Joshua <3091> chose <0977> out thirty <7970> thousand <0505>

mighty <1368> men <0376> of valour <2428>, and sent <7971> them

away by night <3915>.

4 And he commanded <6680> them, saying <0559>, Behold <7200>,

ye shall lie <0693> in wait <0693> against the city <5892>,

[even] behind <0310> the city <5892>: go <7368> not very <3966>

far <7368> from the city <5892>, but be ye all <3605> ready

<3559>:

5 And I, and all <3605> the people <5971> that [are] with me,

will approach <7126> unto the city <5892>: and it shall come

<1961> to pass, when <3588> they come <3318> out against <7125>

us, as at the first <7223>, that we will flee <5127> before

<6440> them,

6 (For they will come <3318> out after <0310> us) till <5704>

we have drawn <5423> them from the city <5892>; for they will

say <0559>, They flee <5127> before <6440> us, as at the first

<7223>: therefore we will flee <5127> before <6440> them.

7 Then ye shall rise <6965> up from the ambush <0693>, and

seize <3423> upon the city <5892>: for the LORD <3068> your God

<0430> will deliver <5414> it into your hand <3027>.

8 And it shall be, when ye have taken <8610> the city <5892>,

[that] ye shall set <3341> the city <5892> on fire <0784>:

according to the commandment <1697> of the LORD <3068> shall ye

do <6213>. See <7200>, I have commanded <6680> you.

9 Joshua <3091> therefore sent <7971> them forth: and they went

<3212> to lie in ambush <0693>, and abode <3427> between <0996>

Bethel <1008> and Ai <5857>, on the west <3220> side of Ai

<5857>: but Joshua <3091> lodged <3885> that night <3915> among

<8432> the people <5971>.

10 And Joshua <3091> rose <7925> up early <7925> in the morning

<1242>, and numbered <6485> the people <5971>, and went <5927>

up, he and the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, before <6440> the

people <5971> to Ai <5857>.

11 And all <3605> the people <5971>, [even the people] of war

<4421> that [were] with him, went <5927> up, and drew nigh

<5066>, and came <0935> before <6440> the city <5892>, and

pitched <2583> on the north <6828> side of Ai <5857>: now [there

was] a valley <1516> between <0996> them and Ai <5857>.

12 And he took <3947> about five <2568> thousand <0505> men

<0376>, and set <7760> them to lie in ambush <0693> between

<0996> Bethel <1008> and Ai <5857>, on the west <3220> side of

the city <5892>.

13 And when they had set <7760> the people <5971>, [even] all

<3605> the host <4264> that [was] on the north <6828> of the

city <5892>, and their liers in wait <6119> on the west <3220>

of the city <5892>, Joshua <3091> went <3212> that night <3915>

into the midst <8432> of the valley <6010>.

14 And it came <1961> to pass, when the king <4428> of Ai

<5857> saw <7200> [it], that they hasted <4116> and rose <7925>

up early <7925>, and the men <0582> of the city <5892> went

<3318> out against <7125> Israel <3478> to battle <4421>, he and

all <3605> his people <5971>, at a time appointed <4150>, before

<6440> the plain <6160>; but he wist <3045> not that [there

were] liers in ambush <0693> against him behind <0310> the city

<5892>.

15 And Joshua <3091> and all <3605> Israel <3478> made as if

they were beaten <5060> before <6440> them, and fled <5127> by

the way <1870> of the wilderness <4057>.

16 And all <3605> the people <5971> that [were] in Ai <5857>

were called <2199> together to pursue <7291> after <0310> them:

and they pursued <7291> after <0310> Joshua <3091>, and were

drawn <5423> away from the city <5892>.

17 And there was not a man <0376> left <7604> in Ai <5857> or

Bethel <1008>, that went <3318> not out after <0310> Israel

<3478>: and they left <5800> the city <5892> open <6605>, and

pursued <7291> after Israel <3478>.

18 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Stretch

<5186> out the spear <3591> that [is] in thy hand <3027> toward

<0413> Ai <5857>; for I will give <5414> it into thine hand

<3027>. And Joshua <3091> stretched <5186> out the spear <3591>

that [he had] in his hand <3027> toward <0413> the city <5892>.

19 And the ambush <0693> arose <6965> quickly <4120> out of

their place <4725>, and they ran <7323> as soon as he had

stretched <5186> out his hand <3027>: and they entered <0935>

into the city <5892>, and took <3920> it, and hasted <4116> and

set the city <5892> on fire <0784>.

20 And when the men <0582> of Ai <5857> looked <6437> behind

<0310> them, they saw <7200>, and, behold <2009>, the smoke

<6227> of the city <5892> ascended <5927> up to heaven <8064>,

and they had no <3808> power <3027> to flee <5127> this <2007>

way <2008> or that way <2008>: and the people <5971> that fled

<5127> to the wilderness <4057> turned <2015> back <2015> upon

the pursuers <7291>.

21 And when Joshua <3091> and all <3605> Israel <3478> saw

<7200> that the ambush <0693> had taken <3920> the city <5892>,

and that the smoke <6227> of the city <5892> ascended <5927>,

then they turned <7725> again <7725>, and slew <5221> the men

<0582> of Ai <5857>.

22 And the other <0428> issued <3318> out of the city <5892>

against <7125> them; so they were in the midst <8432> of Israel

<3478>, some <0428> on this <2088> side, and some <0428> on that

side: and they smote <5221> them, so <5704> that they let none

<1115> of them remain <8300> or escape <6412>.

23. And the king <4428> of Ai <5857> they took <8610> alive

<2416>, and brought <7126> him to Joshua <3091>.

24 And it came <1961> to pass, when Israel <3478> had made an

end <3615> of slaying <2026> all <3605> the inhabitants <3427>

of Ai <5857> in the field <7704>, in the wilderness <4057>

wherein <0834> they chased <7291> them, and when they were all

<3605> fallen <5307> on the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>,

until <5704> they were consumed <8552>, that all <3605> the

Israelites <3478> returned <7725> unto Ai <5857>, and smote

<5221> it with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>.

25 And [so] it was, [that] all <3605> that fell <5307> that day

<3117>, both of men <0376> and women <0802>, [were] twelve

thousand <0505>, [even] all <3605> the men <0582> of Ai <5857>.

26 For Joshua <3091> drew <7725> not his hand <3027> back

<7725>, wherewith <0834> he stretched <5186> out the spear

<3591>, until <5704> he had utterly destroyed <2763> all <3605>

the inhabitants <3427> of Ai <5857>.

27 Only <7535> the cattle <0929> and the spoil <7998> of that

city <5892> Israel <3478> took for a prey <0962> unto themselves

<1992>, according unto the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> which

<0834> he commanded <6680> Joshua <3091>.

28 And Joshua <3091> burnt <8313> Ai <5857>, and made <7760> it

an heap <8510> for ever <5769>, [even] a desolation <8077> unto

this <2088> day <3117>.

29 And the king <4428> of Ai <5857> he hanged <8518> on <5921>

a tree <6086> until <5704> eventide: and as soon as the sun

<8121> was down <0935>, Joshua <3091> commanded <6680> that they

should take <3381> his carcase <5038> down <3381> from the tree

<6086>, and cast <7993> it at <0413> the entering <6607> of the

gate <8179> of the city <5892>, and raise <6965> thereon <5921>

a great <1419> heap <1530> of stones <68>, [that remaineth] unto

this <2088> day <3117>.

30. Then <0227> Joshua <3091> built <1129> an altar <4196> unto

the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478> in mount <2022> Ebal

<5858>,

31 As Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068>

commanded <6680> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, as it is

written <3789> in the book <5612> of the law <8451> of Moses

<4872>, an altar <4196> of whole <8003> stones <68>, over <5921>

which <0834> no <3808> man hath lift <5130> up [any] iron <1270>:

and they offered <5927> thereon <5921> burnt <5930> offerings

unto the LORD <3068>, and sacrificed <2076> peace <8002>

offerings.

32 And he wrote <3789> there <8033> upon the stones <68> a copy

<4932> of the law <8451> of Moses <4872>, which <0834> he wrote

<3789> in the presence <6440> of the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>.

33 And all <3605> Israel <3478>, and their elders <2205>, and

officers <7860>, and their judges <8199>, stood <5975> on this

<2088> side the ark <0727> and on that side before <5048> the

priests <3548> the Levites <3881>, which bare <5375> the ark

<0727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>, as well the

stranger <1616>, as he that was born <0249> among them; half

<2677> of them over <0413> against <4136> mount <2022> Gerizim

<1630>, and half <2677> of them over against <4136> mount <2022>

Ebal <5858>; as Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD

<3068> had commanded <6680> before <7223>, that they should

bless <1288> the people <5971> of Israel <3478>.

34 And afterward he read <7121> all <3605> the words <1697> of

the law <8451>, the blessings <1293> and cursings <7045>,

according to all <3605> that is written <3789> in the book

<5612> of the law <8451>.

35 There was not a word <1697> of all <3605> that Moses <4872>

commanded <6680>, which <0834> Joshua <3091> read <7121> not

before <5048> all <3605> the congregation <6951> of Israel

<3478>, with the women <0802>, and the little <2945> ones, and

the strangers <1616> that were conversant <1980> among <7130>

them.

Joshua 9

1. And it came <1961> to pass, when all <3605> the kings <4428>

which <0834> [were] on this side <5676> Jordan <3383>, in the

hills <2022>, and in the valleys <8219>, and in all <3605> the

coasts <2348> of the great <1419> sea <3220> over against <4136>

Lebanon <3844>, the Hittite <2850>, and the Amorite <0567>, the

Canaanite <3669>, the Perizzite <6522>, the Hivite <2340>, and

the Jebusite <2983>, heard <8085> [thereof];

2 That they gathered <6908> themselves together <3162>, to

fight <3898> with Joshua <3091> and with Israel <3478>, with one

<0259> accord <6310>.

3. And when the inhabitants <3427> of Gibeon <1391> heard

<8085> what Joshua <3091> had done <6213> unto Jericho <3405>

and to Ai <5857>,

4 They did <6213> work <6213> wilily <6195>, and went <3212>

and made as if they had been ambassadors <6735>, and took <3947>

old <1087> sacks <8242> upon their asses <2543>, and wine <3196>

bottles <4997>, old <1087>, and rent <1234>, and bound <6887> up;

5 And old <1087> shoes <5275> and clouted <2921> upon their

feet <7272>, and old <1087> garments <8008> upon them; and all

<3605> the bread <3899> of their provision <6718> was dry <3004>

[and] mouldy <5350>.

6 And they went <3212> to Joshua <3091> unto the camp <4264> at

Gilgal <1537>, and said <0559> unto him, and to the men <0376>

of Israel <3478>, We be come <0935> from a far <7350> country

<0776>: now <6258> therefore make <3772> ye a league <1285> with

us.

7 And the men <0376> of Israel <3478> said <0559> unto the

Hivites <2340>, Peradventure <0194> ye dwell <3427> among <7130>

us; and how <0349> shall we make <3772> a league <1285> with you?

8 And they said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, We [are] thy

servants <5650>. And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto them, Who

<4310> [are] ye? and from whence <0370> come <0935> ye?

9 And they said <0559> unto him, From a very <3966> far <7350>

country <0776> thy servants <5650> are come <0935> because of

the name <8034> of the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>: for we have

heard <8085> the fame <8089> of him, and all <3605> that he did

<6213> in Egypt <4714>,

10 And all <3605> that he did <6213> to the two <8147> kings

<4428> of the Amorites <0567>, that [were] beyond <5676> Jordan

<3383>, to Sihon <5511> king <4428> of Heshbon <2809>, and to Og

<5747> king <4428> of Bashan <1316>, which <0834> [was] at

Ashtaroth <6252>.

11 Wherefore our elders <2205> and all <3605> the inhabitants

<3427> of our country <0776> spake <0559> to us, saying <0559>,

Take <3947> victuals <6720> with you for the journey <1870>, and

go <3212> to meet <7125> them, and say <0559> unto them, We

[are] your servants <5650>: therefore now <6258> make <3772> ye

a league <1285> with us.

12 This <2088> our bread <3899> we took hot <2525> [for] our

provision <6679> out of our houses <1004> on the day <3117> we

came <3318> forth <3318> to go <3212> unto you; but now <6258>,

behold <2009>, it is dry <3001>, and it is mouldy <5350>:

13 And these <0428> bottles <4997> of wine <3196>, which <0834>

we filled <4390>, [were] new <2319>; and, behold <2009>, they be

rent <1234>: and these <0428> our garments <8008> and our shoes

<5275> are become <1086> old <1086> by reason of the very <3966>

long <7230> journey <1870>.

14 And the men <0582> took <3947> of their victuals <6718>, and

asked <7592> not [counsel] at the mouth <6310> of the LORD

<3068>.

15. And Joshua <3091> made <6213> peace <7965> with them, and

made <6213> a league <1285> with them, to let them live <2421>:

and the princes <5387> of the congregation <5712> sware <7650>

unto them.

16 And it came <1961> to pass at the end <7097> of three <7969>

days <3117> after <0310> they had made <3772> a league <1285>

with them, that they heard <8085> that they [were] their

neighbours <7138>, and [that] they dwelt <3427> among <7130>

them.

17 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> journeyed <5265>,

and came <0935> unto their cities <5892> on the third <7992> day

<3117>. Now their cities <5892> [were] Gibeon <1391>, and

Chephirah <3716>, and Beeroth <0881>, and Kirjathjearim <7157>.

18 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> smote <5221> them

not, because <3588> the princes <5387> of the congregation

<5712> had sworn <7650> unto them by the LORD <3068> God <0430>

of Israel <3478>. And all <3605> the congregation <5712>

murmured <3885> against <5921> the princes <5387>.

19 But all <3605> the princes <5387> said <0559> unto all

<3605> the congregation <5712>, We have sworn <7650> unto them

by the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>: now <6258>

therefore we may <3201> not touch <5060> them.

20 This <2063> we will do <6213> to them; we will even let them

live <2421>, lest <3808> wrath <7110> be upon us, because <5921>

of the oath <7621> which <0834> we sware <7650> unto them.

21 And the princes <5387> said <0559> unto them, Let them live

<2421>; but let them be hewers <2404> of wood <6086> and drawers

<7579> of water <4325> unto all <3605> the congregation <5712>;

as the princes <5387> had promised <1696> them.

22. And Joshua <3091> called <7121> for them, and he spake

<1696> unto them, saying <0559>, Wherefore <4100> have ye

beguiled <7411> us, saying <0559>, We [are] very <3966> far

<7350> from you; when ye dwell <3427> among <7130> us?

23 Now <6258> therefore ye [are] cursed <0779>, and there shall

none <3808> of you be freed <3772> from being bondmen <5650>,

and hewers <2404> of wood <6086> and drawers <7579> of water

<4325> for the house <1004> of my God <0430>.

24 And they answered <6030> Joshua <3091>, and said <0559>,

Because <3588> it was certainly told <5046> thy servants <5650>,

how that the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> commanded <6680> his

servant <5650> Moses <4872> to give <5414> you all <3605> the

land <0776>, and to destroy <8045> all <3605> the inhabitants

<3427> of the land <0776> from before <6440> you, therefore we

were sore <3966> afraid <3372> of our lives <5315> because

<6440> of you, and have done <6213> this <2088> thing <1697>.

25 And now <6258>, behold <2005>, we [are] in thine hand <3027>:

as it seemeth <5869> good <2896> and right <3477> unto thee to

do <6213> unto us, do <6213>.

26 And so <3651> did <6213> he unto them, and delivered <5337>

them out of the hand <3027> of the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>, that they slew <2026> them not.

27 And Joshua <3091> made <5414> them that day <3117> hewers

<2404> of wood <6086> and drawers <7579> of water <4325> for the

congregation <5712>, and for the altar <4196> of the LORD <3068>,

even unto this <2088> day <3117>, in the place <4725> which

<0834> he should choose <0977>.

Joshua 10

1. Now it came <1961> to pass, when <3588> Adonizedek <0139>

king <4428> of Jerusalem <3389> had heard <8085> how <3588>

Joshua <3091> had taken <3920> Ai <5857>, and had <1961> utterly

destroyed <2763> it; as he had <1961> done <6213> to Jericho

<3405> and her king <4428>, so <3651> he had <1961> done <6213>

to Ai <5857> and her king <4428>; and how <3588> the inhabitants

<3427> of Gibeon <1391> had <1961> made peace <7999> with Israel

<3478>, and were among <7130> them;

2 That they feared <3372> greatly <3966>, because <3588> Gibeon

<1391> [was] a great <1419> city <5892>, as one <0259> of the

royal <4467> cities <5892>, and because <3588> it [was] greater

<1419> than <4480> Ai <5857>, and all <3605> the men <0582>

thereof [were] mighty <1368>.

3 Wherefore Adonizedek <0139> king <4428> of Jerusalem <3389>

sent <7971> unto Hoham <1944> king <4428> of Hebron <2275>, and

unto Piram <6502> king <4428> of Jarmuth <3412>, and unto Japhia

<3309> king <4428> of Lachish <3923>, and unto Debir <1688> king

<4428> of Eglon <5700>, saying <0559>,

4 Come <5927> up unto me, and help <5826> me, that we may smite

<6221> Gibeon <1391>: for it hath made peace <7999> with Joshua

<3091> and with the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

5 Therefore the five <2568> kings <4428> of the Amorites <0567>,

the king <4428> of Jerusalem <3389>, the king <4428> of Hebron

<2275>, the king <4428> of Jarmuth <3412>, the king <4428> of

Lachish <3923>, the king <4428> of Eglon <5700>, gathered <0622>

themselves together, and went <5927> up, they and all <3605>

their hosts <4264>, and encamped <2583> before <5921> Gibeon

<1391>, and made war <3898> against <5921> it.

6 And the men <0582> of Gibeon <1391> sent <7971> unto Joshua

<3091> to the camp <4264> to Gilgal <1537>, saying <0559>, Slack

<7503> not thy hand <3027> from thy servants <5650>; come <5927>

up to us quickly <4120>, and save <3467> us, and help <5826> us:

for all the kings <4428> of the Amorites <0567> that dwell

<3427> in the mountains <2022> are gathered <6908> together

against <0413> us.

7. So Joshua <3091> ascended <5927> from Gilgal <1537>, he, and

all <3605> the people <5971> of war <4421> with him, and all

<3605> the mighty <1368> men of valour <2428>.

8 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Fear

<3372> them not: for I have delivered <5414> them into thine

hand <3027>; there shall not a man <0376> of them stand <5975>

before <6440> thee.

9 Joshua <3091> therefore came <0935> unto them suddenly <6597>,

[and] went <5927> up from Gilgal <1537> all <3605> night <3915>.

10 And the LORD <3068> discomfited <1949> them before <6440>

Israel <3478>, and slew <5221> them with a great <1419>

slaughter <4347> at Gibeon <1391>, and chased <7291> them along

the way <1870> that goeth <4609> up to Bethhoron <1032>, and

smote <5221> them to Azekah <5825>, and unto Makkedah <4719>.

11 And it came <1961> to pass, as they fled <5127> from before

<6440> Israel <3478>, [and] were in the going <4174> down <4174>

to Bethhoron <1032>, that the LORD <3068> cast <7993> down great

<1419> stones <68> from heaven <8064> upon them unto Azekah

<5825>, and they died <4191>: [they were] more <7227> which

<0834> died <4191> with hailstones than [they] whom <0834> the

children <1121> of Israel <3478> slew <2026> with the sword

<2719>.

12 Then <0227> spake <1696> Joshua <3091> to the LORD <3068> in

the day <3117> when the LORD <3068> delivered <5414> up the

Amorites <0567> before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>, and he said <0559> in the sight <5869> of Israel <3478>,

Sun <8121>, stand <1826> thou still <1826> upon Gibeon <1391>;

and thou, Moon <3394>, in the valley <6010> of Ajalon <0357>.

13 And the sun <8121> stood <1826> still <1826>, and the moon

<3394> stayed <5975>, until <5704> the people <1471> had avenged

<5358> themselves upon their enemies <0341>. [Is] not this

<1931> written <3789> in the book <5612> of Jasher <3477>? So

the sun <8121> stood <5975> still in the midst <2677> of heaven

<8064>, and hasted <0213> not to go <0935> down about a whole

<8549> day <3117>.

14 And there was no <3808> day <3117> like that before <6440>

it or after <0310> it, that the LORD <3068> hearkened <8085>

unto the voice <6963> of a man <0376>: for the LORD <3068>

fought <3898> for Israel <3478>.

15. And Joshua <3091> returned <7725>, and all <3605> Israel

<3478> with him, unto the camp <4264> to Gilgal <1537>.

16 But these <0428> five <2568> kings <4428> fled <5127>, and

hid <2244> themselves in a cave <4631> at Makkedah <4719>.

17 And it was told <5046> Joshua <3091>, saying <0559>, The

five <2568> kings <4428> are found <4672> hid <2244> in a cave

<4631> at Makkedah <4719>.

18 And Joshua <3091> said <0559>, Roll <1556> great <1419>

stones <68> upon the mouth <6310> of the cave <4631>, and set

<6485> men <0582> by it for to keep <8104> them:

19 And stay <5975> ye not, [but] pursue <7291> after <0310>

your enemies <0341>, and smite the hindmost <2179> of them;

suffer <5414> them not to enter <0935> into <0413> their cities

<5892>: for the LORD <3068> your God <0430> hath delivered

<5414> them into your hand <3027>.

20 And it came <1961> to pass, when Joshua <3091> and the

children <1121> of Israel <3478> had made an end <3615> of

slaying <5221> them with a very <3966> great <1419> slaughter

<4347>, till <5704> they were consumed <8552>, that the rest

<8300> [which] remained <8277> of them entered <0935> into

<0413> fenced <4013> cities <5892>.

21 And all <3605> the people <5971> returned <7725> to the camp

<4264> to Joshua <3091> at Makkedah <4719> in peace <7965>: none

<3808> moved <2782> his tongue <3956> against any of the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

22 Then said <0559> Joshua <3091>, Open <6605> the mouth <6310>

of the cave <4631>, and bring <3318> out those <0428> five

<2568> kings <4428> unto me out of the cave <4631>.

23 And they did <6213> so <3651>, and brought <3318> forth

<3318> those <0428> five <2568> kings <4428> unto him out of the

cave <4631>, the king <4428> of Jerusalem <3389>, the king

<4428> of Hebron <2275>, the king <4428> of Jarmuth <3412>, the

king <4428> of Lachish <3923>, [and] the king <4428> of Eglon

<5700>.

24 And it came <1961> to pass, when they brought <3318> out

those <0428> kings <4428> unto Joshua <3091>, that Joshua <3091>

called <7121> for all <3605> the men <0376> of Israel <3478>,

and said <0559> unto the captains <7101> of the men of war

<4421> which went <1980> with him, Come <7126> near <7126>, put

<7760> your feet <7272> upon the necks <6677> of these <0428>

kings <4428>. And they came <7126> near <7126>, and put <7760>

their feet <7272> upon the necks <6677> of them.

25 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto them, Fear <3372> not,

nor <0408> be dismayed <2865>, be strong <2388> and of good

courage <0553>: for thus <3602> shall the LORD <3068> do <6213>

to all <3605> your enemies <0341> against whom ye fight <3898>.

26 And afterward Joshua <3091> smote <5221> them, and slew

<4191> them, and hanged <8518> them on <5921> five <2568> trees

<6086>: and they were hanging <8518> upon the trees <6086> until

<5704> the evening <6153>.

27 And it came <1961> to pass at the time <6256> of the going

<0935> down of the sun <8121>, [that] Joshua <3091> commanded

<6680>, and they took <3381> them down <3381> off <5921> the

trees <6086>, and cast <7993> them into <0413> the cave <4631>

wherein they had been hid <2244>, and laid <7760> great <1419>

stones <68> in the cave's <4631> mouth <6310>, [which remain]

until <5704> this <2088> very <6106> day <3117>.

28. And that day <3117> Joshua <3091> took <3920> Makkedah

<4719>, and smote <5221> it with the edge <6310> of the sword

<2719>, and the king <4428> thereof he utterly destroyed <2763>,

them, and all <3605> the souls <5315> that [were] therein; he

let none <3808> remain <8300>: and he did <6213> to the king

<4428> of Makkedah <4719> as he did <6213> unto the king <4428>

of Jericho <3405>.

29 Then Joshua <3091> passed <5674> from Makkedah <4719>, and

all <3605> Israel <3478> with him, unto Libnah <3841>, and

fought <3898> against <5973> Libnah <3841>:

30 And the LORD <3068> delivered <5414> it also <1571>, and the

king <4428> thereof, into the hand <3027> of Israel <3478>; and

he smote <5221> it with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>, and

all <3605> the souls <5315> that [were] therein; he let none

<3808> remain <8300> in it; but did <6213> unto the king <4428>

thereof as he did <6213> unto the king <4428> of Jericho <3405>.

31 And Joshua <3091> passed <5674> from Libnah <3841>, and all

<3605> Israel <3478> with him, unto Lachish <3923>, and encamped

<2583> against <5921> it, and fought <3898> against <5921> it:

32 And the LORD <3068> delivered <5414> Lachish <3923> into the

hand <3027> of Israel <3478>, which took <3920> it on the second

<8145> day <3117>, and smote <5221> it with the edge <6310> of

the sword <2719>, and all <3605> the souls <5315> that [were]

therein, according to all <3605> that he had done <6213> to

Libnah <3841>.

33 Then <0227> Horam <2036> king <4428> of Gezer <1507> came

<5927> up to help <5826> Lachish <3923>; and Joshua <3091> smote

<5221> him and his people <5971>, until <5704> he had left

<7604> him none <1115> remaining <8300>.

34 And from Lachish <3923> Joshua <3091> passed <5674> unto

Eglon <5700>, and all <3605> Israel <3478> with him; and they

encamped <2583> against <5921> it, and fought <3898> against

<5921> it:

35 And they took <3920> it on that day <3117>, and smote <5221>

it with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>, and all <3605> the

souls <5315> that [were] therein he utterly destroyed <2763>

that day <3117>, according to all <3605> that he had done <6213>

to Lachish <3923>.

36 And Joshua <3091> went <5927> up from Eglon <5700>, and all

<3605> Israel <3478> with him, unto Hebron <2275>; and they

fought <3898> against <5921> it:

37 And they took <3920> it, and smote <5221> it with the edge

<6310> of the sword <2719>, and the king <4428> thereof, and all

<3605> the cities <5892> thereof, and all <3605> the souls

<5315> that [were] therein; he left <7604> none <3808> remaining

<8300>, according to all <3605> that he had done <6213> to Eglon

<5700>; but destroyed <2763> it utterly, and all <3605> the

souls <5315> that [were] therein.

38 And Joshua <3091> returned <7725>, and all <3605> Israel

<3478> with him, to Debir <1688>; and fought <3898> against

<5921> it:

39 And he took <3920> it, and the king <4428> thereof, and all

<3605> the cities <5892> thereof; and they smote <5221> them

with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>, and utterly destroyed

<2763> all <3605> the souls <5315> that [were] therein; he left

<7604> none <3808> remaining <8300>: as he had done <6213> to

Hebron <2275>, so <3651> he did <6213> to Debir <1688>, and to

the king <4428> thereof; as he had done <6213> also to Libnah

<3841>, and to her king <4428>.

40 So Joshua <3091> smote <5221> all <3605> the country <0776>

of the hills <2022>, and of the south <5045>, and of the vale

<8219>, and of the springs <0794>, and all <3605> their kings

<4428>: he left <7604> none <3808> remaining <8300>, but utterly

destroyed <2763> all <3605> that breathed <5397>, as the LORD

<3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478> commanded <6680>.

41 And Joshua <3091> smote <5221> them from Kadeshbarnea <6947>

even unto Gaza <5804>, and all <3605> the country <0776> of

Goshen <1657>, even unto Gibeon <1391>.

42 And all <3605> these <0428> kings <4428> and their land

<0776> did Joshua <3091> take <3920> at one <0259> time <6471>,

because <3588> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>

fought <3898> for Israel <3478>.

43 And Joshua <3091> returned <7725>, and all <3605> Israel

<3478> with him, unto the camp <4264> to Gilgal <1537>.

Joshua 11

1. And it came <1961> to pass, when Jabin <2985> king <4428> of

Hazor <2674> had heard <8085> [those things], that he sent

<7971> to Jobab <3103> king <4428> of Madon <4068>, and to the

king <4428> of Shimron <8110>, and to the king <4428> of

Achshaph <0407>,

2 And to the kings <4428> that [were] on the north <6828> of

the mountains <2022>, and of the plains <6160> south <5045> of

Chinneroth <3672>, and in the valley <8219>, and in the borders

<5299> of Dor <1756> on the west <3220>,

3 [And to] the Canaanite <3669> on the east <4217> and on the

west <3220>, and [to] the Amorite <0567>, and the Hittite <2850>,

and the Perizzite <6522>, and the Jebusite <2983> in the

mountains <2022>, and [to] the Hivite <2340> under <8478> Hermon

<2768> in the land <0776> of Mizpeh <4709>.

4 And they went <3318> out, they and all <3605> their hosts

<4264> with them, much <7227> people <5971>, even as the sand

<2344> that [is] upon the sea <3220> shore <8193> in multitude

<7230>, with horses <5483> and chariots <7393> very <3966> many

<7227>.

5 And when all <3605> these <0428> kings <4428> were met <3259>

together <3162>, they came <0935> and pitched <2583> together

<3162> at <0413> the waters <4325> of Merom <4792>, to fight

<3898> against <5973> Israel <3478>.

6 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Be not

afraid <3372> because <6440> of them: for to morrow <4279> about

this <2063> time <6256> will I deliver <5414> them up all <3605>

slain <2491> before <6440> Israel <3478>: thou shalt hough

<6131> their horses <5483>, and burn <8313> their chariots

<4818> with fire <0784>.

7 So Joshua <3091> came <0935>, and all <3605> the people

<5971> of war <4421> with him, against <5921> them by the waters

<4325> of Merom <4792> suddenly <6597>; and they fell <5307>

upon them.

8 And the LORD <3068> delivered <5414> them into the hand

<3027> of Israel <3478>, who smote <5221> them, and chased

<7291> them unto great <7227> Zidon <6721>, and unto

Misrephothmaim <4956>, and unto the valley <1237> of Mizpeh

<4708> eastward <4217>; and they smote <5221> them, until <5704>

they left <7604> them none <1115> remaining <8300>.

9 And Joshua <3091> did <6213> unto them as the LORD <3068>

bade <0559> him: he houghed <6131> their horses <5483>, and

burnt <8313> their chariots <4818> with fire <0784>.

10. And Joshua <3091> at that time <6256> turned <7725> back

<7725>, and took <3920> Hazor <2674>, and smote <5221> the king

<4428> thereof with the sword <2719>: for Hazor <2674>

beforetime <6440> was the head <7218> of all <3605> those <0428>

kingdoms <4467>.

11 And they smote <5221> all <3605> the souls <5315> that

[were] therein with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>, utterly

destroying <2763> [them]: there was not any <3605> left <3498>

to breathe <5397>: and he burnt <8313> Hazor <2674> with fire

<0784>.

12 And all <3605> the cities <5892> of those <0428> kings

<4428>, and all <3605> the kings <4428> of them, did Joshua

<3091> take <3920>, and smote <5221> them with the edge <6310>

of the sword <2719>, [and] he utterly destroyed <2763> them, as

Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> commanded

<6680>.

13 But [as for] the cities <5892> that stood <5975> still in

their strength <8510>, Israel <3478> burned <8313> none <3808>

of them, save <2108> Hazor <2674> only <0905>; [that] did Joshua

<3091> burn <8313>.

14 And all <3605> the spoil <7998> of these <0428> cities

<5892>, and the cattle <0929>, the children <1121> of Israel

<3478> took for a prey <0962> unto themselves <1992>; but every

<3605> man <0120> they smote <5221> with the edge <6310> of the

sword <2719>, until <5704> they had destroyed <8045> them,

neither <3808> left <7604> they any <3605> to breathe <5397>.

15. As the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> Moses <4872> his

servant <5650>, so <3651> did <6213> Moses <4872> command <6680>

Joshua <3091>, and so <3651> did <6213> Joshua <3091>; he left

<5493> nothing undone <5493> of all <3605> that the LORD <3068>

commanded <6680> Moses <4872>.

16 So Joshua <3091> took <3947> all <3605> that land <0776>,

the hills <2022>, and all <3605> the south <5045> country, and

all <3605> the land <0776> of Goshen <1657>, and the valley

<8219>, and the plain <6160>, and the mountain <2022> of Israel

<3478>, and the valley <8219> of the same;

17 [Even] from the mount <2022> Halak <2510>, that goeth <5927>

up to Seir <8165>, even unto Baalgad <1171> in the valley <1237>

of Lebanon <3844> under <8478> mount <2022> Hermon <2768>: and

all <3605> their kings <4428> he took <3920>, and smote <5221>

them, and slew <4191> them.

18 Joshua <3091> made <6213> war <4421> a long <7227> time

<3117> with all <3605> those <0428> kings <4428>.

19 There was not a city <5892> that made peace <7999> with the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>, save <1115> the Hivites <2340>

the inhabitants <3427> of Gibeon <1391>: all <3605> [other] they

took <3947> in battle <4421>.

20 For it was of the LORD <3068> to harden <2388> their hearts

<3820>, that they should come <7122> against <7125> Israel

<3478> in battle <4421>, that he might destroy <2763> them

utterly, [and] that they might have <1961> no <1115> favour

<8467>, but that he might destroy <8045> them, as the LORD

<3068> commanded <6680> Moses <4872>.

21 And at that time <6256> came <0935> Joshua <3091>, and cut

<3772> off the Anakims <6062> from the mountains <2022>, from

Hebron <2275>, from Debir <1688>, from Anab <6024>, and from all

<3605> the mountains <2022> of Judah <3063>, and from all <3605>

the mountains <2022> of Israel <3478>: Joshua <3091> destroyed

<2763> them utterly with their cities <5892>.

22 There was none <3808> of the Anakims <6062> left <3498> in

the land <0776> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: only

<7535> in Gaza <5804>, in Gath <1661>, and in Ashdod <0795>,

there remained <7604>.

23 So Joshua <3091> took <3947> the whole land <0776>,

according to all <3605> that the LORD <3068> said <1696> unto

Moses <4872>; and Joshua <3091> gave <5414> it for an

inheritance <5159> unto Israel <3478> according to their

divisions <4256> by their tribes <7626>. And the land <0776>

rested <8252> from war <4421>.

Joshua 12

1. Now these <0428> [are] the kings <4428> of the land <0776>,

which <0834> the children <1121> of Israel <3478> smote <5221>,

and possessed <3423> their land <0776> on the other <5676> side

<5676> Jordan <3383> toward the rising <4217> of the sun <8121>,

from the river <5158> Arnon <0769> unto mount <2022> Hermon, and

all <3605> the plain <6160> on the east <4217>:

2 Sihon <5511> king <4428> of the Amorites <0567>, who dwelt

<3427> in Heshbon <2809>, [and] ruled <4910> from Aroer <6177>,

which <0834> [is] upon the bank <8193> of the river <5158> Arnon

<0769>, and from the middle <8432> of the river <5158>, and from

half <2677> Gilead <1568>, even unto the river <5158> Jabbok

<2999>, [which is] the border <1366> of the children <1121> of

Ammon <5983>;

3 And from the plain <6160> to the sea <3220> of Chinneroth

<3672> on the east <4217>, and unto the sea <3220> of the plain

<6160>, [even] the salt <4417> sea <3220> on the east <4217>,

the way <1870> to Bethjeshimoth <1020>; and from the south

<8486>, under <8478> Ashdothpisgah:

4 And the coast <1366> of Og <5747> king <4428> of Bashan

<1316>, [which was] of the remnant <3499> of the giants <7497>,

that dwelt <3427> at Ashtaroth <6252> and at Edrei <0154>,

5 And reigned <4910> in mount <2022> Hermon <2768>, and in

Salcah <5548>, and in all <3605> Bashan <1316>, unto the border

<1366> of the Geshurites <1651> and the Maachathites <4602>, and

half <2677> Gilead <1568>, the border <1366> of Sihon <5511>

king <4428> of Heshbon <2809>.

6 Them did Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068>

and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> smite <5221>: and Moses

<4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> gave <5414> it

[for] a possession <3425> unto the Reubenites <7206>, and the

Gadites <1425>, and the half <2677> tribe <7626> of Manasseh

<4519>.

7. And these <0428> [are] the kings <4428> of the country

<0776> which <0834> Joshua <3091> and the children <1121> of

Israel <3478> smote <5221> on this side <5676> Jordan <3383> on

the west <3220>, from Baalgad <1171> in the valley <1237> of

Lebanon <3844> even unto the mount <2022> Halak <2510>, that

goeth <5927> up to Seir <8165>; which Joshua <3091> gave <5414>

unto the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478> [for] a possession

<3425> according to their divisions <4256>;

8 In the mountains <2022>, and in the valleys <8219>, and in

the plains <6160>, and in the springs <0794>, and in the

wilderness <4057>, and in the south <5045> country; the Hittites

<2850>, the Amorites <0567>, and the Canaanites <3669>, the

Joshua 13

1. Now Joshua <3091> was old <2204> [and] stricken <0935> in

years <8141>; and the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto him, Thou art

old <2204> [and] stricken <0935> in years <8141>, and there

remaineth <7604> yet very <3966> much <7235> land <0776> to be

possessed <3423>.

2 This <2063> [is] the land <0776> that yet remaineth <7604>:

all <3605> the borders <1552> of the Philistines <6430>, and all

<3605> Geshuri <1651>,

3 From Sihor <7883>, which <0834> [is] before Egypt <4714>,

even unto the borders <1366> of Ekron <6138> northward <6828>,

[which] is counted <2803> to the Canaanite <3669>: five <2568>

lords <5633> of the Philistines <6430>; the Gazathites <5841>,

and the Ashdothites <0796>, the Eshkalonites <0832>, the

Gittites <1663>, and the Ekronites <6139>; also the Avites

<5757>:

4 From the south <8486>, all <3605> the land <0776> of the

Canaanites <3669>, and Mearah <4632> that [is] beside the

Sidonians <6722>, unto Aphek <0663>, to the borders <1366> of

the Amorites <0567>:

5 And the land <0776> of the Giblites <1382>, and all <3605>

Lebanon <3844>, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad <1171> under

<8478> mount <2022> Hermon <2768> unto the entering <0935> into

Hamath <2574>.

6 All <3605> the inhabitants <3427> of the hill <2022> country

from Lebanon <3844> unto Misrephothmaim <4956>, [and] all <3605>

the Sidonians <6722>, them will I drive <3423> out from before

<6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: only <7535> divide

<5307> thou it by lot unto the Israelites <3478> for an

inheritance <5159>, as I have commanded <6680> thee.

7. Now <6258> therefore divide <2505> this <2063> land <0776>

for an inheritance <5159> unto the nine <8672> tribes <7626>,

and the half <2677> tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519>,

8 With whom <5973> the Reubenites <7206> and the Gadites <1425>

have received <3947> their inheritance <5159>, which <0834>

Moses <4872> gave <5414> them, beyond <5676> Jordan <3383>

eastward <4217>, [even] as Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of

the LORD <3068> gave <5414> them;

9 From Aroer <6177>, that [is] upon the bank <8193> of the

river <5158> Arnon <0769>, and the city <5892> that [is] in the

midst <8432> of the river <5158>, and all <3605> the plain

<4334> of Medeba <4311> unto Dibon <1769>;

10 And all <3605> the cities <5892> of Sihon <5511> king <4428>

of the Amorites <0567>, which <0834> reigned <4427> in Heshbon

<2809>, unto the border <1366> of the children <1121> of Ammon

<5983>;

11 And Gilead <1568>, and the border <1366> of the Geshurites

<1651> and Maachathites <4602>, and all <3605> mount <2022>

Hermon <2768>, and all <3605> Bashan <1316> unto Salcah <5548>;

12 All <3605> the kingdom <4468> of Og <5747> in Bashan <1316>,

which <0834> reigned <4427> in Ashtaroth <6252> and in Edrei

<0154>, who <1931> remained <7604> of the remnant <3499> of the

giants <7497>: for these did Moses <4872> smite <5221>, and cast

<3423> them out.

13 Nevertheless the children <1121> of Israel <3478> expelled

<3423> not the Geshurites <1651>, nor <0408> the Maachathites

<4602>: but the Geshurites <1651> and the Maachathites <4602>

dwell <3427> among <7130> the Israelites <3478> until <5704>

this <2088> day <3117>.

14 Only <7535> unto the tribe <7626> of Levi <3878> he gave

<5414> none <3808> inheritance <5159>; the sacrifices of the

LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478> made by fire [are] their

inheritance <5159>, as he said <1696> unto them.

15 And Moses <4872> gave <5414> unto the tribe <4294> of the

children <1121> of Reuben <7205> [inheritance] according to

their families <4940>.

16 And their coast <1366> was from Aroer <6177>, that [is] on

<5921> the bank <8193> of the river <5158> Arnon <0769>, and the

city <5892> that [is] in the midst <8432> of the river <5158>,

and all <3605> the plain <4334> by Medeba <4311>;

17 Heshbon <2809>, and all <3605> her cities <5892> that [are]

in the plain <4334>; Dibon <1769>, and Bamothbaal <1120>, and

Bethbaalmeon <1010>,

18 And Jahazah <3096>, and Kedemoth <6932>, and Mephaath <4158>,

19 And Kirjathaim <7156>, and Sibmah <7643>, and Zarethshahar

in the mount <2022> of the valley <6010>,

20 And Bethpeor <1047>, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth

<1020>,

21 And all <3605> the cities <5892> of the plain <4334>, and

all <3605> the kingdom <4468> of Sihon <5511> king <4428> of the

Amorites <0567>, which <0834> reigned <4427> in Heshbon <2809>,

whom <0834> Moses <4872> smote <5221> with the princes <5387> of

Midian <4080>, Evi <0189>, and Rekem <7552>, and Zur <6698>, and

Hur <2354>, and Reba <7254>, [which were] dukes <5257> of Sihon

<5511>, dwelling <3427> in the country <0776>.

22 Balaam <1109> also the son <1121> of Beor <1160>, the

soothsayer <7080>, did the children <1121> of Israel <3478> slay

<2026> with the sword <2719> among <0413> them that were slain

<2491> by them.

23 And the border <1366> of the children <1121> of Reuben

<7205> was Jordan <3383>, and the border <1366> [thereof]. This

<2063> [was] the inheritance <5159> of the children <1121> of

Reuben <7205> after their families <4940>, the cities <5892> and

the villages <2691> thereof.

24 And Moses <4872> gave <5414> [inheritance] unto the tribe

<4294> of Gad <1410>, [even] unto the children <1121> of Gad

<1410> according to their families <4940>.

25 And their coast <1366> was Jazer <3270>, and all <3605> the

cities <5892> of Gilead <1568>, and half <2677> the land <0776>

of the children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, unto Aroer <6177> that

[is] before Rabbah <7237>;

26 And from Heshbon <2809> unto Ramathmizpeh <7434>, and

Betonim <0993>; and from Mahanaim <4266> unto the border <1366>

of Debir <1688>;

27 And in the valley <6010>, Betharam <1027>, and Bethnimrah

<1039>, and Succoth <5523>, and Zaphon, the rest <3499> of the

kingdom <4468> of Sihon <5511> king <4428> of Heshbon <2809>,

Jordan <3383> and [his] border <1366>, [even] unto the edge

<7097> of the sea <3220> of Chinnereth <3672> on the other

<5676> side <5676> Jordan <3383> eastward <4217>.

28 This <2063> [is] the inheritance <5159> of the children

<1121> of Gad <1410> after their families <4940>, the cities

<5892>, and their villages <2691>.

29 And Moses <4872> gave <5414> [inheritance] unto the half

<2677> tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519>: and [this] was [the

possession] of the half <2677> tribe <4294> of the children

<1121> of Manasseh <4519> by their families <4940>.

30 And their coast <1366> was from Mahanaim <4266>, all <3605>

Bashan <1316>, all <3605> the kingdom <4468> of Og <5747> king

<4428> of Bashan <1316>, and all <3605> the towns <2333> of Jair

<2971>, which <0834> [are] in Bashan <1316>, threescore <8346>

cities <5892>:

31 And half <2677> Gilead <1568>, and Ashtaroth <6252>, and

Edrei <0154>, cities <5892> of the kingdom <4468> of Og <5747>

in Bashan <1316>, [were pertaining] unto the children <1121> of

Machir <4353> the son <1121> of Manasseh <4519>, [even] to the

one half <2677> of the children <1121> of Machir <4353> by their

families <4940>.

32 These <0428> [are the countries] which <0834> Moses <4872>

did distribute <5157> for inheritance <5157> in the plains

<6160> of Moab <4124>, on the other <5676> side <5676> Jordan

<3383>, by Jericho <3405>, eastward <4217>.

33 But unto the tribe <7626> of Levi <3878> Moses <4872> gave

<5414> not [any <3605>] inheritance <5159>: the LORD <3068> God

<0430> of Israel <3478> [was] their inheritance <5159>, as he

said <1696> unto them.

Joshua 14

1. And these <0428> [are the countries] which <0834> the

children <1121> of Israel <3478> inherited <5157> in the land

<0776> of Canaan <3667>, which Eleazar <0499> the priest <3548>,

and Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126>, and the heads

<7218> of the fathers <1> of the tribes <4294> of the children

<1121> of Israel <3478>, distributed <5157> for inheritance

<5157> to them.

2 By lot <1486> [was] their inheritance <5159>, as the LORD

<3068> commanded <6680> by the hand <3027> of Moses <4872>, for

the nine <8672> tribes <4294>, and [for] the half <2677> tribe

<4294>.

3 For Moses <4872> had given <5414> the inheritance <5159> of

two <8147> tribes <4294> and an half <2677> tribe <4294> on the

other <5676> side <5676> Jordan <3383>: but unto the Levites

<3881> he gave <5414> none <3808> inheritance <5159> among

<8432> them.

4 For the children <1121> of Joseph <3130> were two <8147>

tribes <4294>, Manasseh <4519> and Ephraim <0669>: therefore

they gave <5414> no <3808> part <2506> unto the Levites <3881>

in the land <0776>, save cities <5892> to dwell <3427> [in],

with their suburbs <4054> for their cattle <4735> and for their

substance <7075>.

5 As the LORD <3068> commanded <6680> Moses <4872>, so <3651>

the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did <6213>, and they

divided <2505> the land <0776>.

6. Then the children <1121> of Judah <3063> came <5066> unto

Joshua <3091> in Gilgal <1537>: and Caleb <3612> the son <1121>

of Jephunneh <3312> the Kenezite <7074> said <0559> unto him,

Thou knowest <3045> the thing <1697> that the LORD <3068> said

<1696> unto Moses <4872> the man <0376> of God <0430> concerning

me and thee in Kadeshbarnea <6947>.

7 Forty <0705> years <8141> old <1121> [was] I when Moses

<4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> sent <7971> me from

Kadeshbarnea <6947> to espy <7270> out the land <0776>; and I

brought <7725> him word <1697> again <7725> as [it was] in mine

heart <3824>.

8 Nevertheless my brethren <0251> that went <5927> up with me

made the heart <3820> of the people <5971> melt <4529>: but I

wholly <4390> followed <0310> the LORD <3068> my God <0430>.

9 And Moses <4872> sware <7650> on that day <3117>, saying

<0559>, Surely <0518> the land <0776> whereon <0834> thy feet

<7272> have trodden <1869> shall be thine inheritance <5159>,

and thy children's <1121> for ever <5769>, because <3588> thou

hast wholly <4390> followed <0310> the LORD <3068> my God <0430>.

10 And now <6258>, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> hath kept me

alive <2421>, as he said <1696>, these <2088> forty <0705> and

five <2568> years <8141>, even since <0227> the LORD <3068>

spake <1696> this <2088> word <1697> unto Moses <4872>, while

<0834> [the children of] Israel <3478> wandered <1980> in the

wilderness <4057>: and now <6258>, lo <2009>, I [am] this day

<3117> fourscore <8084> and five <2568> years <8141> old <1121>.

11 As yet <5750> I [am as] strong <2389> this day <3117> as [I

was] in the day <3117> that Moses <4872> sent <7971> me: as my

strength <3581> [was] then <0227>, even so [is] my strength

<3581> now <6258>, for war <4421>, both to go <3318> out, and to

come <0935> in.

12 Now <6258> therefore give <5414> me this <2088> mountain

<2022>, whereof <0834> the LORD <3068> spake <1696> in that day

<3117>; for thou heardest <8085> in that day <3117> how <3588>

the Anakims <6062> [were] there <8033>, and [that] the cities

<5892> [were] great <1419> [and] fenced <1219>: if <0194> so be

the LORD <3068> [will be] with me, then I shall be able to drive

<3423> them out, as the LORD <3068> said <1696>.

13 And Joshua <3091> blessed <1288> him, and gave <5414> unto

Caleb <3612> the son <1121> of Jephunneh <3312> Hebron <2275>

for an inheritance <5159>.

14 Hebron <2275> therefore became <1961> the inheritance <5159>

of Caleb <3612> the son <1121> of Jephunneh <3312> the Kenezite

<7074> unto this <2088> day <3117>, because <3282> that he

wholly <4390> followed <0310> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of

Israel <3478>.

15 And the name <8034> of Hebron <2275> before <6440> [was]

Kirjatharba <7153>; [which Arba was] a great <1419> man <0120>

among the Anakims <6062>. And the land <0776> had rest <8252>

from war <4421>.

Joshua 15

1. [This] then was the lot <1486> of the tribe <4294> of the

children <1121> of Judah <3063> by their families <4940>; [even]

to the border <1366> of Edom <0123> the wilderness <4057> of Zin

<6790> southward <8486> [was] the uttermost <7097> part of the

south <5045> coast <1366>.

2 And their south <5045> border <1366> was from the shore

<7097> of the salt <4417> sea <3220>, from the bay <3956> that

looketh <6437> southward <5045>:

3 And it went <3318> out to the south <5045> side to

Maalehacrabbim <4610>, and passed <5674> along to Zin <6790>,

and ascended <5927> up on the south <5045> side unto

Kadeshbarnea <6947>, and passed <5674> along to Hezron <2696>,

and went <5927> up to Adar <0146>, and fetched a compass <5437>

to Karkaa <7173>:

4 [From thence] it passed <5674> toward Azmon <6111>, and went

<3318> out unto the river <5158> of Egypt <4714>; and the goings

<8444> out of that coast <1366> were at the sea <3220>: this

<2088> shall be your south <5045> coast <1366>.

5 And the east <6924> border <1366> [was] the salt <4417> sea

<3220>, [even] unto the end <7097> of Jordan <3383>. And [their]

border <1366> in the north <6828> quarter <6285> [was] from the

bay <3956> of the sea <3220> at <5704> the uttermost <7097> part

of Jordan <3383>:

6 And the border <1366> went <5927> up to Bethhogla <1031>, and

passed <5674> along by the north <6828> of Betharabah <1026>;

and the border <1366> went <5927> up to the stone <68> of Bohan

<0932> the son <1121> of Reuben <7205>:

7 And the border <1366> went <5927> up toward Debir <1688> from

the valley <6010> of Achor <5911>, and so northward <6828>,

looking <6437> toward <0413> Gilgal <1537>, that [is] before

<5227> the going <4608> up to Adummim <0131>, which <0834> [is]

on the south <5045> side of the river <5158>: and the border

<1366> passed <5674> toward <0413> the waters <4325> of

Enshemesh <5885>, and the goings <8444> out thereof were at

<0413> Enrogel <5883>:

8 And the border <1366> went <5927> up by the valley <1516> of

the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011> unto the south <5045> side

<3802> of the Jebusite <2983>; the same <1931> [is] Jerusalem

<3389>: and the border <1366> went <5927> up to the top <7218>

of the mountain <2022> that [lieth] before the valley <1516> of

Hinnom <2011> westward <3220>, which <0834> [is] at the end

<7097> of the valley <6010> of the giants <7497> northward

<6828>:

9 And the border <1366> was drawn <8388> from the top <7218> of

the hill <2022> unto the fountain <4599> of the water <4325> of

Nephtoah <5318>, and went <3318> out to the cities <5892> of

mount <2022> Ephron <6085>; and the border <1366> was drawn

<8388> to Baalah <1173>, which <1958> [is] Kirjathjearim <7157>:

10 And the border <1366> compassed <5437> from Baalah <1173>

westward <3220> unto mount <2022> Seir <8165>, and passed <5674>

along unto the side <3802> of mount <2022> Jearim <3297>, which

<0834> [is] Chesalon <3693>, on the north <6828> side, and went

<3381> down <3381> to Bethshemesh <1053>, and passed <5674> on

to Timnah <8553>:

11 And the border <1366> went <3318> out unto the side <3802>

of Ekron <6138> northward <6828>: and the border <1366> was

drawn <8388> to Shicron <7942>, and passed <5674> along to mount

<2022> Baalah <1173>, and went <3318> out unto Jabneel <2995>;

and the goings <8444> out of the border <1366> were at the sea

<3220>.

12 And the west <3220> border <1366> [was] to the great <1419>

sea <3220>, and the coast <1366> [thereof]. This <2088> [is] the

coast <1366> of the children <1121> of Judah <3063> round <5439>

about according to their families <4940>.

13. And unto Caleb <3612> the son <1121> of Jephunneh <3312> he

gave <5414> a part <2506> among <8432> the children <1121> of

Judah <3063>, according <0413> to the commandment <6310> of the

LORD <3068> to Joshua <3091>, [even] the city <7151> of Arba

<0704> the father <1> of Anak <6061>, which <1958> [city is]

Hebron <2275>.

14 And Caleb <3612> drove <3423> thence <8033> the three <7969>

sons <1121> of Anak <6061>, Sheshai <8344>, and Ahiman <0289>,

and Talmai <8526>, the children <3211> of Anak <6061>.

15 And he went <5927> up thence <8033> to the inhabitants

<3427> of Debir <1688>: and the name <8034> of Debir <1688>

before <6440> [was] Kirjathsepher <7158>.

16 And Caleb <3612> said <0559>, He that smiteth <5221>

Kirjathsepher <7158>, and taketh <3920> it, to him will I give

<5414> Achsah <5915> my daughter <1323> to wife <0802>.

17 And Othniel <6274> the son <1121> of Kenaz <7073>, the

brother <0251> of Caleb <3612>, took <3920> it: and he gave

<5414> him Achsah <5915> his daughter <1323> to wife <0802>.

18 And it came <1961> to pass, as she came <0935> [unto him],

that she moved <5496> him to ask <7592> of her father <1> a

field <7704>: and she lighted <6795> off <5921> [her] ass <2543>;

and Caleb <3612> said <0559> unto her, What <4100> wouldest

thou?

19 Who answered <0559>, Give <5414> me a blessing <1293>; for

thou hast given <5414> me a south <5045> land <0776>; give

<5414> me also springs <1543> of water <4325>. And he gave

<5414> her the upper <5942> springs <1543>, and the nether

<8482> springs <1543>.

20. This <2063> [is] the inheritance <5159> of the tribe <4294>

of the children <1121> of Judah <3063> according to their

families <4940>.

21 And the uttermost <7097> cities <5892> of the tribe <4294>

of the children <1121> of Judah <3063> toward <0413> the coast

<1366> of Edom <0123> southward <5045> were Kabzeel <6909>, and

63 As for the Jebusites <2983> the inhabitants <3427> of

Jerusalem <3389>, the children <1121> of Judah <3063> could

<3201> not drive <3423> them out: but the Jebusites <2983> dwell

<3427> with the children <1121> of Judah <3063> at Jerusalem

<3389> unto this <2088> day <3117>.

Joshua 16

1. And the lot <1486> of the children <1121> of Joseph <3130>

fell <3318> from Jordan <3383> by Jericho <3405>, unto the water

<4325> of Jericho <3405> on the east <4217>, to the wilderness

<4057> that goeth <5927> up from Jericho <3405> throughout mount

<2022> Bethel <1008>,

2 And goeth <3318> out from Bethel <1008> to Luz <3870>, and

passeth <5674> along unto the borders <1366> of Archi <0757> to

Ataroth <5852>,

3 And goeth <3381> down <3381> westward <3220> to the coast

<1366> of Japhleti <3311>, unto the coast <1366> of Bethhoron

<1032> the nether <8481>, and to Gezer <1507>: and the goings

<8444> out thereof are at the sea <3220>.

4 So the children <1121> of Joseph <3130>, Manasseh <4519> and

Ephraim <0669>, took their inheritance <5157>.

5. And the border <1366> of the children <1121> of Ephraim

<0669> according to their families <4940> was [thus]: even the

border <1366> of their inheritance <5159> on the east <4217>

side was Atarothaddar <5853>, unto Bethhoron <1032> the upper

<5945>;

6 And the border <1366> went <3318> out toward the sea <3220>

to Michmethah <4366> on the north <6828> side; and the border

<1366> went <5437> about <5437> eastward <4217> unto

Taanathshiloh <8387>, and passed <5674> by it on the east <4217>

to Janohah <3239>;

7 And it went <3381> down <3381> from Janohah <3239> to Ataroth

<5852>, and to Naarath <5292>, and came <6293> to Jericho <3405>,

and went <3318> out at Jordan <3383>.

8 The border <1366> went <3212> out from Tappuah <8599>

westward <3220> unto the river <5158> Kanah <7071>; and the

goings <8444> out thereof were at the sea <3220>. This <2063>

[is] the inheritance <5159> of the tribe <4294> of the children

<1121> of Ephraim <0669> by their families <4940>.

9 And the separate <3995> cities <5892> for the children <1121>

of Ephraim <0669> [were] among <8432> the inheritance <5159> of

the children <1121> of Manasseh <4519>, all <3605> the cities

<5892> with their villages <2691>.

10 And they drave <3423> not out the Canaanites <3669> that

dwelt <3427> in Gezer <1507>: but the Canaanites <3669> dwell

<3427> among <7130> the Ephraimites <0669> unto this <2088> day

<3117>, and serve <5647> under tribute <4522>.

Joshua 17

1. There was also a lot <1486> for the tribe <4294> of Manasseh

<4519>; for he [was] the firstborn <1060> of Joseph <3130>; [to

wit], for Machir <4353> the firstborn <1060> of Manasseh <4519>,

the father <1> of Gilead <1568>: because <3588> he was a man

<0376> of war <4421>, therefore he had <1961> Gilead <1568> and

Bashan <1316>.

2 There was also [a lot] for the rest <3498> of the children

<1121> of Manasseh <4519> by their families <4940>; for the

children <1121> of Abiezer <44>, and for the children <1121> of

Helek <2507>, and for the children <1121> of Asriel <0844>, and

for the children <1121> of Shechem <7928>, and for the children

<1121> of Hepher <2660>, and for the children <1121> of Shemida

<8061>: these <0428> [were] the male <2145> children <1121> of

Manasseh <4519> the son <1121> of Joseph <3130> by their

families <4940>.

3 But Zelophehad <6765>, the son <1121> of Hepher <2660>, the

son <1121> of Gilead <1568>, the son <1121> of Machir <4353>,

the son <1121> of Manasseh <4519>, had <1961> no <3808> sons

<1121>, but daughters <1121>: and these <0428> [are] the names

<8034> of his daughters <1121>, Mahlah <4244>, and Noah <5146>,

Hoglah <2295>, Milcah <4435>, and Tirzah <8656>.

4 And they came <7126> near <7126> before <6440> Eleazar <0499>

the priest <3548>, and before <6440> Joshua <3091> the son

<1121> of Nun <5126>, and before <6440> the princes <5387>,

saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> commanded <6680> Moses <4872> to

give <5414> us an inheritance <5159> among <8432> our brethren

<0251>. Therefore according <0413> to the commandment <6310> of

the LORD <3068> he gave <5414> them an inheritance <5159> among

<8432> the brethren <0251> of their father <1>.

5 And there fell <5307> ten <6235> portions <2256> to Manasseh

<4519>, beside <0905> the land <0776> of Gilead <1568> and

Bashan <1316>, which <0834> [were] on the other <5676> side

<5676> Jordan <3383>;

6 Because <3588> the daughters <1121> of Manasseh <4519> had an

inheritance <5157> among <8432> his sons <1121>: and the rest

<3498> of Manasseh's <4519> sons <1121> had <1961> the land

<0776> of Gilead <1568>.

7. And the coast <1366> of Manasseh <4519> was from Asher

<0836> to Michmethah <4366>, that [lieth] before Shechem <7927>;

and the border <1366> went <1980> along on <0413> the right

<3225> hand <3225> unto the inhabitants <3427> of Entappuah

<5887>.

8 [Now] Manasseh <4519> had <1961> the land <0776> of Tappuah

<8599>: but Tappuah <8599> on <0413> the border <1366> of

Manasseh <4519> [belonged] to the children <1121> of Ephraim

<0669>;

9 And the coast <1366> descended <3381> unto the river <5158>

Kanah <7071>, southward <5045> of the river <5158>: these <0428>

cities <5892> of Ephraim <0669> [are] among <8432> the cities

<5892> of Manasseh <4519>: the coast <1366> of Manasseh <4519>

also [was] on the north <6828> side of the river <5158>, and the

outgoings <8444> of it were at the sea <3220>:

10 Southward <5045> [it was] Ephraim's <0669>, and northward

<6828> [it was] Manasseh's <4519>, and the sea <3220> is his

border <1366>; and they met <6293> together in Asher <0836> on

the north <6828>, and in Issachar <3485> on the east <4217>.

11 And Manasseh <4519> had <1961> in Issachar <3485> and in

Asher <0836> Bethshean <1052> and her towns <1323>, and Ibleam

<2991> and her towns <1323>, and the inhabitants <3427> of Dor

<1756> and her towns <1323>, and the inhabitants <3427> of Endor

<5874> and her towns <1323>, and the inhabitants <3427> of

Taanach <8590> and her towns <1323>, and the inhabitants <3427>

of Megiddo <4023> and her towns <1323>, [even] three <7969>

countries <5316>.

12 Yet the children <1121> of Manasseh <4519> could <3201> not

drive <3423> out [the inhabitants of] those <0428> cities <5892>;

but the Canaanites <3669> would <2974> dwell <3427> in that

land <0776>.

13 Yet it came <1961> to pass, when <3588> the children <1121>

of Israel <3478> were waxen strong <2388>, that they put <5414>

the Canaanites <3669> to tribute <4522>; but did not utterly

drive <3423> them out.

14. And the children <1121> of Joseph <3130> spake <1696> unto

Joshua <3091>, saying <0559>, Why <4069> hast thou given <5414>

me [but] one <0259> lot <1486> and one <0259> portion <2256> to

inherit <5159>, seeing I [am] a great <7227> people <5971>,

forasmuch <5704> as the LORD <3068> hath blessed <1288> me

hitherto?

15 And Joshua <3091> answered <0559> them, If <0518> thou [be]

a great <7227> people <5971>, [then] get <5927> thee up to the

wood <3293> [country], and cut <1254> down for thyself there

<8033> in the land <0776> of the Perizzites <6522> and of the

giants <7497>, if <3588> mount <2022> Ephraim <0669> be too

narrow <0213> for thee.

16 And the children <1121> of Joseph <3130> said <0559>, The

hill <2022> is not enough <4672> for us: and all <3605> the

Canaanites <3669> that dwell <3427> in the land <0776> of the

valley <6010> have chariots <7393> of iron <1270>, [both they]

who <0834> [are] of Bethshean <1052> and her towns <1323>, and

[they] who <0834> [are] of the valley <6010> of Jezreel <3157>.

17 And Joshua <3091> spake <0559> unto the house <1004> of

Joseph <3130>, [even] to Ephraim <0669> and to Manasseh <4519>,

saying <0559>, Thou [art] a great <7227> people <5971>, and hast

great <1419> power <3581>: thou shalt not have <1961> one <0259>

lot <1486> [only]:

18 But the mountain <2022> shall be thine; for it [is] a wood

<3293>, and thou shalt cut <1254> it down: and the outgoings

<8444> of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive <3423> out the

Canaanites <3669>, though <3588> they have iron <1270> chariots

<7393>, [and] though <3588> they [be] strong <2389>.

Joshua 18

1. And the whole <3605> congregation <5712> of the children

<1121> of Israel <3478> assembled <6950> together at Shiloh

<7887>, and set <7931> up the tabernacle <0168> of the

congregation <4150> there <8033>. And the land <0776> was

subdued <3533> before <6440> them.

2. And there remained <3498> among the children <1121> of

Israel <3478> seven <7651> tribes <7626>, which <0834> had not

yet received <2505> their inheritance <5159>.

3 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto the children <1121> of

Israel <3478>, How <5704> long <5704> [are] ye slack <7503> to

go <0935> to possess <3423> the land <0776>, which <0834> the

LORD <3068> God <0430> of your fathers <1> hath given <5414> you?

4 Give <3051> out from among you three <7969> men <0582> for

[each] tribe <7626>: and I will send <7971> them, and they shall

rise <6965>, and go <1980> through the land <0776>, and describe

<3789> it according <6310> to the inheritance <5159> of them;

and they shall come <0935> [again] to me.

5 And they shall divide <2505> it into seven <7651> parts

<2506>: Judah <3063> shall abide <5975> in their coast <1366> on

the south <5045>, and the house <1004> of Joseph <3130> shall

abide <5975> in their coasts <1366> on the north <6828>.

6 Ye shall therefore describe <3789> the land <0776> [into]

seven <7651> parts <2506>, and bring <0935> [the description]

hither to me, that I may cast <3384> lots <1486> for you here

<6311> before <6440> the LORD <3068> our God <0430>.

7 But the Levites <3881> have no <3808> part <2506> among

<7130> you; for the priesthood <3550> of the LORD <3068> [is]

their inheritance <5159>: and Gad <1410>, and Reuben <7205>, and

half <2677> the tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519>, have <1961>

received <3947> their inheritance <5159> beyond <5676> Jordan

<3383> on the east <4217>, which <0834> Moses <4872> the servant

<5650> of the LORD <3068> gave <5414> them.

8 And the men <0582> arose <6965>, and went <3212> away: and

Joshua <3091> charged <6680> them that went <1980> to describe

<3789> the land <0776>, saying <0559>, Go <3212> and walk <1980>

through the land <0776>, and describe <3789> it, and come <7725>

again <7725> to me, that I may here <6311> cast <7993> lots

<1486> for you before <6440> the LORD <3068> in Shiloh <7887>.

9 And the men <0582> went <3212> and passed <5674> through the

land <0776>, and described <3789> it by cities <5892> into seven

<7651> parts <2506> in a book <5612>, and came <0935> [again] to

Joshua <3091> to the host <4264> at Shiloh <7887>.

10 And Joshua <3091> cast <7993> lots <1486> for them in Shiloh

<7887> before <6440> the LORD <3068>: and there <8033> Joshua

<3091> divided <2505> the land <0776> unto the children <1121>

of Israel <3478> according to their divisions <4256>.

11. And the lot <1486> of the tribe <4294> of the children

<1121> of Benjamin <1144> came <5927> up according to their

families <4940>: and the coast <1366> of their lot <1486> came

<3318> forth <3318> between <0996> the children <1121> of Judah

<3063> and the children <1121> of Joseph <3130>.

12 And their border <1366> on the north <6828> side <6285> was

from Jordan <3383>; and the border <1366> went <5927> up to the

side <3802> of Jericho <3405> on the north <6828> side, and went

<5927> up through the mountains <2022> westward <3220>; and the

goings <8444> out thereof were at the wilderness <4057> of

Bethaven <1007>.

13 And the border <1366> went <5674> over <5674> from thence

<8033> toward Luz <3870>, to the side <3802> of Luz <3870>,

which <1958> [is] Bethel <1008>, southward <5045>; and the

border <1366> descended <3381> to Atarothadar <5853>, near

<5921> the hill <2022> that [lieth] on the south <5045> side of

the nether <8481> Bethhoron <1032>.

14 And the border <1366> was drawn <8388> [thence], and

compassed <5437> the corner <6285> of the sea <3220> southward

<5045>, from the hill <2022> that [lieth] before Bethhoron

<1032> southward <5045>; and the goings <8444> out thereof were

at <0413> Kirjathbaal <7154>, which <1958> [is] Kirjathjearim

<7157>, a city <5892> of the children <1121> of Judah <3063>:

this <2063> [was] the west <3220> quarter <6285>.

15 And the south <5045> quarter <6285> [was] from the end

<7097> of Kirjathjearim <7157>, and the border <1366> went

<3318> out on the west <3220>, and went <3318> out to the well

<4599> of waters <4325> of Nephtoah <5318>:

16 And the border <1366> came <3381> down <3381> to the end

<7097> of the mountain <2022> that [lieth] before the valley

<1516> of the son <1121> of Hinnom <2011>, [and] which <0834>

[is] in the valley <6010> of the giants <7497> on the north

<6828>, and descended <3381> to the valley <1516> of Hinnom

<2011>, to the side <3802> of Jebusi <2983> on the south <5045>,

and descended <3381> to Enrogel <5883>,

17 And was drawn <8388> from the north <6828>, and went <3318>

forth <3318> to Enshemesh <5885>, and went <3318> forth <3318>

toward <0413> Geliloth <1553>, which <0834> [is] over <5227>

against <5227> the going <4608> up of Adummim <0131>, and

descended <3381> to the stone <68> of Bohan <0932> the son

<1121> of Reuben <7205>,

18 And passed <5674> along toward <0413> the side <3802> over

<4136> against <4136> Arabah <6160> northward <6828>, and went

<3381> down <3381> unto Arabah <6160>:

19 And the border <1366> passed <5674> along to the side <3802>

of Bethhoglah <1031> northward <6828>: and the outgoings <8444>

of the border <1366> were at the north <6828> bay <3956> of the

salt <4417> sea <3220> at the south <5045> end <7097> of Jordan

<3383>: this <2088> [was] the south <5045> coast <1366>.

20 And Jordan <3383> was the border <1379> of it on the east

<6924> side <6285>. This <2063> [was] the inheritance <5159> of

the children <1121> of Benjamin <1144>, by the coasts <1367>

thereof round <5439> about, according to their families <4940>.

21 Now the cities <5892> of the tribe <4294> of the children

<1121> of Benjamin <1144> according to their families <4940>

were Jericho <3405>, and Bethhoglah <1031>, and the valley

<6010> of Keziz <7104>,

22 And Betharabah <1026>, and Zemaraim <6787>, and Bethel

<1008>,

23 And Avim <5761>, and Parah <6511>, and Ophrah <6084>,

end <3615> of dividing <2505> the country <0776>.

Joshua 20

1. The LORD <3068> also spake <1696> unto Joshua <3091>, saying

<0559>,

2 Speak <1696> to the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saying

<0559>, Appoint <5414> out for you cities <5892> of refuge

<4733>, whereof <0834> I spake <1696> unto you by the hand

<3027> of Moses <4872>:

3 That the slayer <7523> that killeth <5221> [any] person

<5315> unawares <7684> [and] unwittingly may flee <5127> thither

<8033>: and they shall be your refuge <4733> from the avenger

<1350> of blood <1818>.

4 And when he that doth flee <5127> unto one <0259> of those

<0428> cities <5892> shall stand <5975> at the entering <6607>

of the gate <8179> of the city <5892>, and shall declare <1696>

his cause <1697> in the ears <0241> of the elders <2205> of that

city <5892>, they shall take <0622> him into the city <5892>

unto them, and give <5414> him a place <4725>, that he may dwell

<3427> among <5973> them.

5 And if <3588> the avenger <1350> of blood <1818> pursue

<7291> after <0310> him, then they shall not deliver <5462> the

slayer <7523> up into his hand <3027>; because <3588> he smote

<5221> his neighbour <7453> unwittingly, and hated <8130> him

not beforetime.

6 And he shall dwell <3427> in that city <5892>, until <5704>

he stand <5975> before <6440> the congregation <5712> for

judgment <4941>, [and] until <5704> the death <4194> of the high

<1419> priest <3548> that shall be in those days <3117>: then

<0227> shall the slayer <7523> return <7725>, and come <0935>

unto his own city <5892>, and unto his own house <1004>, unto

the city <5892> from whence he fled <5127>.

7. And they appointed <6942> Kedesh <6943> in Galilee <1551> in

<3405> eastward <4217>, they assigned <5414> Bezer <1221> in the

wilderness <4057> upon the plain <4334> out of the tribe <4294>

9 These <0428> were the cities <5892> appointed <4152> for all

<3605> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and for the

stranger <1616> that sojourneth <1481> among <8432> them, that

whosoever <3605> killeth <5221> [any] person <5315> at unawares

<7684> might flee <5127> thither <8033>, and not die <4191> by

the hand <3027> of the avenger <1350> of blood <1818>, until

<5704> he stood <5975> before <6440> the congregation <5712>.

families <4940> of the Levites <3881>, out of the [other] half

<2677> tribe <4294> of Manasseh <4519> [they gave] Golan <1474>

in Bashan <1316> with her suburbs <4054>, [to be] a city <5892>

of refuge <4733> for the slayer <7523>; and Beeshterah <1203>

with her suburbs <4054>; two <8147> cities <5892>.

28 And out of the tribe <4294> of Issachar <3485>, Kishon

<7191> with her suburbs <4054>, Dabareh <1705> with her suburbs

<4054>,

29 Jarmuth <3412> with her suburbs <4054>, Engannim <5873> with

her suburbs <4054>; four <0702> cities <5892>.

30 And out of the tribe <4294> of Asher <0836>, Mishal <4861>

with her suburbs <4054>, Abdon <5658> with her suburbs <4054>,

31 Helkath <2520> with her suburbs <4054>, and Rehob <7340>

with her suburbs <4054>; four <0702> cities <5892>.

32 And out of the tribe <4294> of Naphtali <5321>, Kedesh

<6943> in Galilee <1551> with her suburbs <4054>, [to be] a city

<5892> of refuge <4733> for the slayer <7523>; and Hammothdor

<2576> with her suburbs <4054>, and Kartan <7178> with her

suburbs <4054>; three <7969> cities <5892>.

33 All <3605> the cities <5892> of the Gershonites <1649>

according to their families <4940> [were] thirteen cities <5892>

with their suburbs <4054>.

34 And unto the families <4940> of the children <1121> of

Merari <4847>, the rest <3498> of the Levites <3881>, out of the

tribe <4294> of Zebulun <2074>, Jokneam <3362> with her suburbs

<4054>, and Kartah <7177> with her suburbs <4054>,

35 Dimnah <1829> with her suburbs <4054>, Nahalal <5096> with

her suburbs <4054>; four <0702> cities <5892>.

36 And out of the tribe of Reuben <7205>, Bezer <1221> with her

suburbs, and Jahazah <3096> with her suburbs,

37 Kedemoth <6932> with her suburbs, and Mephaath <4158> with

her suburbs; four <0702> cities <5892>.

38 And out of the tribe <4294> of Gad <1410>, Ramoth <7216> in

Gilead <1568> with her suburbs <4054>, [to be] a city <5892> of

refuge <4733> for the slayer <7523>; and Mahanaim <4266> with

her suburbs <4054>,

39 Heshbon <2809> with her suburbs <4054>, Jazer <3270> with

her suburbs <4054>; four <0702> cities <5892> in all <3605>.

40 So all <3605> the cities <5892> for the children <1121> of

Merari <4847> by their families <4940>, which were remaining

<3498> of the families <4940> of the Levites <3881>, were [by]

their lot <1486> twelve cities <5892>.

41 All <3605> the cities <5892> of the Levites <3881> within

<8432> the possession <0272> of the children <1121> of Israel

<3478> [were] forty <0705> and eight <8083> cities <5892> with

their suburbs <4054>.

42 These <0428> cities <5892> were every one with their suburbs

<4054> round <5439> about them: thus <3651> [were] all <3605>

these <0428> cities <5892>.

43. And the LORD <3068> gave <5414> unto Israel <3478> all

<3605> the land <0776> which <0834> he sware <7650> to give

<5414> unto their fathers <1>; and they possessed <3423> it, and

dwelt <3427> therein.

44 And the LORD <3068> gave them rest <5117> round <5439> about,

according to all <3605> that he sware <7650> unto their fathers

<1>: and there stood <5975> not a man <0376> of all <3605> their

enemies <0341> before <6440> them; the LORD <3068> delivered

<5414> all <3605> their enemies <0341> into their hand <3027>.

45 There failed <5307> not ought <1697> of any <3605> good

<2896> thing <1697> which <0834> the LORD <3068> had spoken

<1696> unto the house <1004> of Israel <3478>; all <3605> came

<0935> to pass <0935>.

Joshua 22

1. Then <0227> Joshua <3091> called <7121> the Reubenites

<7206>, and the Gadites <1425>, and the half <2677> tribe <4294>

of Manasseh <4519>,

2 And said <0559> unto them, Ye have kept <8104> all <3605>

that Moses <4872> the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068>

commanded <6680> you, and have obeyed <8085> my voice <6963> in

all <3605> that I commanded <6680> you:

3 Ye have not left <5800> your brethren <0251> these <0428>

many <7227> days <3117> unto this <2088> day <3117>, but have

kept <8104> the charge <4931> of the commandment <4687> of the

LORD <3068> your God <0430>.

4 And now <6258> the LORD <3068> your God <0430> hath given

rest <5117> unto your brethren <0251>, as he promised <1696>

them: therefore now <6258> return <6437> ye, and get <3212> you

unto your tents <0168>, [and] unto the land <0776> of your

possession <0272>, which <0834> Moses <4872> the servant <5650>

of the LORD <3068> gave <5414> you on the other <5676> side

<5676> Jordan <3383>.

5 But take diligent <3966> heed <8104> to do <6213> the

commandment <4687> and the law <8451>, which <0834> Moses <4872>

the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> charged <6680> you, to

love <0157> the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, and to walk <3212>

in all <3605> his ways <1870>, and to keep <8104> his

commandments <4687>, and to cleave <1692> unto him, and to serve

<5647> him with all <3605> your heart <3824> and with all <3605>

your soul <5315>.

6 So Joshua <3091> blessed <1288> them, and sent <7971> them

away: and they went <3212> unto their tents <0168>.

7 Now to the [one] half <2677> of the tribe <7626> of Manasseh

<4519> Moses <4872> had given <5414> [possession] in Bashan

<1316>: but unto the [other] half <2677> thereof gave <5414>

Joshua <3091> among <5973> their brethren <0251> on this side

<5676> Jordan <3383> westward <3220>. And when <3588> Joshua

<3091> sent <7971> them away also <1571> unto their tents <0168>,

then he blessed <1288> them,

8 And he spake <0559> unto them, saying <0559>, Return <7725>

with much <7227> riches <5233> unto your tents <0168>, and with

very <3966> much <7227> cattle <4735>, with silver <3701>, and

with gold <2091>, and with brass <5178>, and with iron <1270>,

and with very <3966> much <7235> raiment <8008>: divide <2505>

the spoil <7998> of your enemies <0341> with your brethren

<0251>.

9 And the children <1121> of Reuben <7205> and the children

<1121> of Gad <1410> and the half <2677> tribe <7626> of

Manasseh <4519> returned <7725>, and departed <3212> from the

children <1121> of Israel <3478> out of Shiloh <7887>, which

<0834> [is] in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, to go <3212>

unto the country <0776> of Gilead <1568>, to the land <0776> of

their possession <0272>, whereof <0834> they were possessed

<0270>, according <5921> to the word <6310> of the LORD <3068>

by the hand <3027> of Moses <4872>.

10. And when they came <0935> unto the borders <1552> of Jordan

<3383>, that [are] in the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, the

children <1121> of Reuben <7205> and the children <1121> of Gad

<1410> and the half <2677> tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519> built

<1129> there <8033> an altar <4196> by Jordan <3383>, a great

<1419> altar <4196> to see <4758> to.

11 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> heard <8085> say

<0559>, Behold <2009>, the children <1121> of Reuben <7205> and

the children <1121> of Gad <1410> and the half <2677> tribe

<7626> of Manasseh <4519> have built <1129> an altar <4196> over

against <4136> the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, in the borders

<1552> of Jordan <3383>, at <0413> the passage <1552> of the

children <1121> of Israel <3478>.

12 And when the children <1121> of Israel <3478> heard <8085>

[of it], the whole <3605> congregation <5712> of the children

<1121> of Israel <3478> gathered <6950> themselves together at

Shiloh <7887>, to go <5927> up to war <6635> against <5921> them.

13 And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> sent <7971> unto

the children <1121> of Reuben <7205>, and to the children <1121>

of Gad <1410>, and to the half <2677> tribe <7626> of Manasseh

<4519>, into <0413> the land <0776> of Gilead <1568>, Phinehas

<6372> the son <1121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <3548>,

14 And with him ten <6235> princes <5387>, of each <0259> chief

<1> house <1004> a prince <5387> throughout all <3605> the

tribes <4294> of Israel <3478>; and each one <0376> [was] an

head <7218> of the house <1004> of their fathers <1> among the

thousands <0505> of Israel <3478>.

15 And they came <0935> unto the children <1121> of Reuben

<7205>, and to the children <1121> of Gad <1410>, and to the

half <2677> tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519>, unto the land

<0776> of Gilead <1568>, and they spake <1696> with them, saying

<0559>,

16 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the whole <3605> congregation

<5712> of the LORD <3068>, What <4100> trespass <4604> [is] this

<2088> that ye have committed <4600> against the God <0430> of

Israel <3478>, to turn <7725> away this day <3117> from

following <0310> the LORD <3068>, in that ye have builded <1129>

you an altar <4196>, that ye might rebel <4775> this day <3117>

against the LORD <3068>?

17 [Is] the iniquity <5771> of Peor <6465> too little <4592>

for us, from which <0834> we are not cleansed <2891> until

<5704> this <2088> day <3117>, although there was a plague

<5063> in the congregation <5712> of the LORD <3068>,

18 But that ye must turn <7725> away this day <3117> from

following <0310> the LORD <3068>? and it will be, [seeing] ye

rebel <4775> to day <3117> against the LORD <3068>, that to

morrow <4279> he will be wroth <7107> with the whole <3605>

congregation <5712> of Israel <3478>.

19 Notwithstanding <0389>, if <0518> the land <0776> of your

possession <0272> [be] unclean <2931>, [then] pass <5674> ye

over <5674> unto the land <0776> of the possession <0272> of the

LORD <3068>, wherein the LORD'S <3068> tabernacle <4908>

dwelleth <7931>, and take <0270> possession <0270> among <8432>

us: but rebel <4775> not against the LORD <3068>, nor <0408>

rebel <4775> against us, in building <1129> you an altar <4196>

beside <1107> the altar <4196> of the LORD <3068> our God <0430>.

20 Did not Achan <5912> the son <1121> of Zerah <2226> commit

<4603> a trespass <4604> in the accursed <2764> thing, and wrath

<7110> fell <1961> on <5921> all <3605> the congregation <5712>

of Israel <3478>? and that man <0376> perished <1478> not alone

<0259> in his iniquity <5771>.

21. Then the children <1121> of Reuben <7205> and the children

<1121> of Gad <1410> and the half <2677> tribe <7626> of

Manasseh <4519> answered <6030>, and said <1696> unto the heads

<7218> of the thousands <0505> of Israel <3478>,

22 The LORD <3068> God <0410> of gods <0430>, the LORD <3068>

God <0410> of gods <0430>, he knoweth <3045>, and Israel <3478>

he shall know <3045>; if <0518> [it be] in rebellion <4779>, or

if <0518> in transgression <4604> against the LORD <3068>, (save

us not this <2088> day <3117>,)

23 That we have built <1129> us an altar <4196> to turn <7725>

from following <0310> the LORD <3068>, or if <0518> to offer

<5927> thereon <5921> burnt <5930> offering or meat offering

<4503>, or if <0518> to offer <6213> peace <8002> offerings

<2077> thereon <5921>, let the LORD <3068> himself require

<1245> [it];

24 And if <0518> we have not [rather] done <6213> it for fear

<1674> of [this <2063>] thing <1697>, saying <0559>, In time

<4279> to come <4279> your children <1121> might speak <0559>

unto our children <1121>, saying <0559>, What <4100> have ye to

do with the LORD <3068> God <0430> of Israel <3478>?

25 For the LORD <3068> hath made <5414> Jordan <3383> a border

<1366> between <0996> us and you, ye children <1121> of Reuben

<7205> and children <1121> of Gad <1410>; ye have no <0369> part

<2506> in the LORD <3068>: so shall your children <1121> make

our children <1121> cease <7673> from fearing <3372> the LORD

<3068>.

26 Therefore we said <0559>, Let us now <4994> prepare <6213>

to build <1129> us an altar <4196>, not for burnt <5930>

offering, nor <3808> for sacrifice <2077>:

27 But [that] it [may be] a witness <5707> between <0996> us,

and you, and our generations <1755> after <0310> us, that we

might do <5647> the service <5656> of the LORD <3068> before

<6440> him with our burnt <5930> offerings, and with our

sacrifices <2077>, and with our peace <8002> offerings; that

your children <1121> may not say <0559> to our children <1121>

in time <4279> to come <4279>, Ye have no <0369> part <2506> in

the LORD <3068>.

28 Therefore said <0559> we, that it shall be, when <3588> they

should [so] say <0559> to us or to our generations <1755> in

time <4279> to come <4279>, that we may say <0559> [again],

Behold <7200> the pattern <8403> of the altar <4196> of the LORD

<3068>, which <0834> our fathers <1> made <6213>, not for burnt

<5930> offerings, nor <3808> for sacrifices <2077>; but it [is]

a witness <5707> between <0996> us and you.

29 God forbid <2486> that we should rebel <4775> against the

LORD <3068>, and turn <7725> this day <3117> from following

<0310> the LORD <3068>, to build <1129> an altar <4196> for

burnt <5930> offerings, for meat offerings <4503>, or for

sacrifices <2077>, beside <0905> the altar <4196> of the LORD

<3068> our God <0430> that [is] before <6440> his tabernacle

<4908>.

30. And when Phinehas <6372> the priest <3548>, and the princes

<5387> of the congregation <5712> and heads <7218> of the

thousands <0505> of Israel <3478> which <0834> [were] with him,

heard <8085> the words <1697> that the children <1121> of Reuben

<7205> and the children <1121> of Gad <1410> and the children

<1121> of Manasseh <4519> spake <1696>, it pleased them.

31 And Phinehas <6372> the son <1121> of Eleazar <0499> the

priest <3548> said <0559> unto the children <1121> of Reuben

<7205>, and to the children <1121> of Gad <1410>, and to the

children <1121> of Manasseh <4519>, This day <3117> we perceive

<3045> that the LORD <3068> [is] among <8432> us, because <0834>

ye have not committed <4600> this <2088> trespass <4604> against

the LORD <3068>: now <0227> ye have delivered <5337> the

children <1121> of Israel <3478> out of the hand <3027> of the

LORD <3068>.

32 And Phinehas <6372> the son <1121> of Eleazar <0499> the

priest <3548>, and the princes <5387>, returned <7725> from the

children <1121> of Reuben <7205>, and from the children <1121>

of Gad <1410>, out of the land <0776> of Gilead <1568>, unto the

land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, to the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>, and brought <7725> them word <1697> again <7725>.

33 And the thing <1697> pleased the children <1121> of Israel

<3478>; and the children <1121> of Israel <3478> blessed <1288>

God <0430>, and did not intend <0559> to go <5927> up against

<5921> them in battle <6635>, to destroy <7843> the land <0776>

wherein <0834> the children <1121> of Reuben <7205> and Gad

<1410> dwelt <3427>.

34 And the children <1121> of Reuben <7205> and the children

<1121> of Gad <1410> called <7121> the altar <4196> [Ed]: for it

[shall be] a witness <5707> between <0996> us that the LORD

<3068> [is] God <0430>.

Joshua 23

1. And it came <1961> to pass a long <7227> time <3117> after

<0310> that the LORD <3068> had given rest <5117> unto Israel

<3478> from all <3605> their enemies <0341> round <5439> about,

that Joshua <3091> waxed old <2204> [and] stricken <0935> in age

<3117>.

2 And Joshua <3091> called <7121> for all <3605> Israel <3478>,

[and] for their elders <2205>, and for their heads <7218>, and

for their judges <8199>, and for their officers <7860>, and said

<0559> unto them, I am old <2204> [and] stricken <0935> in age

<3117>:

3 And ye have seen <7200> all <3605> that the LORD <3068> your

God <0430> hath done <6213> unto all <3605> these <0428> nations

<1471> because <6440> of you; for the LORD <3068> your God

<0430> [is] he that hath fought <3898> for you.

4 Behold <7200>, I have divided <5307> unto you by lot these

<0428> nations <1471> that remain <7604>, to be an inheritance

<5159> for your tribes <7626>, from Jordan <3383>, with all

<3605> the nations <1471> that I have cut <3772> off, even unto

the great <1419> sea <3220> westward.

5 And the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, he shall expel <1920>

them from before <6440> you, and drive <3423> them from out of

your sight <6440>; and ye shall possess <3423> their land <0776>,

as the LORD <3068> your God <0430> hath promised <1696> unto

you.

6 Be ye therefore very <3966> courageous <2388> to keep <8104>

and to do <6213> all <3605> that is written <3789> in the book

<5612> of the law <8451> of Moses <4872>, that ye turn <5493>

not aside therefrom [to] the right <3225> hand <3225> or [to]

the left <8040>;

7 That ye come <0935> not among these <0428> nations <1471>,

these <0428> that remain <7604> among you; neither <3808> make

mention <2142> of the name <8034> of their gods <0430>, nor

<3808> cause to swear <7650> [by them], neither <3808> serve

<5647> them, nor <3808> bow <7812> yourselves unto them:

8 But cleave <1692> unto the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, as ye

have done <6213> unto this <2088> day <3117>.

9 For the LORD <3068> hath driven <3423> out from before <6440>

you great <1419> nations <1471> and strong <6099>: but [as for]

you, no <3808> man <0376> hath been able <5975> to stand <5975>

before <6440> you unto this <2088> day <3117>.

10 One <0259> man <0376> of you shall chase <7291> a thousand

<0505>: for the LORD <3068> your God <0430>, he [it is] that

fighteth <3898> for you, as he hath promised <1696> you.

11. Take good <3966> heed <8104> therefore unto yourselves

<5315>, that ye love <0157> the LORD <3068> your God <0430>.

12 Else <3588> if ye do in any wise go <7725> back <7725>, and

cleave <1692> unto the remnant <3499> of these <0428> nations

<1471>, [even] these <0428> that remain <7604> among <0854> you,

and shall make marriages <2859> with them, and go <0935> in unto

them, and they to you:

13 Know <3045> for a certainty that the LORD <3068> your God

<0430> will no <3808> more <3254> drive <3423> out [any of]

these <0428> nations <1471> from before <6440> you; but they

shall be snares <6341> and traps <4170> unto you, and scourges

<7850> in your sides <6654>, and thorns <6975> in your eyes

<5869>, until <5704> ye perish <6> from off <5921> this <2063>

good <2896> land <0127> which <0834> the LORD <3068> your God

<0430> hath given <5414> you.

14 And, behold <2009>, this day <3117> I [am] going <1980> the

way <1870> of all <3605> the earth <0776>: and ye know <3045> in

all <3605> your hearts <3824> and in all <3605> your souls

<5315>, that not one <0259> thing <1697> hath failed <5307> of

all <3605> the good <2896> things <1697> which <0834> the LORD

<3068> your God <0430> spake <1696> concerning <5921> you; all

<3605> are come <0935> to pass unto you, [and] not one <0259>

thing <1697> hath failed <5307> thereof.

15 Therefore it shall come <1961> to pass, [that] as all <3605>

good <2896> things <1697> are come <0935> upon you, which <0834>

the LORD <3068> your God <0430> promised <1696> you; so <3651>

shall the LORD <3068> bring <0935> upon you all <3605> evil

<7451> things <1697>, until <5704> he have destroyed <8045> you

from off <5921> this <2063> good <2896> land <0127> which <0834>

the LORD <3068> your God <0430> hath given <5414> you.

16 When ye have transgressed <5674> the covenant <1285> of the

LORD <3068> your God <0430>, which <0834> he commanded <6680>

you, and have gone <1980> and served <5647> other <0312> gods

<0430>, and bowed <7812> yourselves to them; then shall the

anger <0639> of the LORD <3068> be kindled <2734> against you,

and ye shall perish <6> quickly <4120> from off <5921> the good

<2896> land <0776> which <0834> he hath given <5414> unto you.

Joshua 24

1. And Joshua <3091> gathered <0622> all <3605> the tribes

<7626> of Israel <3478> to Shechem <7927>, and called <7121> for

the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, and for their heads <7218>,

and for their judges <8199>, and for their officers <7860>; and

they presented <3320> themselves before <6440> God <0430>.

2 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto all <3605> the people

<5971>, Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> God <0430> of

Israel <3478>, Your fathers <1> dwelt <3427> on the other <5676>

side <5676> of the flood <5104> in old <5769> time <5769>,

[even] Terah <8646>, the father <1> of Abraham <85>, and the

father <1> of Nachor <5152>: and they served <5647> other <0312>

gods <0430>.

3 And I took <3947> your father <1> Abraham <85> from the other

<5676> side <5676> of the flood <5104>, and led <3212> him

throughout all <3605> the land <0776> of Canaan <3667>, and

multiplied <7235> his seed <2233>, and gave <5414> him Isaac

<3327>.

4 And I gave <5414> unto Isaac <3327> Jacob <3290> and Esau

<6215>: and I gave <5414> unto Esau <6215> mount <2022> Seir

<8165>, to possess <3423> it; but Jacob <3290> and his children

<1121> went <3381> down <3381> into Egypt <4714>.

5 I sent <7971> Moses <4872> also and Aaron <0175>, and I

plagued <5062> Egypt <4714>, according to that which <0834> I

did <6213> among <7130> them: and afterward <0310> I brought

<3318> you out.

6 And I brought <3318> your fathers <1> out of Egypt <4714>:

and ye came <0935> unto the sea <3220>; and the Egyptians <4714>

pursued <7291> after <0310> your fathers <1> with chariots

<7393> and horsemen <6571> unto the Red <5488> sea <3220>.

7 And when they cried <6817> unto the LORD <3068>, he put

<7760> darkness <3990> between <0996> you and the Egyptians

<4713>, and brought <0935> the sea <3220> upon them, and covered

<3680> them; and your eyes <5869> have seen <7200> what I have

done <6213> in Egypt <4714>: and ye dwelt <3427> in the

wilderness <4057> a long <7227> season <3117>.

8 And I brought <0935> you into the land <0776> of the Amorites

<0567>, which dwelt <3427> on the other <5676> side <5676>

Jordan <3383>; and they fought <3898> with you: and I gave

<5414> them into your hand <3027>, that ye might possess <3423>

their land <0776>; and I destroyed <8045> them from before

<6440> you.

9 Then Balak <1111> the son <1121> of Zippor <6834>, king

<4428> of Moab <4124>, arose <6965> and warred <3898> against

Israel <3478>, and sent <7971> and called <7121> Balaam <1109>

the son <1121> of Beor <1160> to curse <7043> you:

10 But I would <14> not hearken <8085> unto Balaam <1109>;

therefore he blessed <1288> you still: so I delivered <5337> you

out of his hand <3027>.

11 And ye went <5674> over <5674> Jordan <3383>, and came

<0935> unto Jericho <3405>: and the men <1167> of Jericho <3405>

fought <3898> against you, the Amorites <0567>, and the

Perizzites <6522>, and the Canaanites <3669>, and the Hittites

<2850>, and the Girgashites <1622>, the Hivites <2340>, and the

Jebusites <2983>; and I delivered <5414> them into your hand

<3027>.

12 And I sent <7971> the hornet <6880> before <6440> you, which

drave <1644> them out from before <6440> you, [even] the two

<8147> kings <4428> of the Amorites <0567>; [but] not with thy

sword <2719>, nor <3808> with thy bow <7198>.

13 And I have given <5414> you a land <0776> for which <0834>

ye did not labour <3021>, and cities <5892> which <0834> ye

built <1129> not, and ye dwell <3427> in them; of the vineyards

<3754> and oliveyards <2132> which <0834> ye planted <5193> not

do ye eat <0398>.

14 Now <6258> therefore fear <3372> the LORD <3068>, and serve

<5647> him in sincerity <8549> and in truth <0571>: and put

<5493> away <5493> the gods <0430> which <0834> your fathers <1>

served <5647> on the other <5676> side <5676> of the flood

<5104>, and in Egypt <4714>; and serve <5647> ye the LORD <3068>.

15. And if <0518> it seem evil <7489> unto you to serve <5647>

the LORD <3068>, choose <0977> you this day <3117> whom <4310>

ye will serve <5647>; whether <0518> the gods <0430> which

<0834> your fathers <1> served <5647> that [were] on the other

<5676> side <5676> of the flood <5104>, or the gods <0430> of

the Amorites <0567>, in whose <0834> land <0776> ye dwell <3427>:

but as for me and my house <1004>, we will serve <5647> the

LORD <3068>.

16 And the people <5971> answered <6030> and said <0559>, God

forbid <2486> that we should forsake <5800> the LORD <3068>, to

serve <5647> other <0312> gods <0430>;

17 For the LORD <3068> our God <0430>, he [it is] that brought

<5927> us up and our fathers <1> out of the land <0776> of Egypt

<4714>, from the house <1004> of bondage <5650>, and which

<0834> did <6213> those <0428> great <1419> signs <0226> in our

sight <5869>, and preserved <8104> us in all <3605> the way

<1870> wherein <0834> we went <1980>, and among all <3605> the

people <5971> through <7130> whom <0834> we passed <5674>:

18 And the LORD <3068> drave <1644> out from before <6440> us

all <3605> the people <5971>, even the Amorites <0567> which

dwelt <3427> in the land <0776>: [therefore] will we also <1571>

serve <5647> the LORD <3068>; for he [is] our God <0430>.

19 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto the people <5971>, Ye

cannot serve <5647> the LORD <3068>: for he [is] an holy <6918>

God <0430>; he [is] a jealous <7072> God <0410>; he will not

forgive <5375> your transgressions <6588> nor your sins <2403>.

20 If <3588> ye forsake <5800> the LORD <3068>, and serve

<5647> strange <5236> gods <0430>, then he will turn <7725> and

do you hurt <7489>, and consume <3615> you, after <0310> that he

hath done you good <3190>.

21 And the people <5971> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, Nay

<3808>; but we will serve <5647> the LORD <3068>.

22 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto the people <5971>, Ye

[are] witnesses <5707> against yourselves that ye have chosen

<0977> you the LORD <3068>, to serve <5647> him. And they said

<0559>, [We are] witnesses <5707>.

23 Now <6258> therefore put <5493> away <5493>, [said he], the

strange <5236> gods <0430> which <0834> [are] among <7130> you,

and incline <5186> your heart <3824> unto the LORD <3068> God

<0430> of Israel <3478>.

24 And the people <5971> said <0559> unto Joshua <3091>, The

LORD <3068> our God <0430> will we serve <5647>, and his voice

<6963> will we obey <8085>.

25 So Joshua <3091> made <3772> a covenant <1285> with the

people <5971> that day <3117>, and set <7760> them a statute

<2706> and an ordinance <4941> in Shechem <7927>.

26 And Joshua <3091> wrote <3789> these <0428> words <1697> in

the book <5612> of the law <8451> of God <0430>, and took <3947>

a great <1419> stone <68>, and set <6965> it up there <8033>

under <8478> an oak <0427>, that [was] by the sanctuary <4720>

of the LORD <3068>.

27 And Joshua <3091> said <0559> unto all <3605> the people

<5971>, Behold <2009>, this <2063> stone <68> shall be a witness

<5713> unto us; for it hath heard <8085> all <3605> the words

<0561> of the LORD <3068> which <0834> he spake <1696> unto us:

it shall be therefore a witness <5713> unto you, lest <6435> ye

deny <3584> your God <0430>.

28 So Joshua <3091> let the people <5971> depart <7971>, every

man <0376> unto his inheritance <5159>.

29. And it came <1961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things

<1697>, that Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126>, the

servant <5650> of the LORD <3068>, died <4191>, [being] an

hundred <3967> and ten <6235> years <8141> old <1121>.

30 And they buried <6912> him in the border <1366> of his

inheritance <5159> in Timnathserah <8556>, which <0834> [is] in

mount <2022> Ephraim <0669>, on the north <6828> side of the

hill <2022> of Gaash <1608>.

31 And Israel <3478> served <5647> the LORD <3068> all <3605>

the days <3117> of Joshua <3091>, and all <3605> the days <3117>

of the elders <2205> that overlived Joshua <3091>, and which

<0834> had known <3045> all <3605> the works <4639> of the LORD

<3068>, that he had done <6213> for Israel <3478>.

32 And the bones <6106> of Joseph <3130>, which <0834> the

children <1121> of Israel <3478> brought <5927> up out of Egypt

<4714>, buried <6912> they in Shechem <7927>, in a parcel <2513>

of ground <7704> which <0834> Jacob <3290> bought <7069> of the

sons <1121> of Hamor <2544> the father <1> of Shechem <7927> for

an hundred <3967> pieces of silver <7192>: and it became <1961>

the inheritance <5159> of the children <1121> of Joseph <3130>.

33 And Eleazar <0499> the son <1121> of Aaron <0175> died

<4191>; and they buried <6912> him in a hill <1389> [that

pertained to] Phinehas <6372> his son <1121>, which <0834> was

given <5414> him in mount <2022> Ephraim <0669>.
