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

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

JO 01:01 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD

it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,

Moses' minister, saying,

JO 01:02 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go

over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which

I do give to them, [even] to the children of Israel.

JO 01:03 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread

upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

JO 01:04 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the

great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites,

and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall

be your coast.

JO 01:05 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee

all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be

with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

JO 01:06 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people

shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware

unto their fathers to give them.

JO 01:07 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou

mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my

servant commanded thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or

[to] the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

JO 01:08 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy

mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou

mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:

for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt

have good success.

JO 01:09 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good

courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD

thy God [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest.

JO 01:10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people,

saying,

JO 01:11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying,

Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over

this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your

God giveth you to possess it.

JO 01:12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to

half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

JO 01:13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD

commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest,

and hath given you this land.

JO 01:14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall

remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but

ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of

valour, and help them;

JO 01:15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he

hath given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the

LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of

your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant

gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

JO 01:16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou

commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we

will go.

JO 01:17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things,

so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee,

as he was with Moses.

JO 01:18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel against thy

commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that

thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong

and of a good courage.

JO 02:01 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men

to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And

they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and

lodged there.

JO 02:02 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold,

there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to

search out the country.

JO 02:03 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying,

Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered

into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

JO 02:04 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and

said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they

[were]:

JO 02:05 And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of

the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the

men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall

overtake them.

JO 02:06 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house,

and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in

order upon the roof.

JO 02:07 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto

the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were

gone out, they shut the gate.

JO 02:08 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them

upon the roof;

JO 02:09 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath

given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and

that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

JO 02:10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of

the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did

unto the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other

side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

JO 02:11 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our

hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in

any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in

heaven above, and in earth beneath.

JO 02:12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD,

since I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show

kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

JO 02:13 And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my

mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have,

and deliver our lives from death.

JO 02:14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye

utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath

given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

JO 02:15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window:

for her house [was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the

wall.

JO 02:16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest

the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days,

until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

JO 02:17 And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of

this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

JO 02:18 Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind

this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let

us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and

thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

JO 02:19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go out of the

doors of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon

his head, and we [will be] guiltless: and whosoever shall be

with thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if

[any] hand be upon him.

JO 02:20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be

quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

JO 02:21 And she said, According unto your words, so [be] it.

And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the

scarlet line in the window.

JO 02:22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode

there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the

pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them]

not.

JO 02:23 So the two men returned, and descended from the

mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun,

and told him all [things] that befell them:

JO 02:24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath

delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the

inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

JO 03:01 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they

removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the

children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.

JO 03:02 And it came to pass after three days, that the

officers went through the host;

JO 03:03 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see

the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests

the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place,

and go after it.

JO 03:04 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about

two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye

may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed

[this] way heretofore.

JO 03:05 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves:

for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

JO 03:06 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up

the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And

they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

JO 03:07 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin

to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know

that, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.

JO 03:08 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark

of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the

water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.

JO 03:09 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come

hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

JO 03:10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living

God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out

from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the

Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the

Amorites, and the Jebusites.

JO 03:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all

the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

JO 03:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes

of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

JO 03:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of

the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord

of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the

waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come

down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

JO 03:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from

their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the

ark of the covenant before the people;

JO 03:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan,

and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the

brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the

time of harvest,)

JO 03:16 That the waters which came down from above stood

[and] rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that

[is] beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of

the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and

the people passed over right against Jericho.

JO 03:17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of

the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and

all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the

people were passed clean over Jordan.

JO 04:01 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean

passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

JO 04:02 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every

tribe a man,

JO 04:03 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of

the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet

stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you,

and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this

night.

JO 04:04 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had

prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

JO 04:05 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark

of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up

every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the

number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

JO 04:06 That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your

children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What

[mean] ye by these stones?

JO 04:07 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan

were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it

passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these

stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for

ever.

JO 04:08 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded,

and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the

LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of

the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the

place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

JO 04:09 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of

Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare

the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.

JO 04:10 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst

of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD

commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that

Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.

JO 04:11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean

passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the

priests, in the presence of the people.

JO 04:12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad,

and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the

children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:

JO 04:13 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over

before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

JO 04:14 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of

all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the

days of his life.

JO 04:15 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

JO 04:16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the

testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.

JO 04:17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come

ye up out of Jordan.

JO 04:18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the

ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of

Jordan, [and] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto

the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their

place, and flowed over all his banks, as [they did] before.

JO 04:19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth

[day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east

border of Jericho.

JO 04:20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of

Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

JO 04:21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying,

When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come,

saying, What [mean] these stones?

JO 04:22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel

came over this Jordan on dry land.

JO 04:23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan

from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God

did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we

were gone over:

JO 04:24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand

of the LORD, that it [is] mighty: that ye might fear the LORD

your God for ever.

JO 05:01 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the

Amorites, which [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all

the kings of the Canaanites, which [were] by the sea, heard that

the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the

children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart

melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of

the children of Israel.

JO 05:02 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee

sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the

second time.

JO 05:03 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the

children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

JO 05:04 And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise:

All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even]

all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after

they came out of Egypt.

JO 05:05 Now all the people that came out were circumcised:

but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way

as they came forth out of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.

JO 05:06 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the

wilderness, till all the people [that were] men of war, which

came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the

voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not

show them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that

he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

JO 05:07 And their children, [whom] he raised up in their

stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised,

because they had not circumcised them by the way.

JO 05:08 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising

all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp,

till they were whole.

JO 05:09 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled

away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of

the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

JO 05:10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and

kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in

the plains of Jericho.

JO 05:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the

morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn]

in the selfsame day.

JO 05:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had

eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of

Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land

of Canaan that year.

JO 05:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that

he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man

over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua

went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our

adversaries?

JO 05:14 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the

LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth,

and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his

servant?

JO 05:15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua,

Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou

standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so.

JO 06:01 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the

children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

JO 06:02 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into

thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men

of valour.

JO 06:03 And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war,

[and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

JO 06:04 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven

trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass

the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the

trumpets.

JO 06:05 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long

[blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the

trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the

wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall

ascend up every man straight before him.

JO 06:06 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and

said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven

priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the

LORD.

JO 06:07 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the

city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the

LORD.

JO 06:08 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the

people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of

rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the

trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

JO 06:09 And the armed men went before the priests that blew

with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, [the

priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

JO 06:10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall

not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall

[any] word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you

shout; then shall ye shout.

JO 06:11 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going

about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the

camp.

JO 06:12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests

took up the ark of the LORD.

JO 06:13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams'

horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew

with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the

rereward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] going on,

and blowing with the trumpets.

JO 06:14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and

returned into the camp: so they did six days.

JO 06:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they

rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city

after the same manner seven times: only on that day they

compassed the city seven times.

JO 06:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the

priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people,

Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

JO 06:17 And the city shall be accursed, [even] it, and all

that [are] therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall

live, she and all that [are] with her in the house, because she

hid the messengers that we sent.

JO 06:18 And ye, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the

accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, when ye take

of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and

trouble it.

JO 06:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass

and iron, [are] consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into

the treasury of the LORD.

JO 06:20 So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with

the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the

sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout,

that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into

the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

JO 06:21 And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city,

both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass,

with the edge of the sword.

JO 06:22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied

out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out

thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

JO 06:23 And the young men that were spies went in, and

brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her

brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her

kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

JO 06:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was]

therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass

and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

JO 06:25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her

father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in

Israel [even] unto this day; because she hid the messengers,

which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

JO 06:26 And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying,

Cursed [be] the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth

this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his

firstborn, and in his youngest [son] shall he set up the gates

of it.

JO 06:27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was

[noised] throughout all the country.

JO 07:01 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in

the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of

Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the

accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against

the children of Israel.

JO 07:02 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is]

beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them,

saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and

viewed Ai.

JO 07:03 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let

not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand

men go up and smite Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour

thither; for they [are but] few.

JO 07:04 So there went up thither of the people about three

thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

JO 07:05 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six

men: for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto

Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts

of the people melted, and became as water.

JO 07:06 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth

upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he

and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

JO 07:07 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast

thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into

the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had

been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

JO 07:08 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their

backs before their enemies!

JO 07:09 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the

land shall hear [of it], and shall environ us round, and cut off

our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great

name?

JO 07:10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore

liest thou thus upon thy face?

JO 07:11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed

my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of

the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also,

and they have put [it] even among their own stuff.

JO 07:12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand

before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their

enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you

any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

JO 07:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves

against tomorrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There

is] an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst

not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed

thing from among you.

JO 07:14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought

according to your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe

which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families

[thereof]; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come

by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall

come man by man.

JO 07:15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the

accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath:

because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and

because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

JO 07:16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought

Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

JO 07:17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the

family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the

Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

JO 07:18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan,

the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the

tribe of Judah, was taken.

JO 07:19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee,

glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him;

and tell me now what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me.

JO 07:20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have

sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I

done:

JO 07:21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish

garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold

of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and,

behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the midst of my tent,

and the silver under it.

JO 07:22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent;

and, behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

JO 07:23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and

brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel,

and laid them out before the LORD.

JO 07:24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the

son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of

gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his

asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and

they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

JO 07:25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD

shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with

stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them

with stones.

JO 07:26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto

this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger.

Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor,

unto this day.

JO 08:01 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be

thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise,

go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and

his people, and his city, and his land:

JO 08:02 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst

unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the

cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay

thee an ambush for the city behind it.

JO 08:03 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up

against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of

valour, and sent them away by night.

JO 08:04 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie

in wait against the city, [even] behind the city: go not very

far from the city, but be ye all ready:

JO 08:05 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will

approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they

come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before

them,

JO 08:06 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn

them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as

at the first: therefore we will flee before them.

JO 08:07 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon

the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

JO 08:08 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, [that]

ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of

the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

JO 08:09 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to

lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side

of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

JO 08:10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered

the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the

people to Ai.

JO 08:11 And all the people, [even the people] of war that

[were] with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the

city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now [there was] a

valley between them and Ai.

JO 08:12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to

lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the

city.

JO 08:13 And when they had set the people, [even] all the host

that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on

the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of

the valley.

JO 08:14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it],

that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went

out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time

appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that [there were]

liers in ambush against him behind the city.

JO 08:15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten

before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

JO 08:16 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called

together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua,

and were drawn away from the city.

JO 08:17 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that

went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and

pursued after Israel.

JO 08:18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear

that [is] in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine

hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his

hand toward the city.

JO 08:19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and

they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they

entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city

on fire.

JO 08:20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw,

and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and

they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people

that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

JO 08:21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush

had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended,

then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

JO 08:22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so

they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on

that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them

remain or escape.

JO 08:23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him

to Joshua.

JO 08:24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of

slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the

wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all

fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that

all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge

of the sword.

JO 08:25 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both

of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of

Ai.

JO 08:26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he

stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the

inhabitants of Ai.

JO 08:27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel

took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the

LORD which he commanded Joshua.

JO 08:28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever,

[even] a desolation unto this day.

JO 08:29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide:

and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they

should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the

entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap

of stones, [that remaineth] unto this day.

JO 08:30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of

Israel in mount Ebal,

JO 08:31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the

children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of

Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up

[any] iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the

LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

JO 08:32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law

of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of

Israel.

JO 08:33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and

their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before

the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of

the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them;

half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over

against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had

commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

JO 08:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the

blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the

book of the law.

JO 08:35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded,

which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel,

with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were

conversant among them.

JO 09:01 And it came to pass, when all the kings which [were]

on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in

all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the

Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the

Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [thereof];

JO 09:02 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with

Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

JO 09:03 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua

had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

JO 09:04 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they

had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and

wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

JO 09:05 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old

garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry

[and] mouldy.

JO 09:06 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and

said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far

country: now therefore make ye a league with us.

JO 09:07 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites,

Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league

with you?

JO 09:08 And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And

Joshua said unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence come ye?

JO 09:09 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy

servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for

we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

JO 09:10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites,

that [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og

king of Bashan, which [was] at Ashtaroth.

JO 09:11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our

country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the

journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We [are] your

servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

JO 09:12 This our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of

our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now,

behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:

JO 09:13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were]

new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our

shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

JO 09:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not

[counsel] at the mouth of the LORD.

JO 09:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league

with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation

sware unto them.

JO 09:16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after

they had made a league with them, that they heard that they

[were] their neighbours, and [that] they dwelt among them.

JO 09:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto

their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon,

and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.

JO 09:18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because

the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD

God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the

princes.

JO 09:19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation,

We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore

we may not touch them.

JO 09:20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live,

lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto

them.

JO 09:21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but

let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the

congregation; as the princes had promised them.

JO 09:22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them,

saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We [are] very far

from you; when ye dwell among us?

JO 09:23 Now therefore ye [are] cursed, and there shall none

of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and

drawers of water for the house of my God.

JO 09:24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was

certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded

his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all

the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were

sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this

thing.

JO 09:25 And now, behold, we [are] in thine hand: as it

seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

JO 09:26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of

the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

JO 09:27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and

drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the

LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

JO 10:01 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of

Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly

destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had

done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had

made peace with Israel, and were among them;

JO 10:02 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a

great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was]

greater than Ai, and all the men thereof [were] mighty.

JO 10:03 Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto

Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto

Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

JO 10:04 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite

Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children

of Israel.

JO 10:05 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of

Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of

Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and

went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon,

and made war against it.

JO 10:06 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to

Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to

us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the

Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together

against us.

JO 10:07 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the

people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

JO 10:08 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I

have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of

them stand before thee.

JO 10:09 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went

up from Gilgal all night.

JO 10:10 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew

them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the

way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and

unto Makkedah.

JO 10:11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel,

[and] were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast

down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they

died: [they were] more which died with hailstones than [they]

whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

JO 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the

LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel,

and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon

Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

JO 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until

the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not

this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in

the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

JO 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it,

that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD

fought for Israel.

JO 10:15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto

the camp to Gilgal.

JO 10:16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a

cave at Makkedah.

JO 10:17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are

found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

JO 10:18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of

the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

JO 10:19 And stay ye not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and

smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their

cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

JO 10:20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of

Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great

slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest [which]

remained of them entered into fenced cities.

JO 10:21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at

Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the

children of Israel.

JO 10:22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and

bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.

JO 10:23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings

unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of

Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king

of Eglon.

JO 10:24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those

kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel,

and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him,

Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And

they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

JO 10:25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed,

be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all

your enemies against whom ye fight.

JO 10:26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and

hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees

until the evening.

JO 10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of

the sun, [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down off

the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid,

and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, [which remain] until

this very day.

JO 10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with

the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed,

them, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain:

and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of

Jericho.

JO 10:29 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with

him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

JO 10:30 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof,

into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the

sword, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain

in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of

Jericho.

JO 10:31 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with

him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against

it:

JO 10:32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of

Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the

edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein,

according to all that he had done to Libnah.

JO 10:33 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and

Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none

remaining.

JO 10:34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all

Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought

against it:

JO 10:35 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the

edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein he

utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to

Lachish.

JO 10:36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with

him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:

JO 10:37 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the

sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all

the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining, according

to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and

all the souls that [were] therein.

JO 10:38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to

Debir; and fought against it:

JO 10:39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the

cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword,

and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] therein; he left

none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir,

and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to

her king.

JO 10:40 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of

the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their

kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that

breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

JO 10:41 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto

Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

JO 10:42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at

one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

JO 10:43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto

the camp to Gilgal.

JO 11:01 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had

heard [those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and

to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

JO 11:02 And to the kings that [were] on the north of the

mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the

valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,

JO 11:03 [And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west,

and [to] the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and

the Jebusite in the mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon

in the land of Mizpeh.

JO 11:04 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them,

much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in

multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

JO 11:05 And when all these kings were met together, they came

and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against

Israel.

JO 11:06 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because

of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up

all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn

their chariots with fire.

JO 11:07 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him,

against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon

them.

JO 11:08 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel,

who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto

Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they

smote them, until they left them none remaining.

JO 11:09 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he

hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

JO 11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor,

and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime

was the head of all those kingdoms.

JO 11:11 And they smote all the souls that [were] therein with

the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not

any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

JO 11:12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings

of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the

sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of

the LORD commanded.

JO 11:13 But [as for] the cities that stood still in their

strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; [that]

did Joshua burn.

JO 11:14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle,

the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but

every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had

destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

JO 11:15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses

command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all

that the LORD commanded Moses.

JO 11:16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the

south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and

the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the

same;

JO 11:17 [Even] from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir,

even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon:

and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.

JO 11:18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

JO 11:19 There was not a city that made peace with the

children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon:

all [other] they took in battle.

JO 11:20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that

they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy

them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he

might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

JO 11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims

from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from

all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel:

Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.

JO 11:22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the

children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there

remained.

JO 11:23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that

the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance

unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And

the land rested from war.

JO 12:01 Now these [are] the kings of the land, which the

children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other

side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon

unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

JO 12:02 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon,

[and] ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river

Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead,

even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the

children of Ammon;

JO 12:03 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the

east, and unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea on the

east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under

Ashdothpisgah:

JO 12:04 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, [which was] of

the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

JO 12:05 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in

all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the

Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of

Heshbon.

JO 12:06 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the

children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave

it [for] a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and

the half tribe of Manasseh.

JO 12:07 And these [are] the kings of the country which Joshua

and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west,

from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak,

that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of

Israel [for] a possession according to their divisions;

JO 12:08 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the

plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the

south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites,

the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

JO 12:09 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which [is]

beside Bethel, one;

JO 12:10 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

JO 12:11 The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

JO 12:12 The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;

JO 12:13 The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

JO 12:14 The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;

JO 12:15 The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;

JO 12:16 The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

JO 12:17 The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;

JO 12:18 The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;

JO 12:19 The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

JO 12:20 The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph,

one;

JO 12:21 The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

JO 12:22 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of

Carmel, one;

JO 12:23 The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of

the nations of Gilgal, one;

JO 12:24 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.

JO 13:01 Now Joshua was old [and] stricken in years; and the

LORD said unto him, Thou art old [and] stricken in years, and

there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

JO 13:02 This [is] the land that yet remaineth: all the

borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,

JO 13:03 From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even unto the

borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite:

five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the

Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites;

also the Avites:

JO 13:04 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and

Mearah that [is] beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders

of the Amorites:

JO 13:05 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward

the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering

into Hamath.

JO 13:06 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon

unto Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive

out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by

lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded

thee.

JO 13:07 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance

unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

JO 13:08 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have

received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan

eastward, [even] as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;

JO 13:09 From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river

Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all

the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

JO 13:10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites,

which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of

Ammon;

JO 13:11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and

Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;

JO 13:12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in

Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the

giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

JO 13:13 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the

Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the

Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

JO 13:14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance;

the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are]

their inheritance, as he said unto them.

JO 13:15 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of

Reuben [inheritance] according to their families.

JO 13:16 And their coast was from Aroer, that [is] on the bank

of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the

river, and all the plain by Medeba;

JO 13:17 Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain;

Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,

JO 13:18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

JO 13:19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the

mount of the valley,

JO 13:20 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,

JO 13:21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom

of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom

Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur,

and Hur, and Reba, [which were] dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the

country.

JO 13:22 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the

children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were

slain by them.

JO 13:23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan,

and the border [thereof]. This [was] the inheritance of the

children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the

villages thereof.

JO 13:24 And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad,

[even] unto the children of Gad according to their families.

JO 13:25 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of

Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer

that [is] before Rabbah;

JO 13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and

from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;

JO 13:27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and

Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of

Heshbon, Jordan and [his] border, [even] unto the edge of the

sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.

JO 13:28 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad

after their families, the cities, and their villages.

JO 13:29 And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the half tribe of

Manasseh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half tribe of

the children of Manasseh by their families.

JO 13:30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all

the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair,

which [are] in Bashan, threescore cities:

JO 13:31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of

the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] unto the children

of Machir the son of Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the

children of Machir by their families.

JO 13:32 These [are the countries] which Moses did distribute

for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan,

by Jericho, eastward.

JO 13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any]

inheritance: the LORD God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as

he said unto them.

JO 14:01 And these [are the countries] which the children of

Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest,

and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the

tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to

them.

JO 14:02 By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded

by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half

tribe.

JO 14:03 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and

an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he

gave none inheritance among them.

JO 14:04 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh

and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the

land, save cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their

cattle and for their substance.

JO 14:05 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of

Israel did, and they divided the land.

JO 14:06 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal:

and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou

knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God

concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.

JO 14:07 Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the

LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I

brought him word again as [it was] in mine heart.

JO 14:08 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made

the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my

God.

JO 14:09 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land

whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and

thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the

LORD my God.

JO 14:10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he

said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this

word unto Moses, while [the children of] Israel wandered in the

wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this day fourscore and five

years old.

JO 14:11 As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the

day that Moses sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is]

my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

JO 14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD

spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims

[were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced:

if so be the LORD [will be] with me, then I shall be able to

drive them out, as the LORD said.

JO 14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son

of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

JO 14:14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the

son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he

wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

JO 14:15 And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba;

[which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had

rest from war.

JO 15:01 [This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children

of Judah by their families; [even] to the border of Edom the

wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the

south coast.

JO 15:02 And their south border was from the shore of the salt

sea, from the bay that looketh southward:

JO 15:03 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim,

and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto

Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,

and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

JO 15:04 [From thence] it passed toward Azmon, and went out

unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were

at the sea: this shall be your south coast.

JO 15:05 And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto

the end of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was]

from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:

JO 15:06 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along

by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone

of Bohan the son of Reuben:

JO 15:07 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley

of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is]

before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of

the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh,

and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:

JO 15:08 And the border went up by the valley of the son of

Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is]

Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain

that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at

the end of the valley of the giants northward:

JO 15:09 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill

unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the

cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah,

which [is] Kirjathjearim:

JO 15:10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto

mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim,

which [is] Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to

Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:

JO 15:11 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron

northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along

to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out

of the border were at the sea.

JO 15:12 And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the

coast [thereof]. This [is] the coast of the children of Judah

round about according to their families.

JO 15:13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part

among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the

LORD to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba the father of Anak,

which [city is] Hebron.

JO 15:14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak,

Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

JO 15:15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir:

and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher.

JO 15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and

taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

JO 15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb,

took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

JO 15:18 And it came to pass, as she came [unto him], that she

moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off

[her] ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?

JO 15:19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given

me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her

the upper springs, and the nether springs.

JO 15:20 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the

children of Judah according to their families.

JO 15:21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children

of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and

Eder, and Jagur,

JO 15:22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,

JO 15:23 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,

JO 15:24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,

JO 15:25 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, [and] Hezron, which

[is] Hazor,

JO 15:26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,

JO 15:27 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet,

JO 15:28 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,

JO 15:29 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,

JO 15:30 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,

JO 15:31 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,

JO 15:32 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all

the cities [are] twenty and nine, with their villages:

JO 15:33 [And] in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,

JO 15:34 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,

JO 15:35 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,

JO 15:36 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and

Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages:

JO 15:37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,

JO 15:38 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,

JO 15:39 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,

JO 15:40 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,

JO 15:41 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah;

sixteen cities with their villages:

JO 15:42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,

JO 15:43 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,

JO 15:44 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities

with their villages:

JO 15:45 Ekron, with her towns and her villages:

JO 15:46 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that [lay] near

Ashdod, with their villages:

JO 15:47 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her

towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great

sea, and the border [thereof]:

JO 15:48 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,

JO 15:49 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which [is] Debir,

JO 15:50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,

JO 15:51 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with

their villages:

JO 15:52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,

JO 15:53 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,

JO 15:54 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, and

Zior; nine cities with their villages:

JO 15:55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,

JO 15:56 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,

JO 15:57 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their

villages:

JO 15:58 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,

JO 15:59 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities

with their villages:

JO 15:60 Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah;

two cities with their villages:

JO 15:61 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,

JO 15:62 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six

cities with their villages.

JO 15:63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the

Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto

this day.

JO 16:01 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from

Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the

wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel.

JO 16:02 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along

unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,

JO 16:03 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti,

unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the

goings out thereof are at the sea.

JO 16:04 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took

their inheritance.

JO 16:05 And the border of the children of Ephraim according

to their families was [thus]: even the border of their

inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron

the upper;

JO 16:06 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah

on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto

Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

JO 16:07 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to

Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

JO 16:08 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the

river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This

[is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by

their families.

JO 16:09 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim

[were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all

the cities with their villages.

JO 16:10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in

Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this

day, and serve under tribute.

JO 17:01 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for

he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the

firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a

man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

JO 17:02 There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children

of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and

for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and

for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and

for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male children of

Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

JO 17:03 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead,

the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but

daughters: and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah,

and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

JO 17:04 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and

before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying,

The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our

brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he

gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

JO 17:05 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the

land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;

JO 17:06 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance

among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of

Gilead.

JO 17:07 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to

Michmethah, that [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went

along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.

JO 17:08 [Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah

on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;

JO 17:09 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah,

southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the

cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the

north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

JO 17:10 Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was]

Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in

Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.

JO 17:11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean

and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of

Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns,

and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the

inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.

JO 17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the

inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in

that land.

JO 17:13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were

waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did

not utterly drive them out.

JO 17:14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying,

Why hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit,

seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed

me hitherto?

JO 17:15 And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people,

[then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for

thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants,

if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

JO 17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not

enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of

the valley have chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of

Bethshean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the valley of

Jezreel.

JO 17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to

Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and

hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:

JO 17:18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood,

and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be

thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have

iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.

JO 18:01 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel

assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the

congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

JO 18:02 And there remained among the children of Israel seven

tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.

JO 18:03 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long

[are] ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of

your fathers hath given you?

JO 18:04 Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe:

and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the

land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and

they shall come [again] to me.

JO 18:05 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah

shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph

shall abide in their coasts on the north.

JO 18:06 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven

parts, and bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast

lots for you here before the LORD our God.

JO 18:07 But the Levites have no part among you; for the

priesthood of the LORD [is] their inheritance: and Gad, and

Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their

inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant

of the LORD gave them.

JO 18:08 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged

them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through

the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here

cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.

JO 18:09 And the men went and passed through the land, and

described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came

[again] to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.

JO 18:10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the

LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of

Israel according to their divisions.

JO 18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin

came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot

came forth between the children of Judah and the children of

Joseph.

JO 18:12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan;

and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side,

and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out

thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.

JO 18:13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to

the side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border

descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that [lieth] on the

south side of the nether Bethhoron.

JO 18:14 And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the

corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before

Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at

Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of

Judah: this [was] the west quarter.

JO 18:15 And the south quarter [was] from the end of

Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out

to the well of waters of Nephtoah:

JO 18:16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain

that [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which

[is] in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to

the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and

descended to Enrogel,

JO 18:17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to

Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over

against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of

Bohan the son of Reuben,

JO 18:18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah

northward, and went down unto Arabah:

JO 18:19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah

northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay

of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this [was] the south

coast.

JO 18:20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side.

This [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the

coasts thereof round about, according to their families.

JO 18:21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of

Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and

Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz.

JO 18:22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

JO 18:23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

JO 18:24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve

cities with their villages:

JO 18:25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

JO 18:26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

JO 18:27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

JO 18:28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which [is] Jerusalem,

Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages.

This [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according

to their families.

JO 19:01 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, [even] for

the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families:

and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children

of Judah.

JO 19:02 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and

Sheba, and Moladah,

JO 19:03 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,

JO 19:04 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

JO 19:05 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,

JO 19:06 And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and

their villages:

JO 19:07 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and

their villages:

JO 19:08 And all the villages that [were] round about these

cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This [is] the

inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to

their families.

JO 19:09 Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the

inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the

children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children

of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

JO 19:10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun

according to their families: and the border of their inheritance

was unto Sarid:

JO 19:11 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah,

and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is]

before Jokneam;

JO 19:12 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising

unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath,

and goeth up to Japhia.

JO 19:13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to

Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to

Neah;

JO 19:14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to

Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of

Jiphthahel:

JO 19:15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah,

and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

JO 19:16 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Zebulun

according to their families, these cities with their villages.

JO 19:17 [And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the

children of Issachar according to their families.

JO 19:18 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth,

and Shunem,

JO 19:19 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,

JO 19:20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,

JO 19:21 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and

Bethpazzez;

JO 19:22 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and

Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan:

sixteen cities with their villages.

JO 19:23 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the

children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and

their villages.

JO 19:24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the

children of Asher according to their families.

JO 19:25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten,

and Achshaph,

JO 19:26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth

to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;

JO 19:27 And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and

reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the

north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the

left hand,

JO 19:28 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, [even]

unto great Zidon;

JO 19:29 And [then] the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the

strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the

outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:

JO 19:30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two

cities with their villages.

JO 19:31 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the

children of Asher according to their families, these cities with

their villages.

JO 19:32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali,

[even] for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

JO 19:33 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to

Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the

outgoings thereof were at Jordan:

JO 19:34 And [then] the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor,

and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on

the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to

Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

JO 19:35 And the fenced cities [are] Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath,

Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

JO 19:36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

JO 19:37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,

JO 19:38 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and

Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

JO 19:39 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the

children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and

their villages.

JO 19:40 [And] the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the

children of Dan according to their families.

JO 19:41 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and

Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,

JO 19:42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

JO 19:43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

JO 19:44 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

JO 19:45 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,

JO 19:46 And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before

Japho.

JO 19:47 And the coast of the children of Dan went out [too

little] for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight

against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the

sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem,

Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

JO 19:48 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the

children of Dan according to their families, these cities with

their villages.

JO 19:49 When they had made an end of dividing the land for

inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an

inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

JO 19:50 According to the word of the LORD they gave him the

city which he asked, [even] Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and

he built the city, and dwelt therein.

JO 19:51 These [are] the inheritances, which Eleazar the

priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers

of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an

inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing

the country.

JO 20:01 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,

JO 20:02 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out

for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand

of Moses:

JO 20:03 That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares

[and] unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your

refuge from the avenger of blood.

JO 20:04 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities

shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall

declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they

shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place,

that he may dwell among them.

JO 20:05 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then

they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he

smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.

JO 20:06 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand

before the congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of

the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the

slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own

house, unto the city from whence he fled.

JO 20:07 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount

Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which

[is] Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.

JO 20:08 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward,

they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the

tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad,

and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.

JO 20:09 These were the cities appointed for all the children

of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that

whosoever killeth [any] person at unawares might flee thither,

and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood

before the congregation.

JO 21:01 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the

Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun,

and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children

of Israel;

JO 21:02 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of

Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give

us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

JO 21:03 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out

of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these

cities and their suburbs.

JO 21:04 And the lot came out for the families of the

Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, [which were]

of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of

the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen

cities.

JO 21:05 And the rest of the children of Kohath [had] by lot

out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the

tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

JO 21:06 And the children of Gershon [had] by lot out of the

families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher,

and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of

Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.

JO 21:07 The children of Merari by their families [had] out of

the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the

tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.

JO 21:08 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the

Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded

by the hand of Moses.

JO 21:09 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of

Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these

cities which are [here] mentioned by name,

JO 21:10 Which the children of Aaron, [being] of the families

of the Kohathites, [who were] of the children of Levi, had: for

theirs was the first lot.

JO 21:11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of

Anak, which [city is] Hebron, in the hill [country] of Judah,

with the suburbs thereof round about it.

JO 21:12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof,

gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

JO 21:13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest

Hebron with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer;

and Libnah with her suburbs,

JO 21:14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her

suburbs,

JO 21:15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her

suburbs,

JO 21:16 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs,

[and] Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those

two tribes.

JO 21:17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her

suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,

JO 21:18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs;

four cities.

JO 21:19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests,

[were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.

JO 21:20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the

Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had

the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.

JO 21:21 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount

Ephraim, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with

her suburbs,

JO 21:22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her

suburbs; four cities.

JO 21:23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs,

Gibbethon with her suburbs,

JO 21:24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs;

four cities.

JO 21:25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with

her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.

JO 21:26 All the cities [were] ten with their suburbs for the

families of the children of Kohath that remained.

JO 21:27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of

the Levites, out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh [they

gave] Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge

for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.

JO 21:28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her

suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,

JO 21:29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs;

four cities.

JO 21:30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her

suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,

JO 21:31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs;

four cities.

JO 21:32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee

with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and

Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three

cities.

JO 21:33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their

families [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.

JO 21:34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the

rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with

her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

JO 21:35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs;

four cities.

JO 21:36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her

suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,

JO 21:37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her

suburbs; four cities.

JO 21:38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with

her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and

Mahanaim with her suburbs,

JO 21:39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs;

four cities in all.

JO 21:40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their

families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites,

were [by] their lot twelve cities.

JO 21:41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession

of the children of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with

their suburbs.

JO 21:42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round

about them: thus [were] all these cities.

JO 21:43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he

sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and

dwelt therein.

JO 21:44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to

all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man

of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their

enemies into their hand.

JO 21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the

LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

JO 22:01 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites,

and the half tribe of Manasseh,

JO 22:02 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the

servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in

all that I commanded you:

JO 22:03 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto

this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the

LORD your God.

JO 22:04 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your

brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get

you unto your tents, [and] unto the land of your possession,

which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side

Jordan.

JO 22:05 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the

law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love

the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his

commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all

your heart and with all your soul.

JO 22:06 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they

went unto their tents.

JO 22:07 Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses

had given [possession] in Bashan: but unto the [other] half

thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan

westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents,

then he blessed them,

JO 22:08 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much

riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver,

and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much

raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

JO 22:09 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad

and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the

children of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of

Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their

possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word

of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

JO 22:10 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that

[are] in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the

children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an

altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

JO 22:11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the

children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of

Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in

the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

JO 22:12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the

whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves

together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.

JO 22:13 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of

Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of

Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar

the priest,

JO 22:14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a

prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was]

an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of

Israel.

JO 22:15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the

children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the

land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

JO 22:16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What

trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of

Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that

ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day

against the LORD?

JO 22:17 [Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from

which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a

plague in the congregation of the LORD,

JO 22:18 But that ye must turn away this day from following

the LORD? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the

LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole

congregation of Israel.

JO 22:19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be]

unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of

the LORD, wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take

possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel

against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the

LORD our God.

JO 22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in

the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of

Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

JO 22:21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad

and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads

of the thousands of Israel,

JO 22:22 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he

knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or

if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

JO 22:23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following

the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering,

or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself

require [it];

JO 22:24 And if we have not [rather] done it for fear of

[this] thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak

unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God

of Israel?

JO 22:25 For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and

you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part

in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from

fearing the LORD.

JO 22:26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an

altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

JO 22:27 But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you,

and our generations after us, that we might do the service of

the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our

sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may

not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the

LORD.

JO 22:28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should

[so] say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we

may say [again], Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD,

which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for

sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us and you.

JO 22:29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and

turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for

burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside

the altar of the LORD our God that [is] before his tabernacle.

JO 22:30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the

congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which [were]

with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the

children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased

them.

JO 22:31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto

the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the

children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD [is]

among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against

the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of

the hand of the LORD.

JO 22:32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the

princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the

children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of

Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

JO 22:33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the

children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up

against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children

of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

JO 22:34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad

called the altar [Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness between us

that the LORD [is] God.

JO 23:01 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD

had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about,

that Joshua waxed old [and] stricken in age.

JO 23:02 And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their

elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their

officers, and said unto them, I am old [and] stricken in age:

JO 23:03 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done

unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God

[is] he that hath fought for you.

JO 23:04 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations

that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan,

with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great

sea westward.

JO 23:05 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from

before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall

possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.

JO 23:06 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all

that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn

not aside therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left;

JO 23:07 That ye come not among these nations, these that

remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods,

nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow

yourselves unto them:

JO 23:08 But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done

unto this day.

JO 23:09 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great

nations and strong: but [as for] you, no man hath been able to

stand before you unto this day.

JO 23:10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD

your God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised

you.

JO 23:11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye

love the LORD your God.

JO 23:12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto

the remnant of these nations, [even] these that remain among you,

and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and

they to you:

JO 23:13 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no

more drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they

shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides,

and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land

which the LORD your God hath given you.

JO 23:14 And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the

earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls,

that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the

LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto

you, [and] not one thing hath failed thereof.

JO 23:15 Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good

things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you;

so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have

destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God

hath given you.

JO 23:16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD

your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other

gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the

LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from

off the good land which he hath given unto you.

JO 24:01 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to

Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their

heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they

presented themselves before God.

JO 24:02 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the

LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the

flood in old time, [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the

father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

JO 24:03 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of

the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and

multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

JO 24:04 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto

Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went

down into Egypt.

JO 24:05 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt,

according to that which I did among them: and afterward I

brought you out.

JO 24:06 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came

unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with

chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.

JO 24:07 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness

between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them,

and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in

Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

JO 24:08 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites,

which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you:

and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land;

and I destroyed them from before you.

JO 24:09 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and

warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of

Beor to curse you:

JO 24:10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he

blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

JO 24:11 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and

the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the

Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the

Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered

them into your hand.

JO 24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them

out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but]

not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.

JO 24:13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not

labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of

the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

JO 24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in

sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers

served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve

ye the LORD.

JO 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD,

choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which

your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood,

or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for

me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

JO 24:16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we

should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

JO 24:17 For the LORD our God, he [it is] that brought us up

and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of

bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and

preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the

people through whom we passed:

JO 24:18 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people,

even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we

also serve the LORD; for he [is] our God.

JO 24:19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the

LORD: for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will

not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

JO 24:20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then

he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he

hath done you good.

JO 24:21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will

serve the LORD.

JO 24:22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are] witnesses

against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve

him. And they said, [We are] witnesses.

JO 24:23 Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange gods

which [are] among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God

of Israel.

JO 24:24 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God

will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

JO 24:25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day,

and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

JO 24:26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law

of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak,

that [was] by the sanctuary of the LORD.

JO 24:27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this

stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the

words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore

a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

JO 24:28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his

inheritance.

JO 24:29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua

the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an

hundred and ten years old.

JO 24:30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance

in Timnathserah, which [is] in mount Ephraim, on the north side

of the hill of Gaash.

JO 24:31 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua,

and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which

had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

JO 24:32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel

brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of

ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of

Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the

inheritance of the children of Joseph.

JO 24:33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried

him in a hill [that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was

given him in mount Ephraim.
