Joshua 1


  • 1. Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> it came <01961> to pass, that the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>, Moses <04872>' minister <08334>, saying <0559>,
  • 2 Moses <04872> my servant <05650> is dead <04191>; now <06258> therefore arise <06965>, go <05674> over <05674> this Jordan <03383>, thou, and all <03605> this <02088> people <05971>, unto the land <0776> which <0834> I do give <05414> to them, [even] to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 3 Every <03605> place <04725> that the sole <03709> of your foot <07272> shall tread <01869> upon, that have I given <05414> unto you, as I said <01696> unto Moses <04872>.
  • 4 From the wilderness <04057> and this <02088> Lebanon <03844> even unto the great <01419> river <05104>, the river <05104> Euphrates <06578>, all <03605> the land <0776> of the Hittites <02850>, and unto the great <01419> sea <03220> toward the going <03996> down <03996> of the sun <08121>, shall be your coast <01366>.
  • 5 There shall not any man <0376> be able <03320> to stand <03320> before <06440> thee all <03605> the days <03117> of thy life <02416>: as I was with Moses <04872>, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail <07503> thee, nor <03808> forsake <05800> thee.
  • 6 Be strong <02388> and of a good courage <0553>: for unto this <02088> people <05971> shalt thou divide for an inheritance <05157> the land <0776>, which <0834> I sware <07650> unto their fathers <01> to give <05414> them.
  • 7 Only <07535> be thou strong <02388> and very <03966> courageous <0553>, that thou mayest observe <08104> to do <06213> according to all <03605> the law <08451>, which <0834> Moses <04872> my servant <05650> commanded <06680> thee: turn <05493> not from it [to] the right <03225> hand <03225> or [to] the left <08040>, that thou mayest prosper <07919> whithersoever thou goest <03212>.
  • 8 This <02088> book <05612> of the law <08451> shall not depart <04185> out of thy mouth <06310>; but thou shalt meditate <01897> therein day <03119> and night <03915>, that thou mayest observe <08104> to do <06213> according to all <03605> that is written <03789> therein: for then <0227> thou shalt make thy way <01870> prosperous <06743>, and then <0227> thou shalt have good success <07919>.
  • 9 Have not I commanded <06680> thee? Be strong <02388> and of a good courage <0553>; be not afraid <06206>, neither <0408> be thou dismayed <02865>: for the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> [is] with thee whithersoever thou goest <03212>.
  • 10. Then Joshua <03091> commanded <06680> the officers <07860> of the people <05971>, saying <0559>,
  • 11 Pass <05674> through <07130> the host <04264>, and command <06680> the people <05971>, saying <0559>, Prepare <03559> you victuals <06720>; for within <05750> three <07969> days <03117> ye shall pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088> Jordan <03383>, to go <0935> in to possess <03423> the land <0776>, which <0834> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414> you to possess <03423> it.
  • 12 And to the Reubenites <07206>, and to the Gadites <01425>, and to half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, spake <0559> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,
  • 13 Remember <02142> the word <01697> which <0834> Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> you, saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath given you rest <05117>, and hath given <05414> you this <02063> land <0776>.
  • 14 Your wives <0802>, your little <02945> ones, and your cattle <04735>, shall remain <03427> in the land <0776> which <0834> Moses <04872> gave <05414> you on this side <05676> Jordan <03383>; but ye shall pass <05674> before <06440> your brethren <0251> armed <02571>, all <03605> the mighty <01368> men of valour <02428>, and help <05826> them;
  • 15 Until <05704> the LORD <03068> have given your brethren <0251> rest <05117>, as [he hath given] you, and they also <01571> have possessed <03423> the land <0776> which <0834> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414> them: then ye shall return <07725> unto the land <0776> of your possession <03425>, and enjoy <03423> it, which <0834> Moses <04872> the LORD'S <03068> servant <05650> gave <05414> you on this side <05676> Jordan <03383> toward the sunrising.
  • 16. And they answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>, All <03605> that thou commandest <06680> us we will do <06213>, and whithersoever thou sendest <07971> us, we will go <03212>.
  • 17 According as we hearkened <08085> unto Moses <04872> in all <03605> things, so <03651> will we hearken <08085> unto thee: only <07535> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> be with thee, as he was with Moses <04872>.
  • 18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel <04784> against thy commandment <06310>, and will not hearken <08085> unto thy words <01697> in all <03605> that thou commandest <06680> him, he shall be put to death <04191>: only <07535> be strong <02388> and of a good courage <0553>.
  • Joshua 2
  • 1. And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126> sent <07971> out of Shittim <07851> two <08147> men <0582> to spy <07270> secretly <02791>, saying <0559>, Go <03212> view <07200> the land <0776>, even Jericho <03405>. And they went <03212>, and came <0935> into an harlot's <02181> house <01004>, named <08034> Rahab <07343>, and lodged <07901> there <08033>.
  • 2 And it was told <0559> the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>, saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, there came <0935> men <0582> in hither to night <03915> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> to search <02658> out the country <0776>.
  • 3 And the king <04428> of Jericho <03405> sent <07971> unto Rahab <07343>, saying <0559>, Bring <03318> forth <03318> the men <0582> that are come <0935> to thee, which <0834> are entered <0935> into thine house <01004>: for they be come <0935> to search <02658> out all <03605> the country <0776>.
  • 4 And the woman <0802> took <03947> the two <08147> men <0582>, and hid <06845> them, and said <0559> thus <03651>, There came <0935> men <0582> unto me, but I wist <03045> not whence <0370> they [were]:
  • 5 And it came <01961> to pass [about the time] of shutting <05462> of the gate <08179>, when it was dark <02822>, that the men <0582> went <03318> out: whither <0575> the men <0582> went <01980> I wot <03045> not: pursue <07291> after <0310> them quickly <04118>; for ye shall overtake <05381> them.
  • 6 But she had brought <05927> them up to the roof <01406> of the house, and hid <02934> them with the stalks <06086> of flax <06593>, which she had laid in order <06186> upon the roof <01406>.
  • 7 And the men <0582> pursued <07291> after <0310> them the way <01870> to Jordan <03383> unto the fords <04569>: and as soon <0834> as they which <0834> pursued <07291> after <0310> them were gone <03318> out, they shut <05462> the gate <08179>.
  • 8. And before <02962> they were laid <07901> down <07901>, she came <05927> up unto them upon the roof <01406>;
  • 9 And she said <0559> unto the men <0582>, I know <03045> that the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> you the land <0776>, and that your terror <0367> is fallen <05307> upon us, and that all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> faint <04127> because <06440> of you.
  • 10 For we have heard <08085> how <0834> the LORD <03068> dried <03001> up the water <04325> of the Red <05488> sea <03220> for you, when ye came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>; and what <0834> ye did <06213> unto the two <08147> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, that [were] on the other <05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383>, Sihon <05511> and Og <05747>, whom ye utterly destroyed <02763>.
  • 11 And as soon as we had heard <08085> [these things], our hearts <03824> did melt <04549>, neither <03808> did there remain <06965> any more <05750> courage <07307> in any man <0376>, because <06440> of you: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, he [is] God <0430> in heaven <08064> above <04605>, and in earth <0776> beneath <08478>.
  • 12 Now <06258> therefore, I pray <04994> you, swear <07650> unto me by the LORD <03068>, since <03588> I have shewed <06213> you kindness <02617>, that ye will also <01571> shew <06213> kindness <02617> unto my father's <01> house <01004>, and give <05414> me a true <0571> token <0226>:
  • 13 And [that] ye will save <02421> alive <02421> my father <01>, and my mother <0517>, and my brethren <0251>, and my sisters <0269>, and all <03605> that they have, and deliver <05337> our lives <05315> from death <04194>.
  • 14 And the men <0582> answered <0559> her, Our life <05315> for yours, if <0518> ye utter <05046> not this <02088> our business <01697>. And it shall be, when the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> us the land <0776>, that we will deal <06213> kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with thee.
  • 15 Then she let <03381> them down <03381> by a cord <02256> through <01157> the window <02474>: for her house <01004> [was] upon the town <07023> wall <02346>, and she dwelt <03427> upon the wall <02346>.
  • 16 And she said <0559> unto them, Get <03212> you to the mountain <02022>, lest <06435> the pursuers <07291> meet <06293> you; and hide <02247> yourselves there <08033> three <07969> days <03117>, until <05704> the pursuers <07291> be returned <07725>: and afterward <0310> may ye go <03212> your way <01870>.
  • 17 And the men <0582> said <0559> unto her, We [will be] blameless <05355> of this <02088> thine oath <07621> which <0834> thou hast made us swear <07650>.
  • 18 Behold <02009>, [when] we come <0935> into the land <0776>, thou shalt bind <07194> this <02088> line <08615> of scarlet <08144> thread <02339> in the window <02474> which <0834> thou didst let <03381> us down <03381> by: and thou shalt bring <0622> thy father <01>, and thy mother <0517>, and thy brethren <0251>, and all <03605> thy father's <01> household <01004>, home <01004> unto thee.
  • 19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go <03318> out of the doors <01817> of thy house <01004> into the street <02351>, his blood <01818> [shall be] upon his head <07218>, and we [will be] guiltless <05355>: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house <01004>, his blood <01818> [shall be] on our head <07218>, if <0518> [any] hand <03027> be upon him.
  • 20 And if <0518> thou utter <05046> this <02088> our business <01697>, then we will be quit <05355> of thine oath <07621> which <0834> thou hast made us to swear <07650>.
  • 21 And she said <0559>, According unto your words <01697>, so <03651> [be] it. And she sent <07971> them away, and they departed <03212>: and she bound <07194> the scarlet <08144> line <08515> in the window <02474>.
  • 22. And they went <03212>, and came <0935> unto the mountain <02022>, and abode <03427> there <08033> three <07969> days <03117>, until <05704> the pursuers <07291> were returned <07725>: and the pursuers <07291> sought <01245> [them] throughout all <03605> the way <01870>, but found <04672> [them] not.
  • 23 So the two <08147> men <0582> returned <07725>, and descended <03381> from the mountain <02022>, and passed <05674> over <05674>, and came <0935> to Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>, and told <05608> him all <03605> [things] that befell <04672> them:
  • 24 And they said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Truly <03588> the LORD <03068> hath delivered <05414> into our hands <03027> all <03605> the land <0776>; for even <01571> all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the country <0776> do faint <04127> because <06440> of us.
  • Joshua 3
  • 1. And Joshua <03091> rose <07925> early <07925> in the morning <01242>; and they removed <05265> from Shittim <07851>, and came <0935> to Jordan <03383>, he and all <03605> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and lodged <03885> there <08033> before <02962> they passed <05674> over <05674>.
  • 2 And it came <01961> to pass after <07097> three <07969> days <03117>, that the officers <07860> went <05974> through <07130> the host <04264>;
  • 3 And they commanded <06680> the people <05971>, saying <0559>, When ye see <07200> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and the priests <03548> the Levites <03881> bearing <05375> it, then ye shall remove <05265> from your place <04725>, and go <01980> after <0310> it.
  • 4 Yet <0389> there shall be a space <07350> between <0996> you and it, about two thousand <0505> cubits <0520> by measure <04060>: come <07126> not near <07126> unto it, that ye may know <03045> the way <01870> by which <0834> ye must go <03212>: for ye have not passed <05674> [this] way <01870> heretofore <08543>.
  • 5 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Sanctify <06942> yourselves: for to morrow <04279> the LORD <03068> will do <06213> wonders <06381> among <07130> you.
  • 6 And Joshua <03091> spake <0559> unto the priests <03548>, saying <0559>, Take <05375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>, and pass <05674> over <05674> before <06440> the people <05971>. And they took <05375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>, and went <03212> before <06440> the people <05971>.
  • 7. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, This <02088> day <03117> will I begin <02490> to magnify <01431> thee in the sight <05869> of all <03605> Israel <03478>, that they may know <03045> that, as I was with Moses <04872>, [so] I will be with thee.
  • 8 And thou shalt command <06680> the priests <03548> that bear <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>, saying <0559>, When ye are come <0935> to the brink <07097> of the water <04325> of Jordan <03383>, ye shall stand <05975> still in Jordan <03383>.
  • 9 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, Come <05066> hither <05066>, and hear <08085> the words <01697> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>.
  • 10 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Hereby <02063> ye shall know <03045> that the living <02416> God <0410> [is] among <07130> you, and [that] he will without fail drive <03423> out from before <06440> you the Canaanites <03669>, and the Hittites <02850>, and the Hivites <02340>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and the Girgashites <01622>, and the Amorites <0567>, and the Jebusites <02983>.
  • 11 Behold <02009>, the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the Lord <0113> of all <03605> the earth <0776> passeth <05674> over <05674> before <06440> you into Jordan <03383>.
  • 12 Now <06258> therefore take <03947> you twelve men <0376> out of the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478>, out of every tribe <07626> a man <0376>.
  • 13 And it shall come <01961> to pass, as soon as the soles <03709> of the feet <07272> of the priests <03548> that bear <05375> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>, the Lord <0113> of all <03605> the earth <0776>, shall rest <05117> in the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383>, [that] the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> shall be cut <03772> off [from] the waters <04325> that come <03381> down <03381> from above <04605>; and they shall stand <05975> upon an heap <05067>.
  • 14. And it came <01961> to pass, when the people <05971> removed <05265> from their tents <0168>, to pass <05674> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, and the priests <03548> bearing <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> before <06440> the people <05971>;
  • 15 And as they that bare <05375> the ark <0727> were come <0935> unto Jordan <03383>, and the feet <07272> of the priests <03548> that bare <05375> the ark <0727> were dipped <02881> in the brim <07097> of the water <04325>, (for Jordan <03383> overfloweth <04390> all <03605> his banks <01415> all <03605> the time <03117> of harvest <07105>,)
  • 16 That the waters <04325> which came <03381> down <03381> from above <04605> stood <05975> [and] rose <06965> up upon an heap <05067> very <03966> far <07368> from the city <05892> Adam <0121>, that [is] beside <06654> Zaretan: and those that came <03381> down <03381> toward <05921> the sea <03220> of the plain <06160>, [even] the salt <04417> sea <03220>, failed <08552>, [and] were cut <03772> off: and the people <05971> passed <05674> over <05674> right against <05048> Jericho <03405>.
  • 17 And the priests <03548> that bare <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> stood <05975> firm <03559> on dry <02724> ground in the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, and all <03605> the Israelites <03478> passed <05674> over <05674> on dry <02724> ground, until <05704> all <03605> the people <01471> were passed <05674> clean <08552> over <05674> Jordan <03383>.

  • 1. And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> all <03605> the people <01471> were clean <08552> passed <05674> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, that the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,
  • 2 Take <03947> you twelve men <0582> out of the people <05971>, out of every tribe <07626> a man <0376>,
  • 3 And command <06680> ye them, saying <0559>, Take <05375> you hence <02088> out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, out of the place where the priests <03548>' feet <07272> stood <04673> firm <03559>, twelve stones <068>, and ye shall carry <05674> them over <05674> with you, and leave <03241> them in the lodging <04411> place, where <0834> ye shall lodge <03885> this night <03915>.
  • 4 Then Joshua <03091> called <07121> the twelve men <0376>, whom <0834> he had prepared <03559> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, out of every tribe <07626> a man <0376>:
  • 5 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto them, Pass <05674> over <05674> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430> into <0413> the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, and take <07311> ye up every man <0376> of you a stone <068> upon his shoulder <07926>, according unto the number <04557> of the tribes <07626> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>:
  • 6 That this <02063> may be a sign <0226> among <07130> you, [that] when <03588> your children <01121> ask <07592> [their fathers] in time <04279> to come <04279>, saying <0559>, What <04100> [mean] ye by these <0428> stones <068>?
  • 7 Then ye shall answer <0559> them, That the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> were cut <03772> off before <06440> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>; when it passed <05674> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> were cut <03772> off: and these <0428> stones <068> shall be for a memorial <02146> unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478> for ever <05769>.
  • 8 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> so <03651> as Joshua <03091> commanded <06680>, and took <05375> up twelve stones <068> out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, as the LORD <03068> spake <01696> unto Joshua <03091>, according to the number <04557> of the tribes <07626> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and carried <05674> them over <05674> with them unto the place where <0413> they lodged <04411>, and laid <03241> them down there <08033>.
  • 9 And Joshua <03091> set <06965> up twelve stones <068> in the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, in the place where the feet <07272> of the priests <03548> which bare <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> stood <04673>: and they are there <08033> unto this <02063> day <03117>.
  • 10. For the priests <03548> which bare <05375> the ark <0727> stood <05975> in the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, until <05704> every <03605> thing was finished <08552> that the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Joshua <03091> to speak <01696> unto the people <05971>, according to all <03605> that Moses <04872> commanded <06680> Joshua <03091>: and the people <05971> hasted <04116> and passed <05674> over <05674>.
  • 11 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> all <03605> the people <05971> were clean <08552> passed <05674> over <05674>, that the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> passed <05674> over <05674>, and the priests <03548>, in the presence <06440> of the people <05971>.
  • 12 And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, passed <05674> over <05674> armed <02571> before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, as Moses <04872> spake <01696> unto them:
  • 13 About forty <0705> thousand <0505> prepared <02502> for war <06635> passed <05674> over <05674> before <06440> the LORD <03068> unto battle <04421>, to the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>.
  • 14 On that day <03117> the LORD <03068> magnified <01431> Joshua <03091> in the sight <05869> of all <03605> Israel <03478>; and they feared <03372> him, as they feared <03372> Moses <04872>, all <03605> the days <03117> of his life <02416>.
  • 15 And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,
  • 16 Command <06680> the priests <03548> that bear <05375> the ark <0727> of the testimony <05715>, that they come <05927> up out of Jordan <03383>.
  • 17 Joshua <03091> therefore commanded <06680> the priests <03548>, saying <0559>, Come <05927> ye up out of Jordan <03383>.
  • 18 And it came <01961> to pass, when the priests <03548> that bare <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> were come <05927> up out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, [and] the soles <03709> of the priests <03548>' feet <07272> were lifted <05423> up unto the dry <02724> land, that the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> returned <07725> unto their place <04725>, and flowed <03212> over <05921> all <03605> his banks <01415>, as [they did] before.
  • 19 And the people <05971> came <05927> up out of Jordan <03383> on the tenth <06218> [day] of the first <07223> month <02320>, and encamped <02583> in Gilgal <01537>, in the east <04217> border <07097> of Jericho <03405>.
  • 20. And those <0428> twelve stones <068>, which <0834> they took <03947> out of Jordan <03383>, did Joshua <03091> pitch <06965> in Gilgal <01537>.
  • 21 And he spake <0559> unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559>, When <0834> your children <01121> shall ask <07592> their fathers <01> in time <04279> to come <04279>, saying <0559>, What <04100> [mean] these <0428> stones <068>?
  • 22 Then ye shall let your children <01121> know <03045>, saying <0559>, Israel <03478> came <05674> over <05674> this <02088> Jordan <03383> on dry <03004> land.
  • 23 For the LORD <03068> your God <0430> dried <03001> up the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> from before <06440> you, until <05704> ye were passed <05674> over <05674>, as the LORD <03068> your God <0430> did <06213> to the Red <05488> sea <03220>, which <0834> he dried <03001> up from before <06440> us, until <05704> we were gone <05674> over <05674>:
  • 24 That all <03605> the people <05971> of the earth <0776> might know <03045> the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>, that it [is] mighty <02389>: that ye might fear <03372> the LORD <03068> your God <0430> for ever.
  • Joshua 5
  • 1. And it came <01961> to pass, when all <03605> the kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, which <0834> [were] on the side <05676> of Jordan <03383> westward <03220>, and all <03605> the kings <04428> of the Canaanites <03669>, which <0834> [were] by the sea <03220>, heard <08085> that the LORD <03068> had dried <03001> up the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> from before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, until <05704> we were passed <05674> over <05674>, that their heart <03824> melted <04549>, neither <03808> was there spirit <07307> in them any more <05750>, because <06440> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 2 At that time <06256> the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Make <06213> thee sharp <06697> knives <02719>, and circumcise <04135> again <07725> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> the second <08145> time.
  • 3 And Joshua <03091> made <06213> him sharp <06697> knives <02719>, and circumcised <04135> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> at <0413> the hill <01389> of the foreskins <06190>.
  • 4 And this <02088> [is] the cause <01697> why Joshua <03091> did circumcise <04135>: All <03605> the people <05971> that came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>, [that were] males <02145>, [even] all <03605> the men <0582> of war <04421>, died <04191> in the wilderness <04057> by the way <01870>, after they came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>.
  • 5 Now <03588> all <03605> the people <05971> that came <03318> out were circumcised <04135>: but all <03605> the people <05971> [that were] born <03209> in the wilderness <04057> by the way <01870> as they came <03318> forth <03318> out of Egypt <04714>, [them] they had not circumcised <04135>.
  • 6 For the children <01121> of Israel <03478> walked <01980> forty <0705> years <08141> in the wilderness <04057>, till <05704> all <03605> the people <01471> [that were] men <0582> of war <04421>, which came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>, were consumed <08552>, because <0834> they obeyed <08085> not the voice <06963> of the LORD <03068>: unto whom the LORD <03068> sware <07650> that he would not shew <07200> them the land <0776>, which <0834> the LORD <03068> sware <07650> unto their fathers <01> that he would give <05414> us, a land <0776> that floweth <02100> with milk <02461> and honey <01706>.
  • 7 And their children <01121>, [whom] he raised <06965> up in their stead <08478>, them Joshua <03091> circumcised <04135>: for they were uncircumcised <06189>, because <03588> they had not circumcised <04135> them by the way <01870>.
  • 8 And it came <01961> to pass, when <0834> they had done <08552> circumcising <04135> all <03605> the people <01471>, that they abode <03427> in their places <08478> in the camp <04264>, till <05704> they were whole <02421>.
  • 9 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, This day <03117> have I rolled <01556> away the reproach <02781> of Egypt <04714> from off <05921> you. Wherefore the name <08034> of the place <04725> is called <07121> Gilgal <01537> unto this <02088> day <03117>.
  • 10. And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> encamped <02583> in Gilgal <01537>, and kept <06213> the passover <06453> on the fourteenth day <03117> of the month <02320> at even <06153> in the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>.
  • 11 And they did eat <0398> of the old <05669> corn <05669> of the land <0776> on the morrow <04283> after the passover <06453>, unleavened <04682> cakes <04682>, and parched [corn] in the selfsame day <03117>.
  • 12 And the manna <04478> ceased <07673> on the morrow <04283> after they had eaten <0398> of the old <05669> corn <05669> of the land <0776>; neither <03808> had <01961> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> manna <04478> any more <05750>; but they did eat <0398> of the fruit <08393> of the land <0776> of Canaan <03667> that year <08141>.
  • 13. And it came <01961> to pass, when Joshua <03091> was by Jericho <03405>, that he lifted <05375> up his eyes <05869> and looked <07200>, and, behold <02009>, there stood <05975> a man <0376> over <05048> against <05048> him with his sword <02719> drawn <08025> in his hand <03027>: and Joshua <03091> went <03212> unto him, and said <0559> unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries <06862>?
  • 14 And he said <0559>, Nay <03808>; but [as] captain <08269> of the host <06635> of the LORD <0113> am I now <06258> come <0935>. And Joshua <03091> fell <05307> on <0413> his face <06440> to the earth <0776>, and did worship <07812>, and said <0559> unto him, What <04100> saith <01696> my lord <03068> unto his servant <05650>?
  • 15 And the captain <08269> of the LORD'S <03068> host <06635> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Loose <05394> thy shoe <05275> from off <05921> thy foot <07272>; for the place <04725> whereon thou standest <05975> [is] holy <06944>. And Joshua <03091> did <06213> so <03651>.
  • Joshua 6
  • 1. Now Jericho <03405> was straitly shut <05462> up because <06440> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: none <0369> went <03318> out, and none <0369> came <0935> in.
  • 2 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, See <07200>, I have given <05414> into thine hand <03027> Jericho <03405>, and the king <04428> thereof, [and] the mighty <01368> men of valour <02428>.
  • 3 And ye shall compass <05437> the city <05892>, all <03605> [ye] men <0582> of war <04421>, [and] go <05362> round <05362> about the city <05892> once <0259>. Thus <03541> shalt thou do <06213> six <08337> days <03117>.
  • 4 And seven <07651> priests <03548> shall bear <05375> before <06440> the ark <0727> seven <07651> trumpets <07782> of rams <03104>' horns <03104>: and the seventh <07637> day <03117> ye shall compass <05437> the city <05892> seven <07651> times <06471>, and the priests <03548> shall blow <08628> with the trumpets <07782>.
  • 5 And it shall come <01961> to pass, that when they make a long <04900> [blast] with the ram's <03104> horn <07161>, [and] when ye hear <08085> the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>, all <03605> the people <05971> shall shout <07321> with a great <01419> shout <08643>; and the wall <02346> of the city <05892> shall fall <05307> down flat <08478>, and the people <05971> shall ascend <05927> up every man <0376> straight before <05048> him.
  • 6. And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126> called <07121> the priests <03548>, and said <0559> unto them, Take <05375> up the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285>, and let seven <07651> priests <03548> bear <05375> seven <07651> trumpets <07782> of rams <03104>' horns <03104> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 7 And he said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Pass <05674> on, and compass <05437> the city <05892>, and let him that is armed <02502> pass <05674> on <0413> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 8 And it came <01961> to pass, when Joshua <03091> had spoken <0559> unto the people <05971>, that the seven <07651> priests <03548> bearing <05375> the seven <07651> trumpets <07782> of rams <03104>' horns passed <05674> on <0413> before <06440> the LORD <03068>, and blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>: and the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> followed them.
  • 9 And the armed <02502> men went <01980> before <06440> the priests <03548> that blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>, and the rereward <0622> came <01980> after <0310> the ark <0727>, [the priests <03548>] going <01980> on, and blowing <08628> with the trumpets <07782>.
  • 10 And Joshua <03091> had commanded <06680> the people <05971>, saying <0559>, Ye shall not shout <07321>, nor <03808> make any noise <08085> with your voice <06963>, neither <03808> shall [any] word <01697> proceed <03318> out of your mouth <06310>, until <05704> the day <03117> I bid <0559> you shout <07321>; then shall ye shout <07321>.
  • 11 So the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> compassed <05437> the city <05892>, going <05362> about <05362> [it] once <0259>: and they came <0935> into the camp <04264>, and lodged <03885> in the camp <04264>.
  • 12 And Joshua <03091> rose <07925> early <07925> in the morning <01242>, and the priests <03548> took <05375> up the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 13 And seven <07651> priests bearing <05375> seven <07651> trumpets <07782> of rams <03104>' horns <03104> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> went <01980> on <0413> continually <01980>, and blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>: and the armed <02502> men went <01980> before <06440> them; but the rereward <0622> came <01980> after <0310> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068>, [the priests <03548>] going <01980> on <0413>, and blowing <08628> with the trumpets <07782>.
  • 14 And the second <08145> day <03117> they compassed <05437> the city <05892> once <0259>, and returned <07725> into the camp <04264>: so <03541> they did <06213> six <08337> days <03117>.
  • 15 And it came <01961> to pass on the seventh <07637> day <03117>, that they rose <07925> early <07925> about the dawning <05927> of the day <07837>, and compassed <05437> the city <05892> after the same <02088> manner <04941> seven <07651> times <06471>: only <07535> on that day <03117> they compassed <05437> the city <05892> seven <07651> times <06471>.
  • 16 And it came <01961> to pass at the seventh <07637> time <06471>, when the priests <03548> blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>, Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Shout <07321>; for the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> you the city <05892>.
  • 17. And the city <05892> shall be accursed <02764>, [even] it, and all <03605> that [are] therein, to the LORD <03068>: only <07535> Rahab <07343> the harlot <02181> shall live <02421>, she and all <03605> that [are] with her in the house <01004>, because <03588> she hid <02244> the messengers <04397> that we sent <07971>.
  • 18 And ye, in any wise keep <08104> [yourselves] from the accursed <02764> thing, lest <06435> ye make [yourselves] accursed <02764>, when ye take <03947> of the accursed <02764> thing, and make <07760> the camp <04264> of Israel <03478> a curse <02764>, and trouble <05916> it.
  • 19 But all <03605> the silver <03701>, and gold <02091>, and vessels <03627> of brass <05178> and iron <01270>, [are] consecrated <06944> unto the LORD <03068>: they shall come <0935> into the treasury <0214> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 20 So the people <05971> shouted <07321> when [the priests <03548>] blew <08628> with the trumpets <07782>: and it came <01961> to pass, when the people <05971> heard <08085> the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>, and the people <05971> shouted <07321> with a great <01419> shout <08643>, that the wall <02346> fell <05307> down flat <08478>, so that the people <05971> went <05927> up into the city <05892>, every man <0376> straight before <05048> him, and they took <03920> the city <05892>.
  • 21 And they utterly destroyed <02763> all <03605> that [was] in the city <05892>, both man <0376> and woman <0802>, young <05288> and old <05288>, and ox <07794>, and sheep <07716>, and ass <02543>, with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>.
  • 22 But Joshua <03091> had said <0559> unto the two <08147> men <0582> that had spied <07270> out the country <0776>, Go <0935> into the harlot's <02181> house <01004>, and bring <03318> out thence <08033> the woman <0802>, and all <03605> that she hath, as ye sware <07650> unto her.
  • 23 And the young <05288> men that were spies <07270> went <0935> in, and brought <03318> out Rahab <07343>, and her father <01>, and her mother <0517>, and her brethren <0251>, and all <03605> that she had; and they brought <03318> out all <03605> her kindred <04940>, and left <03241> them without <02351> the camp <04264> of Israel <03478>.
  • 24 And they burnt <08313> the city <05892> with fire <0784>, and all <03605> that [was] therein: only <07535> the silver <03701>, and the gold <02091>, and the vessels <03627> of brass <05178> and of iron <01270>, they put <05414> into the treasury <0214> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 25 And Joshua <03091> saved <02421> Rahab <07343> the harlot <02181> alive <02421>, and her father's <01> household <01004>, and all <03605> that she had; and she dwelleth <03427> in Israel <03478> [even] unto this <02088> day <03117>; because <03588> she hid <02244> the messengers <04397>, which <0834> Joshua <03091> sent <07971> to spy <07270> out Jericho <03405>.
  • 26 And Joshua <03091> adjured <07650> [them] at that time <06256>, saying <0559>, Cursed <0779> [be] the man <0376> before <06440> the LORD <03068>, that riseth <06965> up and buildeth <01129> this <02063> city <05892> Jericho <03405>: he shall lay the foundation <03245> thereof in his firstborn <01060>, and in his youngest <06810> [son] shall he set <05324> up the gates <01817> of it.
  • 27 So the LORD <03068> was with Joshua <03091>; and his fame <08089> was [noised] throughout all <03605> the country <0776>.
  • Joshua 7
  • 1. But the children <01121> of Israel <03478> committed <04600> a trespass <04604> in the accursed <02764> thing: for Achan <05912>, the son <01121> of Carmi <03756>, the son <01121> of Zabdi <02067>, the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, of the tribe <04294> of Judah <03063>, took <03947> of the accursed <02764> thing: and the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was kindled <02734> against the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 2 And Joshua <03091> sent <07971> men <0582> from Jericho <03405> to Ai <05857>, which <0834> [is] beside <05973> Bethaven <01007>, on the east <06924> side of Bethel <01008>, and spake <0559> unto them, saying <0559>, Go <05927> up and view <07270> the country <0776>. And the men <0582> went <05927> up and viewed <07370> Ai <05857>.
  • 3 And they returned <07725> to Joshua <03091>, and said <0559> unto him, Let not all <03605> the people <05971> go <05927> up; but let about two or <0176> three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376> go <05927> up and smite <06221> Ai <05857>; [and] make not all <03605> the people <05971> to labour <03021> thither <08033>; for they [are but] few <04592>.
  • 4 So there went <05927> up thither <08033> of the people <05971> about three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376>: and they fled <05127> before <06440> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
  • 5 And the men <0582> of Ai <05857> smote <05221> of them about thirty <07970> and six <08337> men <0376>: for they chased <07291> them [from] before <06440> the gate <08179> [even] unto Shebarim <07671>, and smote <05221> them in the going <04174> down <04174>: wherefore the hearts <03824> of the people <05971> melted <04549>, and became <01961> as water <04325>.
  • 6. And Joshua <03091> rent <07167> his clothes <08071>, and fell <05307> to the earth <0776> upon his face <06440> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> until <05704> the eventide <06153>, he and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and put <05927> dust <06083> upon their heads <07218>.
  • 7 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Alas <0160>, O Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, wherefore <04100> hast thou at all brought <05674> this <02088> people <05971> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, to deliver <05414> us into the hand <03027> of the Amorites <0567>, to destroy <06> us? would <03863> to God we had been content <02974>, and dwelt <03427> on the other <05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383>!
  • 8 O Lord <0136>, what <04100> shall I say <0559>, when <06310> Israel <03478> turneth <02015> their backs <06203> before <06440> their enemies <0341>!
  • 9 For the Canaanites <03669> and all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> shall hear <08085> [of it], and shall environ <05437> us round <05921>, and cut <03772> off our name <08034> from the earth <0776>: and what <04100> wilt thou do <06213> unto thy great <01419> name <08034>?
  • 10. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Get <06965> thee up; wherefore <04100> liest <05307> thou thus <02088> upon thy face <06440>?
  • 11 Israel <03478> hath sinned <02398>, and they have also <01571> transgressed <05674> my covenant <01285> which <0834> I commanded <06680> them: for they have even <01571> taken <03947> of the accursed <02764> thing, and have also <01571> stolen <01589>, and dissembled <03584> also <01571>, and they have put <07760> [it] even <01571> among their own stuff <03627>.
  • 12 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> could <03201> not stand <06965> before <06440> their enemies <0341>, [but] turned <06437> [their] backs <06203> before <06440> their enemies <0341>, because <03588> they were accursed <02764>: neither <03808> will I be with you any more <03254>, except ye destroy <08045> the accursed <02764> from among <07130> you.
  • 13 Up, sanctify <06942> the people <05971>, and say <0559>, Sanctify <06942> yourselves against to morrow <04279>: for thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, [There is] an accursed <02764> thing in the midst <07130> of thee, O Israel <03478>: thou canst <03201> not stand <06965> before <06440> thine enemies <0341>, until <05704> ye take <05493> away the accursed <02764> thing from among <07130> you.
  • 14 In the morning <01242> therefore ye shall be brought <07126> according to your tribes <07626>: and it shall be, [that] the tribe <07626> which <0834> the LORD <03068> taketh <03920> shall come <07126> according to the families <04940> [thereof]; and the family <04940> which <0834> the LORD <03068> shall take <03920> shall come <07126> by households <01004>; and the household <01004> which <0834> the LORD <03068> shall take <03920> shall come <07126> man <01397> by man <01397>.
  • 15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken <03920> with the accursed <02764> thing shall be burnt <08313> with fire <0784>, he and all <03605> that he hath: because <03588> he hath transgressed <05674> the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, and because <03588> he hath wrought <06213> folly <05039> in Israel <03478>.
  • 16. So Joshua <03091> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the morning <01242>, and brought <07126> Israel <03478> by their tribes <07626>; and the tribe <07626> of Judah <03063> was taken <03920>:
  • 17 And he brought <07126> the family <04940> of Judah <03063>; and he took <03920> the family <04940> of the Zarhites <02227>: and he brought <07126> the family <04940> of the Zarhites <02227> man <01397> by man <01397>; and Zabdi <02067> was taken <03920>:
  • 18 And he brought <07126> his household <01004> man <01397> by man <01397>; and Achan <05912>, the son <01121> of Carmi <03756>, the son <01121> of Zabdi <02067>, the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, of the tribe <04294> of Judah <03063>, was taken <03920>.
  • 19 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto Achan <05912>, My son <01121>, give <07760>, I pray <04994> thee, glory <03519> to the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and make <05414> confession <08426> unto him; and tell <05046> me now <04994> what <04100> thou hast done <06213>; hide <03582> [it] not from me.
  • 20 And Achan <05912> answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, and said <0559>, Indeed <0546> I have sinned <02398> against the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and thus <02063> and thus <02063> have I done <06213>:
  • 21 When I saw <07200> among the spoils <07998> a goodly <02896> Babylonish <08152> garment <0155>, and two <08147> hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>, and a wedge <06956> of gold <02091> of fifty <02572> shekels <08255> weight <04948>, then I coveted <02530> them, and took <03947> them; and, behold <02009>, they [are] hid <02934> in the earth <0776> in the midst <08432> of my tent <0168>, and the silver <03701> under <08478> it.
  • 22 So Joshua <03091> sent <07971> messengers <04397>, and they ran <07323> unto the tent <0168>; and, behold <02009>, [it was] hid <02934> in his tent <0168>, and the silver <03701> under <08478> it.
  • 23 And they took <03947> them out of the midst <08432> of the tent <0168>, and brought <0935> them unto Joshua <03091>, and unto all <03605> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and laid <03332> them out before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
  • 24 And Joshua <03091>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, took <03947> Achan <05912> the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, and the silver <03701>, and the garment <0155>, and the wedge <06956> of gold <02091>, and his sons <01121>, and his daughters <01121>, and his oxen <07794>, and his asses <02543>, and his sheep <06629>, and his tent <0168>, and all <03605> that he had: and they brought <05927> them unto the valley <06010> of Achor <05911>.
  • 25 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Why <04100> hast thou troubled <05916> us? the LORD <03068> shall trouble <05916> thee this <02088> day <03117>. And all <03605> Israel <03478> stoned <05619> him with stones <068>, and burned <08313> them with fire <0784>, after they had stoned <07275> them with stones <068>.
  • 26 And they raised <06965> over <05921> him a great <01419> heap <01530> of stones <068> unto this <02088> day <03117>. So the LORD <03068> turned <07725> from the fierceness <02740> of his anger <0639>. Wherefore the name <08034> of that place <04725> was called <07121>, The valley <06010> of Achor <05911>, unto this <02088> day <03117>.
  • Joshua 8
  • 1. And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Fear <03372> not, neither <0408> be thou dismayed <02865>: take <03947> all <03605> the people <05971> of war <04421> with thee, and arise <06965>, go <05927> up to Ai <05857>: see <07200>, I have given <05414> into thy hand <03027> the king <04428> of Ai <05857>, and his people <05971>, and his city <05892>, and his land <0776>:
  • 2 And thou shalt do <06213> to Ai <05857> and her king <04428> as thou didst <06213> unto Jericho <03405> and her king <04428>: only <07535> the spoil <07998> thereof, and the cattle <0929> thereof, shall ye take for a prey <0962> unto yourselves: lay <07760> thee an ambush <0693> for the city <05892> behind <0310> it.
  • 3. So Joshua <03091> arose <06965>, and all <03605> the people <05971> of war <04421>, to go <05927> up against Ai <05857>: and Joshua <03091> chose <0977> out thirty <07970> thousand <0505> mighty <01368> men <0376> of valour <02428>, and sent <07971> them away by night <03915>.
  • 4 And he commanded <06680> them, saying <0559>, Behold <07200>, ye shall lie <0693> in wait <0693> against the city <05892>, [even] behind <0310> the city <05892>: go <07368> not very <03966> far <07368> from the city <05892>, but be ye all <03605> ready <03559>:
  • 5 And I, and all <03605> the people <05971> that [are] with me, will approach <07126> unto the city <05892>: and it shall come <01961> to pass, when <03588> they come <03318> out against <07125> us, as at the first <07223>, that we will flee <05127> before <06440> them,
  • 6 (For they will come <03318> out after <0310> us) till <05704> we have drawn <05423> them from the city <05892>; for they will say <0559>, They flee <05127> before <06440> us, as at the first <07223>: therefore we will flee <05127> before <06440> them.
  • 7 Then ye shall rise <06965> up from the ambush <0693>, and seize <03423> upon the city <05892>: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430> will deliver <05414> it into your hand <03027>.
  • 8 And it shall be, when ye have taken <08610> the city <05892>, [that] ye shall set <03341> the city <05892> on fire <0784>: according to the commandment <01697> of the LORD <03068> shall ye do <06213>. See <07200>, I have commanded <06680> you.
  • 9 Joshua <03091> therefore sent <07971> them forth: and they went <03212> to lie in ambush <0693>, and abode <03427> between <0996> Bethel <01008> and Ai <05857>, on the west <03220> side of Ai <05857>: but Joshua <03091> lodged <03885> that night <03915> among <08432> the people <05971>.
  • 10 And Joshua <03091> rose <07925> up early <07925> in the morning <01242>, and numbered <06485> the people <05971>, and went <05927> up, he and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, before <06440> the people <05971> to Ai <05857>.
  • 11 And all <03605> the people <05971>, [even the people] of war <04421> that [were] with him, went <05927> up, and drew nigh <05066>, and came <0935> before <06440> the city <05892>, and pitched <02583> on the north <06828> side of Ai <05857>: now [there was] a valley <01516> between <0996> them and Ai <05857>.
  • 12 And he took <03947> about five <02568> thousand <0505> men <0376>, and set <07760> them to lie in ambush <0693> between <0996> Bethel <01008> and Ai <05857>, on the west <03220> side of the city <05892>.
  • 13 And when they had set <07760> the people <05971>, [even] all <03605> the host <04264> that [was] on the north <06828> of the city <05892>, and their liers in wait <06119> on the west <03220> of the city <05892>, Joshua <03091> went <03212> that night <03915> into the midst <08432> of the valley <06010>.
  • 14 And it came <01961> to pass, when the king <04428> of Ai <05857> saw <07200> [it], that they hasted <04116> and rose <07925> up early <07925>, and the men <0582> of the city <05892> went <03318> out against <07125> Israel <03478> to battle <04421>, he and all <03605> his people <05971>, at a time appointed <04150>, before <06440> the plain <06160>; but he wist <03045> not that [there were] liers in ambush <0693> against him behind <0310> the city <05892>.
  • 15 And Joshua <03091> and all <03605> Israel <03478> made as if they were beaten <05060> before <06440> them, and fled <05127> by the way <01870> of the wilderness <04057>.
  • 16 And all <03605> the people <05971> that [were] in Ai <05857> were called <02199> together to pursue <07291> after <0310> them: and they pursued <07291> after <0310> Joshua <03091>, and were drawn <05423> away from the city <05892>.
  • 17 And there was not a man <0376> left <07604> in Ai <05857> or Bethel <01008>, that went <03318> not out after <0310> Israel <03478>: and they left <05800> the city <05892> open <06605>, and pursued <07291> after Israel <03478>.
  • 18 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Stretch <05186> out the spear <03591> that [is] in thy hand <03027> toward <0413> Ai <05857>; for I will give <05414> it into thine hand <03027>. And Joshua <03091> stretched <05186> out the spear <03591> that [he had] in his hand <03027> toward <0413> the city <05892>.
  • 19 And the ambush <0693> arose <06965> quickly <04120> out of their place <04725>, and they ran <07323> as soon as he had stretched <05186> out his hand <03027>: and they entered <0935> into the city <05892>, and took <03920> it, and hasted <04116> and set the city <05892> on fire <0784>.
  • 20 And when the men <0582> of Ai <05857> looked <06437> behind <0310> them, they saw <07200>, and, behold <02009>, the smoke <06227> of the city <05892> ascended <05927> up to heaven <08064>, and they had no <03808> power <03027> to flee <05127> this <02007> way <02008> or that way <02008>: and the people <05971> that fled <05127> to the wilderness <04057> turned <02015> back <02015> upon the pursuers <07291>.
  • 21 And when Joshua <03091> and all <03605> Israel <03478> saw <07200> that the ambush <0693> had taken <03920> the city <05892>, and that the smoke <06227> of the city <05892> ascended <05927>, then they turned <07725> again <07725>, and slew <05221> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
  • 22 And the other <0428> issued <03318> out of the city <05892> against <07125> them; so they were in the midst <08432> of Israel <03478>, some <0428> on this <02088> side, and some <0428> on that side: and they smote <05221> them, so <05704> that they let none <01115> of them remain <08300> or escape <06412>.
  • 23. And the king <04428> of Ai <05857> they took <08610> alive <02416>, and brought <07126> him to Joshua <03091>.
  • 24 And it came <01961> to pass, when Israel <03478> had made an end <03615> of slaying <02026> all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of Ai <05857> in the field <07704>, in the wilderness <04057> wherein <0834> they chased <07291> them, and when they were all <03605> fallen <05307> on the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, until <05704> they were consumed <08552>, that all <03605> the Israelites <03478> returned <07725> unto Ai <05857>, and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>.
  • 25 And [so] it was, [that] all <03605> that fell <05307> that day <03117>, both of men <0376> and women <0802>, [were] twelve thousand <0505>, [even] all <03605> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
  • 26 For Joshua <03091> drew <07725> not his hand <03027> back <07725>, wherewith <0834> he stretched <05186> out the spear <03591>, until <05704> he had utterly destroyed <02763> all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of Ai <05857>.
  • 27 Only <07535> the cattle <0929> and the spoil <07998> of that city <05892> Israel <03478> took for a prey <0962> unto themselves <01992>, according unto the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> which <0834> he commanded <06680> Joshua <03091>.
  • 28 And Joshua <03091> burnt <08313> Ai <05857>, and made <07760> it an heap <08510> for ever <05769>, [even] a desolation <08077> unto this <02088> day <03117>.
  • 29 And the king <04428> of Ai <05857> he hanged <08518> on <05921> a tree <06086> until <05704> eventide: and as soon as the sun <08121> was down <0935>, Joshua <03091> commanded <06680> that they should take <03381> his carcase <05038> down <03381> from the tree <06086>, and cast <07993> it at <0413> the entering <06607> of the gate <08179> of the city <05892>, and raise <06965> thereon <05921> a great <01419> heap <01530> of stones <068>, [that remaineth] unto this <02088> day <03117>.
  • 30. Then <0227> Joshua <03091> built <01129> an altar <04196> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> in mount <02022> Ebal <05858>,
  • 31 As Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, as it is written <03789> in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, an altar <04196> of whole <08003> stones <068>, over <05921> which <0834> no <03808> man hath lift <05130> up [any] iron <01270>: and they offered <05927> thereon <05921> burnt <05930> offerings unto the LORD <03068>, and sacrificed <02076> peace <08002> offerings.
  • 32 And he wrote <03789> there <08033> upon the stones <068> a copy <04932> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, which <0834> he wrote <03789> in the presence <06440> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 33 And all <03605> Israel <03478>, and their elders <02205>, and officers <07860>, and their judges <08199>, stood <05975> on this <02088> side the ark <0727> and on that side before <05048> the priests <03548> the Levites <03881>, which bare <05375> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>, as well the stranger <01616>, as he that was born <0249> among them; half <02677> of them over <0413> against <04136> mount <02022> Gerizim <01630>, and half <02677> of them over against <04136> mount <02022> Ebal <05858>; as Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> had commanded <06680> before <07223>, that they should bless <01288> the people <05971> of Israel <03478>.
  • 34 And afterward he read <07121> all <03605> the words <01697> of the law <08451>, the blessings <01293> and cursings <07045>, according to all <03605> that is written <03789> in the book <05612> of the law <08451>.
  • 35 There was not a word <01697> of all <03605> that Moses <04872> commanded <06680>, which <0834> Joshua <03091> read <07121> not before <05048> all <03605> the congregation <06951> of Israel <03478>, with the women <0802>, and the little <02945> ones, and the strangers <01616> that were conversant <01980> among <07130> them.
  • Joshua 9
  • 1. And it came <01961> to pass, when all <03605> the kings <04428> which <0834> [were] on this side <05676> Jordan <03383>, in the hills <02022>, and in the valleys <08219>, and in all <03605> the coasts <02348> of the great <01419> sea <03220> over against <04136> Lebanon <03844>, the Hittite <02850>, and the Amorite <0567>, the Canaanite <03669>, the Perizzite <06522>, the Hivite <02340>, and the Jebusite <02983>, heard <08085> [thereof];
  • 2 That they gathered <06908> themselves together <03162>, to fight <03898> with Joshua <03091> and with Israel <03478>, with one <0259> accord <06310>.
  • 3. And when the inhabitants <03427> of Gibeon <01391> heard <08085> what Joshua <03091> had done <06213> unto Jericho <03405> and to Ai <05857>,
  • 4 They did <06213> work <06213> wilily <06195>, and went <03212> and made as if they had been ambassadors <06735>, and took <03947> old <01087> sacks <08242> upon their asses <02543>, and wine <03196> bottles <04997>, old <01087>, and rent <01234>, and bound <06887> up;
  • 5 And old <01087> shoes <05275> and clouted <02921> upon their feet <07272>, and old <01087> garments <08008> upon them; and all <03605> the bread <03899> of their provision <06718> was dry <03004> [and] mouldy <05350>.
  • 6 And they went <03212> to Joshua <03091> unto the camp <04264> at Gilgal <01537>, and said <0559> unto him, and to the men <0376> of Israel <03478>, We be come <0935> from a far <07350> country <0776>: now <06258> therefore make <03772> ye a league <01285> with us.
  • 7 And the men <0376> of Israel <03478> said <0559> unto the Hivites <02340>, Peradventure <0194> ye dwell <03427> among <07130> us; and how <0349> shall we make <03772> a league <01285> with you?
  • 8 And they said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, We [are] thy servants <05650>. And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto them, Who <04310> [are] ye? and from whence <0370> come <0935> ye?
  • 9 And they said <0559> unto him, From a very <03966> far <07350> country <0776> thy servants <05650> are come <0935> because of the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> thy God <0430>: for we have heard <08085> the fame <08089> of him, and all <03605> that he did <06213> in Egypt <04714>,
  • 10 And all <03605> that he did <06213> to the two <08147> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, that [were] beyond <05676> Jordan <03383>, to Sihon <05511> king <04428> of Heshbon <02809>, and to Og <05747> king <04428> of Bashan <01316>, which <0834> [was] at Ashtaroth <06252>.
  • 11 Wherefore our elders <02205> and all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of our country <0776> spake <0559> to us, saying <0559>, Take <03947> victuals <06720> with you for the journey <01870>, and go <03212> to meet <07125> them, and say <0559> unto them, We [are] your servants <05650>: therefore now <06258> make <03772> ye a league <01285> with us.
  • 12 This <02088> our bread <03899> we took hot <02525> [for] our provision <06679> out of our houses <01004> on the day <03117> we came <03318> forth <03318> to go <03212> unto you; but now <06258>, behold <02009>, it is dry <03001>, and it is mouldy <05350>:
  • 13 And these <0428> bottles <04997> of wine <03196>, which <0834> we filled <04390>, [were] new <02319>; and, behold <02009>, they be rent <01234>: and these <0428> our garments <08008> and our shoes <05275> are become <01086> old <01086> by reason of the very <03966> long <07230> journey <01870>.
  • 14 And the men <0582> took <03947> of their victuals <06718>, and asked <07592> not [counsel] at the mouth <06310> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 15. And Joshua <03091> made <06213> peace <07965> with them, and made <06213> a league <01285> with them, to let them live <02421>: and the princes <05387> of the congregation <05712> sware <07650> unto them.
  • 16 And it came <01961> to pass at the end <07097> of three <07969> days <03117> after <0310> they had made <03772> a league <01285> with them, that they heard <08085> that they [were] their neighbours <07138>, and [that] they dwelt <03427> among <07130> them.
  • 17 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> journeyed <05265>, and came <0935> unto their cities <05892> on the third <07992> day <03117>. Now their cities <05892> [were] Gibeon <01391>, and Chephirah <03716>, and Beeroth <0881>, and Kirjathjearim <07157>.
  • 18 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> smote <05221> them not, because <03588> the princes <05387> of the congregation <05712> had sworn <07650> unto them by the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>. And all <03605> the congregation <05712> murmured <03885> against <05921> the princes <05387>.
  • 19 But all <03605> the princes <05387> said <0559> unto all <03605> the congregation <05712>, We have sworn <07650> unto them by the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>: now <06258> therefore we may <03201> not touch <05060> them.
  • 20 This <02063> we will do <06213> to them; we will even let them live <02421>, lest <03808> wrath <07110> be upon us, because <05921> of the oath <07621> which <0834> we sware <07650> unto them.
  • 21 And the princes <05387> said <0559> unto them, Let them live <02421>; but let them be hewers <02404> of wood <06086> and drawers <07579> of water <04325> unto all <03605> the congregation <05712>; as the princes <05387> had promised <01696> them.
  • 22. And Joshua <03091> called <07121> for them, and he spake <01696> unto them, saying <0559>, Wherefore <04100> have ye beguiled <07411> us, saying <0559>, We [are] very <03966> far <07350> from you; when ye dwell <03427> among <07130> us?
  • 23 Now <06258> therefore ye [are] cursed <0779>, and there shall none <03808> of you be freed <03772> from being bondmen <05650>, and hewers <02404> of wood <06086> and drawers <07579> of water <04325> for the house <01004> of my God <0430>.
  • 24 And they answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, and said <0559>, Because <03588> it was certainly told <05046> thy servants <05650>, how that the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> commanded <06680> his servant <05650> Moses <04872> to give <05414> you all <03605> the land <0776>, and to destroy <08045> all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776> from before <06440> you, therefore we were sore <03966> afraid <03372> of our lives <05315> because <06440> of you, and have done <06213> this <02088> thing <01697>.
  • 25 And now <06258>, behold <02005>, we [are] in thine hand <03027>: as it seemeth <05869> good <02896> and right <03477> unto thee to do <06213> unto us, do <06213>.
  • 26 And so <03651> did <06213> he unto them, and delivered <05337> them out of the hand <03027> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, that they slew <02026> them not.
  • 27 And Joshua <03091> made <05414> them that day <03117> hewers <02404> of wood <06086> and drawers <07579> of water <04325> for the congregation <05712>, and for the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>, even unto this <02088> day <03117>, in the place <04725> which <0834> he should choose <0977>.
  • Joshua 10
  • 1. Now it came <01961> to pass, when <03588> Adonizedek <0139> king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389> had heard <08085> how <03588> Joshua <03091> had taken <03920> Ai <05857>, and had <01961> utterly destroyed <02763> it; as he had <01961> done <06213> to Jericho <03405> and her king <04428>, so <03651> he had <01961> done <06213> to Ai <05857> and her king <04428>; and how <03588> the inhabitants <03427> of Gibeon <01391> had <01961> made peace <07999> with Israel <03478>, and were among <07130> them;
  • 2 That they feared <03372> greatly <03966>, because <03588> Gibeon <01391> [was] a great <01419> city <05892>, as one <0259> of the royal <04467> cities <05892>, and because <03588> it [was] greater <01419> than <04480> Ai <05857>, and all <03605> the men <0582> thereof [were] mighty <01368>.
  • 3 Wherefore Adonizedek <0139> king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389> sent <07971> unto Hoham <01944> king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, and unto Piram <06502> king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, and unto Japhia <03309> king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, and unto Debir <01688> king <04428> of Eglon <05700>, saying <0559>,
  • 4 Come <05927> up unto me, and help <05826> me, that we may smite <06221> Gibeon <01391>: for it hath made peace <07999> with Joshua <03091> and with the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 5 Therefore the five <02568> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, the king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>, the king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, the king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, the king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, the king <04428> of Eglon <05700>, gathered <0622> themselves together, and went <05927> up, they and all <03605> their hosts <04264>, and encamped <02583> before <05921> Gibeon <01391>, and made war <03898> against <05921> it.
  • 6 And the men <0582> of Gibeon <01391> sent <07971> unto Joshua <03091> to the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>, saying <0559>, Slack <07503> not thy hand <03027> from thy servants <05650>; come <05927> up to us quickly <04120>, and save <03467> us, and help <05826> us: for all the kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567> that dwell <03427> in the mountains <02022> are gathered <06908> together against <0413> us.
  • 7. So Joshua <03091> ascended <05927> from Gilgal <01537>, he, and all <03605> the people <05971> of war <04421> with him, and all <03605> the mighty <01368> men of valour <02428>.
  • 8 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Fear <03372> them not: for I have delivered <05414> them into thine hand <03027>; there shall not a man <0376> of them stand <05975> before <06440> thee.
  • 9 Joshua <03091> therefore came <0935> unto them suddenly <06597>, [and] went <05927> up from Gilgal <01537> all <03605> night <03915>.
  • 10 And the LORD <03068> discomfited <01949> them before <06440> Israel <03478>, and slew <05221> them with a great <01419> slaughter <04347> at Gibeon <01391>, and chased <07291> them along the way <01870> that goeth <04609> up to Bethhoron <01032>, and smote <05221> them to Azekah <05825>, and unto Makkedah <04719>.
  • 11 And it came <01961> to pass, as they fled <05127> from before <06440> Israel <03478>, [and] were in the going <04174> down <04174> to Bethhoron <01032>, that the LORD <03068> cast <07993> down great <01419> stones <068> from heaven <08064> upon them unto Azekah <05825>, and they died <04191>: [they were] more <07227> which <0834> died <04191> with hailstones than [they] whom <0834> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> slew <02026> with the sword <02719>.
  • 12 Then <0227> spake <01696> Joshua <03091> to the LORD <03068> in the day <03117> when the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> up the Amorites <0567> before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and he said <0559> in the sight <05869> of Israel <03478>, Sun <08121>, stand <01826> thou still <01826> upon Gibeon <01391>; and thou, Moon <03394>, in the valley <06010> of Ajalon <0357>.

[Is] not this <01931> written <03789> in the book <05612> of Jasher <03477>? So the sun <08121> stood <05975> still in the midst <02677> of heaven <08064>, and hasted <0213> not to go <0935> down about a whole <08549> day <03117>.
  • 14 And there was no <03808> day <03117> like that before <06440> it or after <0310> it, that the LORD <03068> hearkened <08085> unto the voice <06963> of a man <0376>: for the LORD <03068> fought <03898> for Israel <03478>.
  • 15. And Joshua <03091> returned <07725>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>.
  • 16 But these <0428> five <02568> kings <04428> fled <05127>, and hid <02244> themselves in a cave <04631> at Makkedah <04719>.
  • 17 And it was told <05046> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>, The five <02568> kings <04428> are found <04672> hid <02244> in a cave <04631> at Makkedah <04719>.
  • 18 And Joshua <03091> said <0559>, Roll <01556> great <01419> stones <068> upon the mouth <06310> of the cave <04631>, and set <06485> men <0582> by it for to keep <08104> them:
  • 19 And stay <05975> ye not, [but] pursue <07291> after <0310> your enemies <0341>, and smite the hindmost <02179> of them; suffer <05414> them not to enter <0935> into <0413> their cities <05892>: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath delivered <05414> them into your hand <03027>.
  • 20 And it came <01961> to pass, when Joshua <03091> and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> had made an end <03615> of slaying <05221> them with a very <03966> great <01419> slaughter <04347>, till <05704> they were consumed <08552>, that the rest <08300> [which] remained <08277> of them entered <0935> into <0413> fenced <04013> cities <05892>.
  • 21 And all <03605> the people <05971> returned <07725> to the camp <04264> to Joshua <03091> at Makkedah <04719> in peace <07965>: none <03808> moved <02782> his tongue <03956> against any of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 22 Then said <0559> Joshua <03091>, Open <06605> the mouth <06310> of the cave <04631>, and bring <03318> out those <0428> five <02568> kings <04428> unto me out of the cave <04631>.
  • 23 And they did <06213> so <03651>, and brought <03318> forth <03318> those <0428> five <02568> kings <04428> unto him out of the cave <04631>, the king <04428> of Jerusalem <03389>, the king <04428> of Hebron <02275>, the king <04428> of Jarmuth <03412>, the king <04428> of Lachish <03923>, [and] the king <04428> of Eglon <05700>.
  • 24 And it came <01961> to pass, when they brought <03318> out those <0428> kings <04428> unto Joshua <03091>, that Joshua <03091> called <07121> for all <03605> the men <0376> of Israel <03478>, and said <0559> unto the captains <07101> of the men of war <04421> which went <01980> with him, Come <07126> near <07126>, put <07760> your feet <07272> upon the necks <06677> of these <0428> kings <04428>. And they came <07126> near <07126>, and put <07760> their feet <07272> upon the necks <06677> of them.
  • 25 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto them, Fear <03372> not, nor <0408> be dismayed <02865>, be strong <02388> and of good courage <0553>: for thus <03602> shall the LORD <03068> do <06213> to all <03605> your enemies <0341> against whom ye fight <03898>.
  • 26 And afterward Joshua <03091> smote <05221> them, and slew <04191> them, and hanged <08518> them on <05921> five <02568> trees <06086>: and they were hanging <08518> upon the trees <06086> until <05704> the evening <06153>.
  • 27 And it came <01961> to pass at the time <06256> of the going <0935> down of the sun <08121>, [that] Joshua <03091> commanded <06680>, and they took <03381> them down <03381> off <05921> the trees <06086>, and cast <07993> them into <0413> the cave <04631> wherein they had been hid <02244>, and laid <07760> great <01419> stones <068> in the cave's <04631> mouth <06310>, [which remain] until <05704> this <02088> very <06106> day <03117>.
  • 28. And that day <03117> Joshua <03091> took <03920> Makkedah <04719>, and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and the king <04428> thereof he utterly destroyed <02763>, them, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein; he let none <03808> remain <08300>: and he did <06213> to the king <04428> of Makkedah <04719> as he did <06213> unto the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>.
  • 29 Then Joshua <03091> passed <05674> from Makkedah <04719>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto Libnah <03841>, and fought <03898> against <05973> Libnah <03841>:
  • 30 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> it also <01571>, and the king <04428> thereof, into the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>; and he smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein; he let none <03808> remain <08300> in it; but did <06213> unto the king <04428> thereof as he did <06213> unto the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>.
  • 31 And Joshua <03091> passed <05674> from Libnah <03841>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto Lachish <03923>, and encamped <02583> against <05921> it, and fought <03898> against <05921> it:
  • 32 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> Lachish <03923> into the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>, which took <03920> it on the second <08145> day <03117>, and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein, according to all <03605> that he had done <06213> to Libnah <03841>.
  • 33 Then <0227> Horam <02036> king <04428> of Gezer <01507> came <05927> up to help <05826> Lachish <03923>; and Joshua <03091> smote <05221> him and his people <05971>, until <05704> he had left <07604> him none <01115> remaining <08300>.
  • 34 And from Lachish <03923> Joshua <03091> passed <05674> unto Eglon <05700>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him; and they encamped <02583> against <05921> it, and fought <03898> against <05921> it:
  • 35 And they took <03920> it on that day <03117>, and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein he utterly destroyed <02763> that day <03117>, according to all <03605> that he had done <06213> to Lachish <03923>.
  • 36 And Joshua <03091> went <05927> up from Eglon <05700>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto Hebron <02275>; and they fought <03898> against <05921> it:
  • 37 And they took <03920> it, and smote <05221> it with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and the king <04428> thereof, and all <03605> the cities <05892> thereof, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein; he left <07604> none <03808> remaining <08300>, according to all <03605> that he had done <06213> to Eglon <05700>; but destroyed <02763> it utterly, and all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein.
  • 38 And Joshua <03091> returned <07725>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, to Debir <01688>; and fought <03898> against <05921> it:
  • 39 And he took <03920> it, and the king <04428> thereof, and all <03605> the cities <05892> thereof; and they smote <05221> them with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, and utterly destroyed <02763> all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein; he left <07604> none <03808> remaining <08300>: as he had done <06213> to Hebron <02275>, so <03651> he did <06213> to Debir <01688>, and to the king <04428> thereof; as he had done <06213> also to Libnah <03841>, and to her king <04428>.
  • 40 So Joshua <03091> smote <05221> all <03605> the country <0776> of the hills <02022>, and of the south <05045>, and of the vale <08219>, and of the springs <0794>, and all <03605> their kings <04428>: he left <07604> none <03808> remaining <08300>, but utterly destroyed <02763> all <03605> that breathed <05397>, as the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> commanded <06680>.
  • 41 And Joshua <03091> smote <05221> them from Kadeshbarnea <06947> even unto Gaza <05804>, and all <03605> the country <0776> of Goshen <01657>, even unto Gibeon <01391>.
  • 42 And all <03605> these <0428> kings <04428> and their land <0776> did Joshua <03091> take <03920> at one <0259> time <06471>, because <03588> the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478> fought <03898> for Israel <03478>.
  • 43 And Joshua <03091> returned <07725>, and all <03605> Israel <03478> with him, unto the camp <04264> to Gilgal <01537>.
  • Joshua 11
  • 1. And it came <01961> to pass, when Jabin <02985> king <04428> of Hazor <02674> had heard <08085> [those things], that he sent <07971> to Jobab <03103> king <04428> of Madon <04068>, and to the king <04428> of Shimron <08110>, and to the king <04428> of Achshaph <0407>,
  • 2 And to the kings <04428> that [were] on the north <06828> of the mountains <02022>, and of the plains <06160> south <05045> of Chinneroth <03672>, and in the valley <08219>, and in the borders <05299> of Dor <01756> on the west <03220>,
  • 3 [And to] the Canaanite <03669> on the east <04217> and on the west <03220>, and [to] the Amorite <0567>, and the Hittite <02850>, and the Perizzite <06522>, and the Jebusite <02983> in the mountains <02022>, and [to] the Hivite <02340> under <08478> Hermon <02768> in the land <0776> of Mizpeh <04709>.
  • 4 And they went <03318> out, they and all <03605> their hosts <04264> with them, much <07227> people <05971>, even as the sand <02344> that [is] upon the sea <03220> shore <08193> in multitude <07230>, with horses <05483> and chariots <07393> very <03966> many <07227>.
  • 5 And when all <03605> these <0428> kings <04428> were met <03259> together <03162>, they came <0935> and pitched <02583> together <03162> at <0413> the waters <04325> of Merom <04792>, to fight <03898> against <05973> Israel <03478>.
  • 6 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Be not afraid <03372> because <06440> of them: for to morrow <04279> about this <02063> time <06256> will I deliver <05414> them up all <03605> slain <02491> before <06440> Israel <03478>: thou shalt hough <06131> their horses <05483>, and burn <08313> their chariots <04818> with fire <0784>.
  • 7 So Joshua <03091> came <0935>, and all <03605> the people <05971> of war <04421> with him, against <05921> them by the waters <04325> of Merom <04792> suddenly <06597>; and they fell <05307> upon them.
  • 8 And the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> them into the hand <03027> of Israel <03478>, who smote <05221> them, and chased <07291> them unto great <07227> Zidon <06721>, and unto Misrephothmaim <04956>, and unto the valley <01237> of Mizpeh <04708> eastward <04217>; and they smote <05221> them, until <05704> they left <07604> them none <01115> remaining <08300>.
  • 9 And Joshua <03091> did <06213> unto them as the LORD <03068> bade <0559> him: he houghed <06131> their horses <05483>, and burnt <08313> their chariots <04818> with fire <0784>.
  • 10. And Joshua <03091> at that time <06256> turned <07725> back <07725>, and took <03920> Hazor <02674>, and smote <05221> the king <04428> thereof with the sword <02719>: for Hazor <02674> beforetime <06440> was the head <07218> of all <03605> those <0428> kingdoms <04467>.
  • 11 And they smote <05221> all <03605> the souls <05315> that [were] therein with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, utterly destroying <02763> [them]: there was not any <03605> left <03498> to breathe <05397>: and he burnt <08313> Hazor <02674> with fire <0784>.
  • 12 And all <03605> the cities <05892> of those <0428> kings <04428>, and all <03605> the kings <04428> of them, did Joshua <03091> take <03920>, and smote <05221> them with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, [and] he utterly destroyed <02763> them, as Moses <04872> the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> commanded <06680>.
  • 13 But [as for] the cities <05892> that stood <05975> still in their strength <08510>, Israel <03478> burned <08313> none <03808> of them, save <02108> Hazor <02674> only <0905>; [that] did Joshua <03091> burn <08313>.
  • 14 And all <03605> the spoil <07998> of these <0428> cities <05892>, and the cattle <0929>, the children <01121> of Israel <03478> took for a prey <0962> unto themselves <01992>; but every <03605> man <0120> they smote <05221> with the edge <06310> of the sword <02719>, until <05704> they had destroyed <08045> them, neither <03808> left <07604> they any <03605> to breathe <05397>.
  • 15. As the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872> his servant <05650>, so <03651> did <06213> Moses <04872> command <06680> Joshua <03091>, and so <03651> did <06213> Joshua <03091>; he left <05493> nothing undone <05493> of all <03605> that the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872>.
  • 16 So Joshua <03091> took <03947> all <03605> that land <0776>, the hills <02022>, and all <03605> the south <05045> country, and all <03605> the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>, and the valley <08219>, and the plain <06160>, and the mountain <02022> of Israel <03478>, and the valley <08219> of the same;
  • 17 [Even] from the mount <02022> Halak <02510>, that goeth <05927> up to Seir <08165>, even unto Baalgad <01171> in the valley <01237> of Lebanon <03844> under <08478> mount <02022> Hermon <02768>: and all <03605> their kings <04428> he took <03920>, and smote <05221> them, and slew <04191> them.
  • 18 Joshua <03091> made <06213> war <04421> a long <07227> time <03117> with all <03605> those <0428> kings <04428>.
  • 19 There was not a city <05892> that made peace <07999> with the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, save <01115> the Hivites <02340> the inhabitants <03427> of Gibeon <01391>: all <03605> [other] they took <03947> in battle <04421>.
  • 20 For it was of the LORD <03068> to harden <02388> their hearts <03820>, that they should come <07122> against <07125> Israel <03478> in battle <04421>, that he might destroy <02763> them utterly, [and] that they might have <01961> no <01115> favour <08467>, but that he might destroy <08045> them, as the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> Moses <04872>.
  • 21 And at that time <06256> came <0935> Joshua <03091>, and cut <03772> off the Anakims <06062> from the mountains <02022>, from Hebron <02275>, from Debir <01688>, from Anab <06024>, and from all <03605> the mountains <02022> of Judah <03063>, and from all <03605> the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>: Joshua <03091> destroyed <02763> them utterly with their cities <05892>.
  • 22 There was none <03808> of the Anakims <06062> left <03498> in the land <0776> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: only <07535> in Gaza <05804>, in Gath <01661>, and in Ashdod <0795>, there remained <07604>.
  • 23 So Joshua <03091> took <03947> the whole land <0776>, according to all <03605> that the LORD <03068> said <01696> unto Moses <04872>; and Joshua <03091> gave <05414> it for an inheritance <05159> unto Israel <03478> according to their divisions <04256> by their tribes <07626>.

  • 9 And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> returned <07725>, and departed <03212> from the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of Shiloh <07887>, which <0834> [is] in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, to go <03212> unto the country <0776> of Gilead <01568>, to the land <0776> of their possession <0272>, whereof <0834> they were possessed <0270>, according <05921> to the word <06310> of the LORD <03068> by the hand <03027> of Moses <04872>.
  • 10.

  • 11 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard <08085> say <0559>, Behold <02009>, the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> and the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519> have built <01129> an altar <04196> over against <04136> the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, in the borders <01552> of Jordan <03383>, at <0413> the passage <01552> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
  • 12 And when the children <01121> of Israel <03478> heard <08085> [of it], the whole <03605> congregation <05712> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> gathered <06950> themselves together at Shiloh <07887>, to go <05927> up to war <06635> against <05921> them.
  • 13 And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> sent <07971> unto the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, into <0413> the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>, Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>,
  • 14 And with him ten <06235> princes <05387>, of each <0259> chief <01> house <01004> a prince <05387> throughout all <03605> the tribes <04294> of Israel <03478>; and each one <0376> [was] an head <07218> of the house <01004> of their fathers <01> among the thousands <0505> of Israel <03478>.
  • 15 And they came <0935> unto the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the half <02677> tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, unto the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>, and they spake <01696> with them, saying <0559>,
  • 16 Thus <03541> saith <0559> the whole <03605> congregation <05712> of the LORD <03068>, What <04100> trespass <04604> [is] this <02088> that ye have committed <04600> against the God <0430> of Israel <03478>, to turn <07725> away this day <03117> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, in that ye have builded <01129> you an altar <04196>, that ye might rebel <04775> this day <03117> against the LORD <03068>?
  • 17 [Is] the iniquity <05771> of Peor <06465> too little <04592> for us, from which <0834> we are not cleansed <02891> until <05704> this <02088> day <03117>, although there was a plague <05063> in the congregation <05712> of the LORD <03068>,
  • 18 But that ye must turn <07725> away this day <03117> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel <04775> to day <03117> against the LORD <03068>, that to morrow <04279> he will be wroth <07107> with the whole <03605> congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>.
  • 19 Notwithstanding <0389>, if <0518> the land <0776> of your possession <0272> [be] unclean <02931>, [then] pass <05674> ye over <05674> unto the land <0776> of the possession <0272> of the LORD <03068>, wherein the LORD'S <03068> tabernacle <04908> dwelleth <07931>, and take <0270> possession <0270> among <08432> us: but rebel <04775> not against the LORD <03068>, nor <0408> rebel <04775> against us, in building <01129> you an altar <04196> beside <01107> the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>.
  • 20 Did not Achan <05912> the son <01121> of Zerah <02226> commit <04603> a trespass <04604> in the accursed <02764> thing, and wrath <07110> fell <01961> on <05921> all <03605> the congregation <05712> of Israel <03478>? and that man <0376> perished <01478> not alone <0259> in his iniquity <05771>.

  • 22 The LORD <03068> God <0410> of gods <0430>, the LORD <03068> God <0410> of gods <0430>, he knoweth <03045>, and Israel <03478> he shall know <03045>; if <0518> [it be] in rebellion <04779>, or if <0518> in transgression <04604> against the LORD <03068>, (save us not this <02088> day <03117>,)
  • 23 That we have built <01129> us an altar <04196> to turn <07725> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, or if <0518> to offer <05927> thereon <05921> burnt <05930> offering or meat offering <04503>, or if <0518> to offer <06213> peace <08002> offerings <02077> thereon <05921>, let the LORD <03068> himself require <01245> [it];
  • 24 And if <0518> we have not [rather] done <06213> it for fear <01674> of [this <02063>] thing <01697>, saying <0559>, In time <04279> to come <04279> your children <01121> might speak <0559> unto our children <01121>, saying <0559>, What <04100> have ye to do with the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>?
  • 25 For the LORD <03068> hath made <05414> Jordan <03383> a border <01366> between <0996> us and you, ye children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and children <01121> of Gad <01410>; ye have no <0369> part <02506> in the LORD <03068>: so shall your children <01121> make our children <01121> cease <07673> from fearing <03372> the LORD <03068>.
  • 26 Therefore we said <0559>, Let us now <04994> prepare <06213> to build <01129> us an altar <04196>, not for burnt <05930> offering, nor <03808> for sacrifice <02077>:
  • 27 But [that] it [may be] a witness <05707> between <0996> us, and you, and our generations <01755> after <0310> us, that we might do <05647> the service <05656> of the LORD <03068> before <06440> him with our burnt <05930> offerings, and with our sacrifices <02077>, and with our peace <08002> offerings; that your children <01121> may not say <0559> to our children <01121> in time <04279> to come <04279>, Ye have no <0369> part <02506> in the LORD <03068>.
  • 28 Therefore said <0559> we, that it shall be, when <03588> they should [so] say <0559> to us or to our generations <01755> in time <04279> to come <04279>, that we may say <0559> [again], Behold <07200> the pattern <08403> of the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068>, which <0834> our fathers <01> made <06213>, not for burnt <05930> offerings, nor <03808> for sacrifices <02077>; but it [is] a witness <05707> between <0996> us and you.
  • 29 God forbid <02486> that we should rebel <04775> against the LORD <03068>, and turn <07725> this day <03117> from following <0310> the LORD <03068>, to build <01129> an altar <04196> for burnt <05930> offerings, for meat offerings <04503>, or for sacrifices <02077>, beside <0905> the altar <04196> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430> that [is] before <06440> his tabernacle <04908>.
  • 30.

  • 31 And Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548> said <0559> unto the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and to the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and to the children <01121> of Manasseh <04519>, This day <03117> we perceive <03045> that the LORD <03068> [is] among <08432> us, because <0834> ye have not committed <04600> this <02088> trespass <04604> against the LORD <03068>: now <0227> ye have delivered <05337> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> out of the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 32 And Phinehas <06372> the son <01121> of Eleazar <0499> the priest <03548>, and the princes <05387>, returned <07725> from the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and from the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, out of the land <0776> of Gilead <01568>, unto the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>, to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and brought <07725> them word <01697> again <07725>.
  • 33 And the thing <01697> pleased the children <01121> of Israel <03478>; and the children <01121> of Israel <03478> blessed <01288> God <0430>, and did not intend <0559> to go <05927> up against <05921> them in battle <06635>, to destroy <07843> the land <0776> wherein <0834> the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and Gad <01410> dwelt <03427>.
  • 34 And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205> and the children <01121> of Gad <01410> called <07121> the altar <04196> [Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness <05707> between <0996> us that the LORD <03068> [is] God <0430>.

  • 7 And when they cried <06817> unto the LORD <03068>, he put <07760> darkness <03990> between <0996> you and the Egyptians <04713>, and brought <0935> the sea <03220> upon them, and covered <03680> them; and your eyes <05869> have seen <07200> what I have done <06213> in Egypt <04714>: and ye dwelt <03427> in the wilderness <04057> a long <07227> season <03117>.
  • 8 And I brought <0935> you into the land <0776> of the Amorites <0567>, which dwelt <03427> on the other <05676> side <05676> Jordan <03383>; and they fought <03898> with you: and I gave <05414> them into your hand <03027>, that ye might possess <03423> their land <0776>; and I destroyed <08045> them from before <06440> you.
  • 9 Then Balak <01111> the son <01121> of Zippor <06834>, king <04428> of Moab <04124>, arose <06965> and warred <03898> against Israel <03478>, and sent <07971> and called <07121> Balaam <01109> the son <01121> of Beor <01160> to curse <07043> you:
  • 10 But I would <014> not hearken <08085> unto Balaam <01109>; therefore he blessed <01288> you still: so I delivered <05337> you out of his hand <03027>.
  • 11 And ye went <05674> over <05674> Jordan <03383>, and came <0935> unto Jericho <03405>: and the men <01167> of Jericho <03405> fought <03898> against you, the Amorites <0567>, and the Perizzites <06522>, and the Canaanites <03669>, and the Hittites <02850>, and the Girgashites <01622>, the Hivites <02340>, and the Jebusites <02983>; and I delivered <05414> them into your hand <03027>.
  • 12 And I sent <07971> the hornet <06880> before <06440> you, which drave <01644> them out from before <06440> you, [even] the two <08147> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>; [but] not with thy sword <02719>, nor <03808> with thy bow <07198>.
  • 13 And I have given <05414> you a land <0776> for which <0834> ye did not labour <03021>, and cities <05892> which <0834> ye built <01129> not, and ye dwell <03427> in them; of the vineyards <03754> and oliveyards <02132> which <0834> ye planted <05193> not do ye eat <0398>.
  • 14 Now <06258> therefore fear <03372> the LORD <03068>, and serve <05647> him in sincerity <08549> and in truth <0571>: and put <05493> away <05493> the gods <0430> which <0834> your fathers <01> served <05647> on the other <05676> side <05676> of the flood <05104>, and in Egypt <04714>; and serve <05647> ye the LORD <03068>.
  • 15. And if <0518> it seem evil <07489> unto you to serve <05647> the LORD <03068>, choose <0977> you this day <03117> whom <04310> ye will serve <05647>; whether <0518> the gods <0430> which <0834> your fathers <01> served <05647> that [were] on the other <05676> side <05676> of the flood <05104>, or the gods <0430> of the Amorites <0567>, in whose <0834> land <0776> ye dwell <03427>: but as for me and my house <01004>, we will serve <05647> the LORD <03068>.
  • 16 And the people <05971> answered <06030> and said <0559>, God forbid <02486> that we should forsake <05800> the LORD <03068>, to serve <05647> other <0312> gods <0430>;
  • 17 For the LORD <03068> our God <0430>, he [it is] that brought <05927> us up and our fathers <01> out of the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, from the house <01004> of bondage <05650>, and which <0834> did <06213> those <0428> great <01419> signs <0226> in our sight <05869>, and preserved <08104> us in all <03605> the way <01870> wherein <0834> we went <01980>, and among all <03605> the people <05971> through <07130> whom <0834> we passed <05674>:
  • 18 And the LORD <03068> drave <01644> out from before <06440> us all <03605> the people <05971>, even the Amorites <0567> which dwelt <03427> in the land <0776>: [therefore] will we also <01571> serve <05647> the LORD <03068>; for he [is] our God <0430>.
  • 19 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Ye cannot serve <05647> the LORD <03068>: for he [is] an holy <06918> God <0430>; he [is] a jealous <07072> God <0410>; he will not forgive <05375> your transgressions <06588> nor your sins <02403>.
  • 20 If <03588> ye forsake <05800> the LORD <03068>, and serve <05647> strange <05236> gods <0430>, then he will turn <07725> and do you hurt <07489>, and consume <03615> you, after <0310> that he hath done you good <03190>.
  • 21 And the people <05971> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, Nay <03808>; but we will serve <05647> the LORD <03068>.
  • 22 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto the people <05971>, Ye [are] witnesses <05707> against yourselves that ye have chosen <0977> you the LORD <03068>, to serve <05647> him. And they said <0559>, [We are] witnesses <05707>.
  • 23 Now <06258> therefore put <05493> away <05493>, [said he], the strange <05236> gods <0430> which <0834> [are] among <07130> you, and incline <05186> your heart <03824> unto the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>.
  • 24 And the people <05971> said <0559> unto Joshua <03091>, The LORD <03068> our God <0430> will we serve <05647>, and his voice <06963> will we obey <08085>.
  • 25 So Joshua <03091> made <03772> a covenant <01285> with the people <05971> that day <03117>, and set <07760> them a statute <02706> and an ordinance <04941> in Shechem <07927>.
  • 26 And Joshua <03091> wrote <03789> these <0428> words <01697> in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of God <0430>, and took <03947> a great <01419> stone <068>, and set <06965> it up there <08033> under <08478> an oak <0427>, that [was] by the sanctuary <04720> of the LORD <03068>.
  • 27 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> unto all <03605> the people <05971>, Behold <02009>, this <02063> stone <068> shall be a witness <05713> unto us; for it hath heard <08085> all <03605> the words <0561> of the LORD <03068> which <0834> he spake <01696> unto us: it shall be therefore a witness <05713> unto you, lest <06435> ye deny <03584> your God <0430>.
  • 28 So Joshua <03091> let the people <05971> depart <07971>, every man <0376> unto his inheritance <05159>.
  • 29. And it came <01961> to pass after <0310> these <0428> things <01697>, that Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>, the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068>, died <04191>, [being] an hundred <03967> and ten <06235> years <08141> old <01121>.
  • 30 And they buried <06912> him in the border <01366> of his inheritance <05159> in Timnathserah <08556>, which <0834> [is] in mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>, on the north <06828> side of the hill <02022> of Gaash <01608>.
  • 31 And Israel <03478> served <05647> the LORD <03068> all <03605> the days <03117> of Joshua <03091>, and all <03605> the days <03117> of the elders <02205> that overlived Joshua <03091>, and which <0834> had known <03045> all <03605> the works <04639> of the LORD <03068>, that he had done <06213> for Israel <03478>.
  • 32 And the bones <06106> of Joseph <03130>, which <0834> the children <01121> of Israel <03478> brought <05927> up out of Egypt <04714>, buried <06912> they in Shechem <07927>, in a parcel <02513> of ground <07704> which <0834> Jacob <03290> bought <07069> of the sons <01121> of Hamor <02544> the father <01> of Shechem <07927> for an hundred <03967> pieces of silver <07192>: and it became <01961> the inheritance <05159> of the children <01121> of Joseph <03130>.
  • 33 And Eleazar <0499> the son <01121> of Aaron <0175> died <04191>; and they buried <06912> him in a hill <01389> [that pertained to] Phinehas <06372> his son <01121>, which <0834> was given <05414> him in mount <02022> Ephraim <0669>.
