JO-1:1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass,

that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

JO-1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan,

thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, [even] to

the children of Israel.

JO-1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I

given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

JO-1:4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the

river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward

the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

JO-1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of

thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not fail thee,

nor forsake thee.

JO-1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou

divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give

them.

JO-1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to

do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not

from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest prosper

whithersoever thou goest.

JO-1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to

all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and

then thou shalt have good success.

JO-1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not

afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee

whithersoever thou goest.

JO-1:10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

JO-1:11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you

victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to

possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

JO-1:12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of

Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

JO-1:13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you,

saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

JO-1:14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the

land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your

brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;

JO-1:15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he hath given] you,

and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them:

then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which

Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

JO-1:16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will

do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

JO-1:17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we

hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

JO-1:18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will

not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to

death: only be strong and of a good courage.

JO-2:1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly,

saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an

harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

JO-2:2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in

hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.

JO-2:3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men

that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to

search out all the country.

JO-2:4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There

came men unto me, but I wist not whence they [were]:

JO-2:5 And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of the gate, when it

was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after

them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

JO-2:6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them

with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

JO-2:7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and

as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

JO-2:8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

JO-2:9 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the

land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of

the land faint because of you.

JO-2:10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for

you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the

Amorites, that [were] on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly

destroyed.

JO-2:11 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt,

neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the

LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

JO-2:12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have

showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my father's house,

and give me a true token:

JO-2:13 And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my

brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from

death.

JO-2:14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this

our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we

will deal kindly and truly with thee.

JO-2:15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house

[was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

JO-2:16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers

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

returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

JO-2:17 And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of this thine oath

which thou hast made us swear.

JO-2:18 Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of

scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt

bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's

household, home unto thee.

JO-2:19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy

house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [will be]

guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood [shall be]

on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.

JO-2:20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine

oath which thou hast made us to swear.

JO-2:21 And she said, According unto your words, so [be] it. And she sent

them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

JO-2:22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three

days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought [them]

throughout all the way, but found [them] not.

JO-2:23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed

over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell

them:

JO-2:24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our

hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint

because of us.

JO-3:1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim,

and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before

they passed over.

JO-3:2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through

the host;

JO-3:3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the

covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye

shall remove from your place, and go after it.

JO-3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand

cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye

must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore.

JO-3:5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the

LORD will do wonders among you.

JO-3:6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the

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

covenant, and went before the people.

JO-3:7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee

in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, [so]

I will be with thee.

JO-3:8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant,

saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand

still in Jordan.

JO-3:9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the

words of the LORD your God.

JO-3:10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God [is] among

you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites,

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

and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

JO-3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth

over before you into Jordan.

JO-3:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of

every tribe a man.

JO-3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the

priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest

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

the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

JO-3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to

pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the

people;

JO-3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of

the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for

Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)

JO-3:16 That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon

an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and those that

came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were

cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

JO-3:17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood

firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over

on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.

JO-4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over

Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

JO-4:2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

JO-4:3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of

Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones,

and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place,

where ye shall lodge this night.

JO-4:4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the

children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

JO-4:5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your

God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon

his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of

Israel:

JO-4:6 That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your children ask

[their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these stones?

JO-4:7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off

before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the

waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto

the children of Israel for ever.

JO-4:8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up

twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua,

according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried

them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down

there.

JO-4:9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place

where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and

they are there unto this day.

JO-4:10 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan,

until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto

the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people

hasted and passed over.

JO-4:11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that

the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the

people.

JO-4:12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the

tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses

spake unto them:

JO-4:13 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD

unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

JO-4:14 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and

they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

JO-4:15 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

JO-4:16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they

come up out of Jordan.

JO-4:17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of

Jordan.

JO-4:18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the

covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, [and] the soles

of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of

Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as [they did]

before.

JO-4:19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of the first

month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.

JO-4:20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua

pitch in Gilgal.

JO-4:21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children

shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these stones?

JO-4:22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this

Jordan on dry land.

JO-4:23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you,

until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he

dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

JO-4:24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD,

that it [is] mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

JO-5:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which [were]

on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which

[were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from

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

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

Israel.

JO-5:2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and

circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

JO-5:3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of

Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

JO-5:4 And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that

came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war, died in the

wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

JO-5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people

[that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt,

[them] they had not circumcised.

JO-5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till

all the people [that were] men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed,

because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that

he would not show them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that

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

JO-5:7 And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua

circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised

them by the way.

JO-5:8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people,

that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

JO-5:9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the

reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called

Gilgal unto this day.

JO-5:10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover

on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

JO-5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the

passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] in the selfsame day.

JO-5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old

corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they

did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

JO-5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up

his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his

sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, [Art]

thou for us, or for our adversaries?

JO-5:14 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD am I now

come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto

him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

JO-5:15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe

from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy. And Joshua

did so.

JO-6:1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel:

none went out, and none came in.

JO-6:2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand

Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valour.

JO-6:3 And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round

about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

JO-6:4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams'

horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the

priests shall blow with the trumpets.

JO-6:5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the

ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall

shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and

the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

JO-6:6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take

up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams'

horns before the ark of the LORD.

JO-6:7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let

him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

JO-6:8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the

seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the

LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD

followed them.

JO-6:9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets,

and the rereward came after the ark, [the priests] going on, and blowing with

the trumpets.

JO-6:10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor

make any noise with your voice, neither shall [any] word proceed out of your

mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

JO-6:11 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about [it] once: and

they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

JO-6:12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark

of the LORD.

JO-6:13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the

ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed

men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, [the

priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

JO-6:14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into

the camp: so they did six days.

JO-6:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about

the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven

times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

JO-6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with

the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you

the city.

JO-6:17 And the city shall be accursed, [even] it, and all that [are]

therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that [are]

with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

JO-6:18 And ye, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the accursed thing, lest

ye make [yourselves] accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make

the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

JO-6:19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, [are]

consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

JO-6:20 So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and

it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the

people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the

people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the

city.

JO-6:21 And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both man and

woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

JO-6:22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country,

Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she

hath, as ye sware unto her.

JO-6:23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and

her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they

brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

JO-6:24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was] therein: only

the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into

the treasury of the house of the LORD.

JO-6:25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household,

and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel [even] unto this day; because

she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

JO-6:26 And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying, Cursed [be] the man

before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay

the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest [son] shall he

set up the gates of it.

JO-6:27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised] throughout all

the country.

JO-7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing:

for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe

of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled

against the children of Israel.

JO-7:2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Bethaven, on

the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the

country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

JO-7:3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people

go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; [and] make

not all the people to labour thither; for they [are but] few.

JO-7:4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and

they fled before the men of Ai.

JO-7:5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they

chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto Shebarim, and smote them in the

going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

JO-7:6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face

before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel,

and put dust upon their heads.

JO-7:7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought

this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to

destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side

Jordan!

JO-7:8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their

enemies!

JO-7:9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of

it], and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what

wilt thou do unto thy great name?

JO-7:10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus

upon thy face?

JO-7:11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which

I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have

also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even among their own

stuff.

JO-7:12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their

enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were

accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed

from among you.

JO-7:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against

tomorrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an accursed thing

in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies,

until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

JO-7:14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your

tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come

according to the families [thereof]; and the family which the LORD shall take

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

come man by man.

JO-7:15 And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing

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

transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in

Israel.

JO-7:16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their

tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

JO-7:17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the

Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was

taken:

JO-7:18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi,

the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

JO-7:19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the

LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou

hast done; hide [it] not from me.

JO-7:20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the

LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

JO-7:21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two

hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I

coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hid in the earth in the

midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

JO-7:22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold,

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

JO-7:23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them

unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the

LORD.

JO-7:24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and

the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his

daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all

that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.

JO-7:25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble

thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with

fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

JO-7:26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the

LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place

was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

JO-8:1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed:

take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have

given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his

land:

JO-8:2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and

her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a

prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.

JO-8:3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and

Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by

night.

JO-8:4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against

the city, [even] behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all

ready:

JO-8:5 And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will approach unto the

city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the

first, that we will flee before them,

JO-8:6 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the

city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we

will flee before them.

JO-8:7 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for

the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

JO-8:8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, [that] ye shall set the

city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I

have commanded you.

JO-8:9 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and

abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that

night among the people.

JO-8:10 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and

went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

JO-8:11 And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were] with him,

went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north

side of Ai: now [there was] a valley between them and Ai.

JO-8:12 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush

between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

JO-8:13 And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on

the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua

went that night into the midst of the valley.

JO-8:14 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hasted

and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle,

he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not

that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city.

JO-8:15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them,

and fled by the way of the wilderness.

JO-8:16 And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to pursue

after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

JO-8:17 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after

Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

JO-8:18 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that [is] in thy

hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out

the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city.

JO-8:19 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon

as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it,

and hasted and set the city on fire.

JO-8:20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the

smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this

way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon

the pursuers.

JO-8:21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the

city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and

slew the men of Ai.

JO-8:22 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in

the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote

them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

JO-8:23 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

JO-8:24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the

inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them,

and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were

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

of the sword.

JO-8:25 And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men and

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

JO-8:26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the

spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

JO-8:27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey

unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded

Joshua.

JO-8:28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, [even] a

desolation unto this day.

JO-8:29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as

the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from

the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise

thereon a great heap of stones, [that remaineth] unto this day.

JO-8:30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,

JO-8:31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as

it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over

which no man hath lift up [any] iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings

unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

JO-8:32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which

he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

JO-8:33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges,

stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites,

which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he

that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of

them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded

before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

JO-8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and

cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

JO-8:35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read

not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little

ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.

JO-9:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings which [were] on this side

Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great

sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the

Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [thereof];

JO-9:2 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with

Israel, with one accord.

JO-9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto

Jericho and to Ai,

JO-9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been

ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and

rent, and bound up;

JO-9:5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them;

and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.

JO-9:6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him,

and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye

a league with us.

JO-9:7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell

among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

JO-9:8 And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And Joshua said unto

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

JO-9:9 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come

because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him,

and all that he did in Egypt,

JO-9:10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that [were]

beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which [was]

at Ashtaroth.

JO-9:11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to

us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and

say unto them, We [are] your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

JO-9:12 This our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of our houses on

the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is

mouldy:

JO-9:13 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were] new; and, behold,

they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of

the very long journey.

JO-9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not [counsel] at the

mouth of the LORD.

JO-9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let

them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.

JO-9:16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a

league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbours, and

[that] they dwelt among them.

JO-9:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on

the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and

Kirjathjearim.

JO-9:18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the

congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the

congregation murmured against the princes.

JO-9:19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn

unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

JO-9:20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be

upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

JO-9:21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers

of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had

promised them.

JO-9:22 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore

have ye beguiled us, saying, We [are] very far from you; when ye dwell among

us?

JO-9:23 Now therefore ye [are] cursed, and there shall none of you be freed

from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of

my God.

JO-9:24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy

servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you

all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you,

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

thing.

JO-9:25 And now, behold, we [are] in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right

unto thee to do unto us, do.

JO-9:26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the

children of Israel, that they slew them not.

JO-9:27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for

the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the

place which he should choose.

JO-10:1 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had heard how

Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho

and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of

Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

JO-10:2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, as one

of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all the men

thereof [were] mighty.

JO-10:3 Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of

Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and

unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

JO-10:4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath

made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

JO-10:5 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the

king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon,

gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and

encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

JO-10:6 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying,

Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and

help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are

gathered together against us.

JO-10:7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with

him, and all the mighty men of valour.

JO-10:8 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered

them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

JO-10:9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up from Gilgal

all night.

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

great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to

Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

JO-10:11 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in

the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven

upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which died with

hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

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

the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of

Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of

Ajalon.

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

avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in the book of

Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go

down about a whole day.

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

hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

JO-10:15 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to

Gilgal.

JO-10:16 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.

JO-10:17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a

cave at Makkedah.

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

set men by it for to keep them:

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

hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD

your God hath delivered them into your hand.

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

an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed,

that the rest [which] remained of them entered into fenced cities.

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

peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.

JO-10:22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those

five kings unto me out of the cave.

JO-10:23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of

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

king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.

JO-10:24 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua,

that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of

the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of

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

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

of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom

ye fight.

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

five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.

JO-10:27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, [that]

Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into

the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth,

[which remain] until this very day.

JO-10:28 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the

sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that

[were] therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he

did unto the king of Jericho.

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

Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

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

of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that

[were] therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he

did unto the king of Jericho.

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

Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

JO-10:32 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took

it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the

souls that [were] therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

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

him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.

JO-10:34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him;

and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

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

sword, and all the souls that [were] therein he utterly destroyed that day,

according to all that he had done to Lachish.

JO-10:36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron;

and they fought against it:

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

king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that [were]

therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon;

but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] therein.

JO-10:38 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought

against it:

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

and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the

souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron,

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

and to her king.

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

of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining,

but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

JO-10:41 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the

country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

JO-10:42 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time,

because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

JO-10:43 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to

Gilgal.

JO-11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard [those

things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and

to the king of Achshaph,

JO-11:2 And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains, and of

the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor

on the west,

JO-11:3 [And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and [to] the

Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the

mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

JO-11:4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people,

even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and

chariots very many.

JO-11:5 And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched

together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

JO-11:6 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to

morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou

shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

JO-11:7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by

the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.

JO-11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them,

and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley

of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

JO-11:9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he hocked their

horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

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

king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those

kingdoms.

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

the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not any left to breathe: and

he burnt Hazor with fire.

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

Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly

destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.

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

burned none of them, save Hazor only; [that] did Joshua burn.

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

Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge

of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

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

Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD

commanded Moses.

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

and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of

Israel, and the valley of the same;

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

Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he

took, and smote them, and slew them.

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

JO-11:19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel,

save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all [other] they took in battle.

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

against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they

might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded

Moses.

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

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

Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly

with their cities.

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

Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.

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

unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to

their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

JO-12:1 Now these [are] the kings of the land, which the children of Israel

smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of

the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the

east:

JO-12:2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, [and] ruled from

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

river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border

of the children of Ammon;

JO-12:3 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the

sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth;

and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:

JO-12:4 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, [which was] of the remnant of the

giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

JO-12:5 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto

the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border

of Sihon king of Heshbon.

JO-12:6 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel

smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it [for] a possession unto the

Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

JO-12:7 And these [are] the kings of the country which Joshua and the

children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the

valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which

Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel [for] a possession according to their

divisions;

JO-12:8 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the

springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the

Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

JO-12:9 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which [is] beside Bethel,

one;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gilgal, one;

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

JO-13:1 Now Joshua was old [and] stricken in years; and the LORD said unto

him, Thou art old [and] stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much

land to be possessed.

JO-13:2 This [is] the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the

Philistines, and all Geshuri,

JO-13:3 From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron

northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines;

the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the

Ekronites; also the Avites:

JO-13:4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that [is]

beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:

JO-13:5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising,

from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.

JO-13:6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto

Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the

children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an

inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

JO-13:7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine

tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

JO-13:8 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their

inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses

the servant of the LORD gave them;

JO-13:9 From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city

that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;

JO-13:10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in

Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

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

all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;

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

Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite,

and cast them out.

JO-13:13 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor

the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the

Israelites until this day.

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

of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance, as he said

unto them.

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

[inheritance] according to their families.

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

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

Medeba;

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

Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,

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

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

valley,

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

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

of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes

of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, [which were] dukes of

Sihon, dwelling in the country.

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

Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.

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

[thereof]. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their

families, the cities and the villages thereof.

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

children of Gad according to their families.

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

the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that [is] before Rabbah;

JO-13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim

unto the border of Debir;

JO-13:27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and

Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and [his]

border, [even] unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan

eastward.

JO-13:28 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad after their

families, the cities, and their villages.

JO-13:29 And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and

[this] was [the possession] of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by

their families.

JO-13:30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og

king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in Bashan, threescore

cities:

JO-13:31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of

Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] unto the children of Machir the son of

Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.

JO-13:32 These [are the countries] which Moses did distribute for inheritance

in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.

JO-13:33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any] inheritance: the

LORD God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said unto them.

JO-14:1 And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel inherited

in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun,

and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel,

distributed for inheritance to them.

JO-14:2 By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of

Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.

JO-14:3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe

on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among

them.

JO-14:4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim:

therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell

[in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

JO-14:5 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they

divided the land.

JO-14:6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the

son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the

LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.

JO-14:7 Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me

from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as [it

was] in mine heart.

JO-14:8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the

people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

JO-14:9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet

have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because

thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.

JO-14:10 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these

forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while

[the children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I [am] this

day fourscore and five years old.

JO-14:11 As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses

sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for war,

both to go out, and to come in.

JO-14:12 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that

day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that]

the cities [were] great [and] fenced: if so be the LORD [will be] with me,

then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

JO-14:13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh

Hebron for an inheritance.

JO-14:14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of

Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD

God of Israel.

JO-14:15 And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba; [which Arba was] a

great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.

JO-15:1 [This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by

their families; [even] to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward

[was] the uttermost part of the south coast.

JO-15:2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the

bay that looketh southward:

JO-15:3 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along

to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along

to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

JO-15:4 [From thence] it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of

Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your

south coast.

JO-15:5 And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto the end of

Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea

at the uttermost part of Jordan:

JO-15:6 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of

Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

JO-15:7 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so

northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim,

which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the

waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:

JO-15:8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the

south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to

the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward,

which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

JO-15:9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain

of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the

border was drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjathjearim:

JO-15:10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and

passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which [is] Chesalon, on the north

side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:

JO-15:11 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the

border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out

unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

JO-15:12 And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast [thereof].

This [is] the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their

families.

JO-15:13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the

children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, [even]

the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron.

JO-15:14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman,

and Talmai, the children of Anak.

JO-15:15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of

Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher.

JO-15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him

will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

JO-15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he

gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

JO-15:18 And it came to pass, as she came [unto him], that she moved him to

ask of her father a field: and she lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb said unto

her, What wouldest thou?

JO-15:19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south

land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and

the nether springs.

JO-15:20 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah

according to their families.

JO-15:21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah

toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,

JO-15:22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,

JO-15:23 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,

JO-15:24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,

JO-15:25 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, [and] Hezron, which [is] Hazor,

JO-15:26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,

JO-15:27 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet,

JO-15:28 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,

JO-15:29 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,

JO-15:30 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,

JO-15:31 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,

JO-15:32 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities [are]

twenty and nine, with their villages:

JO-15:33 [And] in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,

JO-15:34 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,

JO-15:35 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,

JO-15:36 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen

cities with their villages:

JO-15:37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,

JO-15:38 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,

JO-15:39 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,

JO-15:40 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,

JO-15:41 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities

with their villages:

JO-15:42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,

JO-15:43 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,

JO-15:44 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their

villages:

JO-15:45 Ekron, with her towns and her villages:

JO-15:46 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that [lay] near Ashdod, with their

villages:

JO-15:47 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her

villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border

[thereof]:

JO-15:48 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,

JO-15:49 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which [is] Debir,

JO-15:50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,

JO-15:51 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages:

JO-15:52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,

JO-15:53 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,

JO-15:54 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, and Zior; nine

cities with their villages:

JO-15:55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,

JO-15:56 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,

JO-15:57 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:

JO-15:58 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,

JO-15:59 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their

villages:

JO-15:60 Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities with

their villages:

JO-15:61 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,

JO-15:62 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their

villages.

JO-15:63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of

Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of

Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.

JO-16:1 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho,

unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from

Jericho throughout mount Bethel.

JO-16:2 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders

of Archi to Ataroth,

JO-16:3 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of

Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are at the sea.

JO-16:4 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their

inheritance.

JO-16:5 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families

was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was

Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

JO-16:6 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north

side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it

on the east to Janohah;

JO-16:7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to

Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

JO-16:8 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and

the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe

of the children of Ephraim by their families.

JO-16:9 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the

inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.

JO-16:10 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the

Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.

JO-17:1 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the

firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the

father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and

Bashan.

JO-17:2 There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by

their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek,

and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the

children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these [were] the male

children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

JO-17:3 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of

Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these [are] the

names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

JO-17:4 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the

son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give

us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment

of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

JO-17:5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead

and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;

JO-17:6 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons:

and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

JO-17:7 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lieth]

before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the

inhabitants of Entappuah.

JO-17:8 [Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of

Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;

JO-17:9 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river:

these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of

Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it

were at the sea:

JO-17:10 Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and

the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in

Issachar on the east.

JO-17:11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns,

and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the

inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her

towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.

JO-17:12 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants

of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

JO-17:13 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong,

that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive them out.

JO-17:14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou

given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great

people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?

JO-17:15 And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people, [then] get

thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in the land of

the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

JO-17:16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and

all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron,

[both they] who [are] of Bethshean and her towns, and [they] who [are] of the

valley of Jezreel.

JO-17:17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to

Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt

not have one lot [only]:

JO-17:18 But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and thou shalt

cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out

the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [be] strong.

JO-18:1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled

together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And

the land was subdued before them.

JO-18:2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which

had not yet received their inheritance.

JO-18:3 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long [are] ye slack

to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

JO-18:4 Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I will send

them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according

to the inheritance of them; and they shall come [again] to me.

JO-18:5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their

coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the

north.

JO-18:6 Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring

[the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the

LORD our God.

JO-18:7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the

LORD [is] their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of

Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which

Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

JO-18:8 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went

to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it,

and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in

Shiloh.

JO-18:9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by

cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host at

Shiloh.

JO-18:10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there

Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their

divisions.

JO-18:11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up

according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the

children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

JO-18:12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border

went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the

mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of

Bethaven.

JO-18:13 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz,

which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near

the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.

JO-18:14 And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner of the

sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward; and the

goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of

the children of Judah: this [was] the west quarter.

JO-18:15 And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the

border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:

JO-18:16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [lieth]

before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the valley of the

giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of

Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,

JO-18:17 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went

forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of Adummim, and

descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,

JO-18:18 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and

went down unto Arabah:

JO-18:19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and

the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south

end of Jordan: this [was] the south coast.

JO-18:20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This [was] the

inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about,

according to their families.

JO-18:21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to

their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz.

JO-18:22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

JO-18:23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,

JO-18:24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their

villages:

JO-18:25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

JO-18:26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

JO-18:27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

JO-18:28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which [is] Jerusalem, Gibeath, [and]

Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the

children of Benjamin according to their families.

JO-19:1 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, [even] for the tribe of the

children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was

within the inheritance of the children of Judah.

JO-19:2 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,

JO-19:3 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,

JO-19:4 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

JO-19:5 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,

JO-19:6 And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:

JO-19:7 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:

JO-19:8 And all the villages that [were] round about these cities to

Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of

the children of Simeon according to their families.

JO-19:9 Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the inheritance of

the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for

them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the

inheritance of them.

JO-19:10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to

their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:

JO-19:11 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to

Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam;

JO-19:12 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border

of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia.

JO-19:13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to

Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;

JO-19:14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the

outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:

JO-19:15 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem:

twelve cities with their villages.

JO-19:16 This [is] the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to

their families, these cities with their villages.

JO-19:17 [And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of

Issachar according to their families.

JO-19:18 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,

JO-19:19 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,

JO-19:20 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,

JO-19:21 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;

JO-19:22 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh;

and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their

villages.

JO-19:23 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar

according to their families, the cities and their villages.

JO-19:24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher

according to their families.

JO-19:25 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

JO-19:26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel

westward, and to Shihorlibnath;

JO-19:27 And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to

Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek,

and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,

JO-19:28 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, [even] unto great

Zidon;

JO-19:29 And [then] the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre;

and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from

the coast to Achzib:

JO-19:30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their

villages.

JO-19:31 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher

according to their families, these cities with their villages.

JO-19:32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, [even] for the

children of Naphtali according to their families.

JO-19:33 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami,

Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:

JO-19:34 And [then] the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out

from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth

to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

JO-19:35 And the fenced cities [are] Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and

Chinnereth,

JO-19:36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

JO-19:37 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,

JO-19:38 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh;

nineteen cities with their villages.

JO-19:39 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali

according to their families, the cities and their villages.

JO-19:40 [And] the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan

according to their families.

JO-19:41 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and

Irshemesh,

JO-19:42 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

JO-19:43 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

JO-19:44 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

JO-19:45 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,

JO-19:46 And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.

JO-19:47 And the coast of the children of Dan went out [too little] for them:

therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it,

and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein,

and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

JO-19:48 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan

according to their families, these cities with their villages.

JO-19:49 When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by

their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of

Nun among them:

JO-19:50 According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he

asked, [even] Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt

therein.

JO-19:51 These [are] the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua

the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of

Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the

door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing

the country.

JO-20:1 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,

JO-20:2 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities

of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:

JO-20:3 That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares [and] unwittingly

may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.

JO-20:4 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at

the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears

of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and

give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

JO-20:5 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not

deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour

unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.

JO-20:6 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the

congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high priest that shall

be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city,

and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.

JO-20:7 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem

in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, in the mountain of

Judah.

JO-20:8 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer

in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in

Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of

Manasseh.

JO-20:9 These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and

for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth [any]

person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger

of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

JO-21:1 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar

the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers

of the tribes of the children of Israel;

JO-21:2 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The

LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the

suburbs thereof for our cattle.

JO-21:3 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their

inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.

JO-21:4 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the

children of Aaron the priest, [which were] of the Levites, had by lot out of

the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of

Benjamin, thirteen cities.

JO-21:5 And the rest of the children of Kohath [had] by lot out of the

families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the

half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

JO-21:6 And the children of Gershon [had] by lot out of the families of the

tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of

Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.

JO-21:7 The children of Merari by their families [had] out of the tribe of

Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve

cities.

JO-21:8 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities

with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

JO-21:9 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of

the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are [here] mentioned

by name,

JO-21:10 Which the children of Aaron, [being] of the families of the

Kohathites, [who were] of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first

lot.

JO-21:11 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city

is] Hebron, in the hill [country] of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round

about it.

JO-21:12 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to

Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

JO-21:13 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her

suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,

JO-21:14 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,

JO-21:15 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,

JO-21:16 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, [and]

Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.

JO-21:17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with

her suburbs,

JO-21:18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.

JO-21:19 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, [were]

thirteen cities with their suburbs.

JO-21:20 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which

remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out

of the tribe of Ephraim.

JO-21:21 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, [to

be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,

JO-21:22 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four

cities.

JO-21:23 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon

with her suburbs,

JO-21:24 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.

JO-21:25 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and

Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.

JO-21:26 All the cities [were] ten with their suburbs for the families of the

children of Kohath that remained.

JO-21:27 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites,

out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan with her

suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her

suburbs; two cities.

JO-21:28 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh

with her suburbs,

JO-21:29 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.

JO-21:30 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with

her suburbs,

JO-21:31 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.

JO-21:32 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her

suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her

suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.

JO-21:33 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families [were]

thirteen cities with their suburbs.

JO-21:34 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the

Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah

with her suburbs,

JO-21:35 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.

JO-21:36 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah

with her suburbs,

JO-21:37 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four

cities.

JO-21:38 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, [to

be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,

JO-21:39 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in

all.

JO-21:40 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families,

which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by] their lot

twelve cities.

JO-21:41 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children

of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.

JO-21:42 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them:

thus [were] all these cities.

JO-21:43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give

unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

JO-21:44 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he

sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies

before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.

JO-21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken

unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

JO-22:1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half

tribe of Manasseh,

JO-22:2 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the

LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

JO-22:3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but

have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

JO-22:4 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he

promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, [and]

unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you

on the other side Jordan.

JO-22:5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses

the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in

all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to

serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

JO-22:6 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their

tents.

JO-22:7 Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given

[possession] in Bashan: but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua among

their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away

also unto their tents, then he blessed them,

JO-22:8 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your

tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass,

and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies

with your brethren.

JO-22:9 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe

of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh,

which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the

land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word

of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

JO-22:10 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that [are] in the

land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half

tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

JO-22:11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben

and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar

over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of

the children of Israel.

JO-22:12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole

congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh,

to go up to war against them.

JO-22:13 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to

the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of

Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

JO-22:14 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout

all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] an head of the house of their

fathers among the thousands of Israel.

JO-22:15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of

Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they

spake with them, saying,

JO-22:16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass [is]

this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day

from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might

rebel this day against the LORD?

JO-22:17 [Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not

cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of

the LORD,

JO-22:18 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it

will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be

wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

JO-22:19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be] unclean, [then]

pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD'S

tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the

LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the

LORD our God.

JO-22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed

thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished

not alone in his iniquity.

JO-22:21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half

tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of

Israel,

JO-22:22 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel

he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the

LORD, (save us not this day,)

JO-22:23 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or

if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace

offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require [it];

JO-22:24 And if we have not [rather] done it for fear of [this] thing,

saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying,

What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

JO-22:25 For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye

children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall

your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

JO-22:26 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for

burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

JO-22:27 But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our

generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with

our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;

that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no

part in the LORD.

JO-22:28 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should [so] say to us

or to our generations in time to come, that we may say [again], Behold the

pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt

offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us and you.

JO-22:29 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day

from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat

offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that [is]

before his tabernacle.

JO-22:30 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation

and heads of the thousands of Israel which [were] with him, heard the words

that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of

Manasseh spake, it pleased them.

JO-22:31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of

Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day

we perceive that the LORD [is] among us, because ye have not committed this

trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of

the hand of the LORD.

JO-22:32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes,

returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the

land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and

brought them word again.

JO-22:33 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of

Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to

destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.

JO-22:34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar

[Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness between us that the LORD [is] God.

JO-23:1 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest

unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old [and]

stricken in age.

JO-23:2 And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders, and for

their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them,

I am old [and] stricken in age:

JO-23:3 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these

nations because of you; for the LORD your God [is] he that hath fought for

you.

JO-23:4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to

be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I

have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.

JO-23:5 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive

them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your

God hath promised unto you.

JO-23:6 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written

in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom [to] the

right hand or [to] the left;

JO-23:7 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you;

neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them],

neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

JO-23:8 But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

JO-23:9 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and

strong: but [as for] you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this

day.

JO-23:10 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he [it

is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

JO-23:11 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your

God.

JO-23:12 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of

these nations, [even] these that remain among you, and shall make marriages

with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:

JO-23:13 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out

[any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps

unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish

from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

JO-23:14 And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the earth: and ye

know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed

of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are

come to pass unto you, [and] not one thing hath failed thereof.

JO-23:15 Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good things are come

upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon

you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which

the LORD your God hath given you.

JO-23:16 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which

he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to

them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall

perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

JO-24:1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called

for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for

their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

JO-24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of

Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, [even]

Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other

gods.

JO-24:3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and

led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave

him Isaac.

JO-24:4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount

Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.

JO-24:5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that

which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

JO-24:6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea;

and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto

the Red sea.

JO-24:7 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and

the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes

have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long

season.

JO-24:8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the

other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand,

that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

JO-24:9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against

Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:

JO-24:10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still:

so I delivered you out of his hand.

JO-24:11 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of

Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the

Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the

Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.

JO-24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before

you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with thy sword, nor with

thy bow.

JO-24:13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities

which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards

which ye planted not do ye eat.

JO-24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in

truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of

the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

JO-24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day

whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on

the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye

dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

JO-24:16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake

the LORD, to serve other gods;

JO-24:17 For the LORD our God, he [it is] that brought us up and our fathers

out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great

signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among

all the people through whom we passed:

JO-24:18 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the

Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we also serve the LORD; for

he [is] our God.

JO-24:19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he

[is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will not forgive your

transgressions nor your sins.

JO-24:20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn

and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

JO-24:21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.

JO-24:22 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are] witnesses against

yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, [We

are] witnesses.

JO-24:23 Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange gods which [are]

among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.

JO-24:24 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and

his voice will we obey.

JO-24:25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a

statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

JO-24:26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took

a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary

of the LORD.

JO-24:27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a

witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake

unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

JO-24:28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.

JO-24:29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun,

the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an hundred and ten years old.

JO-24:30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in

Timnathserah, which [is] in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of

Gaash.

JO-24:31 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days

of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the

LORD, that he had done for Israel.

JO-24:32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out

of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of

the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and

it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.

JO-24:33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill

[that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
