1 Now after310 the death4194 of Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 it came1961 to pass, that the LORD3068 spoke559 to Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 Moses'4872 minister,8334 saying,559
2 Moses4872 my servant5650 is dead;4191 now6258 therefore arise,6965 go5674 over5674 this Jordan,3383 you, and all3605 this2088 people,5971 to the land776 which834 I do give5414 to them, even to the children1121 of Israel.3478
3 Every3605 place4725 that the sole3709 of your foot7272 shall tread1869 on, that have I given5414 to you, as I said1696 to Moses.4872
4 From the wilderness4057 and this2088 Lebanon3844 even to the great1419 river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates,6578 all3605 the land776 of the Hittites,2850 and to the great1419 sea3220 toward the going3996 down3996 of the sun,8121 shall be your coast.1366
5 There shall not any man376 be able3320 to stand3320 before6440 you all3605 the days3117 of your life:2416 as I was with Moses,4872 so I will be with you: I will not fail7503 you, nor3808 forsake5800 you.
6 Be strong2388 and of a good courage:553 for to this2088 people5971 shall you divide for an inheritance5157 the land,776 which834 I swore7650 to their fathers1 to give5414 them.
7 Only7535 be you strong2388 and very3966 courageous,553 that you may observe8104 to do6213 according to all3605 the law,8451 which834 Moses4872 my servant5650 commanded6680 you: turn5493 not from it to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left,8040 that you may prosper7919 wherever3605 834 you go.3212
8 This2088 book5612 of the law8451 shall not depart4185 out of your mouth;6310 but you shall meditate1897 therein day3119 and night,3915 that you may observe8104 to do6213 according to all3605 that is written3789 therein: for then227 you shall make your way1870 prosperous,6743 and then227 you shall have good success.7919
9 Have not I commanded6680 you? Be strong2388 and of a good courage;553 be not afraid,6206 neither408 be you dismayed:2865 for the LORD3068 your God430 is with you wherever3605 834 you go.3212
10 Then Joshua3091 commanded6680 the officers7860 of the people,5971 saying,559
11 Pass5674 through7130 the host,4264 and command6680 the people,5971 saying,559 Prepare3559 you victuals;6720 for within5750 three7969 days3117 you shall pass5674 over5674 this2088 Jordan,3383 to go935 in to possess3423 the land,776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 you to possess3423 it.
12 And to the Reubenites,7206 and to the Gadites,1425 and to half2677 the tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519 spoke559 Joshua,3091 saying,559
13 Remember2142 the word1697 which834 Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded6680 you, saying,559 The LORD3068 your God430 has given you rest,5117 and has given5414 you this2063 land.776
14 Your wives,802 your little2945 ones, and your cattle,4735 shall remain3427 in the land776 which834 Moses4872 gave5414 you on this side5676 Jordan;3383 but you shall pass5674 before6440 your brothers251 armed,2571 all3605 the mighty1368 men of valor,2428 and help5826 them;
15 Until5704 the LORD3068 have given your brothers251 rest,5117 as he has given you, and they also1571 have possessed3423 the land776 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 gives5414 them: then you shall return7725 to the land776 of your possession,3425 and enjoy3423 it, which834 Moses4872 the LORD's3068 servant5650 gave5414 you on this side5676 Jordan3383 toward the sun rise.4217 8121
16 And they answered6030 Joshua,3091 saying,559 All3605 that you command6680 us we will do,6213 and wherever413 you send7971 us, we will go.3212
17 According as we listened8085 to Moses4872 in all3605 things, so3651 will we listen8085 to you: only7535 the LORD3068 your God430 be with you, as he was with Moses.4872
18 Whoever376 834 he be that does rebel4784 against your commandment,6310 and will not listen8085 to your words1697 in all3605 that you command6680 him, he shall be put to death:4191 only7535 be strong2388 and of a good courage.553
1 And Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126 sent7971 out of Shittim7851 two8147 men582 to spy7270 secretly,2791 saying,559 Go3212 view7200 the land,776 even Jericho.3405 And they went,3212 and came935 into an harlot's2181 house,1004 named8034 Rahab,7343 and lodged7901 there.8033
2 And it was told559 the king4428 of Jericho,3405 saying,559 Behold,2009 there came935 men582 in here to night3915 of the children1121 of Israel3478 to search2658 out the country.776
3 And the king4428 of Jericho3405 sent7971 to Rahab,7343 saying,559 Bring3318 forth3318 the men582 that are come935 to you, which834 are entered935 into your house:1004 for they be come935 to search2658 out all3605 the country.776
4 And the woman802 took3947 the two8147 men,582 and hid6845 them, and said559 thus,3651 There came935 men582 to me, but I knew3045 not from where370 they were:
5 And it came1961 to pass about the time of shutting5462 of the gate,8179 when it was dark,2822 that the men582 went3318 out: where575 the men582 went1980 I know3045 not: pursue7291 after310 them quickly;4118 for you shall overtake5381 them.
6 But she had brought5927 them up to the roof1406 of the house, and hid2934 them with the stalks6086 of flax,6593 which she had laid in order6186 on the roof.1406
7 And the men582 pursued7291 after310 them the way1870 to Jordan3383 to the fords:4569 and as soon834 as they which834 pursued7291 after310 them were gone3318 out, they shut5462 the gate.8179
8 And before2962 they were laid7901 down,7901 she came5927 up to them on the roof;1406
9 And she said559 to the men,582 I know3045 that the LORD3068 has given5414 you the land,776 and that your terror367 is fallen5307 on us, and that all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 faint4127 because6440 of you.
10 For we have heard8085 how834 the LORD3068 dried3001 up the water4325 of the Red5488 sea3220 for you, when you came3318 out of Egypt;4714 and what834 you did6213 to the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 that were on the other5676 side5676 Jordan,3383 Sihon5511 and Og,5747 whom834 853 you utterly destroyed.2763
11 And as soon as we had heard8085 these things, our hearts3824 did melt,4549 neither3808 did there remain6965 any more5750 courage7307 in any man,376 because6440 of you: for the LORD3068 your God,430 he is God430 in heaven8064 above,4605 and in earth776 beneath.8478
12 Now6258 therefore, I pray4994 you, swear7650 to me by the LORD,3068 since3588 I have showed6213 you kindness,2617 that you will also1571 show6213 kindness2617 to my father's1 house,1004 and give5414 me a true571 token:226
13 And that you will save2421 alive2421 my father,1 and my mother,517 and my brothers,251 and my sisters,269 and all3605 that they have, and deliver5337 our lives5315 from death.4194
14 And the men582 answered559 her, Our life5315 for yours, if518 you utter5046 not this2088 our business.1697 And it shall be, when the LORD3068 has given5414 us the land,776 that we will deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with you.
15 Then she let3381 them down3381 by a cord2256 through1157 the window:2474 for her house1004 was on the town7023 wall,2346 and she dwelled3427 on the wall.2346
16 And she said559 to them, Get3212 you to the mountain,2022 lest6435 the pursuers7291 meet6293 you; and hide2247 yourselves there8033 three7969 days,3117 until5704 the pursuers7291 be returned:7725 and afterward310 may you go3212 your way.1870
17 And the men582 said559 to her, We will be blameless5355 of this2088 your oath7621 which834 you have made us swear.7650
18 Behold,2009 when we come935 into the land,776 you shall bind7194 this2088 line8615 of scarlet8144 thread2339 in the window2474 which834 you did let3381 us down3381 by: and you shall bring622 your father,1 and your mother,517 and your brothers,251 and all3605 your father's1 household,1004 home1004 to you.
19 And it shall be, that whoever3605 834 shall go3318 out of the doors1817 of your house1004 into the street,2351 his blood1818 shall be on his head,7218 and we will be guiltless:5355 and whoever3605 834 shall be with you in the house,1004 his blood1818 shall be on our head,7218 if518 any hand3027 be on him.
20 And if518 you utter5046 this2088 our business,1697 then we will be quit5355 of your oath7621 which834 you have made us to swear.7650
21 And she said,559 According to your words,1697 so3651 be it. And she sent7971 them away, and they departed:3212 and she bound7194 the scarlet8144 line8615 in the window.2474
22 And they went,3212 and came935 to the mountain,2022 and stayed3427 there8033 three7969 days,3117 until5704 the pursuers7291 were returned:7725 and the pursuers7291 sought1245 them throughout all3605 the way,1870 but found4672 them not.
23 So the two8147 men582 returned,7725 and descended3381 from the mountain,2022 and passed5674 over,5674 and came935 to Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and told5608 him all3605 things that befell4672 them:
24 And they said559 to Joshua,3091 Truly3588 the LORD3068 has delivered5414 into our hands3027 all3605 the land;776 for even1571 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the country776 do faint4127 because6440 of us.
1 And Joshua3091 rose7925 early7925 in the morning;1242 and they removed5265 from Shittim,7851 and came935 to Jordan,3383 he and all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and lodged3885 there8033 before2962 they passed5674 over.5674
2 And it came1961 to pass after7097 three7969 days,3117 that the officers7860 went5674 through7130 the host;4264
3 And they commanded6680 the people,5971 saying,559 When you see7200 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and the priests3548 the Levites3881 bearing5375 it, then you shall remove5265 from your place,4725 and go1980 after310 it.
4 Yet389 there shall be a space7350 between996 you and it, about two thousand505 cubits520 by measure:4060 come7126 not near7126 to it, that you may know3045 the way1870 by which834 you must go:3212 for you have not passed5674 this way1870 heretofore.8543
5 And Joshua3091 said559 to the people,5971 Sanctify6942 yourselves: for tomorrow4279 the LORD3068 will do6213 wonders6381 among7130 you.
6 And Joshua3091 spoke559 to the priests,3548 saying,559 Take5375 up the ark727 of the covenant,1285 and pass5674 over5674 before6440 the people.5971 And they took5375 up the ark727 of the covenant,1285 and went3212 before6440 the people.5971
7 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 This2088 day3117 will I begin2490 to magnify1431 you in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel,3478 that they may know3045 that, as I was with Moses,4872 so I will be with you.
8 And you shall command6680 the priests3548 that bear5375 the ark727 of the covenant,1285 saying,559 When you are come935 to the brink7097 of the water4325 of Jordan,3383 you shall stand5975 still in Jordan.3383
9 And Joshua3091 said559 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 Come5066 here,5066 and hear8085 the words1697 of the LORD3068 your God.430
10 And Joshua3091 said,559 Hereby2063 you shall know3045 that the living2416 God410 is among7130 you, and that he will without fail drive3423 out from before6440 you the Canaanites,3669 and the Hittites,2850 and the Hivites,2340 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Girgashites,1622 and the Amorites,567 and the Jebusites.2983
11 Behold,2009 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD113 of all3605 the earth776 passes5674 over5674 before6440 you into Jordan.3383
12 Now6258 therefore take3947 you twelve8147 6240 men376 out of the tribes7626 of Israel,3478 out of every tribe7626 a man.376
13 And it shall come1961 to pass, as soon as the soles3709 of the feet7272 of the priests3548 that bear5375 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 the LORD113 of all3605 the earth,776 shall rest5117 in the waters4325 of Jordan,3383 that the waters4325 of Jordan3383 shall be cut3772 off from the waters4325 that come3381 down3381 from above;4605 and they shall stand5975 on an heap.5067
14 And it came1961 to pass,5674 when the people5971 removed5265 from their tents,168 to pass5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 and the priests3548 bearing5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 before6440 the people;5971
15 And as they that bore5375 the ark727 were come935 to Jordan,3383 and the feet7272 of the priests3548 that bore5375 the ark727 were dipped2881 in the brim7097 of the water,4325 (for Jordan3383 overflows4390 all3605 his banks1415 all3605 the time3117 of harvest,7105)
16 That the waters4325 which came3381 down3381 from above4605 stood5975 and rose6965 up on an heap5067 very3966 far7368 from the city5892 Adam,121 that is beside6654 Zaretan:6891 and those that came3381 down3381 toward5921 the sea3220 of the plain,6160 even the salt4417 sea,3220 failed,8552 and were cut3772 off: and the people5971 passed5674 over5674 right against5048 Jericho.3405
17 And the priests3548 that bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 stood5975 firm3559 on dry2724 ground in the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 and all3605 the Israelites3478 passed5674 over5674 on dry2724 ground, until5704 all3605 the people1471 were passed5674 clean8552 over5674 Jordan.3383
1 And it came1961 to pass, when834 all3605 the people1471 were clean8552 passed5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 that the LORD3068 spoke559 to Joshua,3091 saying,559
2 Take3947 you twelve8147 6240 men582 out of the people,5971 out of every tribe7626 a man,376
3 And command6680 you them, saying,559 Take5375 you hence2088 out of the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 out of the place where the priests'3548 feet7272 stood4673 firm,3559 twelve8147 6240 stones,68 and you shall carry5674 them over5674 with you, and leave5117 them in the lodging4411 place, where834 you shall lodge3885 this night.3915
4 Then Joshua3091 called7121 the twelve8147 6240 men,376 whom834 he had prepared3559 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 out of every tribe7626 a man:376
5 And Joshua3091 said559 to them, Pass5674 over5674 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 your God430 into413 the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 and take7311 you up every man376 of you a stone68 on his shoulder,7926 according to the number4557 of the tribes7626 of the children1121 of Israel:3478
6 That this2063 may be a sign226 among7130 you, that when3588 your children1121 ask7592 their fathers in time4279 to come,4279 saying,559 What4100 mean you by these428 stones?68
7 Then you shall answer559 them, That the waters4325 of Jordan3383 were cut3772 off before6440 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD;3068 when it passed5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 the waters4325 of Jordan3383 were cut3772 off: and these428 stones68 shall be for a memorial2146 to the children1121 of Israel3478 for ever.5769
8 And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 so3651 as Joshua3091 commanded,6680 and took5375 up twelve8147 6240 stones68 out of the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 as the LORD3068 spoke1696 to Joshua,3091 according to the number4557 of the tribes7626 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 and carried5674 them over5674 with them to the place where413 they lodged,4411 and laid3240 them down there.8033
9 And Joshua3091 set6965 up twelve8147 6240 stones68 in the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 in the place where the feet7272 of the priests3548 which bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 stood:4673 and they are there8033 to this2063 day.3117
10 For the priests3548 which bore5375 the ark727 stood5975 in the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 until5704 every3605 thing1697 was finished8552 that the LORD3068 commanded6680 Joshua3091 to speak1696 to the people,5971 according to all3605 that Moses4872 commanded6680 Joshua:3091 and the people5971 hurried4116 and passed5674 over.5674
11 And it came1961 to pass, when834 all3605 the people5971 were clean8552 passed5674 over,5674 that the ark727 of the LORD3068 passed5674 over,5674 and the priests,3548 in the presence6440 of the people.5971
12 And the children1121 of Reuben,7205 and the children1121 of Gad,1410 and half2677 the tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519 passed5674 over5674 armed2571 before6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 as Moses4872 spoke1696 to them:
13 About forty705 thousand505 prepared2502 for war6635 passed5674 over5674 before6440 the LORD3068 to battle,4421 to the plains6160 of Jericho.3405
14 On that day3117 the LORD3068 magnified1431 Joshua3091 in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel;3478 and they feared3372 him, as they feared3372 Moses,4872 all3605 the days3117 of his life.2416
15 And the LORD3068 spoke559 to Joshua,3091 saying,559
16 Command6680 the priests3548 that bear5375 the ark727 of the testimony,5715 that they come5927 up out of Jordan.3383
17 Joshua3091 therefore commanded6680 the priests,3548 saying,559 Come5927 you up out of Jordan.3383
18 And it came1961 to pass, when the priests3548 that bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 were come5927 up out of the middle8432 of Jordan,3383 and the soles3709 of the priests'3548 feet7272 were lifted5423 up to the dry2724 land, that the waters4325 of Jordan3383 returned7725 to their place,4725 and flowed3212 over5921 all3605 his banks,1415 as they did before.8543 8032
19 And the people5971 came5927 up out of Jordan3383 on the tenth6218 day of the first7223 month,2320 and encamped2583 in Gilgal,1537 in the east4217 border7097 of Jericho.3405
20 And those428 twelve8147 6240 stones,68 which834 they took3947 out of Jordan,3383 did Joshua3091 pitch6965 in Gilgal.1537
21 And he spoke559 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 saying,559 When834 your children1121 shall ask7592 their fathers1 in time4279 to come,4279 saying,559 What4100 mean these428 stones?68
22 Then you shall let your children1121 know,3045 saying,559 Israel3478 came5674 over5674 this2088 Jordan3383 on dry3004 land.
23 For the LORD3068 your God430 dried3001 up the waters4325 of Jordan3383 from before6440 you, until5704 you were passed5674 over,5674 as the LORD3068 your God430 did6213 to the Red5488 sea,3220 which834 he dried3001 up from before6440 us, until5704 we were gone5674 over:5674
24 That all3605 the people5971 of the earth776 might know3045 the hand3027 of the LORD,3068 that it is mighty:2389 that you might fear3372 the LORD3068 your God430 for ever.3605 3117
1 And it came1961 to pass, when all3605 the kings4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 were on the side5676 of Jordan3383 westward,3220 and all3605 the kings4428 of the Canaanites,3669 which834 were by the sea,3220 heard8085 that the LORD3068 had dried3001 up the waters4325 of Jordan3383 from before6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 until5704 we were passed5674 over,5674 that their heart3824 melted,4549 neither3808 was there spirit7307 in them any more,5750 because6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478
2 At that time6256 the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 Make6213 you sharp6697 knives,2719 and circumcise4135 again7725 the children1121 of Israel3478 the second8145 time.
3 And Joshua3091 made6213 him sharp6697 knives,2719 and circumcised4135 the children1121 of Israel3478 at413 the hill1389 of the foreskins.6190
4 And this2088 is the cause1697 why834 Joshua3091 did circumcise:4135 All3605 the people5971 that came3318 out of Egypt,4714 that were males,2145 even all3605 the men582 of war,4421 died4191 in the wilderness4057 by the way,1870 after they came3318 out of Egypt.4714
5 Now3588 all3605 the people5971 that came3318 out were circumcised:4135 but all3605 the people5971 that were born3209 in the wilderness4057 by the way1870 as they came3318 forth3318 out of Egypt,4714 them they had not circumcised.4135
6 For the children1121 of Israel3478 walked1980 forty705 years8141 in the wilderness,4057 till5704 all3605 the people1471 that were men582 of war,4421 which came3318 out of Egypt,4714 were consumed,8552 because834 they obeyed8085 not the voice6963 of the LORD:3068 to whom834 1992 the LORD3068 swore7650 that he would not show7200 them the land,776 which834 the LORD3068 swore7650 to their fathers1 that he would give5414 us, a land776 that flows2100 with milk2461 and honey.1706
7 And their children,1121 whom he raised6965 up in their stead,8478 them Joshua3091 circumcised:4135 for they were uncircumcised,6189 because3588 they had not circumcised4135 them by the way.1870
8 And it came1961 to pass, when834 they had done8552 circumcising4135 all3605 the people,1471 that they stayed3427 in their places8478 in the camp,4264 till5704 they were whole.2421
9 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 This day3117 have I rolled1556 away the reproach2781 of Egypt4714 from off5921 you. Why the name8034 of the place4725 is called7121 Gilgal1537 to this2088 day.3117
10 And the children1121 of Israel3478 encamped2583 in Gilgal,1537 and kept6213 the passover6453 on the fourteenth702 6240 day3117 of the month2320 at even6153 in the plains6160 of Jericho.3405
11 And they did eat398 of the old5669 corn5669 of the land776 on the morrow4283 after the passover,6453 unleavened4682 cakes,4682 and parched corn in the selfsame2088 6106 day.3117
12 And the manna4478 ceased7673 on the morrow4283 after they had eaten398 of the old5669 corn5669 of the land;776 neither3808 had1961 the children1121 of Israel3478 manna4478 any more;5750 but they did eat398 of the fruit8393 of the land776 of Canaan3667 that year.8141
13 And it came1961 to pass, when Joshua3091 was by Jericho,3405 that he lifted5375 up his eyes5869 and looked,7200 and, behold,2009 there stood5975 a man376 over5048 against5048 him with his sword2719 drawn8025 in his hand:3027 and Joshua3091 went3212 to him, and said559 to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?6862
14 And he said,559 No;3808 but as captain8269 of the host6635 of the LORD3068 am I now6258 come.935 And Joshua3091 fell5307 on413 his face6440 to the earth,776 and did worship,7812 and said559 to him, What4100 said1696 my Lord113 to his servant?5650
15 And the captain8269 of the LORD's3068 host6635 said559 to Joshua,3091 Loose5394 your shoe5275 from off5921 your foot;7272 for the place4725 where on834 5921 you stand5975 is holy.6944 And Joshua3091 did6213 so.3651
1 Now Jericho3405 was straightly shut5462 up because6440 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 none369 went3318 out, and none369 came935 in.
2 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 See,7200 I have given5414 into your hand3027 Jericho,3405 and the king4428 thereof, and the mighty1368 men of valor.2428
3 And you shall compass5437 the city,5892 all3605 you men582 of war,4421 and go5362 round5362 about the city5892 once.259 Thus3541 shall you do6213 six8337 days.3117
4 And seven7651 priests3548 shall bear5375 before6440 the ark727 seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams'3104 horns:3104 and the seventh7637 day3117 you shall compass5437 the city5892 seven7651 times,6471 and the priests3548 shall blow8628 with the trumpets.7782
5 And it shall come1961 to pass, that when they make a long4900 blast with the ram's3104 horn,7161 and when you hear8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 all3605 the people5971 shall shout7321 with a great1419 shout;8643 and the wall2346 of the city5892 shall fall5307 down flat,8478 and the people5971 shall ascend5927 up every man376 straight before5048 him.
6 And Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126 called7121 the priests,3548 and said559 to them, Take5375 up the ark727 of the covenant,1285 and let seven7651 priests3548 bear5375 seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams'3104 horns3104 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD.3068
7 And he said559 to the people,5971 Pass5674 on, and compass5437 the city,5892 and let him that is armed2502 pass5674 on413 before6440 the ark of the LORD.3068
8 And it came1961 to pass, when Joshua3091 had spoken559 to the people,5971 that the seven7651 priests3548 bearing5375 the seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams'3104 horns3104 passed5674 on413 before6440 the LORD,3068 and blew8628 with the trumpets:7782 and the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 followed1980 310 them.
9 And the armed2502 men went1980 before6440 the priests3548 that blew8628 with the trumpets,7782 and the rear guard622 came1980 after310 the ark,727 the priests3548 going1980 on, and blowing8628 with the trumpets.7782
10 And Joshua3091 had commanded6680 the people,5971 saying,559 You shall not shout,7321 nor3808 make any noise8085 with your voice,6963 neither3808 shall any word1697 proceed3318 out of your mouth,6310 until5704 the day3117 I bid559 you shout;7321 then shall you shout.7321
11 So the ark727 of the LORD3068 compassed5437 the city,5892 going5362 about5362 it once:259 and they came935 into the camp,4264 and lodged3885 in the camp.4264
12 And Joshua3091 rose7925 early7925 in the morning,1242 and the priests3548 took5375 up the ark727 of the LORD.3068
13 And seven7651 priests bearing5375 seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams'3104 horns3104 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 went1980 on413 continually,1980 and blew8628 with the trumpets:7782 and the armed2502 men went1980 before6440 them; but the rear guard622 came1980 after310 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 the priests3548 going1980 on,413 and blowing8628 with the trumpets.7782
14 And the second8145 day3117 they compassed5437 the city5892 once,259 and returned7725 into the camp:4264 so3541 they did6213 six8337 days.3117
15 And it came1961 to pass on the seventh7637 day,3117 that they rose7925 early7925 about the dawning5927 of the day,7837 and compassed5437 the city5892 after the same2088 manner4941 seven7651 times:6471 only7535 on that day3117 they compassed5437 the city5892 seven7651 times.6471
16 And it came1961 to pass at the seventh7637 time,6471 when the priests3548 blew8628 with the trumpets,7782 Joshua3091 said559 to the people,5971 Shout;7321 for the LORD3068 has given5414 you the city.5892
17 And the city5892 shall be accursed,2764 even it, and all3605 that are therein, to the LORD:3068 only7535 Rahab7343 the harlot2181 shall live,2421 she and all3605 that are with her in the house,1004 because3588 she hid2244 the messengers4397 that we sent.7971
18 And you, in any wise keep8104 yourselves from the accursed2764 thing, lest6435 you make yourselves accursed,2763 when you take3947 of the accursed2764 thing, and make7760 the camp4264 of Israel3478 a curse,2764 and trouble5916 it.
19 But all3605 the silver,3701 and gold,2091 and vessels3627 of brass5178 and iron,1270 are consecrated6944 to the LORD:3068 they shall come935 into the treasury214 of the LORD.3068
20 So the people5971 shouted7321 when the priests3548 blew8628 with the trumpets:7782 and it came1961 to pass, when the people5971 heard8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 and the people5971 shouted7321 with a great1419 shout,8643 that the wall2346 fell5307 down flat,8478 so that the people5971 went5927 up into the city,5892 every man376 straight before5048 him, and they took3920 the city.5892
21 And they utterly destroyed2763 all3605 that was in the city,5892 both man376 and woman,802 young5288 and old,2205 and ox,7794 and sheep,7716 and ass,2543 with the edge6310 of the sword.2719
22 But Joshua3091 had said559 to the two8147 men582 that had spied7270 out the country,776 Go935 into the harlot's2181 house,1004 and bring3318 out there8033 the woman,802 and all3605 that she has, as you swore7650 to her.
23 And the young5288 men that were spies7270 went935 in, and brought3318 out Rahab,7343 and her father,1 and her mother,517 and her brothers,251 and all3605 that she had; and they brought3318 out all3605 her kindred,4940 and left5117 them without2351 the camp4264 of Israel.3478
24 And they burnt8313 the city5892 with fire,784 and all3605 that was therein: only7535 the silver,3701 and the gold,2091 and the vessels3627 of brass5178 and of iron,1270 they put5414 into the treasury214 of the house1004 of the LORD.3068
25 And Joshua3091 saved2421 Rahab7343 the harlot2181 alive,2421 and her father's1 household,1004 and all3605 that she had; and she dwells3427 in Israel3478 even to this2088 day;3117 because3588 she hid2244 the messengers,4397 which834 Joshua3091 sent7971 to spy7270 out Jericho.3405
26 And Joshua3091 adjured7650 them at that time,6256 saying,559 Cursed779 be the man376 before6440 the LORD,3068 that rises6965 up and builds1129 this2063 city5892 Jericho:3405 he shall lay the foundation3245 thereof in his firstborn,1060 and in his youngest6810 son shall he set5324 up the gates1817 of it.
27 So the LORD3068 was with Joshua;3091 and his fame8089 was noised throughout all3605 the country.776
1 But the children1121 of Israel3478 committed4603 a trespass4604 in the accursed2764 thing: for Achan,5912 the son1121 of Carmi,3756 the son1121 of Zabdi,2067 the son1121 of Zerah,2226 of the tribe4294 of Judah,3063 took3947 of the accursed2764 thing: and the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against the children1121 of Israel.3478
2 And Joshua3091 sent7971 men582 from Jericho3405 to Ai,5857 which834 is beside5973 Bethaven,1007 on the east6924 of Bethel,1008 and spoke559 to them, saying,559 Go5927 up and view7270 the country.776 And the men582 went5927 up and viewed7270 Ai.5857
3 And they returned7725 to Joshua,3091 and said559 to him, Let not all3605 the people5971 go5927 up; but let about two or176 three7969 thousand505 men376 go5927 up and smite5217 Ai;5857 and make not all3605 the people5971 to labor3021 thither;8033 for they are but few.4592
4 So there went5927 up thither8033 of the people5971 about three7969 thousand505 men:376 and they fled5127 before6440 the men582 of Ai.5857
5 And the men582 of Ai5857 smote5221 of them about thirty7970 and six8337 men:376 for they chased7291 them from before6440 the gate8179 even to Shebarim,7671 and smote5221 them in the going4174 down:4174 why the hearts3824 of the people5971 melted,4549 and became1961 as water.4325
6 And Joshua3091 rent7167 his clothes,8071 and fell5307 to the earth776 on his face6440 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 until5704 the eventide,6153 he and the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and put5927 dust6083 on their heads.7218
7 And Joshua3091 said,559 Alas,162 O LORD136 God,3069 why4100 have you at all brought5674 this2088 people5971 over5674 Jordan,3383 to deliver5414 us into the hand3027 of the Amorites,567 to destroy6 us? would3863 to God we had been content,2974 and dwelled3427 on the other5676 side5676 Jordan!3383
8 O LORD,136 what4100 shall I say,559 when6310 Israel3478 turns2015 their backs6203 before6440 their enemies!341
9 For the Canaanites3669 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 shall hear8085 of it, and shall environ5437 us round,5921 and cut3772 off our name8034 from the earth:776 and what4100 will you do6213 to your great1419 name?8034
10 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 Get6965 you up; why4100 lie5307 you thus2088 on your face?6440
11 Israel3478 has sinned,2398 and they have also1571 transgressed5674 my covenant1285 which834 I commanded6680 them: for they have even1571 taken3947 of the accursed2764 thing, and have also1571 stolen,1589 and dissembled3584 also,1571 and they have put7760 it even1571 among their own stuff.3627
12 Therefore the children1121 of Israel3478 could3201 not stand6965 before6440 their enemies,341 but turned6437 their backs6203 before6440 their enemies,341 because3588 they were accursed:2764 neither3808 will I be with you any more,3254 except518 3808 you destroy8045 the accursed2764 from among7130 you.
13 Up, sanctify6942 the people,5971 and say,559 Sanctify6942 yourselves against to morrow:4279 for thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 There is an accursed2764 thing in the middle7130 of you, O Israel:3478 you can3201 not stand6965 before6440 your enemies,341 until5704 you take5493 away the accursed2764 thing from among7130 you.
14 In the morning1242 therefore you shall be brought7126 according to your tribes:7626 and it shall be, that the tribe7626 which834 the LORD3068 takes3920 shall come7126 according to the families4940 thereof; and the family4940 which834 the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 by households;1004 and the household1004 which834 the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 man1397 by man.1397
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken3920 with the accursed2764 thing shall be burnt8313 with fire,784 he and all3605 that he has: because3588 he has transgressed5674 the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 and because3588 he has worked6213 folly5039 in Israel.3478
16 So Joshua3091 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and brought7126 Israel3478 by their tribes;7626 and the tribe7626 of Judah3063 was taken:3920
17 And he brought7126 the family4940 of Judah;3063 and he took3920 the family4940 of the Zarhites:2227 and he brought7126 the family4940 of the Zarhites2227 man1397 by man;1397 and Zabdi2067 was taken:3920
18 And he brought7126 his household1004 man1397 by man;1397 and Achan,5912 the son1121 of Carmi,3756 the son1121 of Zabdi,2067 the son1121 of Zerah,2226 of the tribe4294 of Judah,3063 was taken.3920
19 And Joshua3091 said559 to Achan,5912 My son,1121 give,7760 I pray4994 you, glory3519 to the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and make5414 confession8426 to him; and tell5046 me now4994 what4100 you have done;6213 hide3582 it not from me.
20 And Achan5912 answered6030 Joshua,3091 and said,559 Indeed546 I have sinned2398 against the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and thus2063 and thus2063 have I done:6213
21 When I saw7200 among the spoils7998 a goodly2896 Babylonish8152 garment,155 and two hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701 and a wedge3956 of gold2091 of fifty2572 shekels8255 weight,4948 then I coveted2530 them, and took3947 them; and, behold,2009 they are hid2934 in the earth776 in the middle8432 of my tent,168 and the silver3701 under8478 it.
22 So Joshua3091 sent7971 messengers,4397 and they ran7323 to the tent;168 and, behold,2009 it was hid2934 in his tent,168 and the silver3701 under8478 it.
23 And they took3947 them out of the middle8432 of the tent,168 and brought935 them to Joshua,3091 and to all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and laid3332 them out before6440 the LORD.3068
24 And Joshua,3091 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, took3947 Achan5912 the son1121 of Zerah,2226 and the silver,3701 and the garment,155 and the wedge3956 of gold,2091 and his sons,1121 and his daughters,1323 and his oxen,7794 and his asses,2543 and his sheep,6629 and his tent,168 and all3605 that he had: and they brought5927 them to the valley6010 of Achor.5911
25 And Joshua3091 said,559 Why4100 have you troubled5916 us? the LORD3068 shall trouble5916 you this2088 day.3117 And all3605 Israel3478 stoned5619 him with stones,68 and burned8313 them with fire,784 after they had stoned7275 them with stones.68
26 And they raised6965 over5921 him a great1419 heap1530 of stones68 to this2088 day.3117 So the LORD3068 turned7725 from the fierceness2740 of his anger.639 Why5921 3651 the name8034 of that place4725 was called,7121 The valley6010 of Achor,5911 to this2088 day.3117
1 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 Fear3372 not, neither408 be you dismayed:2865 take3947 all3605 the people5971 of war4421 with you, and arise,6965 go5927 up to Ai:5857 see,7200 I have given5414 into your hand3027 the king4428 of Ai,5857 and his people,5971 and his city,5892 and his land:776
2 And you shall do6213 to Ai5857 and her king4428 as you did6213 to Jericho3405 and her king:4428 only7535 the spoil7998 thereof, and the cattle929 thereof, shall you take for a prey962 to yourselves: lay7760 you an ambush693 for the city5892 behind310 it.
3 So Joshua3091 arose,6965 and all3605 the people5971 of war,4421 to go5927 up against Ai:5857 and Joshua3091 chose977 out thirty7970 thousand505 mighty1368 men376 of valor,2428 and sent7971 them away by night.3915
4 And he commanded6680 them, saying,559 Behold,7200 you shall lie693 in wait693 against the city,5892 even behind310 the city:5892 go7368 not very3966 far7368 from the city,5892 but be you all3605 ready:3559
5 And I, and all3605 the people5971 that are with me, will approach7126 to the city:5892 and it shall come1961 to pass, when3588 they come3318 out against7125 us, as at the first,7223 that we will flee5127 before6440 them,
6 (For they will come3318 out after310 us) till5704 we have drawn5423 them from the city;5892 for they will say,559 They flee5127 before6440 us, as at the first:7223 therefore we will flee5127 before6440 them.
7 Then you shall rise6965 up from the ambush,693 and seize3423 on the city:5892 for the LORD3068 your God430 will deliver5414 it into your hand.3027
8 And it shall be, when you have taken8610 the city,5892 that you shall set3341 the city5892 on fire:784 according to the commandment1697 of the LORD3068 shall you do.6213 See,7200 I have commanded6680 you.
9 Joshua3091 therefore sent7971 them forth: and they went3212 to lie in ambush,693 and stayed3427 between996 Bethel1008 and Ai,5857 on the west3220 side of Ai:5857 but Joshua3091 lodged3885 that night3915 among8432 the people.5971
10 And Joshua3091 rose7925 up early7925 in the morning,1242 and numbered6485 the people,5971 and went5927 up, he and the elders2205 of Israel,3478 before6440 the people5971 to Ai.5857
11 And all3605 the people,5971 even the people5971 of war4421 that were with him, went5927 up, and drew near,5066 and came935 before5048 the city,5892 and pitched2583 on the north6828 side of Ai:5857 now there was a valley1516 between996 them and Ai.5857
12 And he took3947 about five2568 thousand505 men,376 and set7760 them to lie in ambush693 between996 Bethel1008 and Ai,5857 on the west3220 side of the city.5892
13 And when they had set7760 the people,5971 even all3605 the host4264 that was on the north6828 of the city,5892 and their liers in wait6119 on the west3220 of the city,5892 Joshua3091 went3212 that night3915 into the middle8432 of the valley.6010
14 And it came1961 to pass, when the king4428 of Ai5857 saw7200 it, that they hurried4116 and rose7925 up early,7925 and the men582 of the city5892 went3318 out against7125 Israel3478 to battle,4421 he and all3605 his people,5971 at a time appointed,4150 before6440 the plain;6160 but he knew3045 not that there were liers in ambush693 against him behind310 the city.5892
15 And Joshua3091 and all3605 Israel3478 made as if they were beaten5060 before6440 them, and fled5127 by the way1870 of the wilderness.4057
16 And all3605 the people5971 that were in Ai5892 were called2199 together to pursue7291 after310 them: and they pursued7291 after310 Joshua,3091 and were drawn5423 away from the city.5892
17 And there was not a man376 left7604 in Ai5857 or Bethel,1008 that went3318 not out after310 Israel:3478 and they left5800 the city5892 open,6605 and pursued7291 after Israel.3478
18 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 Stretch5186 out the spear3591 that is in your hand3027 toward413 Ai;5857 for I will give5414 it into your hand.3027 And Joshua3091 stretched5186 out the spear3591 that he had in his hand3027 toward413 the city.5892
19 And the ambush693 arose6965 quickly4120 out of their place,4725 and they ran7323 as soon as he had stretched5186 out his hand:3027 and they entered935 into the city,5892 and took3920 it, and hurried4116 and set the city5892 on fire.784
20 And when the men582 of Ai5857 looked6437 behind310 them, they saw,7200 and, behold,2009 the smoke6227 of the city5892 ascended5927 up to heaven,8064 and they had no3808 power3027 to flee5127 this2007 way2008 or that way:2008 and the people5971 that fled5127 to the wilderness4057 turned2015 back2015 on the pursuers.7291
21 And when Joshua3091 and all3605 Israel3478 saw7200 that the ambush693 had taken3920 the city,5892 and that the smoke6227 of the city5892 ascended,5927 then they turned7725 again,7725 and slew5221 the men582 of Ai.5857
22 And the other428 issued3318 out of the city5892 against7125 them; so they were in the middle8432 of Israel,3478 some428 on this2088 side, and some428 on that side: and they smote5221 them, so5704 that they let none1115 of them remain8300 or escape.6412
23 And the king4428 of Ai5857 they took8610 alive,2416 and brought7126 him to Joshua.3091
24 And it came1961 to pass, when Israel3478 had made an end3615 of slaying2026 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Ai5857 in the field,7704 in the wilderness4057 wherein834 they chased7291 them, and when they were all3605 fallen5307 on the edge6310 of the sword,2719 until5704 they were consumed,8552 that all3605 the Israelites3478 returned7725 to Ai,5857 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword.2719
25 And so it was, that all3605 that fell5307 that day,3117 both of men376 and women,802 were twelve8147 6240 thousand,505 even all3605 the men582 of Ai.5857
26 For Joshua3091 drew7725 not his hand3027 back,7725 with which834 he stretched5186 out the spear,3591 until5704 he had utterly destroyed2763 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Ai.5857
27 Only7535 the cattle929 and the spoil7998 of that city5892 Israel3478 took for a prey962 to themselves,1992 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 he commanded6680 Joshua.3091
28 And Joshua3091 burnt8313 Ai,5857 and made7760 it an heap8510 for ever,5769 even a desolation8077 to this2088 day.3117
29 And the king4428 of Ai5857 he hanged8518 on5921 a tree6086 until5704 eventide:6256 6153 and as soon as the sun8121 was down,935 Joshua3091 commanded6680 that they should take3381 his carcass5038 down3381 from the tree,6086 and cast7993 it at413 the entering6607 of the gate8179 of the city,5892 and raise6965 thereon5921 a great1419 heap1530 of stones,68 that remains to this2088 day.3117
30 Then227 Joshua3091 built1129 an altar4196 to the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 in mount2022 Ebal,5858
31 As Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded6680 the children1121 of Israel,3478 as it is written3789 in the book5612 of the law8451 of Moses,4872 an altar4196 of whole8003 stones,68 over5921 which834 no3808 man has lift5130 up any iron:1270 and they offered5927 thereon5921 burnt5930 offerings to the LORD,3068 and sacrificed2076 peace8002 offerings.
32 And he wrote3789 there8033 on the stones68 a copy4932 of the law8451 of Moses,4872 which834 he wrote3789 in the presence6440 of the children1121 of Israel.3478
33 And all3605 Israel,3478 and their elders,2205 and officers,7860 and their judges,8199 stood5975 on this2088 side the ark727 and on that side before5048 the priests3548 the Levites,3881 which bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 as well the stranger,1616 as he that was born249 among them; half2677 of them over413 against4136 mount2022 Gerizim,1630 and half2677 of them over413 4136 against4136 mount2022 Ebal;5858 as Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 had commanded6680 before,7223 that they should bless1288 the people5971 of Israel.3478
34 And afterward310 3651 he read7121 all3605 the words1697 of the law,8451 the blessings1293 and cursings,7045 according to all3605 that is written3789 in the book5612 of the law.8451
35 There was not a word1697 of all3605 that Moses4872 commanded,6680 which834 Joshua3091 read7121 not before5048 all3605 the congregation6951 of Israel,3478 with the women,802 and the little2945 ones, and the strangers1616 that were conversant1980 among7130 them.
1 And it came1961 to pass, when all3605 the kings4428 which834 were on this side5676 Jordan,3383 in the hills,2022 and in the valleys,8219 and in all3605 the coasts2348 of the great1419 sea3220 over413 4136 against4136 Lebanon,3844 the Hittite,2850 and the Amorite,567 the Canaanite,3669 the Perizzite,6522 the Hivite,2340 and the Jebusite,2983 heard8085 thereof;
2 That they gathered6908 themselves together,3162 to fight3898 with Joshua3091 and with Israel,3478 with one259 accord.6310
3 And when the inhabitants3427 of Gibeon1391 heard8085 what853 834 Joshua3091 had done6213 to Jericho3405 and to Ai,5857
4 They did6213 work6213 wilily,6195 and went3212 and made as if they had been ambassadors,6735 and took3947 old1087 sacks8242 on their asses,2543 and wine3196 bottles,4997 old,1087 and rent,1234 and bound6887 up;
5 And old1087 shoes5275 and clouted2921 on their feet,7272 and old1087 garments8008 on them; and all3605 the bread3899 of their provision6718 was dry3001 and moldy.5350
6 And they went3212 to Joshua3091 to the camp4264 at Gilgal,1537 and said559 to him, and to the men376 of Israel,3478 We be come935 from a far7350 country:776 now6258 therefore make3772 you a league1285 with us.
7 And the men376 of Israel3478 said559 to the Hivites,2340 Peradventure194 you dwell3427 among7130 us; and how349 shall we make3772 a league1285 with you?
8 And they said559 to Joshua,3091 We are your servants.5650 And Joshua3091 said559 to them, Who4310 are you? and from from where370 come935 you?
9 And they said559 to him, From a very3966 far7350 country776 your servants5650 are come935 because of the name8034 of the LORD3068 your God:430 for we have heard8085 the fame8089 of him, and all3605 that he did6213 in Egypt,4714
10 And all3605 that he did6213 to the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 that were beyond5676 Jordan,3383 to Sihon5511 king4428 of Heshbon,2809 and to Og5747 king4428 of Bashan,1316 which834 was at Ashtaroth.6252
11 Why our elders2205 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of our country776 spoke559 to us, saying,559 Take3947 victuals6720 with you for the journey,1870 and go3212 to meet7125 them, and say559 to them, We are your servants:5650 therefore now6258 make3772 you a league1285 with us.
12 This2088 our bread3899 we took hot2525 for our provision6679 out of our houses1004 on the day3117 we came3318 forth3318 to go3212 to you; but now,6258 behold,2009 it is dry,3001 and it is moldy:5350
13 And these428 bottles4997 of wine,3196 which834 we filled,4390 were new;2319 and, behold,2009 they be rent:1234 and these428 our garments8008 and our shoes5275 are become1086 old1086 by reason of the very3966 long7230 journey.1870
14 And the men582 took3947 of their victuals,6718 and asked7592 not counsel at the mouth6310 of the LORD.3068
15 And Joshua3091 made6213 peace7965 with them, and made6213 a league1285 with them, to let them live:2421 and the princes5387 of the congregation5712 swore7650 to them.
16 And it came1961 to pass at the end7097 of three7969 days3117 after310 they had made3772 a league1285 with them, that they heard8085 that they were their neighbors,7138 and that they dwelled3427 among7130 them.
17 And the children1121 of Israel3478 journeyed,5265 and came935 to their cities5892 on the third7992 day.3117 Now their cities5892 were Gibeon,1391 and Chephirah,3716 and Beeroth,881 and Kirjathjearim.7157
18 And the children1121 of Israel3478 smote5221 them not, because3588 the princes5387 of the congregation5712 had sworn7650 to them by the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478 And all3605 the congregation5712 murmured3885 against5921 the princes.5387
19 But all3605 the princes5387 said559 to all3605 the congregation,5712 We have sworn7650 to them by the LORD3068 God430 of Israel:3478 now6258 therefore we may3201 not touch5060 them.
20 This2063 we will do6213 to them; we will even let them live,2421 lest3808 wrath7110 be on us, because5921 of the oath7621 which834 we swore7650 to them.
21 And the princes5387 said559 to them, Let them live;2421 but let them be hewers2404 of wood6086 and drawers7579 of water4325 to all3605 the congregation;5712 as the princes5387 had promised1696 them.
22 And Joshua3091 called7121 for them, and he spoke1696 to them, saying,559 Why4100 have you beguiled7411 us, saying,559 We are very3966 far7350 from you; when you dwell3427 among7130 us?
23 Now6258 therefore you are cursed,779 and there shall none3808 of you be freed3772 from being slaves,5650 and hewers2404 of wood6086 and drawers7579 of water4325 for the house1004 of my God.430
24 And they answered6030 Joshua,3091 and said,559 Because3588 it was certainly told5046 your servants,5650 how that the LORD3068 your God430 commanded6680 his servant5650 Moses4872 to give5414 you all3605 the land,776 and to destroy8045 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 from before6440 you, therefore we were sore3966 afraid3372 of our lives5315 because6440 of you, and have done6213 this2088 thing.1697
25 And now,6258 behold,2005 we are in your hand:3027 as it seems5869 good2896 and right3477 to you to do6213 to us, do.6213
26 And so3651 did6213 he to them, and delivered5337 them out of the hand3027 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 that they slew2026 them not.
27 And Joshua3091 made5414 them that day3117 hewers2404 of wood6086 and drawers7579 of water4325 for the congregation,5712 and for the altar4196 of the LORD,3068 even to this2088 day,3117 in the place4725 which834 he should choose.977
1 Now it came1961 to pass, when Adonizedec139 king4428 of Jerusalem3389 had heard8085 how3588 Joshua3091 had taken3920 Ai,5857 and had utterly destroyed2763 it; as he had done6213 to Jericho3405 and her king,4428 so3651 he had done6213 to Ai5857 and her king;4428 and how3588 the inhabitants3427 of Gibeon1391 had made peace7999 with Israel,3478 and were among7130 them;
2 That they feared3372 greatly,3966 because3588 Gibeon1391 was a great1419 city,5892 as one259 of the royal4467 cities,5892 and because3588 it was greater1419 than4480 Ai,5857 and all3605 the men582 thereof were mighty.1368
3 Why Adonizedec139 king4428 of Jerusalem,3389 sent7971 to Hoham1944 king4428 of Hebron,2275 and to Piram6502 king4428 of Jarmuth,3412 and to Japhia3309 king4428 of Lachish,3923 and to Debir1688 king4428 of Eglon,5700 saying,559
4 Come5927 up to me, and help5826 me, that we may smite5217 Gibeon:1391 for it has made peace7999 with Joshua3091 and with the children1121 of Israel.3478
5 Therefore the five2568 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 the king4428 of Jerusalem,3389 the king4428 of Hebron,2275 the king4428 of Jarmuth,3412 the king4428 of Lachish,3923 the king4428 of Eglon,5700 gathered622 themselves together, and went5927 up, they and all3605 their hosts,4264 and encamped2583 before5921 Gibeon,1391 and made war3898 against5921 it.
6 And the men582 of Gibeon1391 sent7971 to Joshua3091 to the camp4264 to Gilgal,1537 saying,559 Slack7503 not your hand3027 from your servants;5650 come5927 up to us quickly,4120 and save3467 us, and help5826 us: for all the kings4428 of the Amorites567 that dwell3427 in the mountains2022 are gathered6908 together against413 us.
7 So Joshua3091 ascended5927 from Gilgal,1537 he, and all3605 the people5971 of war4421 with him, and all3605 the mighty1368 men of valor.2428
8 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 Fear3372 them not: for I have delivered5414 them into your hand;3027 there shall not a man376 of them stand5975 before6440 you.
9 Joshua3091 therefore came935 to them suddenly,6597 and went5927 up from Gilgal1537 all3605 night.3915
10 And the LORD3068 discomfited1949 them before6440 Israel,3478 and slew5221 them with a great1419 slaughter4347 at Gibeon,1391 and chased7291 them along the way1870 that goes4609 up to Bethhoron,1032 and smote5221 them to Azekah,5825 and to Makkedah.4719
11 And it came1961 to pass, as they fled5127 from before6440 Israel,3478 and were in the going4174 down4174 to Bethhoron,1032 that the LORD3068 cast7993 down great1419 stones68 from heaven8064 on them to Azekah,5825 and they died:4191 they were more7227 which834 died4191 with hailstones68 1259 than they whom834 the children1121 of Israel3478 slew2026 with the sword.2719
12 Then227 spoke1696 Joshua3091 to the LORD3068 in the day3117 when the LORD3068 delivered5414 up the Amorites567 before6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and he said559 in the sight5869 of Israel,3478 Sun,8121 stand1826 you still1826 on Gibeon;1391 and you, Moon,3394 in the valley6010 of Ajalon.357
13 And the sun8121 stood1826 still,1826 and the moon3394 stayed,5975 until5704 the people1471 had avenged5358 themselves on their enemies.341 Is not this1931 written3789 in the book5612 of Jasher?3477 So the sun8121 stood5975 still in the middle2677 of heaven,8064 and hurried213 not to go935 down about a whole8549 day.3117
14 And there was no3808 day3117 like that before6440 it or after310 it, that the LORD3068 listened8085 to the voice6963 of a man:376 for the LORD3068 fought3898 for Israel.3478
15 And Joshua3091 returned,7725 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, to the camp4264 to Gilgal.1537
16 But these428 five2568 kings4428 fled,5127 and hid2244 themselves in a cave4631 at Makkedah.4719
17 And it was told5046 Joshua,3091 saying,559 The five2568 kings4428 are found4672 hid2244 in a cave4631 at Makkedah.4719
18 And Joshua3091 said,559 Roll1556 great1419 stones68 on the mouth6310 of the cave,4631 and set6485 men582 by it for to keep8104 them:
19 And stay5975 you not, but pursue7291 after310 your enemies,341 and smite the hindmost2179 of them; suffer5414 them not to enter935 into413 their cities:5892 for the LORD3068 your God430 has delivered5414 them into your hand.3027
20 And it came1961 to pass, when Joshua3091 and the children1121 of Israel3478 had made an end3615 of slaying5221 them with a very3966 great1419 slaughter,4347 till5704 they were consumed,8552 that the rest8300 which remained8277 of them entered935 into413 fenced4013 cities.5892
21 And all3605 the people5971 returned7725 to the camp4264 to Joshua3091 at Makkedah4719 in peace:7965 none3808 moved2782 his tongue3956 against any of the children1121 of Israel.3478
22 Then said559 Joshua,3091 Open6605 the mouth6310 of the cave,4631 and bring3318 out those428 five2568 kings4428 to me out of the cave.4631
23 And they did6213 so,3651 and brought3318 forth3318 those428 five2568 kings4428 to him out of the cave,4631 the king4428 of Jerusalem,3389 the king4428 of Hebron,2275 the king4428 of Jarmuth, the king4428 of Lachish,3923 and the king4428 of Eglon.5700
24 And it came1961 to pass, when they brought3318 out those428 kings4428 to Joshua,3091 that Joshua3091 called7121 for all3605 the men376 of Israel,3478 and said559 to the captains7101 of the men of war4421 which went1980 with him, Come7126 near,7126 put7760 your feet7272 on the necks6677 of these428 kings.4428 And they came7126 near,7126 and put7760 their feet7272 on the necks6677 of them.
25 And Joshua3091 said559 to them, Fear3372 not, nor408 be dismayed,2865 be strong2388 and of good courage:553 for thus3602 shall the LORD3068 do6213 to all3605 your enemies341 against whom834 853 you fight.3898
26 And afterward310 3651 Joshua3091 smote5221 them, and slew4191 them, and hanged8518 them on5921 five2568 trees:6086 and they were hanging8518 on the trees6086 until5704 the evening.6153
27 And it came1961 to pass at the time6256 of the going935 down of the sun,8121 that Joshua3091 commanded,6680 and they took3381 them down3381 off5921 the trees,6086 and cast7993 them into413 the cave4631 wherein834 8033 they had been hid,2244 and laid7760 great1419 stones68 in the cave's4631 mouth,6310 which remain until5704 this2088 very6106 day.3117
28 And that day3117 Joshua3091 took3920 Makkedah,4719 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and the king4428 thereof he utterly destroyed,2763 them, and all3605 the souls5315 that were therein; he let none3808 remain:8300 and he did6213 to the king4428 of Makkedah4719 as he did6213 to the king4428 of Jericho.3405
29 Then Joshua3091 passed5674 from Makkedah,4719 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, to Libnah,3841 and fought3898 against5973 Libnah:3841
30 And the LORD3068 delivered5414 it also,1571 and the king4428 thereof, into the hand3027 of Israel;3478 and he smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and all3605 the souls5315 that were therein; he let none3808 remain8300 in it; but did6213 to the king4428 thereof as he did6213 to the king4428 of Jericho.3405
31 And Joshua3091 passed5674 from Libnah,3841 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, to Lachish,3923 and encamped2583 against5921 it, and fought3898 against it:
32 And the LORD3068 delivered5414 Lachish3923 into the hand3027 of Israel,3478 which took3920 it on the second8145 day,3117 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and all3605 the souls5315 that were therein, according to all3605 that he had done6213 to Libnah.3841
33 Then227 Horam2036 king4428 of Gezer1507 came5927 up to help5826 Lachish;3923 and Joshua3091 smote5221 him and his people,5971 until5704 he had left7604 him none1115 remaining.8300
34 And from Lachish3923 Joshua3091 passed5674 to Eglon,5700 and all3605 Israel3478 with him; and they encamped2583 against5921 it, and fought3898 against it:
35 And they took3920 it on that day,3117 and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and all3605 the souls5315 that were therein he utterly destroyed2763 that day,3117 according to all3605 that he had done6213 to Lachish.3923
36 And Joshua3091 went5927 up from Eglon,5700 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, to Hebron;2275 and they fought3898 against5921 it:
37 And they took3920 it, and smote5221 it with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and the king4428 thereof, and all3605 the cities5892 thereof, and all3605 the souls5315 that were therein; he left7604 none3808 remaining,8300 according to all3605 that he had done6213 to Eglon;5700 but destroyed2763 it utterly, and all3605 the souls5315 that were therein.
38 And Joshua3091 returned,7725 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, to Debir;1688 and fought3898 against5921 it:
39 And he took3920 it, and the king4428 thereof, and all3605 the cities5892 thereof; and they smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and utterly destroyed2763 all3605 the souls5315 that were therein; he left7604 none3808 remaining:8300 as he had done6213 to Hebron,2275 so3651 he did6213 to Debir,1688 and to the king4428 thereof; as he had done6213 also to Libnah,3841 and to her king.4428
40 So Joshua3091 smote5221 all3605 the country776 of the hills,2022 and of the south,5045 and of the vale,8219 and of the springs,794 and all3605 their kings:4428 he left7604 none3808 remaining,8300 but utterly destroyed2763 all3605 that breathed,5397 as the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 commanded.6680
41 And Joshua3091 smote5221 them from Kadeshbarnea6947 even to Gaza,5804 and all3605 the country776 of Goshen,1657 even to Gibeon.1391
42 And all3605 these428 kings4428 and their land776 did Joshua3091 take3920 at one259 time,6471 because3588 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 fought3898 for Israel.3478
43 And Joshua3091 returned,7725 and all3605 Israel3478 with him, to the camp4264 to Gilgal.1537
1 And it came1961 to pass, when Jabin2985 king4428 of Hazor2674 had heard8085 those things, that he sent7971 to Jobab3103 king4428 of Madon,4068 and to the king4428 of Shimron,8110 and to the king4428 of Achshaph,407
2 And to the kings4428 that were on the north6828 of the mountains,2022 and of the plains6160 south5045 of Chinneroth,3672 and in the valley,8219 and in the borders5299 of Dor1756 on the west,3220
3 And to the Canaanite3669 on the east4217 and on the west,3220 and to the Amorite,567 and the Hittite,2850 and the Perizzite,6522 and the Jebusite2983 in the mountains,2022 and to the Hivite2340 under8478 Hermon2768 in the land776 of Mizpeh.4709
4 And they went3318 out, they and all3605 their hosts4264 with them, much7227 people,5971 even as the sand2344 that is on the sea3220 shore8193 in multitude,7230 with horses5483 and chariots7393 very3966 many.7227
5 And when all3605 these428 kings4428 were met3259 together,3162 they came935 and pitched2583 together3162 at413 the waters4325 of Merom,4792 to fight3898 against5973 Israel.3478
6 And the LORD3068 said559 to Joshua,3091 Be not afraid3372 because6440 of them: for to morrow4279 about this2063 time6256 will I deliver5414 them up all3605 slain2491 before6440 Israel:3478 you shall hamstring6131 their horses,5483 and burn8313 their chariots4818 with fire.784
7 So Joshua3091 came,935 and all3605 the people5971 of war4421 with him, against5921 them by the waters4325 of Merom4792 suddenly;6597 and they fell5307 on them.
8 And the LORD3068 delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of Israel,3478 who smote5221 them, and chased7291 them to great7227 Zidon,6721 and to Misrephothmaim,4956 and to the valley1237 of Mizpeh4708 eastward;4217 and they smote5221 them, until5704 they left7604 them none1115 remaining.8300
9 And Joshua3091 did6213 to them as the LORD3068 bade559 him: he hamstrung6131 their horses,5483 and burnt8313 their chariots4818 with fire.784
10 And Joshua3091 at that time6256 turned7725 back,7725 and took3920 Hazor,2674 and smote5221 the king4428 thereof with the sword:2719 for Hazor2674 beforetime6440 was the head7218 of all3605 those428 kingdoms.4467
11 And they smote5221 all3605 the souls5315 that were therein with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 utterly destroying2763 them: there was not any3605 left3498 to breathe:5397 and he burnt8313 Hazor2674 with fire.784
12 And all3605 the cities5892 of those428 kings,4428 and all3605 the kings4428 of them, did Joshua3091 take,3920 and smote5221 them with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 and he utterly destroyed2763 them, as Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded.6680
13 But as for the cities5892 that stood5975 still in their strength,8510 Israel3478 burned8313 none3808 of them, save2108 Hazor2674 only;905 that did Joshua3091 burn.8313
14 And all3605 the spoil7998 of these428 cities,5892 and the cattle,929 the children1121 of Israel3478 took for a prey962 to themselves;1992 but every3605 man120 they smote5221 with the edge6310 of the sword,2719 until5704 they had destroyed8045 them, neither3808 left7604 they any3605 to breathe.5397
15 As the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses4872 his servant,5650 so3651 did Moses4872 command6680 Joshua,3091 and so3651 did6213 Joshua;3091 he left5493 nothing3808 1697 undone5493 of all3605 that the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses.4872
16 So Joshua3091 took3947 all3605 that land,776 the hills,2022 and all3605 the south5045 country, and all3605 the land776 of Goshen,1657 and the valley,8219 and the plain,6160 and the mountain2022 of Israel,3478 and the valley8219 of the same;
17 Even from the mount2022 Halak,2510 that goes5927 up to Seir,8165 even to Baalgad1171 in the valley1237 of Lebanon3844 under8478 mount2022 Hermon:2768 and all3605 their kings4428 he took,3920 and smote5221 them, and slew4191 them.
18 Joshua3091 made6213 war4421 a long7227 time3117 with all3605 those428 kings.4428
19 There was not a city5892 that made peace7999 with the children1121 of Israel,3478 save1115 the Hivites2340 the inhabitants3427 of Gibeon:1391 all3605 other they took3947 in battle.4421
20 For it was of the LORD3068 to harden2388 their hearts,3820 that they should come7122 against7125 Israel3478 in battle,4421 that he might destroy2763 them utterly, and that they might have1961 no1115 favor,8467 but that he might destroy8045 them, as the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses.4872
21 And at that time6256 came935 Joshua,3091 and cut3772 off the Anakims6062 from the mountains,2022 from Hebron,2275 from Debir,1688 from Anab,6024 and from all3605 the mountains2022 of Judah,3063 and from all3605 the mountains2022 of Israel:3478 Joshua3091 destroyed2763 them utterly with their cities.5892
22 There was none3808 of the Anakims6062 left3498 in the land776 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 only7535 in Gaza,5804 in Gath,1661 and in Ashdod,795 there remained.7604
23 So Joshua3091 took3947 the whole854 3605 land,776 according to all3605 that the LORD3068 said1696 to Moses;4872 and Joshua3091 gave5414 it for an inheritance5159 to Israel3478 according to their divisions4256 by their tribes.7626 And the land776 rested8252 from war.4421
1 Now these428 are the kings4428 of the land,776 which834 the children1121 of Israel3478 smote,5221 and possessed3423 their land776 on the other5676 side5676 Jordan3383 toward the rising4217 of the sun,8121 from the river5158 Arnon769 to mount2022 Hermon,2768 and all3605 the plain6160 on the east:4217
2 Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 who dwelled3427 in Heshbon,2809 and ruled4910 from Aroer,6177 which834 is on the bank8193 of the river5158 Arnon,769 and from the middle8432 of the river,5158 and from half2677 Gilead,1568 even to the river5158 Jabbok,2999 which is the border1366 of the children1121 of Ammon;5983
3 And from the plain6160 to the sea3220 of Chinneroth3672 on the east,4217 and to the sea3220 of the plain,6160 even the salt4417 sea3220 on the east,4217 the way1870 to Bethjeshimoth;1020 and from the south,8486 under8478 Ashdothpisgah:798
4 And the coast1366 of Og5747 king4428 of Bashan,1316 which was of the remnant3499 of the giants,7497 that dwelled3427 at Ashtaroth6252 and at Edrei,154
5 And reigned4910 in mount2022 Hermon,2768 and in Salcah,5548 and in all3605 Bashan,1316 to the border1366 of the Geshurites1651 and the Maachathites,4602 and half2677 Gilead,1568 the border1366 of Sihon5511 king4428 of Heshbon.2809
6 Them did Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 and the children1121 of Israel3478 smite:5221 and Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 gave5414 it for a possession3425 to the Reubenites,7206 and the Gadites,1425 and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh.4519
7 And these428 are the kings4428 of the country776 which834 Joshua3091 and the children1121 of Israel3478 smote5221 on this side5676 Jordan3383 on the west,3220 from Baalgad1171 in the valley1237 of Lebanon3844 even to the mount2022 Halak,2510 that goes5927 up to Seir;8165 which Joshua3091 gave5414 to the tribes7626 of Israel3478 for a possession3425 according to their divisions;4256
8 In the mountains,2022 and in the valleys,8219 and in the plains,6160 and in the springs,794 and in the wilderness,4057 and in the south5045 country; the Hittites,2850 the Amorites,567 and the Canaanites,3669 the Perizzites,6522 the Hivites,2340 and the Jebusites:2983
9 The king4428 of Jericho,3405 one;259 the king4428 of Ai,5857 which834 is beside6654 Bethel,1008 one;259
10 The king4428 of Jerusalem,3389 one;259 the king4428 of Hebron,2275 one;259
11 The king4428 of Jarmuth,3412 one;259 the king4428 of Lachish,3923 one;259
12 The king4428 of Eglon,5700 one;259 the king4428 of Gezer,1507 one;259
13 The king4428 of Debir,1688 one;259 the king4428 of Geder,1445 one;259
14 The king4428 of Hormah,2767 one;259 the king4428 of Arad,6166 one;259
15 The king4428 of Libnah,3841 one;259 the king4428 of Adullam,5725 one;259
16 The king4428 of Makkedah,4719 one;259 the king4428 of Bethel,1008 one;259
17 The king4428 of Tappuah,8599 one;259 the king4428 of Hepher,2660 one;259
18 The king4428 of Aphek,663 one;259 the king4428 of Lasharon,8289 one;259
19 The king4428 of Madon,4068 one;259 the king4428 of Hazor,2674 one;259
20 The king4428 of Shimronmeron,8112 one;259 the king4428 of Achshaph,407 one;259
21 The king4428 of Taanach,8590 one;259 the king4428 of Megiddo,4023 one;259
22 The king4428 of Kedesh,6943 one;259 the king4428 of Jokneam3362 of Carmel,3760 one;259
23 The king4428 of Dor1756 in the coast5299 of Dor,1756 one;259 the king4428 of the nations1471 of Gilgal,1537 one;259
24 The king4428 of Tirzah,8656 one:259 all3605 the kings4428 thirty7970 and one.259
1 Now Joshua3091 was old2204 and stricken935 in years;8141 and the LORD3068 said559 to him, You are old2204 and stricken935 in years,8141 and there remains7604 yet very3966 much7235 land776 to be possessed.3423
2 This2063 is the land776 that yet remains:7604 all3605 the borders1552 of the Philistines,6430 and all3605 Geshuri,1651
3 From Sihor,7883 which834 is before5921 6440 Egypt,4714 even to the borders1366 of Ekron6138 northward,6828 which is counted2803 to the Canaanite:3669 five2568 lords5633 of the Philistines;6430 the Gazathites,5841 and the Ashdothites,796 the Eshkalonites,832 the Gittites,1663 and the Ekronites;6139 also the Avites:5757
4 From the south,8486 all3605 the land776 of the Canaanites,3669 and Mearah4632 that is beside the Sidonians6722 to Aphek,663 to the borders1366 of the Amorites:567
5 And the land776 of the Giblites,1382 and all3605 Lebanon,3844 toward the sun rise,4217 8121 from Baalgad1171 under8478 mount2022 Hermon2768 to the entering935 into Hamath.2574
6 All3605 the inhabitants3427 of the hill2022 country from Lebanon3844 to Misrephothmaim,4956 and all3605 the Sidonians,6722 them will I drive3423 out from before6440 the children1121 of Israel:3478 only7535 divide5307 you it by lot to the Israelites3478 for an inheritance,5159 as I have commanded6680 you.
7 Now6258 therefore divide2505 this2063 land776 for an inheritance5159 to the nine8672 tribes,7626 and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519
8 With whom5973 the Reubenites7206 and the Gadites1425 have received3947 their inheritance,5159 which834 Moses4872 gave5414 them, beyond5676 Jordan3383 eastward,4217 even as Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 gave5414 them;
9 From Aroer,6177 that is on the bank8193 of the river5158 Arnon,769 and the city5892 that is in the middle8432 of the river,5158 and all3605 the plain4334 of Medeba4311 to Dibon;1769
10 And all3605 the cities5892 of Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 reigned4427 in Heshbon,2809 to the border1366 of the children1121 of Ammon;5983
11 And Gilead,1568 and the border1366 of the Geshurites1651 and Maachathites,4602 and all3605 mount2022 Hermon,2768 and all3605 Bashan1316 to Salcah;5548
12 All3605 the kingdom4468 of Og5747 in Bashan,1316 which834 reigned4427 in Ashtaroth6252 and in Edrei,154 who1931 remained7604 of the remnant3499 of the giants:7497 for these did Moses4872 smite,5221 and cast3423 them out.
13 Nevertheless the children1121 of Israel3478 expelled3423 not the Geshurites,1651 nor408 the Maachathites:4602 but the Geshurites1651 and the Maachathites4602 dwell3427 among7130 the Israelites3478 until5704 this2088 day.3117
14 Only7535 to the tribes7626 of Levi3878 he gave5414 none3808 inheritance;5159 the sacrifices of the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 made by fire are their inheritance,5159 as he said1696 to them.
15 And Moses4872 gave5414 to the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Reuben7205 inheritance according to their families.4940
16 And their coast1366 was from Aroer,6177 that is on5921 the bank8193 of the river5158 Arnon,769 and the city5892 that is in the middle8432 of the river,5158 and all3605 the plain4334 by Medeba;4311
17 Heshbon,2809 and all3605 her cities5892 that are in the plain;4334 Dibon,1769 and Bamothbaal,1120 and Bethbaalmeon,1010
18 And Jahaza,3096 and Kedemoth,6932 and Mephaath,4158
19 And Kirjathaim,7156 and Sibmah,7643 and Zarethshahar6890 in the mount2022 of the valley,6010
20 And Bethpeor,1047 and Ashdothpisgah,798 6449 and Bethjeshimoth,1020
21 And all3605 the cities5892 of the plain,4334 and all3605 the kingdom4468 of Sihon5511 king4428 of the Amorites,567 which834 reigned4427 in Heshbon,2809 whom834 Moses4872 smote5221 with the princes5387 of Midian,4080 Evi,189 and Rekem,7552 and Zur,6698 and Hur,2354 and Reba,7254 which were dukes5257 of Sihon,5511 dwelling3427 in the country.776
22 Balaam1109 also the son1121 of Beor,1160 the soothsayer,7080 did the children1121 of Israel3478 slay2026 with the sword2719 among413 them that were slain2491 by them.
23 And the border1366 of the children1121 of Reuben7205 was Jordan,3383 and the border1366 thereof. This2063 was the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Reuben7205 after their families,4940 the cities5892 and the villages2691 thereof.
24 And Moses4872 gave5414 inheritance to the tribe4294 of Gad,1410 even to the children1121 of Gad1410 according to their families.4940
25 And their coast1366 was Jazer,3270 and all3605 the cities5892 of Gilead,1568 and half2677 the land776 of the children1121 of Ammon,5983 to Aroer6177 that is before5921 6440 Rabbah;7237
26 And from Heshbon2809 to Ramathmizpeh,7434 and Betonim;993 and from Mahanaim4266 to the border1366 of Debir;1688
27 And in the valley,6010 Betharam,1027 and Bethnimrah,1039 and Succoth,5523 and Zaphon,6829 the rest3499 of the kingdom4468 of Sihon5511 king4428 of Heshbon,2809 Jordan3383 and his border,1366 even to the edge7097 of the sea3220 of Chinnereth3672 on the other5676 side5676 Jordan3383 eastward.4217
28 This2063 is the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Gad1410 after their families,4940 the cities,5892 and their villages.2691
29 And Moses4872 gave5414 inheritance to the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh:4519 and this was the possession of the half2677 tribe4294 of the children1121 of Manasseh4519 by their families.4940
30 And their coast1366 was from Mahanaim,4266 all3605 Bashan,1316 all3605 the kingdom4468 of Og5747 king4428 of Bashan,1316 and all3605 the towns2333 of Jair,2971 which834 are in Bashan,1316 three score8346 cities:5892
31 And half2677 Gilead,1568 and Ashtaroth,6252 and Edrei,154 cities5892 of the kingdom4468 of Og5747 in Bashan,1316 were pertaining to the children1121 of Machir4353 the son1121 of Manasseh,4519 even to the one half2677 of the children1121 of Machir4353 by their families.4940
32 These428 are the countries which834 Moses4872 did distribute5157 for inheritance5157 in the plains6160 of Moab,4124 on the other5676 side5676 Jordan,3383 by Jericho,3405 eastward.4217
33 But to the tribe7626 of Levi3878 Moses4872 gave5414 not any3605 inheritance:5159 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 was their inheritance,5159 as he said1696 to them.
1 And these428 are the countries which834 the children1121 of Israel3478 inherited5157 in the land776 of Canaan,3667 which Eleazar499 the priest,3548 and Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and the heads7218 of the fathers1 of the tribes4294 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 distributed5157 for inheritance5157 to them.
2 By lot1486 was their inheritance,5159 as the LORD3068 commanded6680 by the hand3027 of Moses,4872 for the nine8672 tribes,4294 and for the half2677 tribe.4294
3 For Moses4872 had given5414 the inheritance5159 of two8147 tribes4294 and an half2677 tribe4294 on the other5676 side5676 Jordan:3383 but to the Levites3881 he gave5414 none3808 inheritance5159 among8432 them.
4 For the children1121 of Joseph3130 were two8147 tribes,4294 Manasseh4519 and Ephraim:669 therefore they gave5414 no3808 part2506 to the Levites3881 in the land,776 save3588 518 cities5892 to dwell3427 in, with their suburbs4054 for their cattle4735 and for their substance.7075
5 As the LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses,4872 so3651 the children1121 of Israel3478 did,6213 and they divided2505 the land.776
6 Then the children1121 of Judah3063 came5066 to Joshua3091 in Gilgal:1537 and Caleb3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312 the Kenezite7074 said559 to him, You know3045 the thing1697 that the LORD3068 said1696 to Moses4872 the man376 of God430 concerning5921 182 me and you in Kadeshbarnea.6947
7 Forty705 years8141 old1121 was I when Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 sent7971 me from Kadeshbarnea6947 to espy7270 out the land;776 and I brought7725 him word1697 again7725 as it was in my heart.3824
8 Nevertheless my brothers251 that went5927 up with me made the heart3820 of the people5971 melt:4529 but I wholly4390 followed310 the LORD3068 my God.430
9 And Moses4872 swore7650 on that day,3117 saying,559 Surely518 the land776 where on834 your feet7272 have trodden1869 shall be your inheritance,5159 and your children's1121 for ever,5769 because3588 you have wholly4390 followed310 the LORD3068 my God.430
10 And now,6258 behold,2009 the LORD3068 has kept me alive,2421 as he said,1696 these2088 forty705 and five2568 years,8141 even since227 the LORD3068 spoke1696 this2088 word1697 to Moses,4872 while834 the children of Israel3478 wandered1980 in the wilderness:4057 and now,6258 see,2009 I am this day3117 fourscore8084 and five2568 years8141 old.1121
11 As yet5750 I am as strong2389 this day3117 as I was in the day3117 that Moses4872 sent7971 me: as my strength3581 was then,227 even so is my strength3581 now,6258 for war,4421 both to go3318 out, and to come935 in.
12 Now6258 therefore give5414 me this2088 mountain,2022 whereof834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 in that day;3117 for you heard8085 in that day3117 how3588 the Anakims6062 were there,8033 and that the cities5892 were great1419 and fenced:1219 if194 so be the LORD3068 will be with me, then I shall be able to drive3423 them out, as the LORD3068 said.1696
13 And Joshua3091 blessed1288 him, and gave5414 to Caleb3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312 Hebron2275 for an inheritance.5159
14 Hebron2275 therefore became1961 the inheritance5159 of Caleb3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312 the Kenezite7074 to this2088 day,3117 because3282 that he wholly4390 followed310 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478
15 And the name8034 of Hebron2275 before6440 was Kirjatharba;7153 which Arba was a great1419 man120 among the Anakims.6062 And the land776 had rest8252 from war.4421
1 This then was the lot1486 of the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Judah3063 by their families;4940 even to the border1366 of Edom123 the wilderness4057 of Zin6790 southward8486 was the uttermost7097 part of the south5045 coast.1366
2 And their south5045 border1366 was from the shore7097 of the salt4417 sea,3220 from the bay3956 that looks6437 southward:5045
3 And it went3318 out to the south5045 side to Maalehacrabbim,4610 and passed5674 along to Zin,6790 and ascended5927 up on the south5045 side to Kadeshbarnea,6947 and passed5674 along to Hezron,2696 and went5927 up to Adar,146 and fetched a compass5437 to Karkaa:7173
4 From there it passed5674 toward Azmon,6111 and went3318 out to the river5158 of Egypt;4714 and the goings8444 out of that coast1366 were at the sea:3220 this2088 shall be your south5045 coast.1366
5 And the east6924 border1366 was the salt4417 sea,3220 even to the end7097 of Jordan.3383 And their border1366 in the north6828 quarter6285 was from the bay3956 of the sea3220 at5704 the uttermost7097 part of Jordan:3383
6 And the border1366 went5927 up to Bethhogla,1031 and passed5674 along by the north6828 of Betharabah;1026 and the border1366 went5927 up to the stone68 of Bohan932 the son1121 of Reuben:7205
7 And the border1366 went5927 up toward Debir1688 from the valley6010 of Achor,5911 and so northward,6828 looking6437 toward413 Gilgal,1537 that is before5227 the going4608 up to Adummim,131 which834 is on the south5045 side of the river:5158 and the border1366 passed5674 toward413 the waters4325 of Enshemesh,5885 and the goings8444 out thereof were at413 Enrogel:5883
8 And the border1366 went5927 up by the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom2011 to the south5045 side3802 of the Jebusite;2983 the same1931 is Jerusalem:3389 and the border1366 went5927 up to the top7218 of the mountain2022 that lies before5921 6440 the valley1516 of Hinnom2011 westward,3220 which834 is at the end7097 of the valley6010 of the giants7497 northward:6828
9 And the border1366 was drawn8388 from the top7218 of the hill2022 to the fountain4599 of the water4325 of Nephtoah,5318 and went3318 out to the cities5892 of mount2022 Ephron;6085 and the border1366 was drawn8388 to Baalah,1173 which1958 is Kirjathjearim:7157
10 And the border1366 compassed5437 from Baalah1173 westward3220 to mount2022 Seir,8165 and passed5674 along to the side3802 of mount2022 Jearim,3297 which834 is Chesalon,3693 on the north6828 side, and went3381 down3381 to Bethshemesh,1053 and passed5674 on to Timnah:8553
11 And the border1366 went3318 out to the side3802 of Ekron6138 northward:6828 and the border1366 was drawn8388 to Shicron,7942 and passed5674 along to mount2022 Baalah,1173 and went3318 out to Jabneel;2995 and the goings8444 out of the border1366 were at the sea.3220
12 And the west3220 border1366 was to the great1419 sea,3220 and the coast1366 thereof. This2088 is the coast1366 of the children1121 of Judah3063 round5439 about according to their families.4940
13 And to Caleb3612 the son1121 of Jephunneh3312 he gave5414 a part2506 among8432 the children1121 of Judah,3063 according413 to the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 to Joshua,3091 even the city7151 of Arba704 the father1 of Anak,6061 which1958 city is Hebron.2275
14 And Caleb3612 drove3423 there8033 the three7969 sons1121 of Anak,6061 Sheshai,8344 and Ahiman,289 and Talmai,8526 the children3211 of Anak.6061
15 And he went5927 up there8033 to the inhabitants3427 of Debir:1688 and the name8034 of Debir1688 before6440 was Kirjathsepher.7158
16 And Caleb3612 said,559 He that smites5221 Kirjathsepher,7158 and takes3920 it, to him will I give5414 Achsah5915 my daughter1323 to wife.802
17 And Othniel6274 the son1121 of Kenaz,7073 the brother251 of Caleb,3612 took3920 it: and he gave5414 him Achsah5915 his daughter1323 to wife.802
18 And it came1961 to pass, as she came935 to him, that she moved5496 him to ask7592 of her father1 a field:7704 and she lighted6795 off5921 her ass;2543 and Caleb3612 said559 to her, What4100 would you?
19 Who answered,559 Give5414 me a blessing;1293 for you have given5414 me a south5045 land;776 give5414 me also springs1543 of water.4325 And he gave5414 her the upper5942 springs,1543 and the nether8482 springs.1543
20 This2063 is the inheritance5159 of the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Judah3063 according to their families.4940
21 And the uttermost7097 cities5892 of the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Judah3063 toward413 the coast1366 of Edom123 southward5045 were Kabzeel,6909 and Eder,5740 and Jagur,3017

62 And Nibshan,5044 and the city5892 of Salt,5898 and Engedi;5872 six8337 cities5892 with their villages.2691
63 As for the Jebusites2983 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 the children1121 of Judah3063 could3201 not drive3423 them out; but the Jebusites2983 dwell3427 with the children1121 of Judah3063 at Jerusalem3389 to this2088 day.3117
1 And the lot1486 of the children1121 of Joseph3130 fell3318 from Jordan3383 by Jericho,3405 to the water4325 of Jericho3405 on the east,4217 to the wilderness4057 that goes5927 up from Jericho3405 throughout mount2022 Bethel,1008
2 And goes3318 out from Bethel1008 to Luz,3870 and passes5674 along to the borders1366 of Archi757 to Ataroth,5852
3 And goes3381 down3381 westward3220 to the coast1366 of Japhleti,3311 to the coast1366 of Bethhoron1032 the nether,8481 and to Gezer;1507 and the goings8444 out thereof are at the sea.3220
4 So the children1121 of Joseph,3130 Manasseh4519 and Ephraim,669 took their inheritance.5157
5 And the border1366 of the children1121 of Ephraim669 according to their families4940 was thus: even the border1366 of their inheritance5159 on the east4217 side was Atarothaddar,5853 to Bethhoron1032 the upper;5945
6 And the border1366 went3318 out toward the sea3220 to Michmethah4366 on the north6828 side; and the border1366 went5437 about5437 eastward4217 to Taanathshiloh,8387 and passed5674 by it on the east4217 to Janohah;3239
7 And it went3381 down3381 from Janohah3239 to Ataroth,5852 and to Naarath,5292 and came6293 to Jericho,3405 and went3318 out at Jordan.3383
8 The border1366 went3212 out from Tappuah8599 westward3220 to the river5158 Kanah;7071 and the goings8444 out thereof were at the sea.3220 This2063 is the inheritance5159 of the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Ephraim669 by their families.4940
9 And the separate3995 cities5892 for the children1121 of Ephraim669 were among8432 the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Manasseh,4519 all3605 the cities5892 with their villages.2691
10 And they drove3423 not out the Canaanites3669 that dwelled3427 in Gezer:1507 but the Canaanites3669 dwell3427 among7130 the Ephraimites669 to this2088 day,3117 and serve5647 under tribute.4522
1 There was also a lot1486 for the tribe4294 of Manasseh;4519 for he was the firstborn1060 of Joseph;3130 to wit, for Machir4353 the firstborn1060 of Manasseh,4519 the father1 of Gilead:1568 because3588 he was a man376 of war,4421 therefore he had1961 Gilead1568 and Bashan.1316
2 There was also a lot for the rest3498 of the children1121 of Manasseh4519 by their families;4940 for the children1121 of Abiezer,44 and for the children1121 of Helek,2507 and for the children1121 of Asriel,844 and for the children1121 of Shechem,7928 and for the children1121 of Hepher,2660 and for the children1121 of Shemida:8061 these428 were the male2145 children1121 of Manasseh4519 the son1121 of Joseph3130 by their families.4940
3 But Zelophehad,6765 the son1121 of Hepher,2660 the son1121 of Gilead,1568 the son1121 of Machir,4353 the son1121 of Manasseh,4519 had1961 no3808 sons,1121 but daughters:1323 and these428 are the names8034 of his daughters,1323 Mahlah,4244 and Noah,5270 Hoglah,2295 Milcah,4435 and Tirzah.8656
4 And they came7126 near7126 before6440 Eleazar499 the priest,3548 and before6440 Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and before6440 the princes,5387 saying,559 The LORD3068 commanded6680 Moses4872 to give5414 us an inheritance5159 among8432 our brothers.251 Therefore according413 to the commandment6310 of the LORD3068 he gave5414 them an inheritance5159 among8432 the brothers251 of their father.1
5 And there fell5307 ten6235 portions2256 to Manasseh,4519 beside905 the land776 of Gilead1568 and Bashan,1316 which834 were on the other5676 side5676 Jordan;3383
6 Because3588 the daughters1323 of Manasseh4519 had an inheritance5157 among8432 his sons:1121 and the rest3498 of Manasseh's4519 sons1121 had1961 the land776 of Gilead.1568
7 And the coast1366 of Manasseh4519 was from Asher836 to Michmethah,4366 that lies before5921 6440 Shechem;7927 and the border1366 went1980 along on413 the right3225 hand3225 to the inhabitants3427 of Entappuah.5887
8 Now Manasseh4519 had1961 the land776 of Tappuah:8599 but Tappuah8599 on413 the border1366 of Manasseh4519 belonged to the children1121 of Ephraim;669
9 And the coast1366 descended3381 to the river5158 Kanah,7071 southward5045 of the river:5158 these428 cities5892 of Ephraim669 are among8432 the cities5892 of Manasseh:4519 the coast1366 of Manasseh4519 also was on the north6828 side of the river,5158 and the outgoings8444 of it were at the sea:3220
10 Southward5045 it was Ephraim's,669 and northward6828 it was Manasseh's,4519 and the sea3220 is his border;1366 and they met6293 together in Asher836 on the north,6828 and in Issachar3485 on the east.4217
11 And Manasseh4519 had1961 in Issachar3485 and in Asher836 Bethshean1052 and her towns,1323 and Ibleam2991 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Dor1756 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Endor5874 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Taanach8590 and her towns,1323 and the inhabitants3427 of Megiddo4023 and her towns,1323 even three7969 countries.5316
12 Yet the children1121 of Manasseh4519 could3201 not drive3423 out the inhabitants of those428 cities;5892 but the Canaanites3669 would2974 dwell3427 in that land.776
13 Yet it came1961 to pass, when3588 the children1121 of Israel3478 were waxen strong,2388 that they put5414 the Canaanites3669 to tribute,4522 but did not utterly drive3423 them out.
14 And the children1121 of Joseph3130 spoke1696 to Joshua,3091 saying,559 Why4069 have you given5414 me but one259 lot1486 and one259 portion2256 to inherit,5159 seeing I am a great7227 people,5971 for as much5704 as the LORD3068 has blessed1288 me till now?5704
15 And Joshua3091 answered559 them, If518 you be a great7227 people,5971 then get5927 you up to the wood3293 country, and cut1254 down for yourself there8033 in the land776 of the Perizzites6522 and of the giants,7497 if3588 mount2022 Ephraim669 be too narrow213 for you.
16 And the children1121 of Joseph3130 said,559 The hill2022 is not enough4672 for us: and all3605 the Canaanites3669 that dwell3427 in the land776 of the valley6010 have chariots7393 of iron,1270 both they who834 are of Bethshean1052 and her towns,1323 and they who834 are of the valley6010 of Jezreel.3157
17 And Joshua3091 spoke559 to the house1004 of Joseph,3130 even to Ephraim669 and to Manasseh,4519 saying,559 You are a great7227 people,5971 and have great1419 power:3581 you shall not have1961 one259 lot1486 only:
18 But the mountain2022 shall be yours; for it is a wood,3293 and you shall cut1254 it down: and the outgoings8444 of it shall be yours: for you shall drive3423 out the Canaanites,3669 though3588 they have iron1270 chariots,7393 and though3588 they be strong.2389
1 And the whole3605 congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel3478 assembled6950 together at Shiloh,7887 and set7931 up the tabernacle168 of the congregation4150 there.8033 And the land776 was subdued3533 before6440 them.
2 And there remained3498 among the children1121 of Israel3478 seven7651 tribes,7626 which834 had not yet received2505 their inheritance.5159
3 And Joshua3091 said559 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 How5704 long5704 are you slack7503 to go935 to possess3423 the land,776 which834 the LORD3068 God430 of your fathers1 has given5414 you?
4 Give3051 out from among you three7969 men582 for each tribe:7626 and I will send7971 them, and they shall rise,6965 and go1980 through the land,776 and describe3789 it according6310 to the inheritance5159 of them; and they shall come935 again to me.
5 And they shall divide2505 it into seven7651 parts:2506 Judah3063 shall abide5975 in their coast1366 on the south,5045 and the house1004 of Joseph3130 shall abide5975 in their coasts1366 on the north.6828
6 You shall therefore describe3789 the land776 into seven7651 parts,2506 and bring935 the description here to me, that I may cast3384 lots1486 for you here6311 before6440 the LORD3068 our God.430
7 But the Levites3881 have no3808 part2506 among7130 you; for the priesthood3550 of the LORD3068 is their inheritance:5159 and Gad,1410 and Reuben,7205 and half2677 the tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519 have received3947 their inheritance5159 beyond5676 Jordan3383 on the east,4217 which834 Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 gave5414 them.
8 And the men582 arose,6965 and went3212 away: and Joshua3091 charged6680 them that went1980 to describe3789 the land,776 saying,559 Go3212 and walk1980 through the land,776 and describe3789 it, and come7725 again7725 to me, that I may here6311 cast7993 lots1486 for you before6440 the LORD3068 in Shiloh.7887
9 And the men582 went3212 and passed5674 through the land,776 and described3789 it by cities5892 into seven7651 parts2506 in a book,5612 and came935 again to Joshua3091 to the host4264 at Shiloh.7887
10 And Joshua3091 cast7993 lots1486 for them in Shiloh7887 before6440 the LORD:3068 and there8033 Joshua3091 divided2505 the land776 to the children1121 of Israel3478 according to their divisions.4256
11 And the lot1486 of the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Benjamin1144 came5927 up according to their families:4940 and the coast1366 of their lot1486 came3318 forth3318 between996 the children1121 of Judah3063 and the children1121 of Joseph.3130
12 And their border1366 on the north6828 side6285 was from Jordan;3383 and the border1366 went5927 up to the side3802 of Jericho3405 on the north6828 side, and went5927 up through the mountains2022 westward;3220 and the goings8444 out thereof were at the wilderness4057 of Bethaven.1007
13 And the border1366 went5674 over5674 from there8033 toward Luz,3870 to the side3802 of Luz,3870 which1958 is Bethel,1008 southward;5045 and the border1366 descended3381 to Atarothadar,5853 near5921 the hill2022 that lies on the south5045 side of the nether8481 Bethhoron.1032

15 And the south5045 quarter6285 was from the end7097 of Kirjathjearim,7157 and the border1366 went3318 out on the west,3220 and went3318 out to the well4599 of waters4325 of Nephtoah:5318
16 And the border1366 came3381 down3381 to the end7097 of the mountain2022 that lies before5921 6440 the valley1516 of the son1121 of Hinnom,2011 and which834 is in the valley6010 of the giants7497 on the north,6828 and descended3381 to the valley1516 of Hinnom,2011 to the side3802 of Jebusi2983 on the south,5045 and descended3381 to Enrogel,5883

20 And Jordan3383 was the border1379 of it on the east6924 side.6285 This2063 was the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Benjamin,1144 by the coasts1367 thereof round5439 about, according to their families.4940
21 Now the cities5892 of the tribe4294 of the children1121 of Benjamin1144 according to their families4940 were Jericho,3405 and Bethhoglah,1031 and the valley6010 of Keziz,7104

1 The LORD3068 also spoke1696 to Joshua,3091 saying,559
2 Speak1696 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Appoint5414 out for you cities5892 of refuge,4733 whereof834 I spoke1696 to you by the hand3027 of Moses:4872
3 That the slayer7523 that kills5221 any person5315 unawares7684 and unwittingly1097 1847 may flee5127 thither:8033 and they shall be your refuge4733 from the avenger1350 of blood.1818
4 And when he that does flee5127 to one259 of those428 cities5892 shall stand5975 at the entering6607 of the gate8179 of the city,5892 and shall declare1696 his cause1697 in the ears241 of the elders2205 of that city,5892 they shall take622 him into the city5892 to them, and give5414 him a place,4725 that he may dwell3427 among5973 them.
5 And if3588 the avenger1350 of blood1818 pursue7291 after310 him, then they shall not deliver5462 the slayer7523 up into his hand;3027 because3588 he smote5221 his neighbor7453 unwittingly,1097 1847 and hated8130 him not beforetime.8543 8032
6 And he shall dwell3427 in that city,5892 until5704 he stand5975 before6440 the congregation5712 for judgment,4941 and until5704 the death4194 of the high1419 priest3548 that shall be in those1992 days:3117 then227 shall the slayer7523 return,7725 and come935 to his own city,5892 and to his own house,1004 to the city5892 from from where834 8033 he fled.5127

9 These428 were the cities5892 appointed4152 for all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and for the stranger1616 that sojournes1481 among8432 them, that whoever3605 kills5221 any person5315 at unawares7684 might flee5127 thither,8033 and not die4191 by the hand3027 of the avenger1350 of blood,1818 until5704 he stood5975 before6440 the congregation.5712
1 Then came5066 near5066 the heads7218 of the fathers1 of the Levites3881 to Eleazar499 the priest,3548 and to Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and to the heads7218 of the fathers1 of the tribes4294 of the children1121 of Israel;3478

3 And the children1121 of Israel3478 gave5414 to the Levites3881 out of their inheritance,5159 at413 the commandment6310 of the LORD,3068 these428 cities5892 and their suburbs.4054

10 Which the children1121 of Aaron,175 being of the families4940 of the Kohathites,6956 who were of the children1121 of Levi,3878 had:1961 for theirs1992 was the first7223 lot.1486

19 All3605 the cities5892 of the children1121 of Aaron,175 the priests,3548 were thirteen7969 6240 cities5892 with their suburbs.4054
20 And the families4940 of the children1121 of Kohath,6955 the Levites3881 which remained3498 of the children1121 of Kohath,6955 even they had1961 the cities5892 of their lot1486 out of the tribe4294 of Ephraim.669
21 For they gave5414 them Shechem7927 with her suburbs4054 in mount2022 Ephraim,669 to be a city5892 of refuge4733 for the slayer;7523 and Gezer1507 with her suburbs,4054

26 All3605 the cities5892 were ten6235 with their suburbs4054 for the families4940 of the children1121 of Kohath6955 that remained.3498
27 And to the children1121 of Gershon,1647 of the families4940 of the Levites,3881 out of the other half2677 tribe4294 of Manasseh4519 they gave Golan1474 in Bashan1316 with her suburbs,4054 to be a city5892 of refuge4733 for the slayer;7523 and Beeshterah1203 with her suburbs;4054 two8147 cities.5892
28 And out of the tribe4294 of Issachar,3485 Kishon7191 with her suburbs,4054 Dabareh1705 with her suburbs,4054
29 Jarmuth3412 with her suburbs,4054 Engannim5873 with her suburbs;4054 four702 cities.5892
30 And out of the tribe4294 of Asher,836 Mishal4861 with her suburbs,4054 Abdon5658 with her suburbs,4054

32 And out of the tribe4294 of Naphtali,5321 Kedesh6943 in Galilee1551 with her suburbs,4054 to be a city5892 of refuge4733 for the slayer;7523 and Hammothdor2576 with her suburbs,4054 and Kartan7178 with her suburbs;4054 three7969 cities.5892
33 All3605 the cities5892 of the Gershonites1649 according to their families4940 were thirteen7969 6240 cities5892 with their suburbs.4054
34 And to the families4940 of the children1121 of Merari,4847 the rest3498 of the Levites,3881 out of the tribe4294 of Zebulun,2074 Jokneam3362 with her suburbs,4054 and Kartah7177 with her suburbs,4054
35 Dimnah1829 with her suburbs,4054 Nahalal5096 with her suburbs;4054 four702 cities.5892
36 And out of the tribe of Reuben,7205 Bezer1221 with her suburbs,4054 and Jahazah3096 with her suburbs,4054

39 Heshbon2809 with her suburbs,4054 Jazer3270 with her suburbs;4054 four702 cities5892 in all.3605
40 So all3605 the cities5892 for the children1121 of Merari4847 by their families,4940 which were remaining3498 of the families4940 of the Levites,3881 were by their lot1486 twelve8147 6240 cities.5892
41 All3605 the cities5892 of the Levites3881 within8432 the possession272 of the children1121 of Israel3478 were forty705 and eight8083 cities5892 with their suburbs.4054
42 These428 cities5892 were every one with their suburbs4054 round5439 about them: thus3651 were all3605 these428 cities.5892
43 And the LORD3068 gave5414 to Israel3478 all3605 the land776 which834 he swore7650 to give5414 to their fathers;1 and they possessed3423 it, and dwelled3427 therein.
44 And the LORD3068 gave them rest5117 round5439 about, according to all3605 that he swore7650 to their fathers:1 and there stood5975 not a man376 of all3605 their enemies341 before6440 them; the LORD3068 delivered5414 all3605 their enemies341 into their hand.3027
45 There failed5307 not ought1697 of any3605 good2896 thing1697 which834 the LORD3068 had spoken1696 to the house1004 of Israel;3478 all3605 came935 to pass.935
1 Then227 Joshua3091 called7121 the Reubenites,7206 and the Gadites,1425 and the half2677 tribe4294 of Manasseh,4519
2 And said559 to them, You have kept8104 all3605 that Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 commanded6680 you, and have obeyed8085 my voice6963 in all3605 that I commanded6680 you:
3 You have not left5800 your brothers251 these428 many7227 days3117 to this2088 day,3117 but have kept8104 the charge4931 of the commandment4687 of the LORD3068 your God.430
4 And now6258 the LORD3068 your God430 has given rest5117 to your brothers,251 as he promised1696 them: therefore now6258 return6437 you, and get3212 you to your tents,168 and to the land776 of your possession,272 which834 Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 gave5414 you on the other5676 side5676 Jordan.3383
5 But take diligent3966 heed8104 to do6213 the commandment4687 and the law,8451 which834 Moses4872 the servant5650 of the LORD3068 charged6680 you, to love157 the LORD3068 your God,430 and to walk3212 in all3605 his ways,1870 and to keep8104 his commandments,4687 and to hold1692 to him, and to serve5647 him with all3605 your heart3824 and with all3605 your soul.5315
6 So Joshua3091 blessed1288 them, and sent7971 them away: and they went3212 to their tents.168
7 Now to the one half2677 of the tribe7626 of Manasseh4519 Moses4872 had given5414 possession in Bashan:1316 but to the other half2677 thereof gave5414 Joshua3091 among5973 their brothers251 on this side5676 Jordan3383 westward.3220 And when3588 Joshua3091 sent7971 them away also1571 to their tents,168 then he blessed1288 them,
8 And he spoke559 to them, saying,559 Return7725 with much7227 riches5233 to your tents,168 and with very3966 much7227 cattle,4735 with silver,3701 and with gold,2091 and with brass,5178 and with iron,1270 and with very3966 much7235 raiment:8008 divide2505 the spoil7998 of your enemies341 with your brothers.251
9 And the children1121 of Reuben7205 and the children1121 of Gad1410 and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh4519 returned,7725 and departed3212 from the children1121 of Israel3478 out of Shiloh,7887 which834 is in the land776 of Canaan,3667 to go3212 to the country776 of Gilead,1568 to the land776 of their possession,272 whereof834 they were possessed,270 according5921 to the word6310 of the LORD3068 by the hand3027 of Moses.4872
10 And when they came935 to the borders1552 of Jordan,3383 that are in the land776 of Canaan,3667 the children1121 of Reuben7205 and the children1121 of Gad1410 and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh4519 built1129 there8033 an altar4196 by Jordan,3383 a great1419 altar4196 to see4758 to.
11 And the children1121 of Israel3478 heard8085 say,559 Behold,2009 the children1121 of Reuben7205 and the children1121 of Gad1410 and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh4519 have built1129 an altar4196 over413 4136 against4136 the land776 of Canaan,3667 in the borders1552 of Jordan,3383 at413 the passage5676 of the children1121 of Israel.3478
12 And when the children1121 of Israel3478 heard8085 of it, the whole3605 congregation5712 of the children1121 of Israel3478 gathered6950 themselves together at Shiloh,7887 to go5927 up to war6635 against5921 them.
13 And the children1121 of Israel3478 sent7971 to the children1121 of Reuben,7205 and to the children1121 of Gad,1410 and to the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519 into413 the land776 of Gilead,1568 Phinehas6372 the son1121 of Eleazar499 the priest,3548
14 And with him ten6235 princes,5387 of each259 chief1 house1004 a prince5387 throughout all3605 the tribes4294 of Israel;3478 and each one376 was an head7218 of the house1004 of their fathers1 among the thousands505 of Israel.3478
15 And they came935 to the children1121 of Reuben,7205 and to the children1121 of Gad,1410 and to the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519 to the land776 of Gilead,1568 and they spoke1696 with them, saying,559
16 Thus3541 said559 the whole3605 congregation5712 of the LORD,3068 What4100 trespass4604 is this2088 that you have committed4603 against the God430 of Israel,3478 to turn7725 away this day3117 from following310 the LORD,3068 in that you have built1129 you an altar,4196 that you might rebel4775 this day3117 against the LORD?3068
17 Is the iniquity5771 of Peor6465 too little4592 for us, from which834 we are not cleansed2891 until5704 this2088 day,3117 although there was a plague5063 in the congregation5712 of the LORD,3068
18 But that you must turn7725 away this day3117 from following310 the LORD?3068 and it will be, seeing you rebel4775 to day3117 against the LORD,3068 that to morrow4279 he will be wroth7107 with the whole3605 congregation5712 of Israel.3478
19 Notwithstanding,389 if518 the land776 of your possession272 be unclean,2931 then pass5674 you over5674 to the land776 of the possession272 of the LORD,3068 wherein834 8033 the LORD's3068 tabernacle4908 dwells,7931 and take270 possession270 among8432 us: but rebel4775 not against the LORD,3068 nor408 rebel4775 against us, in building1129 you an altar4196 beside1107 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 our God.430
20 Did not Achan5912 the son1121 of Zerah2226 commit4603 a trespass4604 in the accursed2764 thing, and wrath7110 fell1961 on5921 all3605 the congregation5712 of Israel?3478 and that man376 perished1478 not alone259 in his iniquity.5771
21 Then the children1121 of Reuben7205 and the children1121 of Gad1410 and the half2677 tribe7626 of Manasseh4519 answered,6030 and said1696 to the heads7218 of the thousands505 of Israel,3478
22 The LORD3068 God410 of gods,430 the LORD3068 God410 of gods,430 he knows,3045 and Israel3478 he shall know;3045 if518 it be in rebellion,4777 or if518 in transgression4604 against the LORD,3068 (save3467 us not this2088 day,3117)
23 That we have built1129 us an altar4196 to turn7725 from following310 the LORD,3068 or if518 to offer5927 thereon5921 burnt5930 offering 4503or meat offering, or if518 to offer6213 peace8002 offerings2077 thereon,5921 let the LORD3068 himself require1245 it;
24 And if518 we have not rather done6213 it for fear1674 of this2063 thing,1697 saying,559 In time4279 to come4279 your children1121 might speak559 to our children,1121 saying,559 What4100 have you to do with the LORD3068 God430 of Israel?3478
25 For the LORD3068 has made5414 Jordan3383 a border1366 between996 us and you, you children1121 of Reuben7205 and children1121 of Gad;1410 you have no369 part2506 in the LORD:3068 so shall your children1121 make our children1121 cease7673 from fearing3372 the LORD.3068
26 Therefore we said,559 Let us now4994 prepare6213 to build1129 us an altar,4196 not for burnt5930 offering, nor3808 for sacrifice:2077
27 But that it may be a witness5707 between996 us, and you, and our generations1755 after310 us, that we might do5647 the service5656 of the LORD3068 before6440 him with our burnt5930 offerings, and with our sacrifices,2077 and with our peace8002 offerings; that your children1121 may not say559 to our children1121 in time4279 to come,4279 You have no369 part2506 in the LORD.3068
28 Therefore said559 we, that it shall be, when3588 they should so say559 to us or to our generations1755 in time4279 to come,4279 that we may say559 again, Behold7200 the pattern8403 of the altar4196 of the LORD,3068 which834 our fathers1 made,6213 not for burnt5930 offerings, nor3808 for sacrifices;2077 but it is a witness5707 between996 us and you.
29 God forbid2486 that we should rebel4775 against the LORD,3068 and turn7725 this day3117 from following310 the LORD,3068 to build1129 an altar4196 for burnt5930 offerings,4503 for meat offerings, or for sacrifices,2077 beside905 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 our God430 that is before6440 his tabernacle.4908
30 And when Phinehas6372 the priest,3548 and the princes5387 of the congregation5712 and heads7218 of the thousands505 of Israel3478 which834 were with him, heard8085 the words1697 that the children1121 of Reuben7205 and the children1121 of Gad1410 and the children1121 of Manasseh4519 spoke,1696 it pleased3190 5869 them.
31 And Phinehas6372 the son1121 of Eleazar499 the priest3548 said559 to the children1121 of Reuben,7205 and to the children1121 of Gad,1410 and to the children1121 of Manasseh,4519 This day3117 we perceive3045 that the LORD3068 is among8432 us, because834 you have not committed4603 this2088 trespass4604 against the LORD:3068 now227 you have delivered5337 the children1121 of Israel3478 out of the hand3027 of the LORD.3068
32 And Phinehas6372 the son1121 of Eleazar499 the priest,3548 and the princes,5387 returned7725 from the children1121 of Reuben,7205 and from the children1121 of Gad,1410 out of the land776 of Gilead,1568 to the land776 of Canaan,3667 to the children1121 of Israel,3478 and brought7725 them word1697 again.7725
33 And the thing1697 pleased3190 5869 the children1121 of Israel;3478 and the children1121 of Israel3478 blessed1288 God,430 and did not intend559 to go5927 up against5921 them in battle,6635 to destroy7843 the land776 wherein834 the children1121 of Reuben7205 and Gad1410 dwelled.3427
34 And the children1121 of Reuben7205 and the children1121 of Gad1410 called7121 the altar4196 Ed:5707 for it shall be a witness5707 between996 us that the LORD3068 is God.430
1 And it came1961 to pass a long7227 time3117 after310 that the LORD3068 had given rest5117 to Israel3478 from all3605 their enemies341 round5439 about, that Joshua3091 waxed old2204 and stricken935 in age.3117
2 And Joshua3091 called7121 for all3605 Israel,3478 and for their elders,2205 and for their heads,7218 and for their judges,8199 and for their officers,7860 and said559 to them, I am old2204 and stricken935 in age:3117
3 And you have seen7200 all3605 that the LORD3068 your God430 has done6213 to all3605 these428 nations1471 because6440 of you; for the LORD3068 your God430 is he that has fought3898 for you.
4 Behold,7200 I have divided5307 to you by lot these428 nations1471 that remain,7604 to be an inheritance5159 for your tribes,7626 from Jordan,3383 with all3605 the nations1471 that I have cut3772 off, even to the great1419 sea3220 westward.3996 8121
5 And the LORD3068 your God,430 he shall expel1920 them from before6440 you, and drive3423 them from out of your sight;6440 and you shall possess3423 their land,776 as the LORD3068 your God430 has promised1696 to you.
6 Be you therefore very3966 courageous2388 to keep8104 and to do6213 all3605 that is written3789 in the book5612 of the law8451 of Moses,4872 that you turn5493 not aside therefrom to the right3225 hand3225 or to the left;8040
7 That you come935 not among these428 nations,1471 these428 that remain7604 among you; neither3808 make mention2142 of the name8034 of their gods,430 nor3808 cause to swear7650 by them, neither3808 serve5647 them, nor3808 bow7812 yourselves to them:
8 But hold1692 to the LORD3068 your God,430 as you have done6213 to this2088 day.3117
9 For the LORD3068 has driven3423 out from before6440 you great1419 nations1471 and strong:6099 but as for you, no3808 man376 has been able5975 to stand5975 before6440 you to this2088 day.3117
10 One259 man376 of you shall chase7291 a thousand:505 for the LORD3068 your God,430 he it is that fights3898 for you, as he has promised1696 you.
11 Take good3966 heed8104 therefore to yourselves,5315 that you love157 the LORD3068 your God.430
12 Else3588 if518 you do in any wise go7725 back,7725 and join1692 to the remnant3499 of these428 nations,1471 even these428 that remain7604 among854 you, and shall make marriages2859 with them, and go935 in to them, and they to you:
13 Know3045 for a certainty that the LORD3068 your God430 will no3808 more3254 drive3423 out any of these428 nations1471 from before6440 you; but they shall be snares6341 and traps4170 to you, and scourges7850 in your sides,6654 and thorns6796 in your eyes,5869 until5704 you perish6 from off5921 this2063 good2896 land127 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you.
14 And, behold,2009 this day3117 I am going1980 the way1870 of all3605 the earth:776 and you know3045 in all3605 your hearts3824 and in all3605 your souls,5315 that not one259 thing1697 has failed5307 of all3605 the good2896 things1697 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 spoke1696 concerning5921 you; all3605 are come935 to pass to you, and not one259 thing1697 has failed5307 thereof.
15 Therefore it shall come1961 to pass, that as all3605 good2896 things1697 are come935 on you, which834 the LORD3068 your God430 promised1696 you; so3651 shall the LORD3068 bring935 on you all3605 evil7451 things,1697 until5704 he have destroyed8045 you from off5921 this2063 good2896 land127 which834 the LORD3068 your God430 has given5414 you.
16 When you have transgressed5674 the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 your God,430 which834 he commanded6680 you, and have gone1980 and served5647 other312 gods,430 and bowed7812 yourselves to them; then shall the anger639 of the LORD3068 be kindled2734 against you, and you shall perish6 quickly4120 from off5921 the good2896 land776 which834 he has given5414 to you.
1 And Joshua3091 gathered622 all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to Shechem,7927 and called7121 for the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and for their heads,7218 and for their judges,8199 and for their officers;7860 and they presented3320 themselves before6440 God.430
2 And Joshua3091 said559 to all3605 the people,5971 Thus3541 said559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Your fathers1 dwelled3427 on the other5676 side5676 of the flood5104 in old5769 time,5769 even Terah,8646 the father1 of Abraham,85 and the father1 of Nachor:5152 and they served5647 other312 gods.430
3 And I took3947 your father1 Abraham85 from the other5676 side5676 of the flood,5104 and led3212 him throughout all3605 the land776 of Canaan,3667 and multiplied7235 his seed,2233 and gave5414 him Isaac.3327
4 And I gave5414 to Isaac3327 Jacob3290 and Esau:6215 and I gave5414 to Esau6215 mount2022 Seir,8165 to possess3423 it; but Jacob3290 and his children1121 went3381 down3381 into Egypt.4714
5 I sent7971 Moses4872 also and Aaron,175 and I plagued5062 Egypt,4714 according to that which834 I did6213 among7130 them: and afterward310 I brought3318 you out.
6 And I brought3318 your fathers1 out of Egypt:4714 and you came935 to the sea;3220 and the Egyptians4714 pursued7291 after310 your fathers1 with chariots7393 and horsemen6571 to the Red5488 sea.3220
7 And when they cried6817 to the LORD,3068 he put7760 darkness3990 between996 you and the Egyptians,4713 and brought935 the sea3220 on them, and covered3680 them; and your eyes5869 have seen7200 what853 834 I have done6213 in Egypt:4714 and you dwelled3427 in the wilderness4057 a long7227 season.3117
8 And I brought935 you into the land776 of the Amorites,567 which dwelled3427 on the other5676 side5676 Jordan;3383 and they fought3898 with you: and I gave5414 them into your hand,3027 that you might possess3423 their land;776 and I destroyed8045 them from before6440 you.
9 Then Balak1111 the son1121 of Zippor,6834 king4428 of Moab,4124 arose6965 and warred3898 against Israel,3478 and sent7971 and called7121 Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 to curse7043 you:
10 But I would14 not listen8085 to Balaam;1109 therefore he blessed1288 you still: so I delivered5337 you out of his hand.3027
11 And you went5674 over5674 Jordan,3383 and came935 to Jericho:3405 and the men1167 of Jericho3405 fought3898 against you, the Amorites,567 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Canaanites,3669 and the Hittites,2850 and the Girgashites,1622 the Hivites,2340 and the Jebusites;2983 and I delivered5414 them into your hand.3027
12 And I sent7971 the hornet6880 before6440 you, which drove1644 them out from before6440 you, even the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites;567 but not with your sword,2719 nor3808 with your bow.7198
13 And I have given5414 you a land776 for which834 you did not labor,3021 and cities5892 which834 you built1129 not, and you dwell3427 in them; of the vineyards3754 and olive groves2132 which834 you planted5193 not do you eat.398
14 Now6258 therefore fear3372 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 him in sincerity8549 and in truth:571 and put5493 away5493 the gods430 which834 your fathers1 served5647 on the other5676 side5676 of the flood,5104 and in Egypt;4714 and serve5647 you the LORD.3068
15 And if518 it seem1961 5869 evil7489 to you to serve5647 the LORD,3068 choose977 you this day3117 whom4310 you will serve;5647 whether518 the gods430 which834 your fathers1 served5647 that were on the other5676 side5676 of the flood,5104 or the gods430 of the Amorites,567 in whose834 land776 you dwell:3427 but as for me and my house,1004 we will serve5647 the LORD.3068
16 And the people5971 answered6030 and said,559 God forbid2486 that we should forsake5800 the LORD,3068 to serve5647 other312 gods;430
17 For the LORD3068 our God,430 he it is that brought5927 us up and our fathers1 out of the land776 of Egypt,4714 from the house1004 of bondage,5650 and which834 did6213 those428 great1419 signs226 in our sight,5869 and preserved8104 us in all3605 the way1870 wherein834 we went,1980 and among all3605 the people5971 through7130 whom834 we passed:5674
18 And the LORD3068 drove1644 out from before6440 us all3605 the people,5971 even the Amorites567 which dwelled3427 in the land:776 therefore will we also1571 serve5647 the LORD;3068 for he is our God.430
19 And Joshua3091 said559 to the people,5971 You cannot3808 3201 serve5647 the LORD:3068 for he is an holy6918 God;430 he is a jealous7072 God;410 he will not forgive5375 your transgressions6588 nor your sins.2403
20 If3588 you forsake5800 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 strange5236 gods,430 then he will turn7725 and do you hurt,7489 and consume3615 you, after310 that he has done you good.3190
21 And the people5971 said559 to Joshua,3091 No;3808 but we will serve5647 the LORD.3068
22 And Joshua3091 said559 to the people,5971 You are witnesses5707 against yourselves that you have chosen977 you the LORD,3068 to serve5647 him. And they said,559 We are witnesses.5707
23 Now6258 therefore put5493 away,5493 said he, the strange5236 gods430 which834 are among7130 you, and incline5186 your heart3824 to the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478
24 And the people5971 said559 to Joshua,3091 The LORD3068 our God430 will we serve,5647 and his voice6963 will we obey.8085
25 So Joshua3091 made3772 a covenant1285 with the people5971 that day,3117 and set7760 them a statute2706 and an ordinance4941 in Shechem.7927
26 And Joshua3091 wrote3789 these428 words1697 in the book5612 of the law8451 of God,430 and took3947 a great1419 stone,68 and set6965 it up there8033 under8478 an oak,427 that was by the sanctuary4720 of the LORD.3068
27 And Joshua3091 said559 to all3605 the people,5971 Behold,2009 this2063 stone68 shall be a witness5713 to us; for it has heard8085 all3605 the words561 of the LORD3068 which834 he spoke1696 to us: it shall be therefore a witness5713 to you, lest6435 you deny3584 your God.430
28 So Joshua3091 let the people5971 depart,7971 every man376 to his inheritance.5159
29 And it came1961 to pass after310 these428 things,1697 that Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 the servant5650 of the LORD,3068 died,4191 being an hundred3967 and ten6235 years8141 old.1121
30 And they buried6912 him in the border1366 of his inheritance5159 in Timnathserah,8556 which834 is in mount2022 Ephraim,669 on the north6828 side of the hill2022 of Gaash.1608
31 And Israel3478 served5647 the LORD3068 all3605 the days3117 of Joshua,3091 and all3605 the days3117 of the elders2205 that outlived748 Joshua,3091 and which834 had known3045 all3605 the works4639 of the LORD,3068 that he had done6213 for Israel.3478
32 And the bones6106 of Joseph,3130 which834 the children1121 of Israel3478 brought5927 up out of Egypt,4714 buried6912 they in Shechem,7927 in a parcel2513 of ground7704 which834 Jacob3290 bought7069 of the sons1121 of Hamor2544 the father1 of Shechem7927 for an hundred3967 pieces of silver:7192 and it became1961 the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Joseph.3130
33 And Eleazar499 the son1121 of Aaron175 died;4191 and they buried6912 him in a hill1389 that pertained to Phinehas6372 his son,1121 which834 was given5414 him in mount2022 Ephraim.669
