God's Charge to Joshua

Now it came 1961 about after 310 the death 4194 of Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068, that the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, Moses' 4872 servant 8334, saying 559,
2 "Moses 4872 My servant 5650 is dead 4191; now 6258 therefore arise 6965, cross 5674 this 2088 Jordan 3383, you and all 3605 this 2088 people 5971, to the land 776 which 834 I am giving 5414 to them, to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
3 "Every 3605 place 4725 on which 834 the sole 3709 of your foot 7272 treads 1869, I have given 5414 it to you, just 3512 as I spoke 1696 to Moses 4872.
4 "From the wilderness 4057 and this 2088 Lebanon 3844, even as far 5704 as the great 1419 river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578, all 3605 the land 776 of the Hittites 2850, and as far 5704 as the Great 1419 Sea 3220 toward the setting 3996 of the sun 8121 will be your territory 1366.
5 "No 3808 man 376 will {be able to} stand 3320 before 6440 you all 3605 the days 3117 of your life 2425. Just 3512 as I have been 1961 with Moses 4872, I will be with you; I will not fail 7503 you or forsake 5800 you.
6 "Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, for you shall give 5157 this 2088 people 5971 possession 5157 of the land 776 which 834 I swore 7650 to their fathers 1 to give 5414 them.
7 "Only 7534 be strong 2388 and very 3966 courageous 553; be careful 8104 to do 6213 according to all 3605 the law 8451 which 834 Moses 4872 My servant 5650 commanded 6680 you; do not turn 5493 from it to the right 3225 or to the left 8040, so 4616 that you may have 7919 success 7919 wherever you go 1980.
8 "This 2088 book 5612 of the law 8451 shall not depart 4185 from your mouth 6310, but you shall meditate 1897 on it day 3119 and night 3915, so 4616 that you may be careful 8104 to do 6213 according to all 3605 that is written 3789 in it; for then 227 you will make 6743 your way 1870 prosperous 6743, and then 227 you will have 7919 success 7919.
9 "Have I not commanded 6680 you? Be strong 2388 and courageous 553! Do not tremble 6206 or be dismayed 2865, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is with you wherever you go 1980."

Joshua Assumes Command

¶ Then Joshua 3091 commanded 6680 the officers 7860 of the people 5971, saying 559,
11 "Pass 5674 through the midst 7130 of the camp 4264 and command 6680 the people 5971, saying 559, 'Prepare 3559 provisions 6720 for yourselves, for within 5750 three 7969 days 3117 you are to cross 5674 this 2088 Jordan 3383, to go 935 in to possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 you, to possess 3423 it.'"
12 ¶ To the Reubenites 7206 and to the Gadites 1425 and to the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, Joshua 3091 said 559,
13 "Remember 2142 the word 1697 which 834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 you, saying 559, 'The LORD 3068 your God 430 gives 5117 you rest 5117 and will give 5414 you this 2088 land 776.'
14 "Your wives 802, your little 2945 ones 2945, and your cattle 4735 shall remain 3427 in the land 776 which 834 Moses 4872 gave 5414 you beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, but you shall cross 5674 before 6440 your brothers 251 in battle 2571 array 2571, all 3605 your valiant 2428 warriors 1368, and shall help 5826 them,
15 until 5704 the LORD 3068 gives 5117 your brothers 251 rest 5117, as {He gives} you, and they also 1571 possess 3423 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 is giving 5414 them. Then you shall return 7725 to your own 3425 land 776, and possess 3423 that which 834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 gave 5414 you beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383 toward the sunrise."
16 ¶ They answered 6030 Joshua 3091, saying 559, "All 3605 that you have commanded 6680 us we will do 6213, and wherever you send 7971 us we will go 1980.
17 "Just as we obeyed 8085 Moses 4872 in all 3605 things 3605, so 3651 we will obey 8085 you; only 7534 may the LORD 3068 your God 430 be with you as He was with Moses 4872.
18 "Anyone who 834 rebels 4784 against 854 your command 6310 and does not obey 8085 your words 1697 in all 3605 that you command 6680 him, shall be put 4191 to death 4191; only 7534 be strong 2388 and courageous 553."

Rahab Shelters Spies

Then Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 sent 7971 two 8147 men 376 as spies 7270 secretly 2791 from Shittim 7851, saying 559, "Go 1980, view 7200 the land 776, especially 853 Jericho 3405." So they went 1980 and came 935 into the house 1004 of a harlot whose name 8034 was Rahab 7343, and lodged 7901 there 8033.
2 It was told 559 the king 4428 of Jericho 3405, saying 559, "Behold 2009, men 376 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 have come 935 here 2008 tonight 3915 to search 2658 out the land 776."
3 And the king 4428 of Jericho 3405 sent 7971 {word} to Rahab 7343, saying 559, "Bring 3318 out the men 376 who have come 935 to you, who 834 have entered 935 your house 1004, for they have come 935 to search 2658 out all 3605 the land 776."
4 But the woman 802 had taken 3947 the two 8147 men 376 and hidden 6845 them, and she said 559, "Yes 3653, the men 376 came 935 to me, but I did not know 3045 where 370 they were from.
5 "It came 1961 about when {it was time} to shut 5462 the gate 8179 at dark 2822, that the men 376 went 3318 out; I do not know 3045 where 575 the men 376 went 1980. Pursue 7291 them quickly 4118, for you will overtake 5381 them."
6 But she had brought 5927 them up to the roof 1406 and hidden 2934 them in the stalks 6086 of flax 6593 which she had laid 6186 in order 6186 on the roof 1406.
7 So the men 376 pursued 7291 them on the road 1870 to the Jordan 3383 to the fords 4569; and as soon 3512 as those who were pursuing 7291 them had gone 3318 out, they shut 5462 the gate 8179.
8 ¶ Now before 2962 they lay 7901 down 7901, she came 5927 up to them on the roof 1406,
9 and said 559 to the men 376, "I know 3045 that the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you the land 776, and that the terror 367 of you has fallen 5307 on us, and that all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 have melted 4127 away 4127 before you.
10 "For we have heard 8085 how 834 the LORD 3068 dried 3001 up the water 4325 of the Red Sea 3220 before you when you came 3318 out of Egypt 4714, and what 834 you did 6213 to the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 who 834 were beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, to Sihon 5511 and Og 5747, whom 834 you utterly 2763 destroyed 2763.
11 "When we heard 8085 {it,} our hearts 3824 melted 4549 and no 3808 courage 7307 remained 6965 in any 376 man 376 any 5750 longer 5750 because of you; for the LORD 3068 your God 430, He is God 430 in heaven 8064 above and on earth 776 beneath.
12 "Now 6258 therefore, please 4994 swear 7650 to me by the LORD 3068, since 3588 I have dealt 6213 kindly 2617 with you, that you also 1571 will deal 6213 kindly 2617 with my father's 1 household 1004, and give 5414 me a pledge 226 of truth 571,
13 and spare 2421 my father 1 and my mother 517 and my brothers 251 and my sisters 269, with all 3605 who 834 belong to them, and deliver 5337 our lives 5315 from death 4194."
14 So the men 376 said 559 to her, "Our life 5315 for yours if 518 you do not tell 5046 this 2088 business 1697 of ours; and it shall come 1961 about when the LORD 3068 gives 5414 us the land 776 that we will deal 6213 kindly 2617 and faithfully 571 with you."
15

The Promise to Rahab

¶ Then she let 3381 them down 3381 by a rope 2256 through 1157 the window 2474, for her house 1004 was on the city 7023 wall 2346, so that she was living 3427 on the wall 2346.
16 She said 559 to them, "Go 1980 to the hill 2022 country 2022, so 6435 that the pursuers 7291 will not happen 6293 upon you, and hide 2247 yourselves there 8033 for three 7969 days 3117 until 5704 the pursuers 7291 return 7725. Then afterward 310 you may go 1980 on your way 1870."
17 The men 376 said 559 to her, "We {shall be} free 5355 from this 2088 oath 7621 to you which 834 you have made us swear 7650,
18 unless 2009, when we come 935 into the land 776, you tie 7194 this 2088 cord 8615 of scarlet 8144 thread 2339 in the window 2474 through which 834 you let 3381 us down 3381, and gather 622 to yourself into the house 1004 your father 1 and your mother 517 and your brothers 251 and all 3605 your father's 1 household 1004.
19 "It shall come 1961 about that anyone 3605 who 834 goes 3318 out of the doors 1817 of your house 1004 into the street 2351, his blood 1818 {shall be} on his own head 7218, and we {shall be} free 5355; but anyone 3605 who 834 is with you in the house 1004, his blood 1818 {shall be} on our head 7218 if 518 a hand 3027 is {laid} on him.
20 "But if 518 you tell 5046 this 2088 business 1697 of ours, then we shall be free 5355 from the oath 7621 which 834 you have made us swear 7650."
21 She said 559, "According to your words 1697, so 3651 be it." So she sent 7971 them away 7971, and they departed 1980; and she tied 7194 the scarlet 8144 cord 8615 in the window 2474.
22 ¶ They departed 1980 and came 935 to the hill 2022 country 2022, and remained 3427 there 8033 for three 7969 days 3117 until 5704 the pursuers 7291 returned 7725. Now the pursuers 7291 had sought 1245 {them} all 3605 along the road 1870, but had not found 4672 {them.}
23 Then the two 8147 men 376 returned 7725 and came 3381 down 3381 from the hill 2022 country 2022 and crossed 5674 over 5674 and came 935 to Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and they related 5608 to him all 3605 that had happened 4672 to them.
24 They said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Surely 3588 the LORD 3068 has given 5414 all 3605 the land 776 into our hands 3027; moreover 1571, all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 have melted 4127 away 4127 before us."

Israel Crosses the Jordan

Then Joshua 3091 rose 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242; and he and all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 set 5265 out from Shittim 7851 and came 935 to the Jordan 3383, and they lodged 3885 there 8033 before 2962 they crossed 5674.
2 At the end 7097 of three 7969 days 3117 the officers 7860 went 5674 through 5674 the midst 7130 of the camp 4264;
3 and they commanded 6680 the people 5971, saying 559, "When you see 7200 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 with the Levitical 3881 priests 3548 carrying 5375 it, then you shall set 5265 out from your place 4725 and go 1980 after 310 it.
4 "However 389, there shall be between 996 you and it a distance 7350 of about 2,000 505 cubits 520 by measure 4060. Do not come 7126 near 7126 it, that you may know 3045 the way 1870 by which 834 you shall go 1980, for you have not passed 5674 this way 1870 before."
5 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 said 559 to the people 5971, "Consecrate 6942 yourselves, for tomorrow 4279 the LORD 3068 will do 6213 wonders 6381 among 7130 you."
6 And Joshua 3091 spoke 559 to the priests 3548, saying 559, "Take 5375 up the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 and cross 5674 over 5674 ahead 6440 of the people 5971." So they took 5375 up the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 and went 1980 ahead 6440 of the people 5971.
7 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "This 2088 day 3117 I will begin 2490 to exalt 1431 you in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478, that they may know 3045 that just 3512 as I have been 1961 with Moses 4872, I will be with you.
8 "You shall, moreover, command 6680 the priests 3548 who are carrying 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285, saying 559, 'When you come 935 to the edge 7097 of the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383, you shall stand 5975 {still} in the Jordan 3383.'"
9 Then Joshua 3091 said 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, "Come 5066 here 2008, and hear 8085 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 your God 430."
10 Joshua 3091 said 559, "By this 2088 you shall know 3045 that the living 2416 God 410 is among 7130 you, and that He will assuredly 3423 dispossess 3423 from before 6440 you the Canaanite 3669, the Hittite 2850, the Hivite 2340, the Perizzite 6522, the Girgashite 1622, the Amorite 567, and the Jebusite 2983.
11 "Behold 2009, the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the Lord 136 of all 3605 the earth 776 is crossing 5674 over 5674 ahead 6440 of you into the Jordan 3383.
12 "Now 6258 then, take 3947 for yourselves twelve men 376 from the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, one 259 man 376 for each tribe 7626.
13 "It shall come 1961 about when the soles 3709 of the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 who carry 5375 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, the Lord 136 of all 3605 the earth 776, rest 5117 in the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383, the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383 will be cut 3772 off 3772, {and} the waters 4325 which are flowing 3381 down 3381 from above will stand 5975 in one 259 heap 5067."
14 ¶ So when the people 5971 set 5265 out from their tents 168 to cross 5674 the Jordan 3383 with the priests 3548 carrying 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 before 6440 the people 5971,
15 and when those who carried 5375 the ark 727 came 935 into the Jordan 3383, and the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 carrying 5375 the ark 727 were dipped 2881 in the edge 7097 of the water 4325 (for the Jordan 3383 overflows all 3605 its banks 1415 all 3605 the days 3117 of harvest 7105),
16 the waters 4325 which were flowing 3381 down 3381 from above stood 5975 {and} rose 6965 up in one 259 heap 5067, a great 3966 distance 7368 away at Adam 121, the city 5892 that is beside Zarethan 6891; and those which were flowing 3381 down 3381 toward 5921 the sea 3220 of the Arabah 6160, the Salt 4417 Sea 3220, were completely 8552 cut 3772 off 3772. So the people 5971 crossed 5674 opposite 5048 Jericho 3405.
17 And the priests 3548 who carried 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 stood 5975 firm 5975 on dry 2724 ground 2724 in the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383 while all 3605 Israel 3478 crossed 5674 on dry 2724 ground 2724, until all 3605 the nation 1471 had finished 8552 crossing 5674 the Jordan 3383.

Memorial Stones from Jordan

Now when 3512 all 3605 the nation 1471 had finished 8552 crossing 5674 the Jordan 3383, the LORD 3068 spoke 559 to Joshua 3091, saying 559,
2 "Take 3947 for yourselves twelve men 376 from the people 5971, one 259 man 376 from each tribe 7626,
3 and command 6680 them, saying 559, 'Take 5375 up for yourselves twelve stones 68 from here 2088 out of the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383, from the place 4673 where 4673 the priests' 3548 feet 7272 are standing 4673 firm 3559, and carry 5674 them over 5674 with you and lay 5117 them down 5117 in the lodging 4411 place 4411 where 4673 you will lodge 3885 tonight 3915.'"
4 So Joshua 3091 called 7121 the twelve men 376 whom 834 he had appointed 3559 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, one 259 man 376 from each tribe 7626;
5 and Joshua 3091 said 559 to them, "Cross 5674 again 6440 to the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 into the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383, and each 376 of you take 7311 up a stone 68 on his shoulder 7926, according to the number 4557 of the tribes 7626 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
6 "Let this 2088 be a sign 226 among 7130 you, so that when your children 1121 ask 7592 later 4279, saying 559, 'What 4100 do these 428 stones 68 mean to you?'
7 then you shall say 559 to them, 'Because 834 the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383 were cut 3772 off 3772 before the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068; when it crossed 5674 the Jordan 3383, the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383 were cut 3772 off 3772.' So these 428 stones 68 shall become 1961 a memorial 2146 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 forever."
8 ¶ Thus 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 as Joshua 3091 commanded 6680, and took 5375 up twelve stones 68 from the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Joshua 3091, according to the number 4557 of the tribes 7626 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; and they carried 5674 them over 5674 with them to the lodging 4411 place 4411 and put 5117 them down 5117 there 8033.
9 Then Joshua 3091 set 6965 up twelve stones 68 in the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383 at the place where 4673 the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 who carried 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 were standing 4673, and they are there 8033 to this 2088 day 3117.
10 For the priests 3548 who carried 5375 the ark 727 were standing 5975 in the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383 until 5704 everything 3605 was completed 8552 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Joshua 3091 to speak 1696 to the people 5971, according to all 3605 that Moses 4872 had commanded 6680 Joshua 3091. And the people 5971 hurried 4116 and crossed 5674;
11 and when 3512 all 3605 the people 5971 had finished 8552 crossing 5674, the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 and the priests 3548 crossed 5674 before 6440 the people 5971.
12 The sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 crossed 5674 over 5674 in battle 2571 array 2571 before 6440 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, just 3512 as Moses 4872 had spoken 1696 to them;
13 about 40,000 equipped 2502 for war 6635, crossed 5674 for battle 4421 before 6440 the LORD 3068 to the desert 6160 plains 6160 of Jericho 3405.
14 ¶ On that day 3117 the LORD 3068 exalted 1431 Joshua 3091 in the sight 5869 of all 3605 Israel 3478; so that they revered 3372 him, just 3512 as they had revered 3372 Moses 4872 all 3605 the days 3117 of his life 2425.
15 ¶ Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091,
16 "Command 6680 the priests 3548 who carry 5375 the ark 727 of the testimony 5715 that they come 5927 up from the Jordan 3383."
17 So Joshua 3091 commanded 6680 the priests 3548, saying 559, "Come 5927 up from the Jordan 3383."
18 It came 1961 about when the priests 3548 who carried 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 had come 5927 up from the middle 8432 of the Jordan 3383, and the soles 3709 of the priests' 3548 feet 7272 were lifted 5423 up to the dry 2724 ground 2724, that the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383 returned 7725 to their place 4725, and went 1980 over 5921 all 3605 its banks 1415 as before.
19 ¶ Now the people 5971 came 5927 up from the Jordan 3383 on the tenth 6218 of the first 7223 month 2320 and camped 2583 at Gilgal 1537 on the eastern 4217 edge 7097 of Jericho 3405.
20 Those 428 twelve stones 68 which 834 they had taken 3947 from the Jordan 3383, Joshua 3091 set 6965 up at Gilgal 1537.
21 He said 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, "When 834 your children 1121 ask 7592 their fathers 1 in time 4279 to come 4279, saying 559, 'What 4100 are these 428 stones 68?'
22 then you shall inform 3045 your children 1121, saying 559, 'Israel 3478 crossed 5674 this 2088 Jordan 3383 on dry 3004 ground 3004.'
23 "For the LORD 3068 your God 430 dried 3001 up the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383 before you until 5704 you had crossed 5674, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 your God 430 had done 6213 to the Red Sea 3220, which 834 He dried 3001 up before us until 5704 we had crossed 5674;
24 that all 3605 the peoples 5971 of the earth 776 may know 3045 that the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068 is mighty 2389, so 4616 that you may fear 3372 the LORD 3068 your God 430 forever."

Israel Is Circumcised

Now it came 1961 about when all 3605 the kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 who 834 {were} beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383 to the west 3220, and all 3605 the kings 4428 of the Canaanites 3669 who 834 {were} by the sea 3220, heard 8085 how the LORD 3068 had dried 3001 up the waters 4325 of the Jordan 3383 before the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 until 5704 they had crossed 5674, that their hearts 3824 melted 4549, and there was no 3808 spirit 7307 in them any 5750 longer 5750 because of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
2 ¶ At that time 6256 the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Make 6213 for yourself flint 6864 knives 2719 and circumcise 4135 again 7725 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 the second 8145 time 8145."
3 So Joshua 3091 made 6213 himself flint 6864 knives 2719 and circumcised 4135 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 at Gibeath-haaraloth.
4 This 2088 is the reason 1697 why 834 Joshua 3091 circumcised 4135 them: all 3605 the people 5971 who came 3318 out of Egypt 4714 who were males 2145, all 3605 the men 376 of war 4421, died 4191 in the wilderness 4057 along the way 1870 after they came 3318 out of Egypt 4714.
5 For all 3605 the people 5971 who came 3318 out were circumcised 4135, but all 3605 the people 5971 who were born 3209 in the wilderness 4057 along the way 1870 as they came 3318 out of Egypt 4714 had not been circumcised 4135.
6 For the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 walked 1980 forty 705 years 8141 in the wilderness 4057, until 5704 all 3605 the nation 1471, {that is,} the men 376 of war 4421 who came 3318 out of Egypt 4714, perished 8552 because 834 they did not listen 8085 to the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068, to whom 834 the LORD 3068 had sworn 7650 that He would not let them see 7200 the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 had sworn 7650 to their fathers 1 to give 5414 us, a land 776 flowing 2100 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.
7 Their children 1121 whom He raised 6965 up in their place 8478, Joshua 3091 circumcised 4135; for they were uncircumcised 6189, because 3588 they had not circumcised 4135 them along the way 1870.
8 ¶ Now when 3512 they had finished 8552 circumcising 4135 all 3605 the nation 1471, they remained 3427 in their places 8478 in the camp 4264 until 5704 they were healed 2421.
9 Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Today 3117 I have rolled 1556 away 1556 the reproach 2781 of Egypt 4714 from you." So the name 8034 of that place 4725 is called 7121 Gilgal 1537 to this 2088 day 3117.
10 ¶ While the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 camped 2583 at Gilgal 1537 they observed 6213 the Passover 6453 on the evening 6153 of the fourteenth day 3117 of the month 2320 on the desert 6160 plains 6160 of Jericho 3405.
11 On the day 4283 after 4283 the Passover 6453, on that very 6106 day 3117, they ate 398 some 4480 of the produce 5669 of the land 776, unleavened 4682 cakes 4682 and parched 7033 {grain.}
12 The manna 4478 ceased 7673 on the day 4283 after 4283 they had eaten 398 some 4480 of the produce 8393 of the land 776, so that the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 no 3808 longer 5750 had 1961 manna 4478, but they ate 398 some 4480 of the yield 8393 of the land 776 of Canaan 3667 during that year 8141.
13 ¶ Now it came 1961 about when Joshua 3091 was by Jericho 3405, that he lifted 5375 up his eyes 5869 and looked 7200, and behold 2009, a man 376 was standing 5975 opposite 5048 him with his sword 2719 drawn 8025 in his hand 3027, and Joshua 3091 went 1980 to him and said 559 to him, "Are you for us or 518 for our adversaries 6862?"
14 He said 559, "No 3808; rather 3588 I indeed 3588 come 935 now 6258 {as} captain 8269 of the host 6635 of the LORD 3068." And Joshua 3091 fell 5307 on his face 6440 to the earth 776, and bowed 7812 down 7812, and said 559 to him, "What 4100 has my lord 136 to say 1696 to his servant 5650?"
15 The captain 8269 of the LORD'S 3068 host 6635 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Remove 5394 your sandals 5275 from your feet 7272, for the place 4725 where you are standing 5975 is holy 6944." And Joshua 3091 did 6213 so 3651.

## Chapter 6

The Conquest of Jericho

Now Jericho 3405 was tightly 5462 shut 5462 because of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; no 369 one 369 went 3318 out and no 369 one 369 came 935 in.
2 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "See 7200, I have given 5414 Jericho 3405 into your hand 3027, with its king 4428 {and} the valiant 2428 warriors 1368.
3 "You shall march 5437 around 5437 the city 5892, all 3605 the men 376 of war 4421 circling 5362 the city 5892 once. You shall do 6213 so 3541 for six 8337 days 3117.
4 "Also seven 7651 priests 3548 shall carry 5375 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' 3104 horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727; then on the seventh 7637 day 3117 you shall march 5437 around 5437 the city 5892 seven 7651 times 6471, and the priests 3548 shall blow 8628 the trumpets 7782.
5 "It shall be that when they make 4900 a long 4900 blast 4900 with the ram's 3104 horn 7161, and when you hear 8085 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782, all 3605 the people 5971 shall shout 7321 with a great 1419 shout 8643; and the wall 2346 of the city 5892 will fall 5307 down 5307 flat 8478, and the people 5971 will go 5927 up every 376 man 376 straight 5048 ahead 5048."
6 ¶ So Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 called 7121 the priests 3548 and said 559 to them, "Take 5375 up the ark 727 of the covenant 1285, and let seven 7651 priests 3548 carry 5375 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' 3104 horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068."
7 Then he said 559 to the people 5971, "Go 5674 forward 5674, and march 5437 around 5437 the city 5892, and let the armed 2502 men go 5674 on before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068."
8 And it was {so,} that when Joshua 3091 had spoken 559 to the people 5971, the seven 7651 priests 3548 carrying 5375 the seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' 3104 horns 3104 before 6440 the LORD 3068 went 5674 forward 5674 and blew 8628 the trumpets 7782; and the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 followed them.
9 The armed 2502 men went 1980 before 6440 the priests 3548 who blew 8628 the trumpets 7782, and the rear 622 guard 622 came 1980 after 310 the ark 727, while they continued 1980 to blow 8628 the trumpets 7782.
10 But Joshua 3091 commanded 6680 the people 5971, saying 559, "You shall not shout 7321 nor 3808 let your voice 6963 be heard 8085 nor 3808 let a word 1697 proceed 3318 out of your mouth 6310, until 5704 the day 3117 I tell 559 you, 'Shout 7321!' Then you shall shout 7321!"
11 So he had the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 taken 5437 around 5437 the city 5892, circling 5362 {it} once; then they came 935 into the camp 4264 and spent 3885 the night 3885 in the camp 4264.
12 ¶ Now Joshua 3091 rose 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242, and the priests 3548 took 5375 up the ark 727 of the LORD 3068.
13 The seven 7651 priests 3548 carrying 5375 the seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' 3104 horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 went 1980 on continually 1980, and blew 8628 the trumpets 7782; and the armed 2502 men went 1980 before 6440 them and the rear 622 guard 622 came 1980 after 310 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, while they continued 1980 to blow 8628 the trumpets 7782.
14 Thus the second 8145 day 3117 they marched 5437 around 5437 the city 5892 once and returned 7725 to the camp 4264; they did 6213 so 3541 for six 8337 days 3117.
15 ¶ Then on the seventh 7637 day 3117 they rose 7925 early 7925 at the dawning 7837 of the day 7837 and marched 5437 around 5437 the city 5892 in the same 2088 manner 4941 seven 7651 times 6471; only 7534 on that day 3117 they marched 5437 around 5437 the city 5892 seven 7651 times 6471.
16 At the seventh 7637 time 6471, when the priests 3548 blew 8628 the trumpets 7782, Joshua 3091 said 559 to the people 5971, "Shout 7321! For the LORD 3068 has given 5414 you the city 5892.
17 "The city 5892 shall be under 2764 the ban 2764, it and all 3605 that is in it belongs to the LORD 3068; only 7534 Rahab 7343 the harlot 2181 and all 3605 who 834 are with her in the house 1004 shall live 2421, because 3588 she hid 2244 the messengers 4397 whom 834 we sent 7971.
18 "But as for you, only 7534 keep 8104 yourselves from the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764, so 6435 that you do not covet 2763 {them} and take 3947 some 4480 of the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764, and make 7760 the camp 4264 of Israel 3478 accursed 2764 and bring 5916 trouble 5916 on it.
19 "But all 3605 the silver 3701 and gold 2091 and articles 3627 of bronze 5178 and iron 1270 are holy 6944 to the LORD 3068; they shall go 935 into the treasury 214 of the LORD 3068."
20 So the people 5971 shouted 7321, and {priests} blew 8628 the trumpets 7782; and when the people 5971 heard 8085 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782, the people 5971 shouted 7321 with a great 1419 shout 8643 and the wall 2346 fell 5307 down 5307 flat 8478, so that the people 5971 went 5927 up into the city 5892, every 376 man 376 straight 5048 ahead 5048, and they took 3920 the city 5892.
21 They utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 everything 3605 in the city 5892, both man 376 and woman 802, young 5288 and old 2205, and ox 7794 and sheep 7716 and donkey 2543, with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719.
22 ¶ Joshua 3091 said 559 to the two 8147 men 376 who had spied 7270 out the land 776, "Go 935 into the harlot's house 1004 and bring 3318 the woman 802 and all 3605 she has out of there 8033, as you have sworn 7650 to her."
23 So the young 5288 men 5288 who were spies 7270 went 935 in and brought 3318 out Rahab 7343 and her father 1 and her mother 517 and her brothers 251 and all 3605 she had; they also brought 3318 out all 3605 her relatives 4940 and placed 5117 them outside the camp 4264 of Israel 3478.
24 They burned 8313 the city 5892 with fire 784, and all 3605 that was in it. Only 7534 the silver 3701 and gold 2091, and articles 3627 of bronze 5178 and iron 1270, they put 5414 into the treasury 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.
25 However, Rahab 7343 the harlot 2181 and her father's 1 household 1004 and all 3605 she had, Joshua 3091 spared 2421; and she has lived 3427 in the midst 7130 of Israel 3478 to this 2088 day 3117, for she hid 2244 the messengers 4397 whom 834 Joshua 3091 sent 7971 to spy 7270 out Jericho 3405.
26 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 made them take 7650 an oath 7650 at that time 6256, saying 559, "Cursed 779 before 6440 the LORD 3068 is the man 376 who 834 rises 6965 up and builds 1129 this 2088 city 5892 Jericho 3405; with {the loss of} his firstborn 1060 he shall lay 3245 its foundation 3245, and with {the loss of} his youngest 6810 son 6810 he shall set 5324 up its gates 1817."
27 So the LORD 3068 was with Joshua 3091, and his fame 8089 was in all 3605 the land 776.

Israel Is Defeated at Ai

But the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 acted 4603 unfaithfully 4604 in regard to the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764, for Achan 5912, the son 1121 of Carmi 3756, the son 1121 of Zabdi 2067, the son 1121 of Zerah 2226, from the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063, took 3947 some 4480 of the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764, therefore the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 burned 2734 against the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
2 ¶ Now Joshua 3091 sent 7971 men 376 from Jericho 3405 to Ai 5857, which 834 is near 5973 Beth-aven 1007, east 6924 of Bethel 1008, and said 559 to them, "Go 5927 up and spy 7270 out the land 776." So the men 376 went 5927 up and spied 7270 out Ai 5857.
3 They returned 7725 to Joshua 3091 and said 559 to him, "Do not let all 3605 the people 5971 go 5927 up; {only} about two or 176 three 7969 thousand 505 men 376 need go 5927 up to Ai 5857; do not make all 3605 the people 5971 toil 3021 up there 8033, for they are few 4592."
4 So about three 7969 thousand 505 men 376 from the people 5971 went 5927 up there 8033, but they fled 5127 from the men 376 of Ai 5857.
5 The men 376 of Ai 5857 struck 5221 down 5221 about thirty-six of their men 376, and pursued 7291 them from the gate 8179 as far 5704 as Shebarim 7671 and struck 5221 them down 5221 on the descent 4174, so the hearts 3824 of the people 5971 melted 4549 and became 1961 as water 4325.
6 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 tore 7167 his clothes 8071 and fell 5307 to the earth 776 on his face 6440 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 until 5704 the evening 6153, {both} he and the elders 2205 of Israel 3478; and they put 5927 dust 6083 on their heads 7218.
7 Joshua 3091 said 559, "Alas 162, O Lord 136 GOD 3068, why 4100 did You ever 5674 bring 5674 this 2088 people 5971 over 5674 the Jordan 3383, {only} to deliver 5414 us into the hand 3027 of the Amorites 567, to destroy 6 us? If 3863 only 3863 we had been willing 2974 to dwell 3427 beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383!
8 "O 994 Lord 136, what 4100 can I say 559 since 310 Israel 3478 has turned 2015 {their} back 6203 before 6440 their enemies 340?
9 "For the Canaanites 3669 and all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 will hear 8085 of it, and they will surround 5437 us and cut 3772 off 3772 our name 8034 from the earth 776. And what 4100 will You do 6213 for Your great 1419 name 8034?"
10 ¶ So the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Rise 6965 up! Why 4100 is it that you have fallen 5307 on your face 6440?
11 "Israel 3478 has sinned 2398, and they have also 1571 transgressed 5674 My covenant 1285 which 834 I commanded 6680 them. And they have even 1571 taken 3947 some 4480 of the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764 and have both 1571 stolen 1589 and deceived 3584. Moreover, they have also 1571 put 7760 {them} among their own things 3627.
12 "Therefore the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 cannot stand 6965 before 6440 their enemies 340; they turn 6437 {their} backs 6203 before 6440 their enemies 340, for they have become 1961 accursed 2764. I will not be with you anymore 3254 unless you destroy 8045 the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764 from your midst 7130.
13 "Rise 6965 up! Consecrate 6942 the people 5971 and say 559, 'Consecrate 6942 yourselves for tomorrow 4279, for thus 3541 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, has said 559, "There are things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764 in your midst 7130, O Israel 3478. You cannot stand 6965 before 6440 your enemies 340 until 5704 you have removed 5493 the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764 from your midst 7130."
14 'In the morning 1242 then you shall come 7126 near 7126 by your tribes 7626. And it shall be that the tribe 7626 which 834 the LORD 3068 takes 3920 {by lot} shall come 7126 near 7126 by families 4940, and the family 4940 which 834 the LORD 3068 takes 3920 shall come 7126 near 7126 by households 1004, and the household 1004 which 834 the LORD 3068 takes 3920 shall come 7126 near 7126 man 1397 by man 1397.
15 'It shall be that the one who is taken 3920 with the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764 shall be burned 8313 with fire 784, he and all 3605 that belongs to him, because 3588 he has transgressed 5674 the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, and because 3588 he has committed 6213 a disgraceful 5039 thing 5039 in Israel 3478.'"
16

The Sin of Achan

¶ So Joshua 3091 arose 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242 and brought 7126 Israel 3478 near 7126 by tribes 7626, and the tribe 7626 of Judah 3063 was taken 3920.
17 He brought 7126 the family 4940 of Judah 3063 near 7126, and he took 3920 the family 4940 of the Zerahites 2227; and he brought 7126 the family 4940 of the Zerahites 2227 near 7126 man 1397 by man 1397, and Zabdi 2067 was taken 3920.
18 He brought 7126 his household 1004 near 7126 man 1397 by man 1397; and Achan 5912, son 1121 of Carmi 3756, son 1121 of Zabdi 2067, son 1121 of Zerah 2226, from the tribe 4294 of Judah 3063, was taken 3920.
19 Then Joshua 3091 said 559 to Achan 5912, "My son 1121, I implore 4994 you, give 7760 glory 3519 to the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, and give 5414 praise 8426 to Him; and tell 5046 me now 4994 what 4100 you have done 6213. Do not hide 3582 it from me."
20 So Achan 5912 answered 6030 Joshua 3091 and said 559, "Truly 546, I have sinned 2398 against the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, and this 2088 is what 2088 I did 6213:
21 when I saw 7200 among the spoil 7998 a beautiful 2896 mantle 155 from Shinar 8152 and two hundred 3967 shekels 8255 of silver 3701 and a bar 3956 of gold 2091 fifty 2572 shekels 8255 in weight 4948, then I coveted 2530 them and took 3947 them; and behold 2009, they are concealed 2934 in the earth 776 inside 8432 my tent 168 with the silver 3701 underneath 8478 it."
22 ¶ So Joshua 3091 sent 7971 messengers 4397, and they ran 7323 to the tent 168; and behold 2009, it was concealed 2934 in his tent 168 with the silver 3701 underneath 8478 it.
23 They took 3947 them from inside 8432 the tent 168 and brought 935 them to Joshua 3091 and to all 3605 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and they poured 3332 them out before 6440 the LORD 3068.
24 Then Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him, took 3947 Achan 5912 the son 1121 of Zerah 2226, the silver 3701, the mantle 155, the bar 3956 of gold 2091, his sons 1121, his daughters 1323, his oxen 7794, his donkeys 2543, his sheep 6629, his tent 168 and all 3605 that belonged to him; and they brought 5927 them up to the valley 6010 of Achor 5911.
25 Joshua 3091 said 559, "Why 4100 have you troubled 5916 us? The LORD 3068 will trouble 5916 you this 2088 day 3117." And all 3605 Israel 3478 stoned 7275 them with stones 68; and they burned 8313 them with fire 784 after they had stoned 5619 them with stones 68.
26 They raised 6965 over 5921 him a great 1419 heap 1530 of stones 68 that stands to this 2088 day 3117, and the LORD 3068 turned 7725 from the fierceness 2740 of His anger 639. Therefore the name 8034 of that place 4725 has been called 7121 the valley 6010 of Achor 5911 to this 2088 day 3117.

The Conquest of Ai

Now the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Do not fear 3372 or be dismayed 2865. Take 3947 all 3605 the people 5971 of war 4421 with you and arise 6965, go 5927 up to Ai 5857; see 7200, I have given 5414 into your hand 3027 the king 4428 of Ai 5857, his people 5971, his city 5892, and his land 776.
2 "You shall do 6213 to Ai 5857 and its king 4428 just 3512 as you did 6213 to Jericho 3405 and its king 4428; you shall take 962 only 7534 its spoil 7998 and its cattle 929 as plunder 962 for yourselves. Set 7760 an ambush 693 for the city 5892 behind it."
3 ¶ So Joshua 3091 rose 6965 with all 3605 the people 5971 of war 4421 to go 5927 up to Ai 5857; and Joshua 3091 chose 977 30,000 men 376, valiant 2428 warriors 1368, and sent 7971 them out at night 3915.
4 He commanded 6680 them, saying 559, "See 7200, you are going to ambush 693 the city 5892 from behind 310 it. Do not go 7368 very 3966 far 7368 from the city 5892, but all 3605 of you be ready 3559.
5 "Then I and all 3605 the people 5971 who 834 are with me will approach 7126 the city 5892. And when 3588 they come 3318 out to meet 7122 us as at the first 7223, we will flee 5127 before 6440 them.
6 "They will come 3318 out after 310 us until 5704 we have drawn 5423 them away 5423 from the city 5892, for they will say 559, '{They} are fleeing 5127 before 6440 us as at the first 7223.' So we will flee 5127 before 6440 them.
7 "And you shall rise 6965 from {your} ambush 693 and take 3423 possession 3423 of the city 5892, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 will deliver 5414 it into your hand 3027.
8 "Then it will be when you have seized 8610 the city 5892, that you shall set 3341 the city 5892 on fire 784. You shall do 6213 {it} according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068. See 7200, I have commanded 6680 you."
9 So Joshua 3091 sent 7971 them away 7971, and they went 1980 to the place of ambush 3993 and remained 3427 between 996 Bethel 1008 and Ai 5857, on the west 3220 side 3220 of Ai 5857; but Joshua 3091 spent 3885 that night 3915 among 8432 the people 5971.
10 ¶ Now Joshua 3091 rose 7925 early 7925 in the morning 1242 and mustered 6485 the people 5971, and he went 5927 up with the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 before 6440 the people 5971 to Ai 5857.
11 Then all 3605 the people 5971 of war 4421 who 834 {were} with him went 5927 up and drew 5066 near 5066 and arrived 935 in front 5048 of the city 5892, and camped 2583 on the north 6828 side 6828 of Ai 5857. Now {there was} a valley 1516 between 996 him and Ai 5857.
12 And he took 3947 about 5,000 men 376 and set 7760 them in ambush 693 between 996 Bethel 1008 and Ai 5857, on the west 3220 side 3220 of the city 5892.
13 So they stationed 7760 the people 5971, all 3605 the army 4264 that was on the north 6828 side 6828 of the city 5892, and its rear 6119 guard 6119 on the west 3220 side 3220 of the city 5892, and Joshua 3091 spent 1980 that night 3915 in the midst 8432 of the valley 6010.
14 It came 1961 about when the king 4428 of Ai 5857 saw 7200 {it,} that the men 376 of the city 5892 hurried 4116 and rose 7925 up early 7925 and went 3318 out to meet 7122 Israel 3478 in battle 4421, he and all 3605 his people 5971 at the appointed 4150 place 4150 before 6440 the desert 6160 plain 6160. But he did not know 3045 that {there was} an ambush 693 against him behind the city 5892.
15 Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 pretended 5060 to be beaten 5060 before 6440 them, and fled 5127 by the way 1870 of the wilderness 4057.
16 And all 3605 the people 5971 who 834 were in the city 5892 were called 2199 together 2199 to pursue 7291 them, and they pursued 7291 Joshua 3091 and were drawn 5423 away 5423 from the city 5892.
17 So not a man 376 was left 7604 in Ai 5857 or Bethel 1008 who 834 had not gone 3318 out after 310 Israel 3478, and they left 5800 the city 5892 unguarded 6605 and pursued 7291 Israel 3478.
18 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Stretch 5186 out the javelin 3591 that is in your hand 3027 toward 413 Ai 5857, for I will give 5414 it into your hand 3027." So Joshua 3091 stretched 5186 out the javelin 3591 that was in his hand 3027 toward 413 the city 5892.
19 The {men in} ambush 693 rose 6965 quickly 4120 from their place 4725, and when he had stretched 5186 out his hand 3027, they ran 7323 and entered 935 the city 5892 and captured 3920 it, and they quickly 4116 set 3341 the city 5892 on fire 784.
20 When the men 376 of Ai 5857 turned 6437 back 310 and looked 7200, behold 2009, the smoke 6227 of the city 5892 ascended 5927 to the sky 8064, and they had 1961 no 3808 place 3027 to flee 5127 this 2088 way 2008 or that, for the people 5971 who had been fleeing 5127 to the wilderness 4057 turned 2015 against 413 the pursuers 7291.
21 When Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 saw 7200 that the {men in} ambush 693 had captured 3920 the city 5892 and that the smoke 6227 of the city 5892 ascended 5927, they turned 7725 back 7725 and slew 5221 the men 376 of Ai 5857.
22 The others 428 came 3318 out from the city 5892 to encounter 7122 them, so that they were {trapped} in the midst 8432 of Israel 3478, some 428 on this 2088 side 2088 and some 428 on that side 2088; and they slew 5221 them until 5704 no 1115 one was left 7604 of those who 8300 survived 8300 or escaped 6412.
23 But they took 8610 alive 2416 the king 4428 of Ai 5857 and brought 7126 him to Joshua 3091.
24 ¶ Now when Israel 3478 had finished 3615 killing 2026 all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of Ai 5857 in the field 7704 in the wilderness 4057 where 834 they pursued 7291 them, and all 3605 of them were fallen 5307 by the edge 6310 of the sword 2719 until 5704 they were destroyed 8552, then all 3605 Israel 3478 returned 7725 to Ai 5857 and struck 5221 it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719.
25 All 3605 who fell 5307 that day 3117, both 4480 men 376 and women 802, were 12,000--all 3605 the people 376 of Ai 5857.
26 For Joshua 3091 did not withdraw 7725 his hand 3027 with which 834 he stretched 5186 out the javelin 3591 until 5704 he had utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of Ai 5857.
27 Israel 3478 took 962 only 7534 the cattle 929 and the spoil 7998 of that city 5892 as plunder 962 for themselves, according to the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He had commanded 6680 Joshua 3091.
28 So Joshua 3091 burned 8313 Ai 5857 and made 7760 it a heap 8510 forever 5769, a desolation 8077 until 5704 this 2088 day 3117.
29 He hanged 8518 the king 4428 of Ai 5857 on a tree 6086 until 5704 evening 6153; and at sunset Joshua 3091 gave 6680 command 6680 and they took 3381 his body 5038 down 3381 from the tree 6086 and threw 7993 it at the entrance 6607 of the city 5892 gate 8179, and raised 6965 over 5921 it a great 1419 heap 1530 of stones 68 {that stands} to this 2088 day 3117.
30 ¶ Then 227 Joshua 3091 built 1129 an altar 4196 to the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, in Mount 2022 Ebal 5858,
31 just 3512 as Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, as it is written 3789 in the book 5612 of the law 8451 of Moses 4872, an altar 4196 of uncut 8003 stones 68 on which 834 no 3808 man had wielded 5130 an iron 1270 {tool;} and they offered 5927 burnt 5930 offerings 5930 on it to the LORD 3068, and sacrificed 2076 peace 8002 offerings 8002.
32 He wrote 3789 there 8033 on the stones 68 a copy 4932 of the law 8451 of Moses 4872, which 834 he had written 3789, in the presence 6440 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
33 All 3605 Israel 3478 with their elders 2205 and officers 7860 and their judges 8199 were standing 5975 on both sides of the ark 727 before 5048 the Levitical 3881 priests 3548 who carried 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068, the stranger 1616 as well as the native 249. Half 2677 of them {stood} in front 4136 of Mount 2022 Gerizim 1630 and half 2677 of them in front 4136 of Mount 2022 Ebal 5858, just 3512 as Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 had given 6680 command 6680 at first 7223 to bless 1288 the people 5971 of Israel 3478.
34 Then afterward he read 7121 all 3605 the words 1697 of the law 8451, the blessing 1293 and the curse 7045, according to all 3605 that is written 3789 in the book 5612 of the law 8451.
35 There was not a word 1697 of all 3605 that Moses 4872 had commanded 6680 which 834 Joshua 3091 did not read 7121 before 5048 all 3605 the assembly 6951 of Israel 3478 with the women 802 and the little 2945 ones 2945 and the strangers 1616 who were living 1980 among 7130 them.

Guile of the Gibeonites

Now it came 1961 about when all 3605 the kings 4428 who 834 were beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, in the hill 2022 country 2022 and in the lowland 8219 and on all 3605 the coast 2348 of the Great 1419 Sea 3220 toward Lebanon 3844, the Hittite 2850 and the Amorite 567, the Canaanite 3669, the Perizzite 6522, the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983, heard 8085 of it,
2 that they gathered 6908 themselves together 3164 with one 259 accord 6310 to fight 3898 with Joshua 3091 and with Israel 3478.
3 ¶ When the inhabitants 3427 of Gibeon 1391 heard 8085 what 834 Joshua 3091 had done 6213 to Jericho 3405 and to Ai 5857,
4 they also 1571 acted 6213 craftily 6195 and set 1980 out as envoys 6737, and took 3947 worn-out 1087 sacks 8242 on their donkeys 2543, and wineskins 4997 worn-out 1087 and torn 1234 and mended 6887,
5 and worn-out 1087 and patched 2921 sandals 5275 on their feet 7272, and worn-out 1087 clothes 8008 on themselves; and all 3605 the bread 3899 of their provision 6718 was dry 3001 {and} had become 1961 crumbled 5350.
6 They went 1980 to Joshua 3091 to the camp 4264 at Gilgal 1537 and said 559 to him and to the men 376 of Israel 3478, "We have come 935 from a far 7350 country 776; now 6258 therefore, make 3772 a covenant 1285 with us."
7 The men 376 of Israel 3478 said 559 to the Hivites 2340, "Perhaps 194 you are living 3427 within 7130 our land 7130; how 349 then shall we make 3772 a covenant 1285 with you?"
8 But they said 559 to Joshua 3091, "We are your servants 5650." Then Joshua 3091 said 559 to them, "Who 4310 are you and where 370 do you come 935 from?"
9 They said 559 to him, "Your servants 5650 have come 935 from a very 3966 far 7350 country 776 because of the fame 8034 of the LORD 3068 your God 430; for we have heard 8085 the report 8089 of Him and all 3605 that He did 6213 in Egypt 4714,
10 and all 3605 that He did 6213 to the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 who 834 were beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, to Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809 and to Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316 who 834 was at Ashtaroth 6252.
11 "So our elders 2205 and all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of our country 776 spoke 559 to us, saying 559, 'Take 3947 provisions 6720 in your hand 3027 for the journey 1870, and go 1980 to meet 7122 them and say 559 to them, "We are your servants 5650; now 6258 then, make 3772 a covenant 1285 with us."'
12 "This 2088 our bread 3899 {was} warm 2525 {when} we took 6719 it for our provisions 6719 out of our houses 1004 on the day 3117 that we left 3318 to come 1980 to you; but now 6258 behold 2009, it is dry 3001 and has become 1961 crumbled 5350.
13 "These 428 wineskins 4997 which 834 we filled 4390 were new 2319, and behold 2009, they are torn 1234; and these 428 our clothes 8008 and our sandals 5275 are worn 1086 out because 4480 of the very 3966 long 7231 journey 1870."
14 So the men 376 {of Israel} took 3947 some 4480 of their provisions 6718, and did not ask 7592 for the counsel 6310 of the LORD 3068.
15 Joshua 3091 made 6213 peace 7965 with them and made 3772 a covenant 1285 with them, to let them live 2421; and the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712 swore 7650 {an oath} to them.
16 ¶ It came 1961 about at the end 7097 of three 7969 days 3117 after 310 they had made 3772 a covenant 1285 with them, that they heard 8085 that they were neighbors 7138 and that they were living 3427 within 7130 their land 7130.
17 Then the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 set 5265 out and came 935 to their cities 5892 on the third 7992 day 3117. Now their cities 5892 {were} Gibeon 1391 and Chephirah 3716 and Beeroth 881 and Kiriath-jearim 7157.
18 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did not strike 5221 them because 3588 the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712 had sworn 7650 to them by the LORD 3068 the God 430 of Israel 3478. And the whole 3605 congregation 5712 grumbled 3885 against 5921 the leaders 5387.
19 But all 3605 the leaders 5387 said 559 to the whole 3605 congregation 5712, "We have sworn 7650 to them by the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, and now 6258 we cannot touch 5060 them.
20 "This 2088 we will do 6213 to them, even let them live 2421, so 3808 that wrath 7110 will not be upon us for the oath 7621 which 834 we swore 7650 to them."
21 The leaders 5387 said 559 to them, "Let them live 2421." So they became 1961 hewers 2404 of wood 2404 and drawers 7579 of water 4325 for the whole 3605 congregation 5712, just 3512 as the leaders 5387 had spoken 1696 to them.
22 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 called 7121 for them and spoke 1696 to them, saying 559, "Why 4100 have you deceived 7411 us, saying 559, 'We are very 3966 far 7350 from you,' when you are living 3427 within 7130 our land 7130?
23 "Now 6258 therefore, you are cursed 779, and you shall never 3808 cease 3772 being slaves 5650, both hewers 2404 of wood 2404 and drawers 7579 of water 4325 for the house 1004 of my God 430."
24 So they answered 6030 Joshua 3091 and said 559, "Because 3588 it was certainly 5046 told 5046 your servants 5650 that the LORD 3068 your God 430 had commanded 6680 His servant 5650 Moses 4872 to give 5414 you all 3605 the land 776, and to destroy 8045 all 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 before you; therefore we feared 3372 greatly 3966 for our lives 5315 because of you, and have done 6213 this 2088 thing 1697.
25 "Now 6258 behold 2009, we are in your hands 3027; do 6213 as it seems good 2896 and right 3477 in your sight 5869 to do 6213 to us."
26 Thus 3651 he did 6213 to them, and delivered 5337 them from the hands 3027 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and they did not kill 2026 them.
27 But Joshua 3091 made 5414 them that day 3117 hewers 2404 of wood 2404 and drawers 7579 of water 4325 for the congregation 5712 and for the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068, to this 2088 day 3117, in the place 4725 which 834 He would choose 977.

Now it came 1961 about when Adoni-zedek 139 king 4428 of Jerusalem 3389 heard 8085 that Joshua 3091 had captured 3920 Ai 5857, and had utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 it (just 3512 as he had done 6213 to Jericho 3405 and its king 4428, so 3651 he had done 6213 to Ai 5857 and its king 4428), and that the inhabitants 3427 of Gibeon 1391 had made 7999 peace 7999 with Israel 3478 and were within 7130 their land 7130,
2 that he feared 3372 greatly 3966, because 3588 Gibeon 1391 {was} a great 1419 city 5892, like one 259 of the royal 4467 cities 5892, and because 3588 it was greater 1419 than 4480 Ai 5857, and all 3605 its men 376 {were} mighty 1368.
3 Therefore Adoni-zedek 139 king 4428 of Jerusalem 3389 sent 7971 {word} to Hoham 1944 king 4428 of Hebron 2275 and to Piram 6502 king 4428 of Jarmuth 3412 and to Japhia 3309 king 4428 of Lachish 3923 and to Debir 1688 king 4428 of Eglon 5700, saying 559,
4 "Come 5927 up to me and help 5826 me, and let us attack 5221 Gibeon 1391, for it has made 7999 peace 7999 with Joshua 3091 and with the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
5 So the five 2568 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567, the king 4428 of Jerusalem 3389, the king 4428 of Hebron 2275, the king 4428 of Jarmuth 3412, the king 4428 of Lachish 3923, {and} the king 4428 of Eglon 5700, gathered 622 together and went 5927 up, they with all 3605 their armies 4264, and camped 2583 by Gibeon 1391 and fought 3898 against 5921 it.
6 ¶ Then the men 376 of Gibeon 1391 sent 7971 {word} to Joshua 3091 to the camp 4264 at Gilgal 1537, saying 559, "Do not abandon your servants 5650; come 5927 up to us quickly 4120 and save 3467 us and help 5826 us, for all 3605 the kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 that live 3427 in the hill 2022 country 2022 have assembled 6908 against 413 us."
7 So Joshua 3091 went 5927 up from Gilgal 1537, he and all 3605 the people 5971 of war 4421 with him and all 3605 the valiant 2428 warriors 1368.
8 The LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Do not fear 3372 them, for I have given 5414 them into your hands 3027; not one 376 of them shall stand 5975 before 6440 you."
9 So Joshua 3091 came 935 upon them suddenly 6597 by marching 5927 all 3605 night 3915 from Gilgal 1537.
10 And the LORD 3068 confounded 2000 them before 6440 Israel 3478, and He slew 5221 them with a great 1419 slaughter 4347 at Gibeon 1391, and pursued 7291 them by the way 1870 of the ascent 4608 of Beth-horon 1032 and struck 5221 them as far 5704 as Azekah 5825 and Makkedah 4719.
11 As they fled 5127 from before Israel 3478, {while} they were at the descent 4174 of Beth-horon 1032, the LORD 3068 threw 7993 large 1419 stones 68 from heaven 8064 on them as far 5704 as Azekah 5825, and they died 4191; {there were} more 7227 who 834 died 4191 from the hailstones than 4480 those whom 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 killed 2026 with the sword 2719.
12 ¶ Then 227 Joshua 3091 spoke 1696 to the LORD 3068 in the day 3117 when the LORD 3068 delivered 5414 up the Amorites 567 before 6440 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and he said 559 in the sight 5869 of Israel 3478, "O sun 8121, stand 1826 still 1826 at Gibeon 1391, And O moon 3394 in the valley 6010 of Aijalon 357."
13 So the sun 8121 stood 1826 still 1826, and the moon 3394 stopped 5975, Until 5704 the nation 1471 avenged 5358 themselves of their enemies 340. Is it not written 3789 in the book 5612 of Jashar 3477? And the sun 8121 stopped 5975 in the middle 2677 of the sky 8064 and did not hasten 213 to go 935 {down} for about a whole 8549 day 3117.
14 There was no 3808 day 3117 like that before 6440 it or after 310 it, when the LORD 3068 listened 8085 to the voice 6963 of a man 376; for the LORD 3068 fought 3898 for Israel 3478.
15 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him returned 7725 to the camp 4264 to Gilgal 1537.
16

Victory at Makkedah

¶ Now these 428 five 2568 kings 4428 had fled 5127 and hidden 2244 themselves in the cave 4631 at Makkedah 4719.
17 It was told 5046 Joshua 3091, saying 559, "The five 2568 kings 4428 have been found 4672 hidden 2244 in the cave 4631 at Makkedah 4719."
18 Joshua 3091 said 559, "Roll 1556 large 1419 stones 68 against 413 the mouth 6310 of the cave 4631, and assign 6485 men 376 by it to guard 8104 them,
19 but do not stay 5975 {there} yourselves 864; pursue 7291 your enemies 340 and attack 2179 them in the rear 2179. Do not allow 5414 them to enter 935 their cities 5892, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 has delivered 5414 them into your hand 3027."
20 It came 1961 about when Joshua 3091 and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 had finished 3615 slaying 5221 them with a very 3966 great 1419 slaughter 4347, until 5704 they were destroyed 8552, and the survivors 8300 {who} remained 8277 of them had entered 935 the fortified 4013 cities 5892,
21 that all 3605 the people 5971 returned 7725 to the camp 4264 to Joshua 3091 at Makkedah 4719 in peace 7965. No 3808 one uttered 2782 a word 3956 against any of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.
22 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 said 559, "Open 6605 the mouth 6310 of the cave 4631 and bring 3318 these 428 five 2568 kings 4428 out to me from the cave 4631."
23 They did 6213 so 3651, and brought 3318 these 428 five 2568 kings 4428 out to him from the cave 4631: the king 4428 of Jerusalem 3389, the king 4428 of Hebron 2275, the king 4428 of Jarmuth 3412, the king 4428 of Lachish 3923, {and} the king 4428 of Eglon 5700.
24 When they brought 3318 these 428 kings 4428 out to Joshua 3091, Joshua 3091 called 7121 for all 3605 the men 376 of Israel 3478, and said 559 to the chiefs 7101 of the men 376 of war 4421 who had gone 1980 with him, "Come 7126 near 7126, put 7760 your feet 7272 on the necks 6677 of these 428 kings 4428." So they came 7126 near 7126 and put 7760 their feet 7272 on their necks 6677.
25 Joshua 3091 then said 559 to them, "Do not fear 3372 or be dismayed 2865! Be strong 2388 and courageous 553, for thus 3602 the LORD 3068 will do 6213 to all 3605 your enemies 340 with whom 834 you fight 3898."
26 So afterward Joshua 3091 struck 5221 them and put 4191 them to death 4191, and he hanged 8518 them on five 2568 trees 6086; and they hung 8518 on the trees 6086 until 5704 evening 6153.
27 It came 1961 about at sunset that Joshua 3091 gave 6680 a command 6680, and they took 3381 them down 3381 from the trees 6086 and threw 7993 them into the cave 4631 where they had hidden 2244 themselves, and put 7760 large 1419 stones 68 over 5921 the mouth 6310 of the cave 4631, to this 2088 very 6106 day 3117.
28 ¶ Now Joshua 3091 captured 3920 Makkedah 4719 on that day 3117, and struck 5221 it and its king 4428 with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719; he utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 it and every 3605 person 5315 who 834 was in it. He left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300. Thus he did 6213 to the king 4428 of Makkedah 4719 just 3512 as he had done 6213 to the king 4428 of Jericho 3405.
29

Joshua's Conquest of Southern Palestine

¶ Then Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him passed 5674 on from Makkedah 4719 to Libnah 3841, and fought 3898 against 5973 Libnah 3841.
30 The LORD 3068 gave 5414 it also 1571 with its king 4428 into the hands 3027 of Israel 3478, and he struck 5221 it and every 3605 person 5315 who 834 {was} in it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719. He left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300 in it. Thus he did 6213 to its king 4428 just 3512 as he had done 6213 to the king 4428 of Jericho 3405.
31 ¶ And Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him passed 5674 on from Libnah 3841 to Lachish 3923, and they camped 2583 by it and fought 3898 against it.
32 The LORD 3068 gave 5414 Lachish 3923 into the hands 3027 of Israel 3478; and he captured 3920 it on the second 8145 day 3117, and struck 5221 it and every 3605 person 5315 who 834 {was} in it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, according to all 3605 that he had done 6213 to Libnah 3841.
33 ¶ Then 227 Horam 2036 king 4428 of Gezer 1507 came 5927 up to help 5826 Lachish 3923, and Joshua 3091 defeated 5221 him and his people 5971 until 5704 he had left 7604 him no 1115 survivor 8300.
34 ¶ And Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him passed 5674 on from Lachish 3923 to Eglon 5700, and they camped 2583 by it and fought 3898 against 5921 it.
35 They captured 3920 it on that day 3117 and struck 5221 it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719; and he utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 that day 3117 every 3605 person 5315 who 834 {was} in it, according to all 3605 that he had done 6213 to Lachish 3923.
36 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him went 5927 up from Eglon 5700 to Hebron 2275, and they fought 3898 against 5921 it.
37 They captured 3920 it and struck 5221 it and its king 4428 and all 3605 its cities 5892 and all 3605 the persons 5315 who 834 {were} in it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719. He left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300, according to all 3605 that he had done 6213 to Eglon 5700. And he utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 it and every 3605 person 5315 who 834 {was} in it.
38 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him returned 7725 to Debir 1688, and they fought 3898 against 5921 it.
39 He captured 3920 it and its king 4428 and all 3605 its cities 5892, and they struck 5221 them with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, and utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 every 3605 person 5315 {who was} in it. He left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300. Just 3512 as he had done 6213 to Hebron 2275, so 3651 he did 6213 to Debir 1688 and its king 4428, as he had also done 6213 to Libnah 3841 and its king 4428.
40 ¶ Thus Joshua 3091 struck 5221 all 3605 the land 776, the hill 2022 country 2022 and the Negev 5045 and the lowland 8219 and the slopes 794 and all 3605 their kings 4428. He left 7604 no 3808 survivor 8300, but he utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 all 3605 who 5397 breathed 5397, just 3512 as the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, had commanded 6680.
41 Joshua 3091 struck 5221 them from Kadesh-barnea 6947 even as far 5704 as Gaza 5804, and all 3605 the country 776 of Goshen 1657 even as far 5704 as Gibeon 1391.
42 Joshua 3091 captured 3920 all 3605 these 428 kings 4428 and their lands 776 at one 259 time 6471, because 3588 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, fought 3898 for Israel 3478.
43 So Joshua 3091 and all 3605 Israel 3478 with him returned 7725 to the camp 4264 at Gilgal 1537.

Northern Palestine Taken

Then it came 1961 about, when Jabin 2985 king 4428 of Hazor 2674 heard 8085 {of it,} that he sent 7971 to Jobab 3103 king 4428 of Madon 4068 and to the king 4428 of Shimron 8110 and to the king 4428 of Achshaph 407,
2 and to the kings 4428 who 834 were of the north 6828 in the hill 2022 country 2022, and in the Arabah 6160--south 5045 of Chinneroth 3672 and in the lowland 8219 and on the heights 5299 of Dor 1756 on the west 3220--
3 to the Canaanite 3669 on the east 4217 and on the west 3220, and the Amorite 567 and the Hittite 2850 and the Perizzite 6522 and the Jebusite 2983 in the hill 2022 country 2022, and the Hivite 2340 at the foot 8478 of Hermon 2768 in the land 776 of Mizpeh 4709.
4 They came 3318 out, they and all 3605 their armies 4264 with them, {as} many 7227 people 5971 as the sand 2344 that is on the seashore, with very 3966 many 7227 horses 5483 and chariots 7393.
5 So all 3605 of these 428 kings 4428 having agreed 3259 to meet 3259, came 935 and encamped 2583 together 3164 at the waters 4325 of Merom 4792, to fight 3898 against 5973 Israel 3478.
6 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "Do not be afraid 3372 because of them, for tomorrow 4279 at this 2088 time 6256 I will deliver 5414 all 3605 of them slain 2491 before 6440 Israel 3478; you shall hamstring 6136 their horses 5483 and burn 8313 their chariots 4818 with fire 784."
7 So Joshua 3091 and all 3605 the people 5971 of war 4421 with him came 935 upon them suddenly 6597 by the waters 4325 of Merom 4792, and attacked 5307 them.
8 The LORD 3068 delivered 5414 them into the hand 3027 of Israel 3478, so that they defeated 5221 them, and pursued 7291 them as far 5704 as Great 7227 Sidon 6721 and Misrephoth-maim 4956 and the valley 1237 of Mizpeh 4708 to the east 4217; and they struck 5221 them until 5704 no 1115 survivor 8300 was left 7604 to them.
9 Joshua 3091 did 6213 to them as the LORD 3068 had told 559 him; he hamstrung 6136 their horses 5483 and burned 8313 their chariots 4818 with fire 784.
10 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 turned 7725 back 7725 at that time 6256, and captured 3920 Hazor 2674 and struck 5221 its king 4428 with the sword 2719; for Hazor 2674 formerly 6440 was the head 7218 of all 3605 these 428 kingdoms 4467.
11 They struck 5221 every 3605 person 5315 who 834 was in it with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, utterly 2763 destroying 2763 {them;} there was no one left 3498 who 5397 breathed 5397. And he burned 8313 Hazor 2674 with fire 784.
12 Joshua 3091 captured 3920 all 3605 the cities 5892 of these 428 kings 4428, and all 3605 their kings 4428, and he struck 5221 them with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, {and} utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 them; just 3512 as Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680.
13 However 7534, Israel 3478 did not burn 8313 any 3605 cities 5892 that stood 5975 on their mounds 8510, except 2108 Hazor 2674 alone 905, {which} Joshua 3091 burned 8313.
14 All 3605 the spoil 7998 of these 428 cities 5892 and the cattle 929, the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 took 962 as their plunder 962; but they struck 5221 every 3605 man 120 with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, until 5704 they had destroyed 8045 them. They left 7604 no 3808 one 3605 who 5397 breathed 5397.
15 Just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872 his servant 5650, so 3651 Moses 4872 commanded 6680 Joshua 3091, and so 3651 Joshua 3091 did 6213; he left 5493 nothing undone of all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
16 ¶ Thus Joshua 3091 took 3947 all 3605 that land 776: the hill 2022 country 2022 and all 3605 the Negev 5045, all 3605 that land 776 of Goshen 1657, the lowland 8219, the Arabah 6160, the hill 2022 country 2022 of Israel 3478 and its lowland 8219
17 from Mount 2022 Halak 2510, that rises 5927 toward Seir 8165, even as far 5704 as Baal-gad 1171 in the valley 1237 of Lebanon 3844 at the foot 8478 of Mount 2022 Hermon 2768. And he captured 3920 all 3605 their kings 4428 and struck 5221 them down 5221 and put 4191 them to death 4191.
18 Joshua 3091 waged 6213 war 4421 a long 7227 time 3117 with all 3605 these 428 kings 4428.
19 There was not a city 5892 which 834 made 7999 peace 7999 with the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 except 1115 the Hivites 2340 living 3427 in Gibeon 1391; they took 3947 them all 3605 in battle 4421.
20 For it was of the LORD 3068 to harden 2388 their hearts 3820, to meet 7122 Israel 3478 in battle 4421 in order 4616 that he might utterly 2763 destroy 2763 them, that they might receive 1961 no 1115 mercy 8467, but that he might destroy 8045 them, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872.
21 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 came 935 at that time 6256 and cut 3772 off 3772 the Anakim 6062 from the hill 2022 country 2022, from Hebron 2275, from Debir 1688, from Anab 6024 and from all 3605 the hill 2022 country 2022 of Judah 3063 and from all 3605 the hill 2022 country 2022 of Israel 3478. Joshua 3091 utterly 2763 destroyed 2763 them with their cities 5892.
22 There were no 3808 Anakim 6062 left 3498 in the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; only 7534 in Gaza 5804, in Gath 1661, and in Ashdod 795 some remained 7604.
23 So Joshua 3091 took 3947 the whole 3605 land 776, according to all 3605 that the LORD 3068 had spoken 1696 to Moses 4872, and Joshua 3091 gave 5414 it for an inheritance 5159 to Israel 3478 according to their divisions 4256 by their tribes 7626. Thus the land 776 had 8252 rest 8252 from war 4421.

Kings Defeated by Israel

Now these 428 are the kings 4428 of the land 776 whom 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 defeated 5221, and whose land 776 they possessed 3423 beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383 toward the sunrise, from the valley 5158 of the Arnon 769 as far 5704 as Mount 2022 Hermon 2768, and all 3605 the Arabah 6160 to the east 4217:
2 Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who lived 3427 in Heshbon 2809, {and} ruled 4910 from Aroer 6177, which 834 is on the edge 8193 of the valley 5158 of the Arnon 769, both the middle 8432 of the valley 5158 and half 2677 of Gilead 1568, even as far 5704 as the brook 5158 Jabbok 2999, the border 1366 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983;
3 and the Arabah 6160 as far 5704 as the Sea 3220 of Chinneroth 3672 toward the east 4217, and as far 5704 as the sea 3220 of the Arabah 6160, {even} the Salt 4417 Sea 3220, eastward 4217 toward 1870 Beth-jeshimoth 1020, and on the south 8486, at the foot 8478 of the slopes 794 of Pisgah 6449;
4 and the territory 1366 of Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316, one of the remnant 3499 of Rephaim 7497, who lived 3427 at Ashtaroth 6252 and at Edrei 154,
5 and ruled 4910 over Mount 2022 Hermon 2768 and Salecah 5548 and all 3605 Bashan 1316, as far 5704 as the border 1366 of the Geshurites 1651 and the Maacathites 4602, and half 2677 of Gilead 1568, {as far as} the border 1366 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809.
6 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 defeated 5221 them; and Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 gave 5414 it to the Reubenites 7206 and the Gadites 1425 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 as a possession 3425.
7 ¶ Now these 428 are the kings 4428 of the land 776 whom 834 Joshua 3091 and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 defeated 5221 beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383 toward the west 3220, from Baal-gad 1171 in the valley 1237 of Lebanon 3844 even as far 5704 as Mount 2022 Halak 2510, which rises 5927 toward Seir 8165; and Joshua 3091 gave 5414 it to the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 as a possession 3425 according to their divisions 4256,
8 in the hill 2022 country 2022, in the lowland 8219, in the Arabah 6160, on the slopes 794, and in the wilderness 4057, and in the Negev 5045; the Hittite 2850, the Amorite 567 and the Canaanite 3669, the Perizzite 6522, the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983:

Canaan Divided among the Tribes

Now Joshua 3091 was old 2204 {and} advanced 935 in years 3117 when the LORD 3068 said 559 to him, "You are old 2204 {and} advanced 935 in years 3117, and very 3966 much 7235 of the land 776 remains 7604 to be possessed 3423.
2 "This 2088 is the land 776 that remains 7604: all 3605 the regions 1552 {of} the Philistines 6430 and all 3605 {those of} the Geshurites 1651;
3 from the Shihor 7883 which 834 is east of Egypt 4714, even as far 5704 as the border 1366 of Ekron 6138 to the north 6828 (it is counted 2803 as Canaanite 3669); the five 2568 lords 5633 of the Philistines 6430: the Gazite 5841, the Ashdodite 796, the Ashkelonite 832, the Gittite 1663, the Ekronite 6139; and the Avvite 5761
4 to the south 8486, all 3605 the land 776 of the Canaanite 3669, and Mearah 4632 that belongs to the Sidonians 6722, as far 5704 as Aphek 663, to the border 1366 of the Amorite 567;
5 and the land 776 of the Gebalite 1382, and all 3605 of Lebanon 3844, toward the east, from Baal-gad 1171 below 8478 Mount 2022 Hermon 2768 as far 5704 as Lebo-hamath 935.
6 "All 3605 the inhabitants 3427 of the hill 2022 country 2022 from Lebanon 3844 as far 5704 as Misrephoth-maim 4956, all 3605 the Sidonians 6722, I will drive 3423 them out from before the sons 1121 of Israel 3478; only 7534 allot 5307 it to Israel 3478 for an inheritance 5159 as I have commanded 6680 you.
7 "Now 6258 therefore, apportion 2505 this 2088 land 776 for an inheritance 5159 to the nine 8672 tribes 7626 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519."
8 ¶ With the other half-tribe, the Reubenites 7206 and the Gadites 1425 received 3947 their inheritance 5159 which 834 Moses 4872 gave 5414 them beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383 to the east 4217, just 3512 as Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 gave 5414 to them;
9 from Aroer 6177, which 834 is on the edge 8193 of the valley 5158 of the Arnon 769, with the city 5892 which 834 is in the middle 8432 of the valley 5158, and all 3605 the plain 4334 of Medeba 4311, as far 5704 as Dibon 1769;
10 and all 3605 the cities 5892 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567, who 834 reigned 4427 in Heshbon 2809, as far 5704 as the border 1366 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983;
11 and Gilead 1568, and the territory 1366 of the Geshurites 1651 and Maacathites 4602, and all 3605 Mount 2022 Hermon 2768, and all 3605 Bashan 1316 as far 5704 as Salecah 5548;
12 all 3605 the kingdom 4468 of Og 5747 in Bashan 1316, who 834 reigned 4427 in Ashtaroth 6252 and in Edrei 154 (he alone was left 7604 of the remnant 3499 of the Rephaim 7497); for Moses 4872 struck 5221 them and dispossessed 3423 them.
13 But the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did not dispossess 3423 the Geshurites 1651 or the Maacathites 4602; for Geshur 1650 and Maacath 4601 live 3427 among 7130 Israel 3478 until 5704 this 2088 day 3117.
14 Only 7534 to the tribe 7626 of Levi 3878 he did not give 5414 an inheritance 5159; the offerings 801 by fire 801 to the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, are their inheritance 5159, as He spoke 1696 to him.
15 ¶ So Moses 4872 gave 5414 {an inheritance} to the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 according to their families 4940.
16 Their territory 1366 was from Aroer 6177, which 834 is on the edge 8193 of the valley 5158 of the Arnon 769, with the city 5892 which 834 is in the middle 8432 of the valley 5158 and all 3605 the plain 4334 by Medeba 4311;
17 Heshbon 2809, and all 3605 its cities 5892 which 834 are on the plain 4334: Dibon 1769 and Bamoth-baal and Beth-baal-meon 1010,
18 and Jahaz 3096 and Kedemoth 6932 and Mephaath 4158,
19 and Kiriathaim 7156 and Sibmah 7643 and Zereth-shahar 6890 on the hill 2022 of the valley 6010,
20 and Beth-peor 1047 and the slopes 794 of Pisgah 6449 and Beth-jeshimoth 1020,
21 even all 3605 the cities 5892 of the plain 4334 and all 3605 the kingdom 4468 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of the Amorites 567 who 834 reigned 4427 in Heshbon 2809, whom 834 Moses 4872 struck 5221 with the chiefs 5387 of Midian 4080, Evi 189 and Rekem 7552 and Zur 6698 and Hur 2354 and Reba 7254, the princes 5257 of Sihon 5511, who lived 3427 in the land 776.
22 The sons 1121 of Israel 3478 also killed 2026 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160, the diviner 7080, with the sword 2719 among 413 {the rest of} their slain 2491.
23 The border 1366 of the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 was the Jordan 3383. This 2088 was the inheritance 5159 of the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 according to their families 4940, the cities 5892 and their villages 2691.
24 ¶ Moses 4872 also gave 5414 {an inheritance} to the tribe 4294 of Gad 1410, to the sons 1121 of Gad 1410, according to their families 4940.
25 Their territory 1366 was Jazer 3270, and all 3605 the cities 5892 of Gilead 1568, and half 2677 the land 776 of the sons 1121 of Ammon 5983, as far 5704 as Aroer 6177 which 834 is before Rabbah 7237;
26 and from Heshbon 2809 as far 5704 as Ramath-mizpeh 7434 and Betonim 993, and from Mahanaim 4266 as far 5704 as the border 1366 of Debir 1688;
27 and in the valley 6010, Beth-haram 1027 and Beth-nimrah 1039 and Succoth 5523 and Zaphon 6829, the rest 3499 of the kingdom 4468 of Sihon 5511 king 4428 of Heshbon 2809, with the Jordan 3383 as a border 1366, as far 5704 as the {lower} end 7097 of the Sea 3220 of Chinnereth 3672 beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383 to the east 4217.
28 This 2088 is the inheritance 5159 of the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 according to their families 4940, the cities 5892 and their villages 2691.
29 ¶ Moses 4872 also gave 5414 {an inheritance} to the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519; and it was for the half-tribe of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519 according to their families 4940.
30 Their territory 1366 was from Mahanaim 4266, all 3605 Bashan 1316, all 3605 the kingdom 4468 of Og 5747 king 4428 of Bashan 1316, and all 3605 the towns 2333 of Jair 2971, which 834 are in Bashan 1316, sixty 8346 cities 5892;
31 also half 2677 of Gilead 1568, with Ashtaroth 6252 and Edrei 154, the cities 5892 of the kingdom 4468 of Og 5747 in Bashan 1316, {were} for the sons 1121 of Machir 4353 the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519, for half 2677 of the sons 1121 of Machir 4353 according to their families 4940.
32 ¶ These 428 are {the territories} which 834 Moses 4872 apportioned 5157 for an inheritance 5157 in the plains 6160 of Moab 4124, beyond the Jordan 3383 at Jericho 3405 to the east 4217.
33 But to the tribe 7626 of Levi 3878, Moses 4872 did not give 5414 an inheritance 5159; the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, is their inheritance 5159, as He had promised 1696 to them.

## Chapter 14

Caleb's Request

Now these 428 are {the territories} which 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 inherited 5157 in the land 776 of Canaan 3667, which 834 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548, and Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, and the heads 7218 of the households 1 of the tribes 4294 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 apportioned 5157 to them for an inheritance 5157,
2 by the lot 1486 of their inheritance 5159, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 through 3027 Moses 4872, for the nine 8672 tribes 4294 and the half-tribe.
3 For Moses 4872 had given 5414 the inheritance 5159 of the two 8147 tribes 4294 and the half-tribe beyond the Jordan 3383; but he did not give 5414 an inheritance 5159 to the Levites 3881 among 8432 them.
4 For the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130 were two 8147 tribes 4294, Manasseh 4519 and Ephraim 669, and they did not give 5414 a portion 2506 to the Levites 3881 in the land 776, except cities 5892 to live 3427 in, with their pasture 4054 lands 4054 for their livestock 4735 and for their property 7075.
5 Thus 3651 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 just 3512 as the LORD 3068 had commanded 6680 Moses 4872, and they divided 2505 the land 776.
6 ¶ Then the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 drew 5066 near 5066 to Joshua 3091 in Gilgal 1537, and Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 the Kenizzite 7074 said 559 to him, "You know 3045 the word 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 the man 376 of God 430 concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea 6947.
7 "I was forty 705 years 8141 old 1121 when Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 sent 7971 me from Kadesh-barnea 6947 to spy 7270 out the land 776, and I brought 7725 word 1697 back 7725 to him as {it was} in my heart 3824.
8 "Nevertheless my brethren 251 who 834 went 5927 up with me made the heart 3820 of the people 5971 melt 4529 with fear 4529; but I followed 310 the LORD 3068 my God 430 fully 4390.
9 "So Moses 4872 swore 7650 on that day 3117, saying 559, 'Surely the land 776 on which 834 your foot 7272 has trodden 1869 will be an inheritance 5159 to you and to your children 1121 forever, because 3588 you have followed 310 the LORD 3068 my God 430 fully 4390.'
10 "Now 6258 behold 2009, the LORD 3068 has let me live 2421, just 3512 as He spoke 1696, these 2088 forty-five years 8141, from the time 227 that the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 this 2088 word 1697 to Moses 4872, when 834 Israel 3478 walked 1980 in the wilderness 4057; and now 6258 behold 2009, I am eighty-five 8084 years 8141 old 1121 today 3117.
11 "I am still 5750 as strong 2389 today 3117 as I was in the day 3117 Moses 4872 sent 7971 me; as my strength 3581 was then 227, so my strength 3581 is now 6258, for war 4421 and for going 3318 out and coming 935 in.
12 "Now 6258 then, give 5414 me this 2088 hill 2022 country 2022 about which 834 the LORD 3068 spoke 1696 on that day 3117, for you heard 8085 on that day 3117 that Anakim 6062 {were} there 8033, with great 1419 fortified 1219 cities 5892; perhaps 194 the LORD 3068 will be with me, and I will drive 3423 them out as the LORD 3068 has spoken 1696."
13 ¶ So Joshua 3091 blessed 1288 him and gave 5414 Hebron 2275 to Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 for an inheritance 5159.
14 Therefore, Hebron 2275 became 1961 the inheritance 5159 of Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 the Kenizzite 7074 until 5704 this 2088 day 3117, because he followed 310 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 fully 4390.
15 Now the name 8034 of Hebron 2275 was formerly 6440 Kiriath-arba 7153; {for Arba} was the greatest 1419 man 120 among the Anakim 6062. Then the land 776 had 8252 rest 8252 from war 4421.

Territory of Judah

Now the lot 1486 for the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 according to their families 4940 reached 1961 the border 1366 of Edom 112, southward 5045 to the wilderness 4057 of Zin 6790 at the extreme 7097 south 8486.
2 Their south 5045 border 1366 was from the lower end 7097 of the Salt 4417 Sea 3220, from the bay 3956 that turns 6437 to the south 5045.
3 Then it proceeded 3318 southward 5045 to the ascent 4610 of Akrabbim 4610 and continued 5674 to Zin 6790, then went 5927 up by the south 5045 of Kadesh-barnea 6947 and continued 5674 to Hezron 2696, and went 5927 up to Addar 146 and turned 5437 about 5437 to Karka 7173.
4 It continued 5674 to Azmon 6111 and proceeded 3318 to the brook 5158 of Egypt 4714, and the border 1366 ended at the sea 3220. This 2088 shall be your south 5045 border 1366.
5 The east 6924 border 1366 {was} the Salt 4417 Sea 3220, as far 5704 as the mouth 7097 of the Jordan 3383. And the border 1366 of the north 6828 side 6285 was from the bay 3956 of the sea 3220 at the mouth 7097 of the Jordan 3383.
6 Then the border 1366 went 5927 up to Beth-hoglah 1031, and continued 5674 on the north 6828 of Beth-arabah 1026, and the border 1366 went 5927 up to the stone 68 of Bohan 932 the son 1121 of Reuben 7205.
7 The border 1366 went 5927 up to Debir 1688 from the valley 6010 of Achor 5911, and turned 6437 northward 6828 toward 413 Gilgal 1537 which 834 is opposite 5227 the ascent 4608 of Adummim 131, which 834 is on the south 5045 of the valley 5158; and the border 1366 continued 5674 to the waters 4325 of En-shemesh 5885 and it ended at En-rogel 5883.
8 Then the border 1366 went 5927 up the valley 1516 of Ben-hinnom to the slope 3802 of the Jebusite 2983 on the south 5045 (that is, Jerusalem 3389); and the border 1366 went 5927 up to the top 7218 of the mountain 2022 which 834 is before the valley 1516 of Hinnom 2011 to the west 3220, which 834 is at the end 7097 of the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497 toward the north 6828.
9 From the top 7218 of the mountain 2022 the border 1366 curved 8388 to the spring 4599 of the waters 4325 of Nephtoah 5318 and proceeded 3318 to the cities 5892 of Mount 2022 Ephron 6085, then the border 1366 curved 8388 to Baalah 1173 (that is, Kiriath-jearim 7157).
10 The border 1366 turned 5437 about 5437 from Baalah 1173 westward 3220 to Mount 2022 Seir 8165, and continued 5674 to the slope 3802 of Mount 2022 Jearim 3297 on the north 6828 (that is, Chesalon 3693), and went 3381 down 3381 to Beth-shemesh 1053 and continued 5674 through 5674 Timnah 8553.
11 The border 1366 proceeded 3318 to the side 3802 of Ekron 6138 northward 6828. Then the border 1366 curved 8388 to Shikkeron 7942 and continued 5674 to Mount 2022 Baalah 1173 and proceeded 3318 to Jabneel 2995, and the border 1366 ended at the sea 3220.
12 The west 3220 border 1366 {was} at the Great 1419 Sea 3220, even {its} coastline 1366. This 2088 is the border 1366 around 5439 the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 according to their families 4940.
13 ¶ Now he gave 5414 to Caleb 3612 the son 1121 of Jephunneh 3312 a portion 2506 among 8432 the sons 1121 of Judah 3063, according 413 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 to Joshua 3091, {namely,} Kiriath-arba 7153, {Arba being} the father 1 of Anak 6061 (that is, Hebron 2275).
14 Caleb 3612 drove 3423 out from there 8033 the three 7969 sons 1121 of Anak 6061: Sheshai 8344 and Ahiman 289 and Talmai 8526, the children 3211 of Anak 6061.
15 Then he went 5927 up from there 8033 against 413 the inhabitants 3427 of Debir 1688; now the name 8034 of Debir 1688 formerly 6440 was Kiriath-sepher 7158.
16 And Caleb 3612 said 559, "The one who 834 attacks 5221 Kiriath-sepher 7158 and captures 3920 it, I will give 5414 him Achsah 5915 my daughter 1323 as a wife 802."
17 Othniel 6274 the son 1121 of Kenaz 7073, the brother 251 of Caleb 3612, captured 3920 it; so he gave 5414 him Achsah 5915 his daughter 1323 as a wife 802.
18 It came 1961 about that when she came 935 {to him,} she persuaded 5496 him to ask 7592 her father 1 for a field 7704. So she alighted 6795 from the donkey 2543, and Caleb 3612 said 559 to her, "What 4100 do you want?"
19 Then she said 559, "Give 5414 me a blessing 1293; since 3588 you have given 5414 me the land 776 of the Negev 5045, give 5414 me also springs 1543 of water 4325." So he gave 5414 her the upper 5942 springs 1543 and the lower 8482 springs 1543.
20 ¶ This 2088 is the inheritance 5159 of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 according to their families 4940.
21 ¶ Now the cities 5892 at the extremity 7097 of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 toward 413 the border 1366 of Edom 112 in the south 5045 were Kabzeel 6909 and Eder 5740 and Jagur 3017,

Territory of Ephraim

Then the lot 1486 for the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130 went 3318 from the Jordan 3383 at Jericho 3405 to the waters 4325 of Jericho 3405 on the east 4217 into the wilderness 4057, going 5927 up from Jericho 3405 through the hill 2022 country 2022 to Bethel 1008.
2 It went 3318 from Bethel 1008 to Luz 3870, and continued 5674 to the border 1366 of the Archites 757 at Ataroth 5852.
3 It went 3381 down 3381 westward 3220 to the territory 1366 of the Japhletites 3311, as far 5704 as the territory 1366 of lower 8481 Beth-horon 1032 even to Gezer 1507, and it ended at the sea 3220.
4 ¶ The sons 1121 of Joseph 3130, Manasseh 4519 and Ephraim 669, received 5157 their inheritance 5157.
5 Now {this} was the territory 1366 of the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 according to their families 4940: the border 1366 of their inheritance 5159 eastward 4217 was Ataroth-addar 5853, as far 5704 as upper 5945 Beth-horon 1032.
6 Then the border 1366 went 3318 westward 3220 at Michmethath 4366 on the north 6828, and the border 1366 turned 5437 about 5437 eastward 4217 to Taanath-shiloh 8387 and continued 5674 {beyond} it to the east 4217 of Janoah 3239.
7 It went 3381 down 3381 from Janoah 3239 to Ataroth 5852 and to Naarah 5292, then reached 6293 Jericho 3405 and came 3318 out at the Jordan 3383.
8 From Tappuah 8599 the border 1366 continued 1980 westward 3220 to the brook 5158 of Kanah 7071, and it ended at the sea 3220. This 2088 is the inheritance 5159 of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 according to their families 4940,
9 {together} with the cities 5892 which were set 3995 apart 3995 for the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669 in the midst 8432 of the inheritance 5159 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519, all 3605 the cities 5892 with their villages 2691.
10 But they did not drive 3423 out the Canaanites 3669 who lived 3427 in Gezer 1507, so the Canaanites 3669 live 3427 in the midst 7130 of Ephraim 669 to this 2088 day 3117, and they became 1961 forced 4522 laborers.

## Chapter 17

Territory of Manasseh

Now {this} was the lot 1486 for the tribe 4294 of Manasseh 4519, for he was the firstborn 1060 of Joseph 3130. To Machir 4353 the firstborn 1060 of Manasseh 4519, the father 1 of Gilead 1568, were allotted 1961 Gilead 1568 and Bashan 1316, because 3588 he was a man 376 of war 4421.
2 So {the lot} was {made} for the rest 3498 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519 according to their families 4940: for the sons 1121 of Abiezer 44 and for the sons 1121 of Helek 2507 and for the sons 1121 of Asriel 844 and for the sons 1121 of Shechem 7928 and for the sons 1121 of Hepher 2660 and for the sons 1121 of Shemida 8061; these 428 {were} the male 2145 descendants 1121 of Manasseh 4519 the son 1121 of Joseph 3130 according to their families 4940.
3 ¶ However, Zelophehad 6765, the son 1121 of Hepher 2660, the son 1121 of Gilead 1568, the son 1121 of Machir 4353, the son 1121 of Manasseh 4519, had 1961 no 3808 sons 1121, only daughters 1323; and these 428 are the names 8034 of his daughters 1323: Mahlah 4244 and Noah 5270, Hoglah 2295, Milcah 4435 and Tirzah 8656.
4 They came 7126 near 7126 before 6440 Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and before 6440 Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 and before 6440 the leaders 5387, saying 559, "The LORD 3068 commanded 6680 Moses 4872 to give 5414 us an inheritance 5159 among 8432 our brothers 251." So according 413 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 he gave 5414 them an inheritance 5159 among 8432 their father's 1 brothers 251.
5 Thus there fell 5307 ten 6235 portions 2256 to Manasseh 4519, besides the land 776 of Gilead 1568 and Bashan 1316, which 834 is beyond the Jordan 3383,
6 because 3588 the daughters 1323 of Manasseh 4519 received 5157 an inheritance 5159 among 8432 his sons 1121. And the land 776 of Gilead 1568 belonged 1961 to the rest 3498 of the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519.
7 ¶ The border 1366 of Manasseh 4519 ran 1961 from Asher 836 to Michmethath 4366 which 834 was east of Shechem 7927; then the border 1366 went 1980 southward 3225 to the inhabitants 3427 of En-tappuah 5887.
8 The land 776 of Tappuah 8599 belonged 1961 to Manasseh 4519, but Tappuah 8599 on the border 1366 of Manasseh 4519 {belonged} to the sons 1121 of Ephraim 669.
9 The border 1366 went 3381 down 3381 to the brook 5158 of Kanah 7071, southward 5045 of the brook 5158 (these 428 cities 5892 {belonged} to Ephraim 669 among 8432 the cities 5892 of Manasseh 4519), and the border 1366 of Manasseh 4519 {was} on the north 6828 side 6828 of the brook 5158 and it ended at the sea 3220.
10 The south 5045 side 5045 {belonged} to Ephraim 669 and the north 6828 side 6828 to Manasseh 4519, and the sea 3220 was their border 1366; and they reached 6293 to Asher 836 on the north 6828 and to Issachar 3485 on the east 4217.
11 In Issachar 3485 and in Asher 836, Manasseh 4519 had 1961 Beth-shean 1052 and its towns 1323 and Ibleam 2991 and its towns 1323, and the inhabitants 3427 of Dor 1756 and its towns 1323, and the inhabitants 3427 of En-dor 5874 and its towns 1323, and the inhabitants 3427 of Taanach 8590 and its towns 1323, and the inhabitants 3427 of Megiddo 4023 and its towns 1323, the third 7969 is Napheth 5316.
12 But the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519 could 3201 not take 3423 possession 3423 of these 428 cities 5892, because the Canaanites 3669 persisted 2974 in living 3427 in that land 776.
13 It came 1961 about when 3588 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 became 2388 strong 2388, they put 5414 the Canaanites 3669 to forced 4522 labor 4522, but they did not drive 3423 them out completely 3423.
14 ¶ Then the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130 spoke 1696 to Joshua 3091, saying 559, "Why 4069 have you given 5414 me only one 259 lot 1486 and one 259 portion 2256 for an inheritance 5159, since I am a numerous 7227 people 5971 whom 834 the LORD 3068 has thus 3541 far 5704 blessed 1288?"
15 Joshua 3091 said 559 to them, "If 518 you are a numerous 7227 people 5971, go 5927 up to the forest 3293 and clear 1254 a place for yourself there 8033 in the land 776 of the Perizzites 6522 and of the Rephaim 7497, since 3588 the hill 2022 country 2022 of Ephraim 669 is too narrow 213 for you."
16 The sons 1121 of Joseph 3130 said 559, "The hill 2022 country 2022 is not enough 4672 for us, and all 3605 the Canaanites 3669 who live 3427 in the valley 6010 land 776 have chariots 7393 of iron 1270, both those who 834 are in Beth-shean 1052 and its towns 1323 and those who 834 are in the valley 6010 of Jezreel 3157."
17 Joshua 3091 spoke 559 to the house 1004 of Joseph 3130, to Ephraim 669 and Manasseh 4519, saying 559, "You are a numerous 7227 people 5971 and have great 1419 power 3581; you shall not have 1961 one 259 lot 1486 {only,}
18 but the hill 2022 country 2022 shall be yours. For though it is a forest 3293, you shall clear 1254 it, and to its farthest 8444 borders 8444 it shall be yours; for you shall drive 3423 out the Canaanites 3669, even 3588 though 3588 they have chariots 7393 of iron 1270 {and} though 3588 they are strong 2389."

Rest of the Land Divided

Then the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 assembled 6950 themselves at Shiloh 7887, and set 7931 up the tent 168 of meeting 4150 there 8033; and the land 776 was subdued 3533 before 6440 them.
2 ¶ There remained 3498 among the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 seven 7651 tribes 7626 who 834 had not divided 2505 their inheritance 5159.
3 So Joshua 3091 said 559 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, "How 575 long 5704 will you put 7503 off 7503 entering 935 to take 3423 possession 3423 of the land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of your fathers 1, has given 5414 you?
4 "Provide 3051 for yourselves three 7969 men 376 from each tribe 7626 that I may send 7971 them, and that they may arise 6965 and walk 1980 through the land 776 and write 3789 a description of it according 6310 to their inheritance 5159; then they shall return 935 to me.
5 "They shall divide 2505 it into seven 7651 portions 2506; Judah 3063 shall stay 5975 in its territory 1366 on the south 5045, and the house 1004 of Joseph 3130 shall stay 5975 in their territory 1366 on the north 6828.
6 "You shall describe 3789 the land 776 in seven 7651 divisions 2506, and bring 935 {the description} here 2008 to me. I will cast 3384 lots 1486 for you here 6311 before 6440 the LORD 3068 our God 430.
7 "For the Levites 3881 have 369 no 369 portion 2506 among 7130 you, because 3588 the priesthood 3550 of the LORD 3068 is their inheritance 5159. Gad 1410 and Reuben 7205 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 also have received 3947 their inheritance 5159 eastward 4217 beyond the Jordan 3383, which 834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 gave 5414 them."
8 ¶ Then the men 376 arose 6965 and went 1980, and Joshua 3091 commanded 6680 those who went 1980 to describe 3789 the land 776, saying 559, "Go 1980 and walk 1980 through the land 776 and describe 3789 it, and return 7725 to me; then I will cast 7993 lots 1486 for you here 6311 before 6440 the LORD 3068 in Shiloh 7887."
9 So the men 376 went 1980 and passed 5674 through the land 776, and described 3789 it by cities 5892 in seven 7651 divisions 2506 in a book 5612; and they came 935 to Joshua 3091 to the camp 4264 at Shiloh 7887.
10 And Joshua 3091 cast 7993 lots 1486 for them in Shiloh 7887 before 6440 the LORD 3068, and there 8033 Joshua 3091 divided 2505 the land 776 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 according to their divisions 4256.

The Territory of Benjamin

¶ Now the lot 1486 of the tribe 4294 of the sons 1121 of Benjamin 1144 came 5927 up according to their families 4940, and the territory 1366 of their lot 1486 lay 3318 between 996 the sons 1121 of Judah 3063 and the sons 1121 of Joseph 3130.
12 Their border 1366 on the north 6828 side 6285 was from the Jordan 3383, then the border 1366 went 5927 up to the side 3802 of Jericho 3405 on the north 6828, and went 5927 up through the hill 2022 country 2022 westward 3220, and it ended at the wilderness 4057 of Beth-aven 1007.
13 From there 8033 the border 1366 continued 5674 to Luz 3870, to the side 3802 of Luz 3870 (that is, Bethel 1008) southward 5045; and the border 1366 went 3381 down 3381 to Ataroth-addar 5853, near 5921 the hill 2022 which 834 {lies} on the south 5045 of lower 8481 Beth-horon 1032.
14 The border 1366 extended 8388 {from there} and turned 5437 round 5437 on the west 3220 side 6285 southward 5045, from the hill 2022 which 834 {lies} before Beth-horon 1032 southward 5045; and it ended at Kiriath-baal 7154 (that is, Kiriath-jearim 7157), a city 5892 of the sons 1121 of Judah 3063. This 2088 {was} the west 3220 side 6285.
15 Then the south 5045 side 6285 {was} from the edge 7097 of Kiriath-jearim 7157, and the border 1366 went 3318 westward 3220 and went 3318 to the fountain 4599 of the waters 4325 of Nephtoah 5318.
16 The border 1366 went 3381 down 3381 to the edge 7097 of the hill 2022 which 834 is in the valley 1516 of Ben-hinnom, which 834 is in the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497 northward 6828; and it went 3381 down 3381 to the valley 1516 of Hinnom 2011, to the slope 3802 of the Jebusite 2983 southward 5045, and went 3381 down 3381 to En-rogel 5883.
17 It extended 8388 northward 6828 and went 3318 to En-shemesh 5885 and went 3318 to Geliloth 1553, which 834 is opposite 5227 the ascent 4608 of Adummim 131, and it went 3381 down 3381 to the stone 68 of Bohan 932 the son 1121 of Reuben 7205.

2 "Speak 1696 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, saying 559, 'Designate 5414 the cities 5892 of refuge 4733, of which 834 I spoke 1696 to you through 3027 Moses 4872,
3 that the manslayer 7523 who kills 5221 any person 5315 unintentionally 7684, without 1097 premeditation 1847, may flee 5127 there 8033, and they shall become 1961 your refuge 4733 from the avenger 1350 of blood 1818.
4 'He shall flee 5127 to one 259 of these 428 cities 5892, and shall stand 5975 at the entrance 6607 of the gate 8179 of the city 5892 and state 1696 his case 1697 in the hearing 241 of the elders 2205 of that city 5892; and they shall take 622 him into the city 5892 to them and give 5414 him a place 4725, so that he may dwell 3427 among 5973 them.
5 'Now if 3588 the avenger 1350 of blood 1818 pursues 7291 him, then they shall not deliver 5462 the manslayer 7523 into his hand 3027, because 3588 he struck 5221 his neighbor 7453 without 1097 premeditation 1847 and did not hate 8130 him beforehand.
6 'He shall dwell 3427 in that city 5892 until 5704 he stands 5975 before 6440 the congregation 5712 for judgment 4941, until 5704 the death 4194 of the one who 834 is high 1419 priest 3548 in those 1992 days 3117. Then 227 the manslayer 7523 shall return to his own city 5892 and to his own house 1004, to the city 5892 from which 834 he fled 5127.'"
7 ¶ So they set 6942 apart 6942 Kedesh 6943 in Galilee 1551 in the hill 2022 country 2022 of Naphtali 5321 and Shechem 7927 in the hill 2022 country 2022 of Ephraim 669, and Kiriath-arba 7153 (that is, Hebron 2275) in the hill 2022 country 2022 of Judah 3063.

33 All 3605 the cities 5892 of the Gershonites 1649 according to their families 4940 were thirteen cities 5892 with their pasture 4054 lands 4054.
34 ¶ To the families 4940 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847, the rest 3498 of the Levites 3881, {they gave} from the tribe 4294 of Zebulun 2074, Jokneam 3362 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054 and Kartah 7177 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054.
35 Dimnah 1829 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054, Nahalal 5096 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054; four 702 cities 5892.
36 From the tribe 4294 of Reuben 7205, {they gave} Bezer 1221 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054 and Jahaz 3096 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054,
37 Kedemoth 6932 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054 and Mephaath 4158 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054; four 702 cities 5892.
38 From the tribe 4294 of Gad 1410, {they gave} Ramoth 7216 in Gilead 1568, the city 5892 of refuge 4733 for the manslayer 7523, with its pasture 4054 lands 4054 and Mahanaim 4266 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054,
39 Heshbon 2809 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054, Jazer 3270 with its pasture 4054 lands 4054; four 702 cities 5892 in all 3605.
40 All 3605 {these were} the cities 5892 of the sons 1121 of Merari 4847 according to their families 4940, the rest 3498 of the families 4940 of the Levites 3881; and their lot 1486 was twelve cities 5892.
41 ¶ All 3605 the cities 5892 of the Levites 3881 in the midst 8432 of the possession 272 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 were forty-eight cities 5892 with their pasture 4054 lands 4054.
42 These 428 cities 5892 each 5892 had 1961 its surrounding 5439 pasture 4054 lands 4054; thus 3651 {it was} with all 3605 these 428 cities 5892.
43 ¶ So the LORD 3068 gave 5414 Israel 3478 all 3605 the land 776 which 834 He had sworn 7650 to give 5414 to their fathers 1, and they possessed 3423 it and lived 3427 in it.
44 And the LORD 3068 gave 5117 them rest 5117 on every 5439 side 5439, according to all 3605 that He had sworn 7650 to their fathers 1, and no 3808 one 376 of all 3605 their enemies 340 stood 5975 before 6440 them; the LORD 3068 gave 5414 all 3605 their enemies 340 into their hand 3027.
45 Not one 1697 of the good 2896 promises 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 had made 1696 to the house 1004 of Israel 3478 failed 5307; all 3605 came 935 to pass 935.

Tribes beyond Jordan Return

Then 227 Joshua 3091 summoned 7121 the Reubenites 7206 and the Gadites 1425 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519,
2 and said 559 to them, "You have kept 8104 all 3605 that Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 you, and have listened 8085 to my voice 6963 in all 3605 that I commanded 6680 you.
3 "You have not forsaken 5800 your brothers 251 these 2088 many 7227 days 3117 to this 2088 day 3117, but have kept 8104 the charge 4931 of the commandment 4687 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.
4 "And now 6258 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5117 rest 5117 to your brothers 251, as He spoke 1696 to them; therefore turn 6437 now 6258 and go 1980 to your tents 168, to the land 776 of your possession 272, which 834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 gave 5414 you beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383.
5 "Only 7534 be very 3966 careful 8104 to observe 6213 the commandment 4687 and the law 8451 which 834 Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 you, to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430 and walk 1980 in all 3605 His ways 1870 and keep 8104 His commandments 4687 and hold 1692 fast 1692 to Him and serve 5647 Him with all 3605 your heart 3824 and with all 3605 your soul 5315."
6 So Joshua 3091 blessed 1288 them and sent 7971 them away 7971, and they went 1980 to their tents 168.
7 ¶ Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 Moses 4872 had given 5414 {a possession} in Bashan 1316, but to the other half 2677 Joshua 3091 gave 5414 {a possession} among 5973 their brothers 251 westward 3220 beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383. So when 3588 Joshua 3091 sent 7971 them away 7971 to their tents 168, he blessed 1288 them,
8 and said 559 to them, "Return 7725 to your tents 168 with great 7227 riches 5233 and with very 3966 much 7227 livestock 4735, with silver 3701, gold 2091, bronze 5178, iron 1270, and with very 3966 many 7235 clothes 8008; divide 2505 the spoil 7998 of your enemies 340 with your brothers 251."
9 The sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 returned 7725 {home} and departed 1980 from the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 at Shiloh 7887 which 834 is in the land 776 of Canaan 3667, to go 1980 to the land 776 of Gilead 1568, to the land 776 of their possession 272 which 834 they had possessed 270, according 5921 to the command 6310 of the LORD 3068 through 3027 Moses 4872.

The Offensive Altar

¶ When they came 935 to the region 1552 of the Jordan 3383 which 834 is in the land 776 of Canaan 3667, the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 built 1129 an altar 4196 there 8033 by the Jordan 3383, a large 1419 altar 4196 in appearance 4758.
11 And the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 heard 8085 {it} said 559, "Behold 2009, the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 have built 1129 an altar 4196 at the frontier 4136 of the land 776 of Canaan 3667, in the region 1552 of the Jordan 3383, on the side 5676 {belonging to} the sons 1121 of Israel 3478."
12 When the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 heard 8085 {of it,} the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 gathered 6950 themselves at Shiloh 7887 to go 5927 up against 5921 them in war 6635.
13 ¶ Then the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 sent 7971 to the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and to the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and to the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, into the land 776 of Gilead 1568, Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499 the priest 3548,
14 and with him ten 6235 chiefs 5387, one 259 chief 5387 for each father's 1 household 1004 from each 3605 of the tribes 4294 of Israel 3478; and each 376 one 376 of them {was} the head 7218 of his father's 1 household 1004 among the thousands 505 of Israel 3478.
15 They came 935 to the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and to the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and to the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519, to the land 776 of Gilead 1568, and they spoke 1696 with them saying 559,
16 "Thus 3541 says 559 the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of the LORD 3068, 'What 4100 is this 2088 unfaithful 4604 act 4604 which 834 you have committed 4603 against the God 430 of Israel 3478, turning 7725 away 7725 from following 310 the LORD 3068 this day 3117, by building 1129 yourselves an altar 4196, to rebel 4775 against the LORD 3068 this day 3117?
17 'Is not the iniquity 5771 of Peor 6465 enough 4592 for us, from which 834 we have not cleansed 2891 ourselves to this 2088 day 3117, although a plague 5063 came 1961 on the congregation 5712 of the LORD 3068,
18 that you must turn 7725 away 7725 this day 3117 from following 310 the LORD 3068? If you rebel 4775 against the LORD 3068 today 3117, He will be angry 7107 with the whole 3605 congregation 5712 of Israel 3478 tomorrow 4279.
19 'If 518, however 389, the land 776 of your possession 272 is unclean 2931, then cross 5674 into the land 776 of the possession 272 of the LORD 3068, where the LORD'S 3068 tabernacle 4908 stands 7931, and take 270 possession 270 among 8432 us. Only do not rebel 4775 against the LORD 3068, or rebel 4775 against 854 us by building 1129 an altar 4196 for yourselves, besides the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 our God 430.
20 'Did not Achan 5912 the son 1121 of Zerah 2226 act 4603 unfaithfully 4604 in the things 2764 under 2764 the ban 2764, and wrath 7110 fall 1961 on all 3605 the congregation 5712 of Israel 3478? And that man 376 did not perish 1478 alone 259 in his iniquity 5771.'"
21 ¶ Then the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the half-tribe of Manasseh 4519 answered 6030 and spoke 1696 to the heads 7218 of the families 505 of Israel 3478.
22 "The Mighty 410 One 410, God 430, the LORD 3068, the Mighty 410 One 410, God 430, the LORD 3068! He knows 3045, and may Israel 3478 itself 1931 know 3045. If 518 {it was} in rebellion 4777, or if 518 in an unfaithful 4604 act 4604 against the LORD 3068 do not save 3467 us this 2088 day 3117!
23 "If we have built 1129 us an altar 4196 to turn 7725 away 7725 from following 310 the LORD 3068, or if 518 to offer 5927 a burnt 5930 offering 5930 or grain offering 4503 on it, or if 518 to offer 6213 sacrifices 2077 of peace 8002 offerings 8002 on it, may the LORD 3068 Himself 1931 require 1245 it.
24 "But truly we have done 6213 this 2088 out of concern 1674, for a reason 1697, saying 559, 'In time 4279 to come 4279 your sons 1121 may say 559 to our sons 1121, "What 4100 have you to do with the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478?
25 "For the LORD 3068 has made 5414 the Jordan 3383 a border 1366 between 996 us and you, {you} sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and sons 1121 of Gad 1410; you have 369 no 369 portion 2506 in the LORD 3068." So your sons 1121 may make our sons 1121 stop 1115 fearing 3372 the LORD 3068.'
26 ¶ "Therefore we said 559, 'Let us build an altar 4196, not for burnt 5930 offering 5930 or for sacrifice 2077;
27 rather 3588 it shall be a witness 5707 between 996 us and you and between 996 our generations 1755 after 310 us, that we are to perform 5647 the service 5656 of the LORD 3068 before 6440 Him with our burnt 5930 offerings 5930, and with our sacrifices 2077 and with our peace 8002 offerings 8002, so 3808 that your sons 1121 will not say 559 to our sons 1121 in time 4279 to come 4279, "You have 369 no 369 portion 2506 in the LORD 3068."'
28 "Therefore we said 559, 'It shall also come 1961 about if 3588 they say 559 {this} to us or to our generations 1755 in time 4279 to come 4279, then we shall say 559, "See 7200 the copy 8403 of the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 which 834 our fathers 1 made 6213, not for burnt 5930 offering 5930 or for sacrifice 2077; rather 3588 it is a witness 5707 between 996 us and you."'
29 "Far 2486 be it from us that we should rebel 4775 against the LORD 3068 and turn 7725 away 7725 from following 310 the LORD 3068 this day 3117, by building 1129 an altar 4196 for burnt 5930 offering 5930, for grain offering 4503 or for sacrifice 2077, besides the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 our God 430 which 834 is before 6440 His tabernacle 4908."
30 ¶ So when Phinehas 6372 the priest 3548 and the leaders 5387 of the congregation 5712, even the heads 7218 of the families 505 of Israel 3478 who 834 {were} with him, heard 8085 the words 1697 which 834 the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519 spoke 1696, it pleased them.
31 And Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 said 559 to the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and to the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 and to the sons 1121 of Manasseh 4519, "Today 3117 we know 3045 that the LORD 3068 is in our midst 8432, because 834 you have not committed 4603 this 2088 unfaithful 4604 act 4604 against the LORD 3068; now 227 you have delivered 5337 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 from the hand 3027 of the LORD 3068."
32 ¶ Then Phinehas 6372 the son 1121 of Eleazar 499 the priest 3548 and the leaders 5387 returned 7725 from the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and from the sons 1121 of Gad 1410, from the land 776 of Gilead 1568 to the land 776 of Canaan 3667, to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and brought 7725 back 7725 word 1697 to them.
33 The word 1697 pleased the sons 1121 of Israel 3478, and the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 blessed 1288 God 430; and they did not speak 559 of going 5927 up against 5921 them in war 6635 to destroy 7843 the land 776 in which 834 the sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 were living 3427.
34 The sons 1121 of Reuben 7205 and the sons 1121 of Gad 1410 called 7121 the altar 4196 {Witness;} "For," {they said,} "it is a witness 5707 between 996 us that the LORD 3068 is God 430."

Joshua's Farewell Address

Now it came 1961 about after 310 many 7227 days 3117, when the LORD 3068 had given 5117 rest 5117 to Israel 3478 from all 3605 their enemies 340 on every 5439 side 5439, and Joshua 3091 was old 2204, advanced 935 in years 3117,
2 that Joshua 3091 called 7121 for all 3605 Israel 3478, for their elders 2205 and their heads 7218 and their judges 8199 and their officers 7860, and said 559 to them, "I am 2204 old 2204, advanced 935 in years 3117.
3 "And you have seen 7200 all 3605 that the LORD 3068 your God 430 has done 6213 to all 3605 these 428 nations 1471 because of you, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is He who has been fighting 3898 for you.
4 "See 7200, I have apportioned 5307 to you these 428 nations 1471 which remain 7604 as an inheritance 5159 for your tribes 7626, with all 3605 the nations 1471 which 834 I have cut 3772 off 3772, from the Jordan 3383 even to the Great 1419 Sea 3220 toward the setting 3996 of the sun 8121.
5 "The LORD 3068 your God 430, He will thrust 1920 them out from before 6440 you and drive 3423 them from before 6440 you; and you will possess 3423 their land 776, just 3512 as the LORD 3068 your God 430 promised 1696 you.
6 "Be very 3966 firm 2388, then, to keep 8104 and do 6213 all 3605 that is written 3789 in the book 5612 of the law 8451 of Moses 4872, so that you may not turn 5493 aside 5493 from it to the right 3225 hand 3225 or to the left 8040,
7 so 1115 that you will not associate 935 with these 428 nations 1471, these 428 which remain 7604 among 854 you, or mention 2142 the name 8034 of their gods 430, or make {anyone} swear 7650 {by them,} or serve 5647 them, or bow 7812 down 7812 to them.
8 "But you are to cling 1692 to the LORD 3068 your God 430, as you have done 6213 to this 2088 day 3117.
9 "For the LORD 3068 has driven 3423 out great 1419 and strong 6099 nations 1471 from before 6440 you; and as for you, no 3808 man 376 has stood 5975 before 6440 you to this 2088 day 3117.
10 "One 259 of your men 376 puts 7291 to flight 7291 a thousand 505, for the LORD 3068 your God 430 is He who fights 3898 for you, just 3512 as He promised 1696 you.
11 "So take 8104 diligent 3966 heed 8104 to yourselves 5315 to love 157 the LORD 3068 your God 430.
12 "For if 518 you ever 7725 go 7725 back 7725 and cling 1692 to the rest 3499 of these 428 nations 1471, these 428 which remain 7604 among 854 you, and intermarry 2859 with them, so that you associate 935 with them and they with you,
13 know 3045 with certainty 3045 that the LORD 3068 your God 430 will not continue 3254 to drive 3423 these 428 nations 1471 out from before 6440 you; but they will be a snare 6341 and a trap 4170 to you, and a whip 7850 on your sides 6654 and thorns 6796 in your eyes 5869, until 5704 you perish 6 from off 5921 this 2088 good 2896 land 127 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you.
14 ¶ "Now behold 2009, today 3117 I am going 1980 the way 1870 of all 3605 the earth 776, and you know 3045 in all 3605 your hearts 3824 and in all 3605 your souls 5315 that not one 259 word 1697 of all 3605 the good 2896 words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 spoke 1696 concerning 5921 you has failed 5307; all 3605 have been fulfilled 935 for you, not one 259 of them has failed 5307.
15 "It shall come 1961 about that just 3512 as all 3605 the good 2896 words 1697 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 spoke 1696 to you have come 935 upon you, so 3651 the LORD 3068 will bring 935 upon you all 3605 the threats, until 5704 He has destroyed 8045 you from off 5921 this 2088 good 2896 land 776 which 834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 has given 5414 you.
16 "When you transgress 5674 the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, which 834 He commanded 6680 you, and go 1980 and serve 5647 other 312 gods 430 and bow 7812 down 7812 to them, then the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 will burn 2734 against you, and you will perish 6 quickly 4120 from off 5921 the good 2896 land 776 which 834 He has given 5414 you."

Joshua Reviews Israel's History

Then Joshua 3091 gathered 622 all 3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 to Shechem 7927, and called 7121 for the elders 2205 of Israel 3478 and for their heads 7218 and their judges 8199 and their officers 7860; and they presented 3320 themselves before 6440 God 430.
2 Joshua 3091 said 559 to all 3605 the people 5971, "Thus 3541 says 559 the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478, 'From ancient 5769 times 5769 your fathers 1 lived 3427 beyond 5676 the River 5104, {namely,} Terah 8646, the father 1 of Abraham 85 and the father 1 of Nahor 5152, and they served 5647 other 312 gods 430.
3 'Then I took 3947 your father 1 Abraham 85 from beyond the River 5104, and led 1980 him through all 3605 the land 776 of Canaan 3667, and multiplied 7235 his descendants 2233 and gave 5414 him Isaac 3327.
4 'To Isaac 3327 I gave 5414 Jacob 3290 and Esau 6215, and to Esau 6215 I gave 5414 Mount 2022 Seir 8165 to possess 3423 it; but Jacob 3290 and his sons 1121 went 3381 down 3381 to Egypt 4714.
5 'Then I sent 7971 Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, and I plagued 5062 Egypt 4714 by what 834 I did 6213 in its midst 7130; and afterward 310 I brought 3318 you out.
6 'I brought 3318 your fathers 1 out of Egypt 4714, and you came 935 to the sea 3220; and Egypt 4714 pursued 7291 your fathers 1 with chariots 7393 and horsemen 6571 to the Red Sea 3220.
7 'But when they cried 6817 out to the LORD 3068, He put 7760 darkness 3990 between 996 you and the Egyptians 4713, and brought 935 the sea 3220 upon them and covered 3680 them; and your own eyes 5869 saw 7200 what 834 I did 6213 in Egypt 4714. And you lived 3427 in the wilderness 4057 for a long 7227 time 3117.
8 'Then I brought 935 you into the land 776 of the Amorites 567 who lived 3427 beyond 5676 the Jordan 3383, and they fought 3898 with you; and I gave 5414 them into your hand 3027, and you took 3423 possession 3423 of their land 776 when I destroyed 8045 them before 6440 you.
9 'Then Balak 1111 the son 1121 of Zippor 6834, king 4428 of Moab 4124, arose 6965 and fought 3898 against Israel 3478, and he sent 7971 and summoned 7121 Balaam 1109 the son 1121 of Beor 1160 to curse 7043 you.
10 'But I was not willing 14 to listen 8085 to Balaam 1109. So he had 1288 to bless 1288 you, and I delivered 5337 you from his hand 3027.
11 'You crossed 5674 the Jordan 3383 and came 935 to Jericho 3405; and the citizens 1167 of Jericho 3405 fought 3898 against you, {and} the Amorite 567 and the Perizzite 6522 and the Canaanite 3669 and the Hittite 2850 and the Girgashite 1622, the Hivite 2340 and the Jebusite 2983. Thus I gave 5414 them into your hand 3027.
12 'Then I sent 7971 the hornet 6880 before 6440 you and it drove 1644 out the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 from before you, {but} not by your sword 2719 or your bow 7198.
13 'I gave 5414 you a land 776 on which 834 you had not labored 3021, and cities 5892 which 834 you had not built 1129, and you have lived 3427 in them; you are eating 398 of vineyards 3754 and olive 2132 groves 2132 which 834 you did not plant 5193.'

``We Will Serve the L\{ORD}/"

¶ "Now 6258, therefore, fear 3372 the LORD 3068 and serve 5647 Him in sincerity 8549 and truth 571; and put 5493 away 5493 the gods 430 which 834 your fathers 1 served 5647 beyond 5676 the River 5104 and in Egypt 4714, and serve 5647 the LORD 3068.
15 "If 518 it is disagreeable 7489 in your sight 5869 to serve 5647 the LORD 3068, choose 977 for yourselves today 3117 whom 4310 you will serve 5647: whether 518 the gods 430 which 834 your fathers 1 served 5647 which 834 were beyond 5676 the River 5104, or the gods 430 of the Amorites 567 in whose 834 land 776 you are living 3427; but as for me and my house 1004, we will serve 5647 the LORD 3068."
16 ¶ The people 5971 answered 6030 and said 559, "Far 2486 be it from us that we should forsake 5800 the LORD 3068 to serve 5647 other 312 gods 430;
17 for the LORD 3068 our God 430 is He who brought 5927 us and our fathers 1 up out of the land 776 of Egypt 4714, from the house 1004 of bondage 5650, and who 834 did 6213 these 428 great 1419 signs 226 in our sight 5869 and preserved 8104 us through all 3605 the way 1870 in which 834 we went 1980 and among all 3605 the peoples 5971 through whose 834 midst 7130 we passed 5674.
18 "The LORD 3068 drove 1644 out from before 6440 us all 3605 the peoples 5971, even the Amorites 567 who lived 3427 in the land 776. We also 1571 will serve 5647 the LORD 3068, for He is our God 430."
19 ¶ Then Joshua 3091 said 559 to the people 5971, "You will not be able 3201 to serve 5647 the LORD 3068, for He is a holy 6918 God 430. He is a jealous 7072 God 410; He will not forgive 5375 your transgression 6588 or your sins 2403.
20 "If 3588 you forsake 5800 the LORD 3068 and serve 5647 foreign 5236 gods 430, then He will turn 7725 and do 7489 you harm 7489 and consume 3615 you after 310 He has done 3190 good 3190 to you."
21 The people 5971 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "No 3808, but we will serve 5647 the LORD 3068."
22 Joshua 3091 said 559 to the people 5971, "You are witnesses 5707 against yourselves that you have chosen 977 for yourselves the LORD 3068, to serve 5647 Him." And they said 559, "We are witnesses 5707."
23 "Now 6258 therefore, put 5493 away 5493 the foreign 5236 gods 430 which 834 are in your midst 7130, and incline 5186 your hearts 3824 to the LORD 3068, the God 430 of Israel 3478."
24 The people 5971 said 559 to Joshua 3091, "We will serve 5647 the LORD 3068 our God 430 and we will obey 8085 His voice 6963."
25 So Joshua 3091 made 3772 a covenant 1285 with the people 5971 that day 3117, and made 7760 for them a statute 2706 and an ordinance 4941 in Shechem 7927.
26 And Joshua 3091 wrote 3789 these 428 words 1697 in the book 5612 of the law 8451 of God 430; and he took 3947 a large 1419 stone 68 and set 6965 it up there 8033 under 8478 the oak 427 that was by the sanctuary 4720 of the LORD 3068.
27 Joshua 3091 said 559 to all 3605 the people 5971, "Behold 2009, this 2088 stone 68 shall be for a witness 5713 against us, for it has heard 8085 all 3605 the words 561 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He spoke 1696 to us; thus it shall be for a witness 5713 against you, so 6435 that you do not deny 3584 your God 430."
28 Then Joshua 3091 dismissed 7971 the people 5971, each 376 to his inheritance 5159.

Joshua's Death and Burial

¶ It came 1961 about after 310 these 428 things 1697 that Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126, the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068, died 4191, being one hundred 3967 and ten 6235 years 8141 old 1121.
30 And they buried 6912 him in the territory 1366 of his inheritance 5159 in Timnath-serah 8556, which 834 is in the hill 2022 country 2022 of Ephraim 669, on the north 6828 of Mount 2022 Gaash 1608.
31 ¶ Israel 3478 served 5647 the LORD 3068 all 3605 the days 3117 of Joshua 3091 and all 3605 the days 3117 of the elders 2205 who 834 survived Joshua 3091, and had known 3045 all 3605 the deeds 4639 of the LORD 3068 which 834 He had done 6213 for Israel 3478.
32 ¶ Now they buried 6912 the bones 6106 of Joseph 3130, which 834 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 brought 5927 up from Egypt 4714, at Shechem 7927, in the piece 2513 of ground 7704 which 834 Jacob 3290 had bought 7069 from the sons 1121 of Hamor 2544 the father 1 of Shechem 7927 for one hundred 3967 pieces 7192 of money 7192; and they became 1961 the inheritance 5159 of Joseph's 3130 sons 1121.
33 And Eleazar 499 the son 1121 of Aaron 175 died 4191; and they buried 6912 him at Gibeah 1390 of Phinehas 6372 his son 1121, which 834 was given 5414 him in the hill 2022 country 2022 of Ephraim 669.
