Joshua 1:2
"Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I give to them, [even] to the Children of Israel.
Joshua 1:3
Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon, that I have given to you, as I said to Moses.
Joshua 1:4
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even to the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the great sea toward the setting of the sun, will be your coast.
Joshua 1:5
There, no man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with you, I will not fail you, nor forsake you.
Joshua 1:6
Be strong and of a good courage, for you will divide for an inheritance the land to this people, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Joshua 1:7
Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded you, do not turn from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
Joshua 1:8
This Book of the law will not depart out of your mouth; but you will meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein, for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; do not be afraid, neither be dismayed, for the Lord your God [is] with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:10
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Joshua 1:11
"Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, 'Prepare victuals; for within three days you will pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God gives you to possess it.'"
Joshua 1:12
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua spoke, saying,
Joshua 1:13
"Remember the word which Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you, saying, 'The Lord your God has given you rest, and has given you this land.'
Joshua 1:14
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, will remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you will pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
Joshua 1:15
Until the Lord has given your brethren rest, as [He has given to] you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God gives them, then you will return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on this side of Jordan toward the sunrising."
Joshua 1:16
And they answered Joshua, saying, "All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go.
Joshua 1:17
Accordingly as we listened to Moses in all things, so we will hear you, only the Lord your God is with you, as He was with Moses.
Joshua 1:18
Whoever [he is] who rebels against your commandment, and will not hear your words in all that you command him, he will be put to death, only be strong and of a good courage."
Joshua 2:1
And Joshua, the son of Nun, sent out two men of Shittim to spy secretly, saying, "Go view the land, even Jericho." And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Joshua 2:2
And it was told to the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men came in here tonight of the Children of Israel to search out the country."
Joshua 2:3
And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring forth the men who are brought to you, who have entered into your house, for they have come to search out all the country."
Joshua 2:4
And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, "Men came to me, but I did not know from where they [were].
Joshua 2:5
And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out, where the men went, I do not know, pursue after them quickly; for you will overtake them."
Joshua 2:6
But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
Joshua 2:7
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan to the fords, and as soon as those who pursued after them had gone out, they shut the gate.
Joshua 2:8
And before they were laid down, she came up to them upon the roof;
Joshua 2:9
And she said to the men, "I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that your terror has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Joshua 2:10
For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the other side of Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
Joshua 2:11
And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you, for the Lord your God, He [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
Joshua 2:12
Now therefore, please swear to me by the Lord, since I have shown you kindness, that you will also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token.
Joshua 2:13
And [that] you will save my father alive, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death."
Joshua 2:14
And the men answered her, "Our life for yours, if you do not utter our business. And it will be, when the Lord has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."
Joshua 2:15
Then she let them down by a cord through the window, for her house [was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Joshua 2:16
And she said to them, "Get to the mountain, unless the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned, and afterward you may go your way."
Joshua 2:17
And the men said to her, "We [will be] blameless of your oath which you have made us swear.
Joshua 2:18
Behold, [when] we come into the land, you will bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you let us down by, and you will bring your father, and your mother, and your brethren, and all your father's household, home to you.
Joshua 2:19
And it will be, [that] whoever will go out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood [will be] upon his head, and we [will be] guiltless, and whoever will be with you in the house, his blood [will be] on our head, if [any] hand is upon him.
Joshua 2:20
And if you utter our business, then we will be innocent of your oath which you have made us to swear."
Joshua 2:21
And she said, "According to your words, so [be] it." And she sent them away, and they departed, and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Joshua 2:22
And they went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned, and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but did not find [them].
Joshua 2:23
So the two men returned and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua, the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell them.
Joshua 2:24
And they said to Joshua, "Truly the Lord has delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country faint because of us."
Joshua 3:1
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the Children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Joshua 3:2
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Joshua 3:3
And they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you will remove from your place, and go after it.
Joshua 3:4
Yet there will be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure, do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed [this] way three days ago."
Joshua 3:5
And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you."
Joshua 3:6
And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people." And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Joshua 3:7
And the Lord said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with you.
Joshua 3:8
And you will command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, 'When you are brought to the brink of the water of Jordan, you will stand still in Jordan.'"
Joshua 3:9
And Joshua said to the Children of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of the Lord your God."
Joshua 3:10
And Joshua said, "Hereby you will know that the living God [is] among you, and [that] He will, without failure, drive out the Canaanites from before you, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Joshua 3:11
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into Jordan.
Joshua 3:12
Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
Joshua 3:13
And it will come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, will rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan will be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they will stand upon a heap."
Joshua 3:14
And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
Joshua 3:15
And as those who bore the ark were brought to Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark were dipped in the brim of the water (for Jordan overflows all his banks all the time of harvest),
Joshua 3:16
That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon a heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan, and those who came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the Salt Sea, failed, [and] were cut off, and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Joshua 3:17
And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had passed clean over Jordan. *Book of Enoch 89:39
Joshua 4:1
And it came to pass, when all the people had cleanly passed over Jordan, that the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:2
"Take twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe,
Joshua 4:3
And command them, saying, 'Take from here out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and you will carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where you will lodge this night.'"
Joshua 4:4
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared from the Children of Israel, a man out of every tribe.
Joshua 4:5
And Joshua said to them, "Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of Jordan, and take up, every man of you, a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Children of Israel.
Joshua 4:6
That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, 'What [do you mean] by these stones?'
Joshua 4:7
Then you will answer them, 'That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off, and these stones will be for a memorial to the Children of Israel forever.'"
Joshua 4:8
And the Children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the Lord spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the Children of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Joshua 4:9
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood, and they are there to this day.
Joshua 4:10
For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the Lord commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people hasted and passed over.
Joshua 4:11
And it came to pass, when all the people had cleanly passed over, that the ark of the Lord passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
Joshua 4:12
And the Children of Reuben, and the Children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the Children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them.
Joshua 4:13
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the Lord to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 4:14
On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Joshua 4:15
And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:16
"Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan."
Joshua 4:17
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up out of Jordan."
Joshua 4:18
And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were brought up out of the midst of Jordan, [and] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned to their place, and flowed over all his banks, as [they did] before.
Joshua 4:19
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
Joshua 4:20
And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, Joshua pitched in Gilgal.
Joshua 4:21
And he spoke to the Children of Israel, saying, "When your children will ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What [do] these stones [mean]?'
Joshua 4:22
Then you will let your children know, saying, 'Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
Joshua 4:23
For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until you had passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up from before us, until we had gone over.
Joshua 4:24
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it [is] mighty, that you might fear the Lord your God forever.'"
Joshua 5:1
And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who [were] by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the Children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their hearts melted, neither was there spirit in them anymore, because of the Children of Israel.
Joshua 5:2
At that time the Lord said to Joshua, "Make sharp knives, and circumcise again the Children of Israel the second time."
Joshua 5:3
And Joshua made sharp knives, and circumcised the Children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Joshua 5:4
And this [is] the cause why Joshua circumcised, all the people who came out of Egypt, [who were] males, [even] all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Joshua 5:5
Now all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people [who were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised [them].
Joshua 5:6
For the Children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the people [who were] men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord, to whom the Lord swore that He would not show them the land, which the Lord swore to their fathers that He would give to us, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Joshua 5:7
And their children, [whom] He raised up in their stead, Joshua circumcised them, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Joshua 5:8
And it came to pass, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, until they were whole.
Joshua 5:9
And the Lord said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
Joshua 5:10
And the Children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 5:11
And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] in the selfsame day.
Joshua 5:12
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither did the Children of Israel have manna anymore; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Joshua 5:13
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him, and said to him, "[Are] you for us, or for our adversaries?"
Joshua 5:14
And he said, "No; but I have now come [as] captain of the host of the Lord." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and prostrated, and said to him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"
Joshua 5:15
And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, "Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand [is] holy." And Joshua did so.
Joshua 6:1
Now Jericho was straightly shut up because of the Children of Israel, none went out, and none came in.
Joshua 6:2
And the Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have given Jericho into your hand, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valor.
Joshua 6:3
And you will encompass the city, all [you] men of war, [and] go around the city once. Thus you will do for six days.
Joshua 6:4
And seven priests will bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark, and the seventh day you will encompass the city seven times, and the priests will blow with the trumpets.
Joshua 6:5
And it will come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people will shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will ascend up, every man straight before him.
Joshua 6:6
And Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord."
Joshua 6:7
And he said to the people, "Pass on, and encompass the city, and let him who is armed pass on before the ark of the Lord."
Joshua 6:8
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the Lord, and blew with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.
Joshua 6:9
And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Joshua 6:10
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, "You will not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither will [any] word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you to shout; then you will shout."
Joshua 6:11
So the ark of the Lord encompassed the city, going about [it] once, and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Joshua 6:12
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
Joshua 6:13
And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew with the trumpets, and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Joshua 6:14
And the second day they encompassed the city once, and returned into the camp, so they did for six days.
Joshua 6:15
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and encompassed the city after the same manner seven times, only on that day they encompassed the city seven times.
Joshua 6:16
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout; for the Lord has given you the city.
Joshua 6:17
And the city will be accursed, [even] it and all who [are] therein, to the Lord, only Rahab the harlot will live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
Joshua 6:18
And you, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the accursed thing, unless you make [yourselves] accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Joshua 6:19
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, [are] consecrated to the Lord, they will come into the treasury of the Lord."
Joshua 6:20
So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the trumpets, and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Joshua 6:21
And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 6:22
But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, "Go into the harlot's house, and bring the woman out from there, and all that she has, as you swore to her."
Joshua 6:23
And the young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of Israel.
Joshua 6:24
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was] therein, only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.
Joshua 6:25
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel [even] to this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Joshua 6:26
And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying, "Cursed [is] the man before the Lord, who rises up and builds this city Jericho, he will lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest [son] he will set up the gates of it."
Joshua 6:27
So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised] throughout all the country.
Joshua 7:1
But the Children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the Children of Israel.
Joshua 7:2
And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, "Go up and view the country." And the men went up and viewed Ai.
Joshua 7:3
And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai; [and] do not make all the people to labor there; for they [are but] few."
Joshua 7:4
So there went up there of the people about three thousand men, and they fled before the men of Ai.
Joshua 7:5
And the men of Ai struck of them, about thirty six men, for they chased them [from] before the gate [even] to Shebarim, and struck them in the going down, therefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Joshua 7:6
And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
Joshua 7:7
And Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord God, why have You at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would God [will that] we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of Jordan!
Joshua 7:8
O Lord, what will I say, when Israel turns their backs before their enemies!
Joshua 7:9
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear [of it], and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do to Your great name?"
Joshua 7:10
And the Lord said to Joshua, "Get up; why do you lie thus upon your face?
Joshua 7:11
Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and also dissembled, and they have put [it] even among their own stuff.
Joshua 7:12
Therefore the Children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because they were accursed, neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.
Joshua 7:13
[Get] up, sanctify the people, and say, 'Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, for thus the Lord says God of Israel, '[There is] an accursed thing in the midst of you, O Israel, you cannot stand before your enemies, until you take away the accursed thing from among you.'
Joshua 7:14
In the morning therefore you will be brought according to your tribes, and it will be, [that] the tribe which the Lord takes will come according to the families [thereof]; and the family which the Lord will take will come by households; and the household which the Lord will take will come man by man.
Joshua 7:15
And it will be, [that] he who is taken with the accursed thing will be burnt with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done folly in Israel."
Joshua 7:16
So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken.
Joshua 7:17
And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites, and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken.
Joshua 7:18
And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Joshua 7:19
And Joshua said to Achan, "My son, please give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide [it] from me."
Joshua 7:20
And Achan answered Joshua, and said, "Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
Joshua 7:21
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it."
Joshua 7:22
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, [it was] hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:23
And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the Children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.
Joshua 7:24
And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the valley of Achor.
Joshua 7:25
And Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day." And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
Joshua 7:26
And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day.
Joshua 8:1
And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear, neither be dismayed, take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai, see, I have given the king of Ai into your hand, and his people, and his city, and his land.
Joshua 8:2
And you will do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, you will take for a prey to yourselves; lay an ambush for the city behind it."
Joshua 8:3
So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai, and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
Joshua 8:4
And he commanded them, saying, "Behold, you will lie in wait against the city, [even] behind the city, do not go very far from the city, but be all ready.
Joshua 8:5
And I, and all the people who [are] with me, will approach the city, and it will come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
Joshua 8:6
(For they will come out after us) until we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, 'They flee before us, as at the first, therefore we will flee before them.'
Joshua 8:7
Then you will rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city, for the Lord your God will deliver it into your hand.
Joshua 8:8
And it will be, when you have taken the city, [that] you will set the city on fire, according to the commandment of the Lord you will do. See, I have commanded you."
Joshua 8:9
Joshua therefore sent them forth, and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai, but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Joshua 8:10
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Joshua 8:11
And all the people, [even the people] of war who [were] with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai, now [there was] a valley between them and Ai.
Joshua 8:12
And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Joshua 8:13
And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Joshua 8:14
And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hastened and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he did not know that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the city.
Joshua 8:15
And Joshua and all Israel made [it] as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Joshua 8:16
And all the people who [were] in Ai were called together to pursue after them, and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Joshua 8:17
And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, who did not go out after Israel, and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Joshua 8:18
And the Lord said to Joshua, "Stretch out the spear that [is] in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city.
Joshua 8:19
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and they entered into the city, and took it, and hastened and set the city on fire.
Joshua 8:20
And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way, and the people who fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
Joshua 8:21
And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
Joshua 8:22
And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side, and they struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Joshua 8:23
And they took alive the king of Ai, and brought him to Joshua.
Joshua 8:24
And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they had all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 8:25
And [so] it was, [that] all who fell that day, both of men and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai.
Joshua 8:26
For Joshua did not draw his hand back, whereby he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Joshua 8:27
Only the cattle and the spoil of that city did Israel take for a prey to themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua.
Joshua 8:28
And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, [even] a desolation to this day.
Joshua 8:29
And the king of Ai, he hanged on a tree until evening, and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcass down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, [that remain] to this day.
Joshua 8:30
Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel in Mount Ebal,
Joshua 8:31
As Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded the Children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man has lifted up [any] iron, and they offered thereon burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
Joshua 8:32
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the Children of Israel.
Joshua 8:33
And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well the stranger, as he who was born among them; half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal; as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Joshua 8:34
And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the Book of the law.
Joshua 8:35
There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers who were conversant among them.
Joshua 9:1
And it came to pass, when all the kings who [were] on this side of Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [thereof];
Joshua 9:2
That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Joshua 9:3
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
Joshua 9:4
They worked trickery, and went and made [it] as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
Joshua 9:5
And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] moldy.
Joshua 9:6
And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country, now therefore make a league with us."
Joshua 9:7
And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you dwell among us; and how will we make a league with you?"
Joshua 9:8
And they said to Joshua, "We [are] your servants." And Joshua said to them, "Who [are] you? And from where did you come?"
Joshua 9:9
And they said to him, "From a very far country, your servants are brought because of the name of the Lord your God, for we have heard the fame of Him, and all that He did in Egypt,
Joshua 9:10
And all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites, who [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, who [was] at Ashtaroth.
Joshua 9:11
Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, 'We [are] your servants,' therefore now make a league with us.
Joshua 9:12
We took this, our bread, hot [for] our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is moldy.
Joshua 9:13
And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were] new; and, behold, they are rent, and these, our garments and our shoes, have become old by reason of the very long journey."
Joshua 9:14
And the men took of their victuals, and did not ask [counsel] at the mouth of the Lord.
Joshua 9:15
And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live, and the princes of the congregation swore to them.
Joshua 9:16
And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbors, and [that] they dwelt among them.
Joshua 9:17
And the Children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
Joshua 9:18
And the Children of Israel did not strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Joshua 9:19
But all the princes said to all the congregation, "We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, now therefore we may not touch them.
Joshua 9:20
This we will do to them; we will even let them live, unless wrath is upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them."
Joshua 9:21
And the princes said to them, "Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation; as the princes had promised them."
Joshua 9:22
And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, "Why have you beguiled us, saying, 'We [are] very far from you; when you dwell among us?'
Joshua 9:23
Now therefore you [are] cursed, and none of you will be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."
Joshua 9:24
And they answered Joshua, and said, "Because it was certainly told to your servants, how the Lord your God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
Joshua 9:25
And now, behold, we [are] in your hand, as it seems good and right to you to do to us, do."
Joshua 9:26
And so he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the Children of Israel, that they did not slay them.
Joshua 9:27
And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.
Joshua 10:1
Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek, king of Jerusalem, had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; *33:61 - 62 as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Joshua 10:2
That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all the men thereof [were] mighty.
Joshua 10:3
Therefore Adonizedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
Joshua 10:4
"Come up to me, and help me, that we may strike Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the Children of Israel."
Joshua 10:5
Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Joshua 10:6
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, "Do not slacken your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us."
Joshua 10:7
So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
Joshua 10:8
And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them will stand before you."
Joshua 10:9
Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, [and] went up from Gilgal all night.
Joshua 10:10
And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goes up to Bethhoron, and struck them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.
Joshua 10:11
And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and] were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died, [they were] more who died with hailstones than [those] whom the Children of Israel slew with the sword.
Joshua 10:12
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the Children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand still upon Gibeon; and Moon, in the valley of Ajalon."
Joshua 10:13
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] this not written in the Book of Jasher? *Book of Jasher 88:63 - 64 So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down about a whole day. *28:72
Joshua 10:14
And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord listened to the voice of a man, for the Lord fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:15
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Joshua 10:16
But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Joshua 10:17
And it was told to Joshua, saying, "The five kings are found hidden in a cave at Makkedah."
Joshua 10:18
And Joshua said, "Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them.
Joshua 10:19
And do not stay, [but] pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; do not allow them to enter into their cities, for the Lord your God has delivered them into your hand."
Joshua 10:20
And it came to pass, when Joshua and the Children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, that the rest [who] remained of them entered into fenced cities.
Joshua 10:21
And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace, none moved his tongue against any of the Children of Israel.
Joshua 10:22
Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings to me out of the cave."
Joshua 10:23
And they did so, and brought forth those five kings to him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.
Joshua 10:24
And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, "Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings." And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
Joshua 10:25
And Joshua said to them, "Do not fear, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage, for thus the Lord will do to all your enemies against whom you fight."
Joshua 10:26
And afterward Joshua struck them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees, and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Joshua 10:27
And it came to pass at the time of the setting of the sun, [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, [which remains] until this very day.
Joshua 10:28
And that day, Joshua took Makkedah, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, he utterly destroyed, them and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain, and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:29
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and fought against Libnah.
Joshua 10:30
And the Lord delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain in it; but did to the king thereof as he did to the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:31
And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it.
Joshua 10:32
And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Joshua 10:33
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left none remaining.
Joshua 10:34
And from Lachish, Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it.
Joshua 10:35
And they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein, he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Joshua 10:36
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.
Joshua 10:37
And they took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but utterly destroyed it, and all the souls that [were] therein.
Joshua 10:38
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it.
Joshua 10:39
And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining, as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had also done to Libnah, and to her king.
Joshua 10:40
So Joshua struck all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings, he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all who breathed, as the Lord God of Israel commanded. *33:61 - 62
Joshua 10:41
And Joshua struck them from Kadeshbarnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
Joshua 10:42
And Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:43
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
Joshua 11:1
And it came to pass, when Jabin, king of Hazor, had heard [those things], that he sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Joshua 11:2
And to the kings who [were] on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
Joshua 11:3
[And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and [to] the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
Joshua 11:4
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, many people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
Joshua 11:5
And when all these kings had met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
Joshua 11:6
And the Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver them up all slain before Israel, you will hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."
Joshua 11:7
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
Joshua 11:8
And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephothmaim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they struck them, until they left none remaining.
Joshua 11:9
And Joshua did to them as the Lord bade him, he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
Joshua 11:10
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and struck the king thereof with the sword, for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
Joshua 11:11
And they struck all the souls that [were] therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them], there were not any left to breathe, and he burnt Hazor with fire.
Joshua 11:12
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, Joshua took, and struck them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, *33:61 - 62 as Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded.
Joshua 11:13
But [as for] the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only; [that] Joshua burned.
Joshua 11:14
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the Children of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither did they leave any to breathe.
Joshua 11:15
As the Lord commanded Moses, His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:16
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
Joshua 11:17
[Even] from the Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon, and he took all their kings and struck them, and slew them.
Joshua 11:18
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Joshua 11:19
There was not a city that made peace with the Children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon, all [others] they took in battle.
Joshua 11:20
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, [and] that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:21
And at that time Joshua came and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel, Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
Joshua 11:22
There were none of the Anakims left in the land of the Children of Israel, only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
Joshua 11:23
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Joshua 12:1
Now these [are] the kings of the land, whom the Children of Israel struck, and possessed their land on the other side of Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east.
Joshua 12:2
Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, [and] ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even to the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;
Joshua 12:3
And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and to the sea of the plain, [even] the Salt Sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah.
Joshua 12:4
And the coast of Og, king of Bashan, [which was] of the remnant of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Joshua 12:5
And reigned in Mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon, king of Heshbon.
Joshua 12:6
Them did Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Children of Israel strike, and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave it [for] a possession to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua 12:7
And these [are] the kings of the country whom Joshua and the Children of Israel struck on this side of Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even to the Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir; which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel [for] a possession according to their divisions;
Joshua 12:8
In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Joshua 12:23
The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one;
Joshua 13:2
This [is] the land that still remains, all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
Joshua 13:3
From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even to the borders of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite, five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites.
Joshua 13:4
From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that [is] beside the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites.
Joshua 13:5
And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under Mount Hermon to the entering into Hamath.
Joshua 13:6
All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, I will drive them out from before the Children of Israel, only divide it by lot to the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded you."
Joshua 13:7
Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Joshua 13:8
With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave them;
Joshua 13:9
From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
Joshua 13:10
And all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;

And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salcah;
Joshua 13:12
All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants, for Moses struck these and cast them out.
Joshua 13:13
Nevertheless the Children of Israel did not expel the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
Joshua 13:14
Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance, as He said to them.
Joshua 13:15
And Moses gave to the tribe of the Children of Reuben [inheritance] according to their families.
Joshua 13:16
And their coast was from Aroer, that [is] on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
Joshua 13:17
Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,

And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, [who were] dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
Joshua 13:22
Balaam also, the son of Beor, the soothsayer, the Children of Israel slayed with the sword among those who were slain by them.
Joshua 13:23
And the border of the Children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border [thereof]. This [was] the inheritance of the Children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
Joshua 13:24
And Moses gave [inheritance] to the tribe of Gad, [even] to the Children of Gad according to their families.

And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in Bashan, sixty cities.
Joshua 13:31
And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] to the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
Joshua 13:32
These [are the countries] which Moses distributed for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side of Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
Joshua 13:33
But to the tribe of Levi, Moses did not give [any] inheritance, the Lord God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said to them.
Joshua 14:1
And these [are the countries] which the Children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the Children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
Joshua 14:2
By lot [was] their inheritance, as the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.
Joshua 14:3
For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and a half tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no inheritance among them.
Joshua 14:4
For the Children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, therefore they gave no part to the Levites in the land, except cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
Joshua 14:5
As the Lord commanded Moses, so the Children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Joshua 14:6
Then the Children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite said to him, "You know the thing that the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea.
Joshua 14:7
I [was] forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadeshbarnea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as [it was] in my heart.
Joshua 14:8
Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God.
Joshua 14:9
And Moses swore on that day, saying, 'Surely the land whereon your feet have trodden will be your inheritance, and your children's forever, because you have wholly followed the Lord my God.'
Joshua 14:10
And now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty five years, even since the Lord spoke this word to Moses, while [the Children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness, and now, look, I [am] eighty five years old this day.
Joshua 14:11
As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses sent me, as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
Joshua 14:12
Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakims [were] there, and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced, if [it] so is, the Lord [will be] with me, then I will be able to drive them out, as the Lord said."
Joshua 14:13
And Joshua blessed him, and gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.
Joshua 14:14
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.
Joshua 14:15
And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba; [which Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
Joshua 15:1
[This] then was the lot of the tribe of the Children of Judah by their families; [even] to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward [was] the uttermost part of the south coast.
Joshua 15:2
And their south border was from the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward.
Joshua 15:3
And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa.
Joshua 15:4
[From there] it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea, this will be your south coast.
Joshua 15:5
And the east border [was] the Salt Sea, [even] to the end of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan.
Joshua 15:6
And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben.
Joshua 15:7
And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river, and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel.
Joshua 15:8
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem, and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lies] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward.
Joshua 15:9
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjathjearim.
Joshua 15:10
And the border encompassed from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim, which [is] Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah.
Joshua 15:11
And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward, and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
Joshua 15:12
And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast [thereof]. This [is] the coast of the Children of Judah round about according to their families.
Joshua 15:13
And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the Children of Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron.
Joshua 15:14
And Caleb the three sons of Anak drove from there, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
Joshua 15:15
And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir, and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher.
Joshua 15:16
And Caleb said, "He who strikes Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah, my daughter, to wife."
Joshua 15:17
And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it, and he gave him Achsah, his daughter, to wife.
Joshua 15:18
And it came to pass, as she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and she lit off [her] donkey; and Caleb said to her, "What would you [will]?"
Joshua 15:19
Who answered, "Give me a blessing; for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water." And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
Joshua 15:20
This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the Children of Judah according to their families.

And the lot of the Children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, to the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho throughout Mount Bethel,
Joshua 16:2
And goes out from Bethel to Luz, and passes along to the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
Joshua 16:3
And goes down westward to the coast of Japhleti, to the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer, and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
Joshua 16:4
So the Children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Joshua 16:5
And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was [thus], even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, to Bethhoron the upper;
Joshua 16:6
And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward to Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
Joshua 16:7
And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
Joshua 16:8
The border went out from Tappuah westward to the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
Joshua 16:9
And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were] among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
Joshua 16:10
And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites to this day, and serve under tribute.
Joshua 17:1
There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph; [to knowledge], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Joshua 17:2
There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida, these [were] the male children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.

But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters, and these [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Joshua 17:4
And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, "The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the Lord, he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Joshua 17:5
And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side of Jordan;
Joshua 17:6
Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons, and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
Joshua 17:7
And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that [lies] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand to the inhabitants of Entappuah.
Joshua 17:8
[Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah, but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
Joshua 17:9
And the coast descended to the river Kanah, southward of the river, these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh, the coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea.
Joshua 17:10
Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was] Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
Joshua 17:11
And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three countries.
Joshua 17:12
Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Joshua 17:13
Yet it came to pass, when the Children of Israel were waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; ~*9:29 but did not utterly drive them out.
Joshua 17:14
And the Children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am] a great people, forasmuch as the Lord has blessed me?"
Joshua 17:15
And Joshua answered them, "If you [are] a great people, [then] get up to the wood [country], and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if Mount Ephraim is too narrow for you."
Joshua 17:16
And the Children of Joseph said, "The hill is not enough for us, and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, [both those] who [are] of Bethshean and her towns, and [those] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel."
Joshua 17:17
And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, [even] to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, "You [are] a great people, and have great power, you will not have one lot [only].
Joshua 17:18
But the mountain will be yours; for it [is] a wood, and you will cut it down, and the outgoings of it will be yours, for you will drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and] though they [are] strong."
Joshua 18:1
And the whole congregation of the Children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
Joshua 18:2
And there remained among the Children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Joshua 18:3
And Joshua said to the Children of Israel, "How long [will] you slacken to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers has given you?
Joshua 18:4
Give out from among you, three men for [each] tribe, and I will send them, and they will rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they will come [again] to me.
Joshua 18:5
And they will divide it into seven parts, Judah will abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph will abide in their coasts on the north.
Joshua 18:6
You will therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and bring [the description] here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.
Joshua 18:7
But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to them."
Joshua 18:8
And the men arose, and went away, and Joshua charged those who went to describe the land, saying, "Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh."
Joshua 18:9
And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
Joshua 18:10
And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land to the Children of Israel according to their divisions.
Joshua 18:11

And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that [lies] on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
Joshua 18:14
And the border was drawn [from there], and encompassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [lies] before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the Children of Judah, this [was] the west quarter.

Joshua 20:2
"Speak to the Children of Israel, saying, 'Appoint out cities of refuge for you, whereof I spoke to you by the hand of Moses.
Joshua 20:3
That the slayer who kills [any] person unawaringly [and] unwittingly may flee there, and they will be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
Joshua 20:4
And when he who does flee to one of those cities will stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and will declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they will take him into the city to them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Joshua 20:5
And if the avenger of blood pursues after him, then they will not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he struck his neighbor unwittingly, and did not hate him beforetime.
Joshua 20:6
And he will dwell in that city, until he stands before the congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high priest, who will be in those days, then the slayer will return, and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city from where he fled."
Joshua 20:7
And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in Mount Naphtali, and Shechem in Mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
Joshua 20:8
And on the other side of Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan, out of the tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua 20:9
These were the cities appointed for all the Children of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills [any] person unawaringly might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stands before the congregation.
Joshua 21:1
Then the heads of the fathers of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the Children of Israel;
Joshua 21:2
And they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, "The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle."
Joshua 21:3
And the Children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the Lord, these cities and their suburbs.

Joshua 21:11
And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron, in the hill [country] of Judah, with the suburbs thereof around it.
Joshua 21:12
But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his possession.

Joshua 21:41
All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the Children of Israel [were] forty eight cities with their suburbs.
Joshua 21:42
These cities were all with their suburbs around them, thus [were] all these cities.
Joshua 21:43
And the Lord gave to Israel all the land which He swore to give to their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein. *Book of Enoch 89:40
Joshua 21:44
And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that He swore to their fathers, and a man of all their enemies did not stand before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Joshua 21:45
Nothing failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Joshua 22:1
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Joshua 22:2
And said to them, "You have kept all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you.
Joshua 22:3
You have not left your brethren these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the Lord your God.
Joshua 22:4
And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brethren, as He promised them, therefore return now and get to your tents, [and] to the land of your possession, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.
Joshua 22:5
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."
Joshua 22:6
So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
Joshua 22:7
Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given [possession] in Bashan, but to the [other] half thereof Joshua gave among their brethren on this side of Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also to their tents, then he blessed them,
Joshua 22:8
And he spoke to them, saying, "Return with many riches to your tents, and with many cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment, divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren."
Joshua 22:9
And the Children of Reuben and the Children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the Children of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were in possession, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Joshua 22:10
And when they came to the borders of Jordan, that [are] in the land of Canaan, the Children of Reuben and the Children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by Jordan, a great altar to see.
Joshua 22:11
And the Children of Israel heard [some] say, "Behold, the Children of Reuben and the Children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the Children of Israel."
Joshua 22:12
And when the Children of Israel heard [of it], the whole congregation of the Children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
Joshua 22:13
And the Children of Israel sent to the Children of Reuben, and to the Children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest,
Joshua 22:14
And with him ten princes, a prince of each chief house throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] a head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
Joshua 22:15
And they came to the Children of Reuben, and to the Children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
Joshua 22:16
"Thus the whole congregation of the Lord says, 'What trespass [is] this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the Lord, in that you have built an altar, that you might rebel this day against the Lord?
Joshua 22:17
[Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord,
Joshua 22:18
But that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? And it will be, [seeing] you rebel today against the Lord, that tomorrow He will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
Joshua 22:19
Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [is] unclean, [then] pass over to the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lord's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us, but do not rebel against the Lord, nor rebel against us, in building an altar beside the altar of the Lord our God.
Joshua 22:20
Did Achan, the son of Zerah, not commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity.'"
Joshua 22:21
Then the Children of Reuben and the Children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Joshua 22:22
"The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, He knows, and He will know Israel; if [it is] in rebellion, or if in transgression against the Lord (save us not this day),
Joshua 22:23
That we have built an altar to turn from following the Lord, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord Himself require [it];
Joshua 22:24
And if we have not [rather] done it for fear of [this] thing, saying, 'In time to come, your children might speak to our children, saying, 'What have you to do with the Lord God of Israel?'
Joshua 22:25
For the Lord has made Jordan a border between us and you, you Children of Reuben and Children of Gad; you have no part in the Lord, so your children will make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
Joshua 22:26
Therefore we said, 'Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice.
Joshua 22:27
But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the Lord before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, 'You have no part in the Lord.'
Joshua 22:28
Therefore we said, that it will be, when they should [so] say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say [again], 'Behold the pattern of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us and you.'
Joshua 22:29
God forbid that we should rebel against the Lord, and turn this day from following the Lord, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the Lord our God who [is] before His tabernacle."
Joshua 22:30
And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel who [were] with him, heard the words that the Children of Reuben and the Children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.
Joshua 22:31
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the Children of Reuben, and to the Children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the Lord [is] among us, because you have not committed this trespass against the Lord, now you have delivered the Children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord."
Joshua 22:32
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the Children of Reuben, and from the Children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the Children of Israel, and brought them word again.
Joshua 22:33
And the thing pleased the Children of Israel; and the Children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the Children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
Joshua 22:34
And the Children of Reuben and the Children of Gad called the altar [Ed], for it [will be] a witness between us that the Lord [is] God.
Joshua 23:1
And it came to pass a long time after the Lord had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old [and] stricken in age.
Joshua 23:2
And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, "I am old [and] stricken in age.
Joshua 23:3
And you have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for the Lord your God [is] He who has fought for you.
Joshua 23:4
Behold, I have divided to you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great sea westward.
Joshua 23:5
And the Lord your God, He will expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and you will possess their land, as the Lord your God has promised you.
Joshua 23:6
Be therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the law of Moses, that you do not turn aside therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left;
Joshua 23:7
That you do not come among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor prostrate to them.
Joshua 23:8
But cleave to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.
Joshua 23:9
For the Lord has driven out great and strong nations from before you, but [as for] you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day.
Joshua 23:10
One man of you will chase a thousand, for the Lord your God, [it is] He who fights for you, as He has promised you. *3:13, *8:65 - 66
Joshua 23:11
Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love the Lord your God.
Joshua 23:12
Otherwise, if you in any wise do go back, and cleave to the remnant of these nations, [even] these that remain among you, and will make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you,
Joshua 23:13
Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no longer drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they will be snares and traps to you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the Lord your God has given to you.
Joshua 23:14
And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you; all were brought to pass to you, [and] not one thing has failed thereof.
Joshua 23:15
Therefore it will come to pass, [that] as all good things are brought upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so will the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until He has destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
Joshua 23:16
When you have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and prostrated to them; then will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which He has given to you."
Joshua 24:1
And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
Joshua 24:2
And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus the Lord says, God of Israel, 'Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the river in old time, [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor, and they served other gods. ~*6:74, ~*19:41, ~*21:51 - 52, ~*26:69 - 71, ~*29:16 - 17, ~*37:83 - 86, ~*43:26
Joshua 24:3
And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the river, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
Joshua 24:4
And I gave Jacob and Esau to Isaac, *19:49, *21:72 and I gave Mount Seir to Esau, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Joshua 24:5
I also sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them, and afterward I brought you out.
Joshua 24:6
And I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
Joshua 24:7
And when they cried to the Lord, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt, and you dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
Joshua 24:8
And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who dwelt on the other side of Jordan; and they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Joshua 24:9
Then Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam, the son of Beor, to curse you.
Joshua 24:10
But I would not hear Balaam; therefore he still blessed you, so I delivered you out of his hand.
Joshua 24:11
And you went over Jordan, and came to Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
Joshua 24:12
And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with your sword, nor with your bow.
Joshua 24:13
And I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you dwell in them; you eat of the vineyards and oliveyards which you did not plant.
Joshua 24:14
Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:16
And the people answered and said, "God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods;
Joshua 24:17
For the Lord our God, [it is] He who brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed.
Joshua 24:18
And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, even the Amorites who dwelt in the land, [therefore] we will also serve the Lord; for He [is] our God."
Joshua 24:19
And Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve the Lord, for He [is] a holy God; He [is] a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
Joshua 24:20
If you forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then He will turn and hurt you, and consume you, after He has done you good."
Joshua 24:21
And the people said to Joshua, "No; but we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:22
And Joshua said to the people, "You [are] witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord, to serve Him." And they said, "[We are] witnesses."
Joshua 24:23
"Now therefore put away, [he said], the strange gods which [are] among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel."
Joshua 24:24
And the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the Lord our God, and we will obey His voice."
Joshua 24:25
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, ~*5:7 and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Joshua 24:26
And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary of the Lord.
Joshua 24:27
And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone will be a witness to us; for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us, it will therefore be a witness to you, unless you deny your God."
Joshua 24:28
So Joshua let the people depart, every man to his inheritance.
Joshua 24:29
And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, *19:93, *21:26 died, [being] a hundred and ten years old.
Joshua 24:30
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which [is] in Mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
Joshua 24:31
And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who overlived Joshua, and who had known all the works of the Lord, that He had done for Israel.
Joshua 24:32
And the bones of Joseph, which the Children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred pieces of silver, and it became the inheritance of the Children of Joseph.
