And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 sentH7971 out of ShittimH7851 twoH8147 menH582 to spyH7270 secretlyH2791, sayingH559, GoH3212 viewH7200 the landH776, even JerichoH3405. And they wentH3212, and cameH935 into an harlot'sH2181 houseH802+H1004, namedH8034 RahabH7343, and lodgedH7901 there. {sent: or, had sent} {lodged: Heb. lay}
And it was toldH559 the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405, sayingH559, Behold, there cameH935 menH582 in hither to nightH3915 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to search outH2658 the countryH776.
And the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405 sentH7971 unto RahabH7343, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the menH582 that are comeH935 to thee, which are enteredH935 into thine houseH1004: for they be comeH935 to search outH2658 all the countryH776.
And the womanH802 tookH3947 the twoH8147 menH582, and hidH6845 them, and saidH559 thus, There cameH935 menH582 unto me, but I wistH3045 not whenceH370 they were:
And it came to pass about the time of shuttingH5462 of the gateH8179, when it was darkH2822, that the menH582 went outH3318: whither the menH582 wentH1980 I wotH3045 not: pursueH7291 afterH310 them quicklyH4118; for ye shall overtakeH5381 them.
But she had brought them upH5927 to the roofH1406 of the house, and hidH2934 them with the stalksH6086 of flaxH6593, which she had laid in orderH6186 upon the roofH1406.
And the menH582 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them the wayH1870 to JordanH3383 unto the fordsH4569: and as soon as they which pursuedH7291 afterH310 them were gone outH3318, they shutH5462 the gateH8179.
And before they were laid downH7901, she came upH5927 unto them upon the roofH1406;
And she saidH559 unto the menH582, I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the landH776, and that your terrorH367 is fallenH5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 faintH4127 becauseH6440 of you. {faint: Heb. melt}
For we have heardH8085 how the LORDH3068 dried upH3001 the waterH4325 of the RedH5488 seaH3220 for youH6440, when ye came outH3318 of EgyptH4714; and what ye didH6213 unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, SihonH5511 and OgH5747, whom ye utterly destroyedH2763.
And as soon as we had heardH8085 these things, our heartsH3824 did meltH4549, neither did there remainH6965 any more courageH7307 in any manH376, becauseH6440 of you: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, and in earthH776 beneath. {did there…: Heb. rose up}
Now therefore, I pray you, swearH7650 unto me by the LORDH3068, sinceH3588 I have shewedH6213 you kindnessH2617, that ye will also shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto my father'sH1 houseH1004, and giveH5414 me a trueH571 tokenH226:
And that ye will save aliveH2421 my fatherH1, and my motherH517, and my brethrenH251, and my sistersH269, and all that they have, and deliverH5337 our livesH5315 from deathH4194.
And the menH582 answeredH559 her, Our lifeH5315 for yoursH4191, if ye utterH5046 not this our businessH1697. And it shall be, when the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 us the landH776, that we will dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with thee. {for…: Heb. instead of you to die}
Then she let them downH3381 by a cordH2256 throughH1157 the windowH2474: for her houseH1004 was upon the townH7023 wallH2346, and she dweltH3427 upon the wallH2346.
And she saidH559 unto them, GetH3212 you to the mountainH2022, lest the pursuersH7291 meetH6293 you; and hideH2247 yourselves there threeH7969 daysH3117, until the pursuersH7291 be returnedH7725: and afterwardH310 may ye goH3212 your wayH1870.
And the menH582 saidH559 unto her, We will be blamelessH5355 of this thine oathH7621 which thou hast made us swearH7650.
Behold, when we comeH935 into the landH776, thou shalt bindH7194 this lineH8615 of scarletH8144 threadH2339 in the windowH2474 which thou didst let us down byH3381: and thou shalt bringH622 thy fatherH1, and thy motherH517, and thy brethrenH251, and all thy father'sH1 householdH1004, homeH1004 unto thee. {bring: Heb. gather}
And it shall be, that whosoeverH834 shall go outH3318 of the doorsH1817 of thy houseH1004 into the streetH2351, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his headH7218, and we will be guiltlessH5355: and whosoever shall be with thee in the houseH1004, his bloodH1818 shall be on our headH7218, if any handH3027 be upon him.
And if thou utterH5046 this our businessH1697, then we will be quitH5355 of thine oathH7621 which thou hast made us to swearH7650.
And she saidH559, According unto your wordsH1697, so be it. And she sent them awayH7971, and they departedH3212: and she boundH7194 the scarletH8144 lineH8615 in the windowH2474.
And they wentH3212, and cameH935 unto the mountainH2022, and abodeH3427 there threeH7969 daysH3117, until the pursuersH7291 were returnedH7725: and the pursuersH7291 soughtH1245 them throughout all the wayH1870, but foundH4672 them not.
So the twoH8147 menH582 returnedH7725, and descendedH3381 from the mountainH2022, and passed overH5674, and cameH935 to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and toldH5608 him all things that befellH4672 them:
And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, TrulyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 all the landH776; for even all the inhabitantsH3427 of the countryH776 do faintH4127 becauseH6440 of us. {faint: Heb. melt}

Now I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 is greaterH1419 than all godsH430: for in the thingH1697 wherein they dealt proudlyH2102 he was above them.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto AbramH87, afterH310 that LotH3876 was separatedH6504 from him, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and lookH7200 from the placeH4725 where thou art northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and eastwardH6924, and westwardH3220:
For all the landH776 which thou seestH7200, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233 forH5704 everH5769.
And I will makeH7760 thy seedH2233 as the dustH6083 of the earthH776: so thatH834 if a manH376 canH3201 numberH4487 the dustH6083 of the earthH776, then shall thy seedH2233 also be numberedH4487.
AriseH6965, walkH1980 through the landH776 in the lengthH753 of it and in the breadthH7341 of it; for I will giveH5414 it unto thee.
And they journeyedH5265: and the terrorH2847 of GodH430 was upon the citiesH5892 that were round aboutH5439 them, and they did not pursueH7291 afterH310 the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290.
And as soon as we had heardH8085 these things, our heartsH3824 did meltH4549, neither did there remainH6965 any more courageH7307 in any manH376, becauseH6440 of you: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, and in earthH776 beneath. {did there…: Heb. rose up}
And he returnedH7725 to the manH376 of GodH430, he and all his companyH4264, and cameH935, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559, Behold, now I knowH3045 that there is no GodH430 in all the earthH776, but in IsraelH3478: now therefore, I pray thee, takeH3947 a blessingH1293 of thy servantH5650.
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578:
The KenitesH7017, and the KenizzitesH7074, and the KadmonitesH6935,
And the HittitesH2850, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the RephaimsH7497,
And the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the JebusitesH2983.
ThenH227 the dukesH441 of EdomH123 shall be amazedH926; the mighty menH352 of MoabH4124, tremblingH7461 shall take holdH270 upon them; all the inhabitantsH3427 of CanaanH3667 shall melt awayH4127.
And the watchmenH6822 of SaulH7586 in GibeahH1390 of BenjaminH1144 lookedH7200; and, behold, the multitudeH1995 melted awayH4127, and they wentH3212 on beating downH1986 one another.
For I knowH3045 that my redeemerH1350 livethH2416, and that he shall standH6965 at the latterH314 day upon the earthH6083:
Moreover he saidH559, I am the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290. And MosesH4872 hidH5641 his faceH6440; for he was afraidH3372 to lookH5027 upon GodH430.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have surelyH7200 seenH7200 the afflictionH6040 of my peopleH5971 which are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their cryH6818 by reasonH6440 of their taskmastersH5065; for I knowH3045 their sorrowsH4341;
And I am come downH3381 to deliverH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up out of that landH776 unto a goodH2896 landH776 and a largeH7342, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; unto the placeH4725 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983.
FearH367 and dreadH6343 shall fallH5307 upon them; by the greatnessH1419 of thine armH2220 they shall be as stillH1826 as a stoneH68; till thy peopleH5971 pass overH5674, O LORDH3068, till the peopleH5971 pass overH5674, whichH2098 thou hast purchasedH7069.
And he also that is valiantH1121+H2428, whose heartH3820 is as the heartH3820 of a lionH738, shall utterlyH4549 meltH4549: for all IsraelH3478 knowethH3045 that thy fatherH1 is a mighty manH1368, and they which be with him are valiantH2428 menH1121.
Though a sinnerH2398 doH6213 evilH7451 an hundred timesH3967, and his days be prolongedH748, yet surely I knowH3045 that it shall be wellH2896 with them that fearH3373 GodH430, which fearH3372 beforeH6440 him:
When the most HighH5945 dividedH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, when he separatedH6504 the sonsH1121 of AdamH120, he setH5324 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971 according to the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
I will sendH7971 my fearH367 beforeH6440 thee, and will destroyH2000 all the peopleH5971 to whom thou shalt comeH935, and I will makeH5414 all thine enemiesH341 turn their backsH6203 unto thee. {backs: Heb. neck}
The wickedH7563 shall seeH7200 it, and be grievedH3707; he shall gnashH2786 with his teethH8127, and melt awayH4549: the desireH8378 of the wickedH7563 shall perishH6.
NowG1161 faithG4102 isG2076 the substanceG5287 of things hoped forG1679, the evidenceG1650 of thingsG4229 notG3756 seenG991. {substance: or, ground, or, confidence}
The heavenH8064, even the heavensH8064, are the LORD'SH3068: but the earthH776 hath he givenH5414 to the childrenH1121 of menH120.
This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to putH5414 the dreadH6343 of thee and the fearH3374 of thee upon the nationsH6440+H5971 that are under the whole heavenH8064, who shall hearH8085 reportH8088 of thee, and shall trembleH7264, and be in anguishH2342 because of theeH6440.
The burdenH4853 of EgyptH4714. Behold, the LORDH3068 ridethH7392 upon a swiftH7031 cloudH5645, and shall comeH935 into EgyptH4714: and the idolsH457 of EgyptH4714 shall be movedH5128 at his presenceH6440, and the heartH3824 of EgyptH4714 shall meltH4549 in the midstH7130 of it.
I have madeH6213 the earthH776, the manH120 and the beastH929 that are uponH6440 the groundH776, by my greatH1419 powerH3581 and by my outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and have givenH5414 it unto whom it seemedH5869 meetH3474 unto me.
There shall no manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 you: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 shall layH5414 the fearH6343 of you and the dreadH4172 of you uponH6440 all the landH776 that ye shall treadH1869 upon, as he hath saidH1696 unto you.
She is emptyH950, and voidH4003, and wasteH1110: and the heartH3820 meltethH4549, and the kneesH1290 smite togetherH6375, and much painH2479 is in all loinsH4975, and the facesH6440 of them all gatherH6908 blacknessH6289.
Is it notG3756 lawfulG1832 for meG3427 to doG4160 whatG3739 I willG2309 withG1722 mine ownG1699+G1487? IsG2076 thineG4675 eyeG3788 evilG4190, becauseG3754 IG1473 amG1510 goodG18?
And all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 shall seeH7200 that thou art calledH7121 by the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; and they shall be afraidH3372 of thee.
And his fellowH7453 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is nothing else save the swordH2719 of GideonH1439 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101, a manH376 of IsraelH3478: for into his handH3027 hath GodH430 deliveredH5414 MidianH4080, and all the hostH4264.
And there was tremblingH2731 in the hostH4264, in the fieldH7704, and among all the peopleH5971: the garrisonH4673, and the spoilersH7843, they also trembledH2729, and the earthH776 quakedH7264: so it was a very greatH430 tremblingH2731. {a very…: Heb. a trembling of God}
For the LordH136 had made the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758 to hearH8085 a noiseH6963 of chariotsH7393, and a noiseH6963 of horsesH5483, even the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 hostH2428: and they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Lo, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 hath hiredH7936 against us the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 upon us.
