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}
Querverweise zu Josua 2,10 Jos 2,10
That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 might knowH3045 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, that it is mightyH2389: that ye might fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH3117. {for ever: Heb. all days}
And IsraelH3478 sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, sayingH559,
Let me passH5674 through thy landH776: we will not turnH5186 into the fieldsH7704, or into the vineyardsH3754; we will not drinkH8354 of the watersH4325 of the wellH875: but we will go alongH3212 by the king'sH4428 high wayH1870, until we be pastH5674 thy bordersH1366.
And SihonH5511 would not sufferH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his borderH1366: but SihonH5511 gatheredH622 all his peopleH5971 togetherH622, and went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 into the wildernessH4057: and he cameH935 to JahazH3096, and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478.
And IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 him with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and possessedH3423 his landH776 from ArnonH769 unto JabbokH2999, even unto the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983: for the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 was strongH5794.
And IsraelH3478 tookH3947 all these citiesH5892: and IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in all the citiesH5892 of the AmoritesH567, in HeshbonH2809, and in all the villagesH1323 thereof. {villages: Heb. daughters}
For HeshbonH2809 was the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who had foughtH3898 against the formerH7223 kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and takenH3947 all his landH776 out of his handH3027, even unto ArnonH769.
Wherefore they that speak in proverbsH4911 sayH559, ComeH935 into HeshbonH2809, let the cityH5892 of SihonH5511 be builtH1129 and preparedH3559:
For there is a fireH784 gone outH3318 of HeshbonH2809, a flameH3852 from the cityH7151 of SihonH5511: it hath consumedH398 ArH6144 of MoabH4124, and the lords of the high placesH1181 of ArnonH769.
WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! thou art undoneH6, O peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645: he hath givenH5414 his sonsH1121 that escapedH6412, and his daughtersH1323, into captivityH7622 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567.
We have shotH3384 at them; HeshbonH2809 is perishedH6 even unto DibonH1769, and we have laid them wasteH8074 even unto NophahH5302, which reacheth unto MedebaH4311.
Thus IsraelH3478 dweltH3427 in the landH776 of the AmoritesH567.
And MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JaazerH3270, and they tookH3920 the villagesH1323 thereof, and drove outH3423+H3423 the AmoritesH567 that were there.
And they turnedH6437 and went upH5927 by the wayH1870 of BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 went outH3318 againstH7125 them, he, and all his peopleH5971, to the battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, FearH3372 him not: for I have deliveredH5414 him into thy handH3027, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776; and thou shalt doH6213 to him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So they smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971, until there was noneH1115 leftH7604 him aliveH8300: and they possessedH3423 his landH776.
And MosesH4872 stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220; and the LORDH3068 caused the seaH3220 to goH3212 back by a strongH5794 eastH6921 windH7307 all that nightH3915, and madeH7760 the seaH3220 dryH2724 land, and the watersH4325 were dividedH1234.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH935 into the midstH8432 of the seaH3220 upon the dryH3004 ground: and the watersH4325 were a wallH2346 unto them on their right handH3225, and on their leftH8040.
And the EgyptiansH4714 pursuedH7291, and went inH935 afterH310 them to the midstH8432 of the seaH3220, even all Pharaoh'sH6547 horsesH5483, his chariotsH7393, and his horsemenH6571.
And it came to pass, that in the morningH1242 watchH821 the LORDH3068 lookedH8259 unto the hostH4264 of the EgyptiansH4714 through the pillarH5982 of fireH784 and of the cloudH6051, and troubledH2000 the hostH4264 of the EgyptiansH4714,
And took offH5493 their chariotH4818 wheelsH212, that they draveH5090 them heavilyH3517: so that the EgyptiansH4714 saidH559, Let us fleeH5127 from the faceH6440 of IsraelH3478; for the LORDH3068 fightethH3898 for them against the EgyptiansH4714. {that they…: or, and made them to go heavily}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 over the seaH3220, that the watersH4325 may come againH7725 upon the EgyptiansH4714, upon their chariotsH7393, and upon their horsemenH6571.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, and the seaH3220 returnedH7725 to his strengthH386 when the morningH1242 appearedH6437; and the EgyptiansH4714 fledH5127 againstH7125 it; and the LORDH3068 overthrewH5287 the EgyptiansH4714 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220. {overthrew: Heb. shook off}
And the watersH4325 returnedH7725, and coveredH3680 the chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571, and all the hostH2428 of PharaohH6547 that cameH935 into the seaH3220 afterH310 them; there remainedH7604 not so much asH5704 oneH259 of them.
But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 upon dryH3004 land in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220; and the watersH4325 were a wallH2346 unto them on their right handH3225, and on their leftH8040.
Thus the LORDH3068 savedH3467 IsraelH3478 that dayH3117 out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714; and IsraelH3478 sawH7200 the EgyptiansH4714 deadH4191 upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193.
And IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that greatH1419 workH3027 which the LORDH3068 didH6213 upon the EgyptiansH4714: and the peopleH5971 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068, and believedH539 the LORDH3068, and his servantH5650 MosesH4872. {work: Heb. hand}
But SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 wouldH14 not let us passH5674 by him: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hardenedH7185 his spiritH7307, and made his heartH3824 obstinateH553, that he might deliverH5414 him into thy handH3027, as appeareth this dayH3117.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, BeholdH7200, I have begunH2490 to giveH5414 SihonH5511 and his landH776 beforeH6440 thee: beginH2490 to possessH3423, that thou mayest inheritH3423 his landH776.
Then SihonH5511 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his peopleH5971, to fightH4421 at JahazH3096.
And the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 him beforeH6440 us; and we smoteH5221 him, and his sonsH1121, and all his peopleH5971.
And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256, and utterly destroyedH2763 the menH4962, and the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, of every cityH5892, we leftH7604 none to remainH8300: {the men…: Heb. every city of men, and women, and little ones}
Only the cattleH929 we took for a preyH962 unto ourselves, and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892 which we tookH3920.
From AroerH6177, which is by the brinkH8193 of the riverH5158 of ArnonH769, and from the cityH5892 that is by the riverH5158, even unto GileadH1568, there was not one cityH7151 too strongH7682 for us: the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 all unto usH6440:
Only unto the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 thou camestH7126 not, nor unto any placeH3027 of the riverH5158 JabbokH2999, nor unto the citiesH5892 in the mountainsH2022, nor unto whatsoever the LORDH3068 our GodH430 forbadH6680 us.
The peopleH5971 shall hearH8085, and be afraidH7264: sorrowH2427 shall take holdH270 on the inhabitantsH3427 of PalestinaH6429.
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.
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.
Then we turnedH6437, and went upH5927 the wayH1870 to BashanH1316: and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 came outH3318 againstH7125 us, he and all his peopleH5971, to battleH4421 at EdreiH154.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, FearH3372 him not: for I will deliverH5414 him, and all his peopleH5971, and his landH776, into thy handH3027; and thou shalt doH6213 unto him as thou didstH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 at HeshbonH2809.
So the LORDH3068 our GodH430 deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 OgH5747 also, the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all his peopleH5971: and we smoteH5221 him until none was leftH7604 to him remainingH8300.
And we tookH3920 all his citiesH5892 at that timeH6256, there was not a cityH7151 which we tookH3947 not from them, threescoreH8346 citiesH5892, all the regionH2256 of ArgobH709, the kingdomH4467 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316.
All these citiesH5892 were fencedH1219 with highH1364 wallsH2346, gatesH1817, and barsH1280; beside unwalledH6521 townsH5892 a greatH3966 manyH7235.
And we utterly destroyedH2763 them, as we didH6213 unto SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, utterly destroyingH2763 the menH4962, womenH802, and childrenH2945, of every cityH5892.
But all the cattleH929, and the spoilH7998 of the citiesH5892, we took for a preyH962 to ourselves.
And we tookH3947 at that timeH6256 outH3947 of the handH3027 of the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 the landH776 that was on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, from the riverH5158 of ArnonH769 unto mountH2022 HermonH2768;
