And JoshuaH3091 gatheredH622 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to ShechemH7927, and calledH7121 for the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199, and for their officersH7860; and they presentedH3320 themselves beforeH6440 GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your fathersH1 dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104 in old timeH5769, even TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85, and the fatherH1 of NachorH5152: and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430.
And I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and ledH3212 him throughout all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and multipliedH7235 his seedH2233, and gaveH5414 him IsaacH3327.
And I gaveH5414 unto IsaacH3327 JacobH3290 and EsauH6215: and I gaveH5414 unto EsauH6215 mountH2022 SeirH8165, to possessH3423 it; but JacobH3290 and his childrenH1121 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714.
I sentH7971 MosesH4872 also and AaronH175, and I plaguedH5062 EgyptH4714, according to that whichH834 I didH6213 amongH7130 them: and afterwardH310 I brought you outH3318.
And I broughtH3318 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714: and ye cameH935 unto the seaH3220; and the EgyptiansH4714 pursuedH7291 afterH310 your fathersH1 with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 unto the RedH5488 seaH3220.
And when they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, he putH7760 darknessH3990 between you and the EgyptiansH4713, and broughtH935 the seaH3220 upon them, and coveredH3680 them; and your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 what I have doneH6213 in EgyptH4714: and ye dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 a longH7227 seasonH3117.
And I broughtH935 you into the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383; and they foughtH3898 with you: and I gaveH5414 them into your handH3027, that ye might possessH3423 their landH776; and I destroyedH8045 them from beforeH6440 you.
Then BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, aroseH6965 and warredH3898 against IsraelH3478, and sentH7971 and calledH7121 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you:
But I wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto BalaamH1109; therefore he blessedH1288 you stillH1288: so I deliveredH5337 you out of his handH3027.
And ye went overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 unto JerichoH3405: and the menH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the GirgashitesH1622, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983; and I deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027.
And I sentH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 you, which drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you, even the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567; but not with thy swordH2719, nor with thy bowH7198.
And I have givenH5414 you a landH776 for which ye did not labourH3021, and citiesH5892 which ye builtH1129 not, and ye dwellH3427 in them; of the vineyardsH3754 and oliveyardsH2132 which ye plantedH5193 not do ye eatH398.
Now therefore fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in sincerityH8549 and in truthH571: and put awayH5493 the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and in EgyptH4714; and serveH5647 ye the LORDH3068.
And if it seem evilH7489 unto youH4310 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, chooseH977 you this dayH3117 whomH5869 ye will serveH5647; whether the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 that were on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, or the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, God forbidH2486 that we should forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430;
For the LORDH3068 our GodH430, he it is that brought us upH5927 and our fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, and which didH6213 those greatH1419 signsH226 in our sightH5869, and preservedH8104 us in all the wayH1870 wherein we wentH1980, and among all the peopleH5971 throughH7130 whom we passedH5674:
And the LORDH3068 drave outH1644 from beforeH6440 us all the peopleH5971, even the AmoritesH567 which dweltH3427 in the landH776: therefore will we also serveH5647 the LORDH3068; for he is our GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye cannotH3201 serveH5647 the LORDH3068: for he is an holyH6918 GodH430; he is a jealousH7072 GodH410; he will not forgiveH5375 your transgressionsH6588 nor your sinsH2403.
If ye forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430, then he will turnH7725 and do you hurtH7489, and consumeH3615 you, afterH310 that he hath done you goodH3190.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Nay; but we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 against yourselves that ye have chosenH977 you the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 him. And they saidH559, We are witnessesH5707.
Now therefore put awayH5493, said he, the strangeH5236 godsH430 which are amongH7130 you, and inclineH5186 your heartH3824 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, The LORDH3068 our GodH430 will we serveH5647, and his voiceH6963 will we obeyH8085.
So JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the peopleH5971 that dayH3117, and setH7760 them a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 in ShechemH7927.
And JoshuaH3091 wroteH3789 these wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430, and tookH3947 a greatH1419 stoneH68, and set it upH6965 there under an oakH427, that was by the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Behold, this stoneH68 shall be a witnessH5713 unto us; for it hath heardH8085 all the wordsH561 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696 unto us: it shall be therefore a witnessH5713 unto you, lest ye denyH3584 your GodH430.
So JoshuaH3091 let the peopleH5971 departH7971, every manH376 unto his inheritanceH5159.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, diedH4191, being an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 oldH1121.
And they buriedH6912 him in the borderH1366 of his inheritanceH5159 in TimnathserahH8556, which is in mountH2022 EphraimH669, on the north sideH6828 of the hillH2022 of GaashH1608.
And IsraelH3478 servedH5647 the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091, and all the daysH3117 of the eldersH2205 that overlivedH748+H3117+H310 JoshuaH3091, and which had knownH3045 all the worksH4639 of the LORDH3068, that he had doneH6213 for IsraelH3478. {overlived…: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua}
And the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 brought upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, buriedH6912 they in ShechemH7927, in a parcelH2513 of groundH7704 which JacobH3290 boughtH7069 of the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 for an hundredH3967 pieces of silverH7192: and it became the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130. {pieces…: or, lambs}
And EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 diedH4191; and they buriedH6912 him in a hillH1389 that pertained to PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, which was givenH5414 him in mountH2022 EphraimH669.

Behold, there is a peopleH5971 come outH3318 of EgyptH4714, which coverethH3680 the faceH5869 of the earthH776: comeH3212 now, curseH6895 me them; peradventure I shall be ableH3201 to overcomeH3898 them, and drive them outH1644. {I shall…: Heb. I shall prevail in fighting against him}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Thou shalt not goH3212 with them; thou shalt not curseH779 the peopleH5971: for they are blessedH1288.
And BalaamH1109 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto the servantsH5650 of BalakH1111, If BalakH1111 would giveH5414 me his houseH1004 fullH4393 of silverH3701 and goldH2091, I cannotH3201 go beyondH5674 the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, to doH6213 lessH6996 or moreH1419.
Now therefore, I pray you, tarryH3427 ye also here this nightH3915, that I may knowH3045 what the LORDH3068 will sayH1696 unto me moreH3254.
And GodH430 cameH935 unto BalaamH1109 at nightH3915, and saidH559 unto him, If the menH582 comeH935 to callH7121 thee, rise upH6965, and goH3212 with them; but yetH389 the wordH1697 which I shall sayH1696 unto thee, that shalt thou doH6213.
And the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, GoH3212 with the menH582: but onlyH657 the wordH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee, that thou shalt speakH1696. So BalaamH1109 wentH3212 with the princesH8269 of BalakH1111.
And BalaamH1109 saidH559 unto BalakH1111, StandH3320 by thy burnt offeringH5930, and I will goH3212: peradventure the LORDH3068 will comeH7136 to meetH7125 me: and whatsoeverH1697 he shewethH7200 me I will tellH5046 thee. And he wentH3212 to an high placeH8205. {to an…: or, solitary}
And GodH430 metH7136 BalaamH1109: and he saidH559 unto him, I have preparedH6186 sevenH7651 altarsH4196, and I have offeredH5927 upon every altarH4196 a bullockH6499 and a ramH352.
And the LORDH3068 putH7760 a wordH1697 in Balaam'sH1109 mouthH6310, and saidH559, ReturnH7725 unto BalakH1111, and thus thou shalt speakH1696.
And he returnedH7725 unto him, and, lo, he stoodH5324 by his burnt sacrificeH5930, he, and all the princesH8269 of MoabH4124.
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, BalakH1111 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath broughtH5148 me from AramH758, out of the mountainsH2042 of the eastH6924, saying, ComeH3212, curseH779 me JacobH3290, and comeH3212, defyH2194 IsraelH3478.
HowH4100 shall I curseH5344, whom GodH410 hath not cursedH6895? or how shall I defyH2194, whom the LORDH3068 hath not defiedH2194?
For from the topH7218 of the rocksH6697 I seeH7200 him, and from the hillsH1389 I beholdH7789 him: lo, the peopleH5971 shall dwellH7931 aloneH910, and shall not be reckonedH2803 among the nationsH1471.
Who can countH4487 the dustH6083 of JacobH3290, and the numberH4557 of the fourthH7255 part of IsraelH3478? Let me dieH4191+H5315 the deathH4194 of the righteousH3477, and let my lastH319 end be like his! {me: Heb. my soul, or, my life}
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, What hast thou doneH6213 unto me? I tookH3947 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast blessedH1288 them altogetherH1288.
And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, Must I not take heedH8104 to speakH1696 that which the LORDH3068 hath putH7760 in my mouthH6310?
And he saidH559 unto BalakH1111, StandH3320 hereH3541 by thy burnt offeringH5930, while I meetH7136 the LORD yonderH3541.
And the LORDH3068 metH7136 BalaamH1109, and putH7760 a wordH1697 in his mouthH6310, and saidH559, Go againH7725 unto BalakH1111, and sayH1696 thus.
And when he cameH935 to him, behold, he stoodH5324 by his burnt offeringH5930, and the princesH8269 of MoabH4124 with him. And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto him, What hath the LORDH3068 spokenH1696?
And he took upH5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, Rise upH6965, BalakH1111, and hearH8085; hearkenH238 unto me, thou sonH1121 of ZipporH6834:
GodH410 is not a manH376, that he should lieH3576; neither the sonH1121 of manH120, that he should repentH5162: hath he saidH559, and shall he not doH6213 it? or hath he spokenH1696, and shall he not make it goodH6965?
Behold, I have receivedH3947 commandment to blessH1288: and he hath blessedH1288; and I cannot reverseH7725 it.
He hath not beheldH5027 iniquityH205 in JacobH3290, neither hath he seenH7200 perversenessH5999 in IsraelH3478: the LORDH3068 his GodH430 is with him, and the shoutH8643 of a kingH4428 is among them.
GodH410 brought them outH3318 of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214.
Surely there is no enchantmentH5173 against JacobH3290, neither is there any divinationH7081 against IsraelH3478: according to this timeH6256 it shall be saidH559 of JacobH3290 and of IsraelH3478, What hath GodH410 wroughtH6466! {against: or, in}
Behold, the peopleH5971 shall rise upH6965 as a great lionH3833, and lift upH5375 himself as a young lionH738: he shall not lie downH7901 until he eatH398 of the preyH2964, and drinkH8354 the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491.
And BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, Neither curseH5344 them at allH6895, nor blessH1288 them at allH1288.
But BalaamH1109 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto BalakH1111, ToldH1696 not I thee, sayingH559, All that the LORDH3068 speakethH1696, that I must doH6213?
How goodlyH2895 are thy tentsH168, O JacobH3290, and thy tabernaclesH4908, O IsraelH3478!
As the valleysH5158 are they spread forthH5186, as gardensH1593 by the river's sideH5104, as the trees of lign aloesH174 which the LORDH3068 hath plantedH5193, and as cedar treesH730 beside the watersH4325.
He shall pourH5140 the waterH4325 outH5140 of his bucketsH1805, and his seedH2233 shall be in manyH7227 watersH4325, and his kingH4428 shall be higherH7311 than AgagH90, and his kingdomH4438 shall be exaltedH5375.
GodH410 brought him forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; he hath as it were the strengthH8443 of an unicornH7214: he shall eat upH398 the nationsH1471 his enemiesH6862, and shall breakH1633 their bonesH6106, and pierceH4272 them through with his arrowsH2671.
He couchedH3766, he lay downH7901 as a lionH738, and as a great lionH3833: who shall stir him upH6965? BlessedH1288 is he that blessethH1288 thee, and cursedH779 is he that cursethH779 thee.
And Balak'sH1111 angerH639 was kindledH2734 against BalaamH1109, and he smoteH5606 his handsH3709 togetherH5606: and BalakH1111 saidH559 unto BalaamH1109, I calledH7121 thee to curseH6895 mine enemiesH341, and, behold, thou hast altogetherH1288 blessedH1288 them these threeH7969 timesH6471.
