Versliste
And MosesH4872 went upH5927 from the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 unto the mountainH2022 of NeboH5015, to the topH7218 of PisgahH6449, that is over againstH6440 JerichoH3405. And the LORDH3068 shewedH7200 him all the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto DanH1835, {Pisgah: or, the hill}
And all NaphtaliH5321, and the landH776 of EphraimH669, and ManassehH4519, and all the landH776 of JudahH3063, unto the utmostH314 seaH3220,
And the southH5045, and the plainH3603 of the valleyH1237 of JerichoH3405, the cityH5892 of palm treesH8558+H5899, unto ZoarH6820.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, This is the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto AbrahamH85, unto IsaacH3327, and unto JacobH3290, sayingH559, I will giveH5414 it unto thy seedH2233: I have caused thee to seeH7200 it with thine eyesH5869, but thou shalt not go overH5674 thither.
So MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 diedH4191 there in the landH776 of MoabH4124, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068.
And he buriedH6912 him in a valleyH1516 in the landH776 of MoabH4124, over againstH4136 BethpeorH1047: but no manH376 knowethH3045 of his sepulchreH6900 unto this dayH3117.
And MosesH4872 was an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he diedH4194: his eyeH5869 was not dimH3543, nor his natural forceH3893 abatedH5127. {natural…: Heb. moisture} {abated: Heb. fled}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 weptH1058 for MosesH4872 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124 thirtyH7970 daysH3117: so the daysH3117 of weepingH1065 and mourningH60 for MosesH4872 were endedH8552.
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 was fullH4392 of the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451; for MosesH4872 had laidH5564 his handsH3027 upon him: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 hearkenedH8085 unto him, and didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And there aroseH6965 not a prophetH5030 sinceH5750 in IsraelH3478 like unto MosesH4872, whom the LORDH3068 knewH3045 faceH6440 to faceH6440,
In all the signsH226 and the wondersH4159, which the LORDH3068 sentH7971 him to doH6213 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to PharaohH6547, and to all his servantsH5650, and to all his landH776,
And in all that mightyH2389 handH3027, and in all the greatH1419 terrorH4172 which MosesH4872 shewedH6213 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478.
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.
As for the JebusitesH2983 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 couldH3201+H3201 not drive them outH3423: but the JebusitesH2983 dwellH3427 with the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063 at JerusalemH3389 unto this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 and his menH582 wentH3212 to JerusalemH3389 unto the JebusitesH2983, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776: which spakeH559 unto DavidH1732, sayingH559, Except thou take awayH5493 the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, thou shalt not come inH935 hither: thinkingH559, DavidH1732 cannot come inH935 hither. {thinking…: or, saying David shall not, etc}
Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the strong holdH4686 of ZionH6726: the same is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 on that dayH3117, Whosoever getteth upH5060 to the gutterH6794, and smitethH5221 the JebusitesH2983, and the lameH6455 and the blindH5787, that are hatedH8130 of David'sH1732 soulH5315, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they saidH559, The blindH5787 and the lameH6455 shall not comeH935 into the houseH1004. {Wherefore…: or, Because they had said, even the blind and the lame, He shall not come into the house}
So DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the fortH4686, and calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. And DavidH1732 builtH1129 round aboutH5439 from MilloH4407 and inwardH1004.
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 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242; and they removedH5265 from ShittimH7851, and cameH935 to JordanH3383, he and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and lodgedH3885 there before they passed overH5674.
And it came to pass afterH7097 threeH7969 daysH3117, that the officersH7860 wentH5674 throughH7130 the hostH4264;
And they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then ye shall removeH5265 from your placeH4725, and goH1980 afterH310 it.
Yet there shall be a spaceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measureH4060: come not nearH7126 unto it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must goH3212: for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretoforeH8543+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves: for to morrowH4279 the LORDH3068 will doH6213 wondersH6381 amongH7130 you.
And JoshuaH3091 spakeH559 unto the priestsH3548, sayingH559, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. And they took upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and wentH3212 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to magnifyH1431 thee in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that, as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee.
And thou shalt commandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, When ye are comeH935 to the brinkH7097 of the waterH4325 of JordanH3383, ye shall stand stillH5975 in JordanH3383.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come hitherH5066, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423 drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
Behold, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH113 of all the earthH776 passeth overH5674 beforeH6440 you into JordanH3383.
Now therefore takeH3947 you twelveH8147+H6240 menH376 out of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the LordH113 of all the earthH776, shall restH5117 in the watersH4325 of JordanH3383, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 shall be cut offH3772 from the watersH4325 that come downH3381 from aboveH4605; and they shall standH5975 upon anH259 heapH5067.
And it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 removedH5265 from their tentsH168, to pass overH5674 JordanH3383, and the priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971;
And as they that bareH5375 the arkH727 were comeH935 unto JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 were dippedH2881 in the brimH7097 of the waterH4325, (for JordanH3383 overflowethH4390 all his banksH1415 all the timeH3117 of harvestH7105,)
That the watersH4325 which came downH3381 from aboveH4605 stoodH5975 and rose upH6965 upon anH259 heapH5067 veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892 AdamH121, that is besideH6654 ZaretanH6891: and those that came downH3381 toward the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, even the saltH4417 seaH3220, failedH8552, and were cut offH3772: and the peopleH5971 passed overH5674 right against JerichoH3405.
And the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 firmH3559 on dry groundH2724 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and all the IsraelitesH3478 passed overH5674 on dry groundH2724, until all the peopleH1471 were passedH5674 cleanH8552 overH5674 JordanH3383.
The seaH3220 sawH7200 it, and fledH5127: JordanH3383 was drivenH5437 backH268.
The mountainsH2022 skippedH7540 like ramsH352, and the little hillsH1389 like lambsH1121+H6629.
What ailed thee, O thou seaH3220, that thou fleddestH5127? thou JordanH3383, that thou wast drivenH5437 backH268?
Now JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462 shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: none went outH3318, and none came inH935. {was…: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thine handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892, all ye menH582 of warH4421, and go round aboutH5362 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259. Thus shalt thou doH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 beforeH6440 the arkH727 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a longH4900 blast with the ram'sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fall downH5307 flatH8478, and the peopleH5971 shall ascend upH5927 every manH376 straight before him. {flat: Heb. under it}
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Pass onH5674, and compassH5437 the cityH5892, and let him that is armedH2502 pass onH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the peopleH5971, that the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 followedH1980 themH310.
And the armedH2502 men wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628+H8628 with the trumpetsH7782, and the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782. {rereward: Heb. gathering host}
And JoshuaH3091 had commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Ye shall not shoutH7321, nor make any noiseH8085 with your voiceH6963, neither shall any wordH1697 proceedH3318 out of your mouthH6310, until the dayH3117 I bidH559 you shoutH7321; then shall ye shoutH7321. {any noise…: Heb. your voice to be heard}
So the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 compassedH5437 the cityH5892, going aboutH5362 it onceH6471+H259: and they cameH935 into the campH4264, and lodgedH3885 in the campH4264.
And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 went onH1980 continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; but the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259, and returnedH7725 into the campH4264: so they didH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they rose earlyH7925 about the dawningH5927 of the dayH7837, and compassedH5437 the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the cityH5892.
And the cityH5892 shall be accursedH2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORDH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. {accursed: or, devoted}
And ye, in any wiseH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the accursed thingH2764, lest ye make yourselves accursedH2763, when ye takeH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curseH2764, and troubleH5916 it. {accursed: or, devoted} {a curse: or, devoted}
But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are consecratedH6944 unto the LORDH3068: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of the LORDH3068. {consecrated: Heb. holiness}
So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 when the priests blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, that the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307, so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. {flat: Heb. under it}
And they utterly destroyedH2763 all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and assH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
But JoshuaH3091 had saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270 the countryH776, GoH935 into the harlot'sH2181 houseH1004, and bring outH3318 thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto her.
And the young menH5288 that were spiesH7270 went inH935, and brought outH3318 RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethrenH251, and all that she had; and they brought outH3318 all her kindredH4940, and leftH3240 them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. {kindred: Heb. families}
And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein: only the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 savedH2421 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 aliveH2421, and her father'sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had; and she dwellethH3427 inH7130 IsraelH3478 even unto this dayH3117; because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, which JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JerichoH3405.
And JoshuaH3091 adjuredH7650 them at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that riseth upH6965 and buildethH1129 this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: he shall lay the foundationH3245 thereof in his firstbornH1060, and in his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324 the gatesH1817 of it.
So the LORDH3068 was with JoshuaH3091; and his fameH8089 was noised throughout all the countryH776.
By faithG4102 the wallsG5038 of JerichoG2410 fell downG4098, after they were compassedG2944 aboutG1909 sevenG2033 daysG2250.
And JoshuaH3091 adjuredH7650 them at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that riseth upH6965 and buildethH1129 this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: he shall lay the foundationH3245 thereof in his firstbornH1060, and in his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324 the gatesH1817 of it.
In his daysH3117 did HielH2419 the BetheliteH1017 buildH1129 JerichoH3405: he laid the foundationH3245 thereof in AbiramH48 his firstbornH1060, and set upH5324 the gatesH1817 thereof in his youngestH6810 son SegubH7687, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, which he spakeH1696 byH3027 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126.
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 swareH7650 unto them.
Then there was a famineH7458 in the daysH3117 of DavidH1732 threeH7969 yearsH8141, yearH8141 afterH310 yearH8141; and DavidH1732 enquiredH1245 ofH6440 the LORDH3068. And the LORDH3068 answeredH559, It is for SaulH7586, and for his bloodyH1818 houseH1004, because he slewH4191 the GibeonitesH1393. {enquired…: Heb. sought the face, etc}
Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass, that the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, Moses'H4872 ministerH8334, sayingH559,
MosesH4872 my servantH5650 is deadH4191; now therefore ariseH6965, go overH5674 this JordanH3383, thou, and all this peopleH5971, unto the landH776 which I do giveH5414 to them, even to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Every placeH4725 that the soleH3709 of your footH7272 shall tread uponH1869, that have I givenH5414 unto you, as I saidH1696 unto MosesH4872.
From the wildernessH4057 and this LebanonH3844 even unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, all the landH776 of the HittitesH2850, and unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 toward the going downH3996 of the sunH8121, shall be your coastH1366.
There shall not any manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 thee all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee: I will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee.
Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for unto this peopleH5971 shalt thou divide for an inheritanceH5157 the landH776, which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them. {unto this…: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc}
Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212. {prosper: or, do wisely}
This bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310; but thou shalt meditateH1897 therein dayH3119 and nightH3915, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that is writtenH3789 therein: for then thou shalt makeH6743 thy wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and then thou shalt have good successH7919. {have…: or, do wisely}
Have not I commandedH6680 thee? Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553; be not afraidH6206, neither be thou dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee whithersoever thou goestH3212.
Then JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the officersH7860 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
PassH5674 throughH7130 the hostH4264, and commandH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, PrepareH3559 you victualsH6720; for within threeH7969 daysH3117 ye shall pass overH5674 this JordanH3383, to go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 you to possessH3423 it.
And to the ReubenitesH7206, and to the GaditesH1425, and to halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, spakeH559 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
RememberH2142 the wordH1697 which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given you restH5117, and hath givenH5414 you this landH776.
Your wivesH802, your little onesH2945, and your cattleH4735, shall remainH3427 in the landH776 which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 you on this sideH5676 JordanH3383; but ye shall passH5674 beforeH6440 your brethrenH251 armedH2571, all the mightyH1368 men of valourH2428, and helpH5826 them; {armed: Heb. marshalled by five}
Until the LORDH3068 have givenH5117 your brethrenH251 restH5117, as he hath given you, and they also have possessedH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 them: then ye shall returnH7725 unto the landH776 of your possessionH3425, and enjoyH3423 it, which MosesH4872 the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650 gaveH5414 you on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121.
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, All that thou commandestH6680 us we will doH6213, and whithersoeverH834 thou sendestH7971 us, we will goH3212.
According as we hearkenedH8085 unto MosesH4872 in all things, so will we hearkenH8085 unto thee: only the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 be with thee, as he was with MosesH4872.
WhosoeverH376 he be that doth rebelH4784 against thy commandmentH6310, and will not hearkenH8085 unto thy wordsH1697 in all that thou commandestH6680 him, he shall be put to deathH4191: only be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553.
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}
And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which were on the sideH5676 of JordanH3383 westwardH3220, and all the kingsH4428 of the CanaanitesH3669, which were by the seaH3220, heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 had dried upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, until we were passed overH5674, that their heartH3824 meltedH4549, neither was there spiritH7307 in them any more, becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the second timeH8145. {sharp…: or, knives of flints}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumcisedH4135 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190. {sharp…: or, knives of flints} {the hill…: or, Gibeah-haaraloth}
And this is the causeH1697 why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: All the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH582 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they came outH3318 of EgyptH4714.
NowH3588 all the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 were circumcisedH4135: but all the peopleH5971 that were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, them they had not circumcisedH4135.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the peopleH1471 that were menH582 of warH4421, which came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: unto whom the LORDH3068 swareH7650 that he would not shewH7200 them the landH776, which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And their childrenH1121, whom he raised upH6965 in their stead, them JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135: for they were uncircumcisedH6189, because they had not circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870.
And it came to pass, when they had doneH8552 circumcisingH4135 all the peopleH1471, that they abodeH3427 in their places in the campH4264, till they were wholeH2421. {they had…: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolled awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 GilgalH1537 unto this dayH3117. {Gilgal: that is Rolling}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537, and keptH6213 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405.
And they did eatH398 of the old cornH5669 of the landH776 on the morrowH4283 after the passoverH6453, unleavened cakesH4682, and parchedH7033 corn in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117.
And the mannaH4478 ceasedH7673 on the morrowH4283 after they had eatenH398 of the old cornH5669 of the landH776; neither had the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 mannaH4478 any more; but they did eatH398 of the fruitH8393 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667 that yearH8141.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 was by JerichoH3405, that he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over against him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversariesH6862?
And he saidH559, Nay; but as captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the LORDH3068 am I now comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and did worshipH7812, and saidH559 unto him, What saithH1696 my lordH113 unto his servantH5650? {captain: or, prince}
And the captainH8269 of the LORD'SH3068 hostH6635 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, LooseH5394 thy shoeH5275 from off thy footH7272; for the placeH4725 whereon thou standestH5975 is holyH6944. And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 so.
Now JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462 shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: none went outH3318, and none came inH935. {was…: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thine handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892, all ye menH582 of warH4421, and go round aboutH5362 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259. Thus shalt thou doH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 beforeH6440 the arkH727 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a longH4900 blast with the ram'sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fall downH5307 flatH8478, and the peopleH5971 shall ascend upH5927 every manH376 straight before him. {flat: Heb. under it}
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Pass onH5674, and compassH5437 the cityH5892, and let him that is armedH2502 pass onH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the peopleH5971, that the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 followedH1980 themH310.
And the armedH2502 men wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628+H8628 with the trumpetsH7782, and the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782. {rereward: Heb. gathering host}
And JoshuaH3091 had commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Ye shall not shoutH7321, nor make any noiseH8085 with your voiceH6963, neither shall any wordH1697 proceedH3318 out of your mouthH6310, until the dayH3117 I bidH559 you shoutH7321; then shall ye shoutH7321. {any noise…: Heb. your voice to be heard}
So the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 compassedH5437 the cityH5892, going aboutH5362 it onceH6471+H259: and they cameH935 into the campH4264, and lodgedH3885 in the campH4264.
And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 went onH1980 continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; but the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259, and returnedH7725 into the campH4264: so they didH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they rose earlyH7925 about the dawningH5927 of the dayH7837, and compassedH5437 the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the cityH5892.
And the cityH5892 shall be accursedH2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORDH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. {accursed: or, devoted}
And ye, in any wiseH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the accursed thingH2764, lest ye make yourselves accursedH2763, when ye takeH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curseH2764, and troubleH5916 it. {accursed: or, devoted} {a curse: or, devoted}
But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are consecratedH6944 unto the LORDH3068: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of the LORDH3068. {consecrated: Heb. holiness}
So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 when the priests blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, that the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307, so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. {flat: Heb. under it}
And they utterly destroyedH2763 all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and assH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
But JoshuaH3091 had saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270 the countryH776, GoH935 into the harlot'sH2181 houseH1004, and bring outH3318 thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto her.
And the young menH5288 that were spiesH7270 went inH935, and brought outH3318 RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethrenH251, and all that she had; and they brought outH3318 all her kindredH4940, and leftH3240 them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. {kindred: Heb. families}
And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein: only the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 savedH2421 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 aliveH2421, and her father'sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had; and she dwellethH3427 inH7130 IsraelH3478 even unto this dayH3117; because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, which JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JerichoH3405.
And JoshuaH3091 adjuredH7650 them at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that riseth upH6965 and buildethH1129 this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: he shall lay the foundationH3245 thereof in his firstbornH1060, and in his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324 the gatesH1817 of it.
So the LORDH3068 was with JoshuaH3091; and his fameH8089 was noised throughout all the countryH776.
But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764: for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the accursed thingH2764: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH582 from JerichoH3405 to AiH5857, which is besideH5973 BethavenH1007, on the east sideH6924 of BethelH1008, and spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, Go upH5927 and viewH7270 the countryH776. And the menH582 went upH5927 and viewedH7270 AiH5857.
And they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 unto him, Let not all the peopleH5971 go upH5927; but let about two or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 go upH5927 and smiteH5221 AiH5857; and make not all the peopleH5971 to labourH3021 thither; for they are but fewH4592. {about…: Heb. about two thousand men, or, about three thousand men}
So there went upH5927 thither of the peopleH5971 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH582 of AiH5857.
And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them in the going downH4174: wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and became as waterH4325. {in…: or, in Morad}
And JoshuaH3091 rentH7167 his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 until the eventideH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and putH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Alas, OH162 LordH136 GODH3069, wherefore hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? would to GodH3863 we had been contentH2974, and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383!
OH994 LordH136, what shall I sayH559, whenH310 IsraelH3478 turnethH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341! {backs: Heb. necks}
For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us roundH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Get thee upH6965; wherefore liestH5307 thou thus upon thy faceH6440? {liest: Heb. fallest}
IsraelH3478 hath sinnedH2398, and they have also transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them: for they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and have also stolenH1589, and dissembledH3584 also, and they have putH7760 it even among their own stuffH3627.
Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 couldH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, but turnedH6437 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, because they were accursedH2764: neither will I be with you any moreH3254, exceptH3808 ye destroyH8045 the accursedH2764 from amongH7130 you.
UpH6965, sanctifyH6942 the peopleH5971, and sayH559, SanctifyH6942 yourselves against to morrowH4279: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, There is an accursed thingH2764 in the midstH7130 of thee, O IsraelH3478: thou canstH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH341, until ye take awayH5493 the accursed thingH2764 from amongH7130 you.
In the morningH1242 therefore ye shall be broughtH7126 according to your tribesH7626: and it shall be, that the tribeH7626 which the LORDH3068 takethH3920 shall comeH7126 according to the familiesH4940 thereof; and the familyH4940 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 by householdsH1004; and the householdH1004 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 manH1397 by manH1397.
And it shall be, that he that is takenH3920 with the accursed thingH2764 shall be burntH8313 with fireH784, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and because he hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478. {folly: or, wickedness}
So JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and broughtH7126 IsraelH3478 by their tribesH7626; and the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of JudahH3063; and he tookH3920 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227: and he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227 manH1397 by manH1397; and ZabdiH2067 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 his householdH1004 manH1397 by manH1397; and AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, was takenH3920.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto AchanH5912, My sonH1121, giveH7760, I pray thee, gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto him; and tellH5046 me now what thou hast doneH6213; hideH3582 it not from me.
And AchanH5912 answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, IndeedH546 I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and thus and thus have I doneH6213:
When I sawH7200 among the spoilsH7998 aH259 goodlyH2896 BabylonishH8152 garmentH155, and two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and aH259 wedgeH3956 of goldH2091 of fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 weightH4948, then I covetedH2530 them, and tookH3947 them; and, behold, they are hidH2934 in the earthH776 in the midstH8432 of my tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it. {wedge: Heb. tongue}
So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and they ranH7323 unto the tentH168; and, behold, it was hidH2934 in his tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it.
And they tookH3947 them out of the midstH8432 of the tentH168, and broughtH935 them unto JoshuaH3091, and unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and laid them outH3332 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {laid: Heb. poured}
And JoshuaH3091, and all IsraelH3478 with him, tookH3947 AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, and the silverH3701, and the garmentH155, and the wedgeH3956 of goldH2091, and his sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323, and his oxenH7794, and his assesH2543, and his sheepH6629, and his tentH168, and all that he had: and they broughtH5927 them unto the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, WhyH4100 hast thou troubledH5916 us? the LORDH3068 shall troubleH5916 thee this dayH3117. And all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stonesH68, and burnedH8313 them with fireH784, after they had stonedH5619 them with stonesH68.
And they raisedH6965 over him a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 unto this dayH3117. So the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of AchorH5911, unto this dayH3117. {Achor: that is, Trouble}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, FearH3372 not, neither be thou dismayedH2865: takeH3947 all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with thee, and ariseH6965, go upH5927 to AiH5857: seeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thy handH3027 the kingH4428 of AiH5857, and his peopleH5971, and his cityH5892, and his landH776:
And thou shalt doH6213 to AiH5857 and her kingH4428 as thou didstH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428: only the spoilH7998 thereof, and the cattleH929 thereof, shall ye take for a preyH962 unto yourselves: layH7760 thee an ambushH693 for the cityH5892 behindH310 it.
So JoshuaH3091 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421, to go upH5927 against AiH5857: and JoshuaH3091 chose outH977 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 mightyH1368 menH376 of valourH2428, and sent them awayH7971 by nightH3915.
And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, BeholdH7200, ye shall lie in waitH693 against the cityH5892, even behindH310 the cityH5892: goH7368 not veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892, but be ye all readyH3559:
And I, and all the peopleH5971 that are with me, will approachH7126 unto the cityH5892: and it shall come to pass, when they come outH3318 againstH7125 us, as at the firstH7223, that we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them,
(For they will come outH3318 afterH310 us) till we have drawnH5423 them from the cityH5892; for they will sayH559, They fleeH5127 beforeH6440 us, as at the firstH7223: therefore we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them. {drawn: Heb. pulled}
Then ye shall rise upH6965 from the ambushH693, and seizeH3423 upon the cityH5892: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 it into your handH3027.
And it shall be, when ye have takenH8610 the cityH5892, that ye shall setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784: according to the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068 shall ye doH6213. SeeH7200, I have commandedH6680 you.
JoshuaH3091 therefore sent them forthH7971: and they wentH3212 to lie in ambushH3993, and abodeH3427 between BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the west sideH3220 of AiH5857: but JoshuaH3091 lodgedH3885 that nightH3915 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
And JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and numberedH6485 the peopleH5971, and went upH5927, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 to AiH5857.
And all the peopleH5971, even the people of warH4421 that were with him, went upH5927, and drew nighH5066, and cameH935 before the cityH5892, and pitchedH2583 on the north sideH6828 of AiH5857: now there was a valleyH1516 between them and AiH5857.
And he tookH3947 about fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376, and setH7760 them to lie in ambushH693 between BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the west sideH3220 of the cityH5857+H5892. {of…: or, of Ai}
And when they had setH7760 the peopleH5971, even all the hostH4264 that was on the northH6828 of the cityH5892, and their liers in waitH6119 on the westH3220 of the cityH5892, JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 that nightH3915 into the midstH8432 of the valleyH6010. {liers…: Heb. lying in wait}
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 of AiH5857 sawH7200 it, that they hastedH4116 and rose up earlyH7925, and the menH582 of the cityH5892 went outH3318 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 to battleH4421, he and all his peopleH5971, at a time appointedH4150, beforeH6440 the plainH6160; but he wistH3045 not that there were liers in ambushH693 against him behindH310 the cityH5892.
And JoshuaH3091 and all IsraelH3478 made as if they were beatenH5060 beforeH6440 them, and fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057.
And all the peopleH5971 that were in AiH5857+H5892 were calledH2199 together to pursueH7291 afterH310 them: and they pursuedH7291 afterH310 JoshuaH3091, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892.
And there was not a manH376 leftH7604 in AiH5857 or BethelH1008, that went not outH3318 afterH310 IsraelH3478: and they leftH5800 the cityH5892 openH6605, and pursuedH7291 after IsraelH3478.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Stretch outH5186 the spearH3591 that is in thy handH3027 toward AiH5857; for I will giveH5414 it into thine handH3027. And JoshuaH3091 stretched outH5186 the spearH3591 that he had in his handH3027 toward the cityH5892.
And the ambushH693 aroseH6965 quicklyH4120 out of their placeH4725, and they ranH7323 as soon as he had stretched outH5186 his handH3027: and they enteredH935 into the cityH5892, and tookH3920 it, and hastedH4116 and setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784.
And when the menH582 of AiH5857 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, they sawH7200, and, behold, the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascended upH5927 to heavenH8064, and they had no powerH3027 to fleeH5127 this way or that wayH2008: and the peopleH5971 that fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 turned backH2015 upon the pursuersH7291. {power: Heb. hand}
And when JoshuaH3091 and all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the ambushH693 had takenH3920 the cityH5892, and that the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascendedH5927, then they turned againH7725, and slewH5221 the menH582 of AiH5857.
And the otherH428 issued outH3318 of the cityH5892 againstH7125 them; so they were in the midstH8432 of IsraelH3478, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smoteH5221 them, so thatH5704 they letH7604 none of them remainH8300 or escapeH6412.
And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 they tookH8610 aliveH2416, and broughtH7126 him to JoshuaH3091.
And it came to pass, when IsraelH3478 had made an endH3615 of slayingH2026 all the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857 in the fieldH7704, in the wildernessH4057 wherein they chasedH7291 them, and when they were all fallenH5307 on the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, until they were consumedH8552, that all the IsraelitesH3478 returnedH7725 unto AiH5857, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
And so it was, that all that fellH5307 that dayH3117, both of menH376 and womenH802, were twelveH8147+H6240 thousandH505, even all the menH582 of AiH5857.
For JoshuaH3091 drewH7725 not his handH3027 backH7725, wherewith he stretched outH5186 the spearH3591, until he had utterly destroyedH2763 all the inhabitantsH3427 of AiH5857.
Only the cattleH929 and the spoilH7998 of that cityH5892 IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962 unto themselves, according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 which he commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091.
And JoshuaH3091 burntH8313 AiH5857, and madeH7760 it an heapH8510 for everH5769, even a desolationH8077 unto this dayH3117.
And the kingH4428 of AiH5857 he hangedH8518 on a treeH6086 until eventideH6256+H6153: and as soon as the sunH8121 was downH935, JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 that they should takeH3381 his carcaseH5038 downH3381 from the treeH6086, and castH7993 it at the enteringH6607 of the gateH8179 of the cityH5892, and raiseH6965 thereon a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68, that remaineth unto this dayH3117.
Then JoshuaH3091 builtH1129 an altarH4196 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 in mountH2022 EbalH5858,
As MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, an altarH4196 of wholeH8003 stonesH68, over which no man hath lift upH5130 any ironH1270: and they offeredH5927 thereon burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068, and sacrificedH2076 peace offeringsH8002.
And he wroteH3789 there upon the stonesH68 a copyH4932 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which he wroteH3789 in the presenceH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And all IsraelH3478, and their eldersH2205, and officersH7860, and their judgesH8199, stoodH5975 on this side the arkH727 and on that side before the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, as well the strangerH1616, as he that was bornH249 among them; halfH2677 of them overH413 againstH4136 mountH2022 GerizimH1630, and halfH2677 of them over againstH4136 mountH2022 EbalH5858; as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 beforeH7223, that they should blessH1288 the peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478.
And afterwardH310 he readH7121 all the wordsH1697 of the lawH8451, the blessingsH1293 and cursingsH7045, according to all that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451.
There was not a wordH1697 of all that MosesH4872 commandedH6680, which JoshuaH3091 readH7121 not before all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, with the womenH802, and the little onesH2945, and the strangersH1616 that were conversantH1980 amongH7130 them. {were…: Heb. walked}
And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 which were on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, in the hillsH2022, and in the valleysH8219, and in all the coastsH2348 of the greatH1419 seaH3220 over againstH4136 LebanonH3844, the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, heardH8085 thereof;
That they gatheredH6908 themselves togetherH3162, to fightH3898 with JoshuaH3091 and with IsraelH3478, with oneH259 accordH6310. {accord: Heb. mouth}
And when the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 heardH8085 what JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857,
They did workH6213 wililyH6195, and wentH3212 and made as if they had been ambassadorsH6737, and tookH3947 oldH1087 sacksH8242 upon their assesH2543, and wineH3196 bottlesH4997, oldH1087, and rentH1234, and bound upH6887;
And oldH1087 shoesH5275 and cloutedH2921 upon their feetH7272, and oldH1087 garmentsH8008 upon them; and all the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and mouldyH5350.
And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 unto him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We be comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the HivitesH2340, PeradventureH194 ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us; and how shall we makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with you?
And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, We are thy servantsH5650. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Who are ye? and from whenceH370 comeH935 ye?
And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
And all that he didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and to OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was at AshtarothH6252.
Wherefore our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spakeH559 to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 victualsH6720 with youH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH3212 to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 unto them, We are your servantsH5650: therefore now makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us. {with you: Heb. in your hand}
This our breadH3899 we took hotH2525 for our provisionH6679 out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 we came forthH3318 to goH3212 unto you; but now, behold, it is dryH3001, and it is mouldyH5350:
And these bottlesH4997 of wineH3196, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they be rentH1234: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.
And the menH582 tookH3947 of their victualsH6718, and askedH7592 not counsel at the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. {the men…: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 swareH7650 unto them.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighboursH7138, and that they dweltH3427 amongH7130 them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and ChephirahH3716, and BeerothH881, and KirjathjearimH7157.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 against the princesH5387.
But all the princesH5387 saidH559 unto all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478: now therefore we mayH3201 not touchH5060 them.
This we will doH6213 to them; we will even let them liveH2421, lest wrathH7110 be upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we swareH7650 unto them.
And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, Let them liveH2421; but let them be hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto all the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had promisedH1696 them.
And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for them, and he spakeH1696 unto them, sayingH559, Wherefore have ye beguiledH7411 us, sayingH559, We are veryH3966 farH7350 from you; when ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us?
Now therefore ye are cursedH779, and there shall none of you be freedH3772 from being bondmenH5650, and hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430. {none…: Heb. not be cut off from you}
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, Because it was certainlyH5046 toldH5046 thy servantsH5650, how that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 his servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you all the landH776, and to destroyH8045 all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 from beforeH6440 you, therefore we were soreH3966 afraidH3372 of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of you, and have doneH6213 this thingH1697.
And now, behold, weH2009 are in thine handH3027: as it seemethH5869 goodH2896 and rightH3477 unto thee to doH6213 unto us, doH6213.
And so didH6213 he unto them, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they slewH2026 them not.
And JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them that dayH3117 hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the congregationH5712, and for the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, even unto this dayH3117, in the placeH4725 which he should chooseH977. {made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}
Now it came to pass, when AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 had heardH8085 howH3588 JoshuaH3091 had takenH3920 AiH5857, and had utterly destroyedH2763 it; as he had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428, so he had doneH6213 to AiH5857 and her kingH4428; and how the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 had made peaceH7999 with IsraelH3478, and were amongH7130 them;
That they fearedH3372 greatlyH3966, because GibeonH1391 was a greatH1419 cityH5892, as oneH259 of the royalH4467 citiesH5892, and because it was greaterH1419 than AiH5857, and all the menH582 thereof were mightyH1368. {royal…: Heb. cities of the kingdom}
Wherefore AdonizedekH139 kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389 sentH7971 unto HohamH1944 kingH4428 of HebronH2275, and unto PiramH6502 kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, and unto JaphiaH3309 kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and unto DebirH1688 kingH4428 of EglonH5700, sayingH559,
Come upH5927 unto me, and helpH5826 me, that we may smiteH5221 GibeonH1391: for it hath made peaceH7999 with JoshuaH3091 and with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Therefore the fiveH2568 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, the kingH4428 of EglonH5700, gathered themselves togetherH622, and went upH5927, they and all their hostsH4264, and encampedH2583 before GibeonH1391, and made warH3898 against it.
And the menH582 of GibeonH1391 sentH7971 unto JoshuaH3091 to the campH4264 to GilgalH1537, sayingH559, SlackH7503 not thy handH3027 from thy servantsH5650; come upH5927 to us quicklyH4120, and saveH3467 us, and helpH5826 us: for all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 that dwellH3427 in the mountainsH2022 are gathered togetherH6908 against us.
So JoshuaH3091 ascendedH5927 from GilgalH1537, he, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, and all the mightyH1368 men of valourH2428.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, FearH3372 them not: for I have deliveredH5414 them into thine handH3027; there shall not a manH376 of them standH5975 beforeH6440 thee.
JoshuaH3091 therefore cameH935 unto them suddenlyH6597, and went upH5927 from GilgalH1537 all nightH3915.
And the LORDH3068 discomfitedH2000 them beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and slewH5221 them with a greatH1419 slaughterH4347 at GibeonH1391, and chasedH7291 them along the wayH1870 that goeth upH4608 to BethhoronH1032, and smoteH5221 them to AzekahH5825, and unto MakkedahH4719.
And it came to pass, as they fledH5127 from beforeH6440 IsraelH3478, and were in the going downH4174 to BethhoronH1032, that the LORDH3068 cast downH7993 greatH1419 stonesH68 from heavenH8064 upon them unto AzekahH5825, and they diedH4191: they were moreH7227 which diedH4191 with hailstonesH1259+H68 than they whomH834 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slewH2026 with the swordH2719.
Then spakeH1696 JoshuaH3091 to the LORDH3068 in the dayH3117 when the LORDH3068 delivered upH5414 the AmoritesH567 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and he saidH559 in the sightH5869 of IsraelH3478, SunH8121, stand thou stillH1826 upon GibeonH1391; and thou, MoonH3394, in the valleyH6010 of AjalonH357. {stand…: Heb. be silent}
And the sunH8121 stood stillH1826, and the moonH3394 stayedH5975, until the peopleH1471 had avengedH5358 themselves upon their enemiesH341. Is not thisH1931 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of JasherH3477? So the sunH8121 stood stillH5975 in the midstH2677 of heavenH8064, and hastedH213 not to go downH935 about a wholeH8549 dayH3117. {Jasher: or, the upright?}
And there was no dayH3117 like that beforeH6440 it or afterH310 it, that the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 unto the voiceH6963 of a manH376: for the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto the campH4264 to GilgalH1537.
But these fiveH2568 kingsH4428 fledH5127, and hidH2244 themselves in a caveH4631 at MakkedahH4719.
And it was toldH5046 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, The fiveH2568 kingsH4428 are foundH4672 hidH2244 in a caveH4631 at MakkedahH4719.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, RollH1556 greatH1419 stonesH68 upon the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and setH6485 menH582 by it for to keepH8104 them:
And stayH5975 ye not, but pursueH7291 afterH310 your enemiesH341, and smite the hindmostH2179 of them; sufferH5414 them not to enterH935 into their citiesH5892: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027. {smite…: Heb. cut off the tail}
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 had made an endH3615 of slayingH5221 them with a veryH3966 greatH1419 slaughterH4347, till they were consumedH8552, that the restH8300 which remainedH8277 of them enteredH935 into fencedH4013 citiesH5892.
And all the peopleH5971 returnedH7725 to the campH4264 to JoshuaH3091 at MakkedahH4719 in peaceH7965: none movedH2782 his tongueH3956 against anyH376 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Then saidH559 JoshuaH3091, OpenH6605 the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and bring outH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto me out of the caveH4631.
And they didH6213 so, and brought forthH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto him out of the caveH4631, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, and the kingH4428 of EglonH5700.
And it came to pass, when they brought outH3318 those kingsH4428 unto JoshuaH3091, that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto the captainsH7101 of the menH582 of warH4421 which wentH1980 with him, Come nearH7126, putH7760 your feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of these kingsH4428. And they came nearH7126, and putH7760 their feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of them.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865, be strongH2388 and of good courageH553: for thus shall the LORDH3068 doH6213 to all your enemiesH341 against whom ye fightH3898.
And afterwardH310 JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them, and hangedH8518 them on fiveH2568 treesH6086: and they were hangingH8518 upon the treesH6086 until the eveningH6153.
And it came to pass at the timeH6256 of the going downH935 of the sunH8121, that JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and they took them downH3381 off the treesH6086, and castH7993 them into the caveH4631 wherein they had been hidH2244, and laidH7760 greatH1419 stonesH68 in the cave'sH4631 mouthH6310, which remain until this veryH6106 dayH3117.
And that dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 tookH3920 MakkedahH4719, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof he utterly destroyedH2763, them, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300: and he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
Then JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from MakkedahH4719, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LibnahH3841, and foughtH3898 against LibnahH3841:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 it also, and the kingH4428 thereof, into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he letH7604 none remainH8300 in it; but didH6213 unto the kingH4428 thereof as he didH6213 unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
And JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from LibnahH3841, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LachishH3923, and encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it:
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 LachishH3923 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, which tookH3920 it on the secondH8145 dayH3117, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein, according to all that he had doneH6213 to LibnahH3841.
Then HoramH2036 kingH4428 of GezerH1507 came upH5927 to helpH5826 LachishH3923; and JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 him and his peopleH5971, until he had leftH7604 him none remainingH8300.
And from LachishH3923 JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 unto EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him; and they encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it:
And they tookH3920 it on that dayH3117, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein he utterly destroyedH2763 that dayH3117, according to all that he had doneH6213 to LachishH3923.
And JoshuaH3091 went upH5927 from EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto HebronH2275; and they foughtH3898 against it:
And they tookH3920 it, and smoteH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300, according to all that he had doneH6213 to EglonH5700; but destroyedH2763 it utterly, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, to DebirH1688; and foughtH3898 against it:
And he tookH3920 it, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof; and they smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and utterly destroyedH2763 all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH8300: as he had doneH6213 to HebronH2275, so he didH6213 to DebirH1688, and to the kingH4428 thereof; as he had doneH6213 also to LibnahH3841, and to her kingH4428.
So JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 all the countryH776 of the hillsH2022, and of the southH5045, and of the valeH8219, and of the springsH794, and all their kingsH4428: he leftH7604 none remainingH8300, but utterly destroyedH2763 all that breathedH5397, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commandedH6680.
And JoshuaH3091 smoteH5221 them from KadeshbarneaH6947 even unto GazaH5804, and all the countryH776 of GoshenH1657, even unto GibeonH1391.
And all these kingsH4428 and their landH776 did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920 at oneH259 timeH6471, because the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto the campH4264 to GilgalH1537.
And it came to pass, when JabinH2985 kingH4428 of HazorH2674 had heardH8085 those things, that he sentH7971 to JobabH3103 kingH4428 of MadonH4068, and to the kingH4428 of ShimronH8110, and to the kingH4428 of AchshaphH407,
And to the kingsH4428 that were on the northH6828 of the mountainsH2022, and of the plainsH6160 southH5045 of ChinnerothH3672, and in the valleyH8219, and in the bordersH5299 of DorH1756 on the westH3220,
And to the CanaaniteH3669 on the eastH4217 and on the westH3220, and to the AmoriteH567, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the JebusiteH2983 in the mountainsH2022, and to the HiviteH2340 under HermonH2768 in the landH776 of MizpehH4709.
And they went outH3318, they and all their hostsH4264 with them, muchH7227 peopleH5971, even as the sandH2344 that is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitudeH7230, with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 veryH3966 manyH7227.
And when all these kingsH4428 were met togetherH3259, they cameH935 and pitchedH2583 togetherH3162 at the watersH4325 of MeromH4792, to fightH3898 against IsraelH3478. {met…: Heb. assembled by appointment}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Be not afraidH3372 becauseH6440 of them: for to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 will I deliver them upH5414 all slainH2491 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: thou shalt houghH6131 their horsesH5483, and burnH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.
So JoshuaH3091 cameH935, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, against them by the watersH4325 of MeromH4792 suddenlyH6597; and they fell uponH5307 them.
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 them, and chasedH7291 them unto greatH7227 ZidonH6721, and unto MisrephothmaimH4956, and unto the valleyH1237 of MizpehH4708 eastwardH4217; and they smoteH5221 them, until they leftH7604 them none remainingH8300. {great Zidon: or, Zidonrabbah} {Misrephothmaim: or, Salt pits: Heb. Burnings of waters}
And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 unto them as the LORDH3068 badeH559 him: he houghedH6131 their horsesH5483, and burntH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.
And JoshuaH3091 at that timeH6256 turned backH7725, and tookH3920 HazorH2674, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 thereof with the swordH2719: for HazorH2674 beforetimeH6440 was the headH7218 of all those kingdomsH4467.
And they smoteH5221 all the soulsH5315 that were therein with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, utterly destroyingH2763 them: there was not any leftH3498 to breatheH5397: and he burntH8313 HazorH2674 with fireH784. {any…: Heb. any breath}
And all the citiesH5892 of those kingsH4428, and all the kingsH4428 of them, did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and he utterly destroyedH2763 them, as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680.
But as for the citiesH5892 that stoodH5975 still in their strengthH8510, IsraelH3478 burnedH8313 none of them, saveH2108 HazorH2674 only; that did JoshuaH3091 burnH8313. {in their…: Heb. on their heap}
And all the spoilH7998 of these citiesH5892, and the cattleH929, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962 unto themselves; but every manH120 they smoteH5221 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, until they had destroyedH8045 them, neither leftH7604 they any to breatheH5397.
As the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 his servantH5650, so did MosesH4872 commandH6680 JoshuaH3091, and so didH6213 JoshuaH3091; he leftH5493 nothingH1697 undoneH5493 of all that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872. {left…: Heb. removed nothing}
So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 all that landH776, the hillsH2022, and all the south countryH5045, and all the landH776 of GoshenH1657, and the valleyH8219, and the plainH6160, and the mountainH2022 of IsraelH3478, and the valleyH8219 of the same;
Even from the mountH2022 HalakH2510, that goeth upH5927 to SeirH8165, even unto BaalgadH1171 in the valleyH1237 of LebanonH3844 under mountH2022 HermonH2768: and all their kingsH4428 he tookH3920, and smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them. {the mount…: or, the smooth mountain}
JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 warH4421 a longH7227 timeH3117 with all those kingsH4428.
There was not a cityH5892 that made peaceH7999 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, save the HivitesH2340 the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391: all other they tookH3947 in battleH4421.
For it was of the LORDH3068 to hardenH2388 their heartsH3820, that they should come againstH7125 IsraelH3478 in battleH4421, that he might destroy them utterlyH2763, and that they might have no favourH8467, but that he might destroyH8045 them, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And at that timeH6256 cameH935 JoshuaH3091, and cut offH3772 the AnakimsH6062 from the mountainsH2022, from HebronH2275, from DebirH1688, from AnabH6024, and from all the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and from all the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478: JoshuaH3091 destroyed them utterlyH2763 with their citiesH5892.
There was none of the AnakimsH6062 leftH3498 in the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: only in GazaH5804, in GathH1661, and in AshdodH795, there remainedH7604.
So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 the whole landH776, according to all that the LORDH3068 saidH1696 unto MosesH4872; and JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414 it for an inheritanceH5159 unto IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256 by their tribesH7626. And the landH776 restedH8252 from warH4421.
Now these are the kingsH4428 of the landH776, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221, and possessedH3423 their landH776 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, from the riverH5158 ArnonH769 unto mountH2022 HermonH2768, and all the plainH6160 on the eastH4217:
SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, who dweltH3427 in HeshbonH2809, and ruledH4910 from AroerH6177, which is upon the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 ArnonH769, and from the middleH8432 of the riverH5158, and from halfH2677 GileadH1568, even unto the riverH5158 JabbokH2999, which is the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983;
And from the plainH6160 to the seaH3220 of ChinnerothH3672 on the eastH4217, and unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, even the saltH4417 seaH3220 on the eastH4217, the wayH1870 to BethjeshimothH1020; and from the southH8486, under AshdothpisgahH798+H794: {the south: or, Teman} {Ashdothpisgah: or, the springs of Pisgah, or, the hill}
And the coastH1366 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was of the remnantH3499 of the giantsH7497, that dweltH3427 at AshtarothH6252 and at EdreiH154,
And reignedH4910 in mountH2022 HermonH2768, and in SalcahH5548, and in all BashanH1316, unto the borderH1366 of the GeshuritesH1651 and the MaachathitesH4602, and halfH2677 GileadH1568, the borderH1366 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809.
Them did MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smiteH5221: and MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 it for a possessionH3425 unto the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519.
And these are the kingsH4428 of the countryH776 which JoshuaH3091 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 on the westH3220, from BaalgadH1171 in the valleyH1237 of LebanonH3844 even unto the mountH2022 HalakH2510, that goeth upH5927 to SeirH8165; which JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414 unto the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 for a possessionH3425 according to their divisionsH4256;
In the mountainsH2022, and in the valleysH8219, and in the plainsH6160, and in the springsH794, and in the wildernessH4057, and in the south countryH5045; the HittitesH2850, the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, the PerizzitesH6522, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983:
The kingH4428 of JerichoH3405, oneH259; the kingH4428 of AiH5857, which is besideH6654 BethelH1008, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, oneH259; the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, oneH259; the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of EglonH5700, oneH259; the kingH4428 of GezerH1507, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of DebirH1688, oneH259; the kingH4428 of GederH1445, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of HormahH2767, oneH259; the kingH4428 of AradH6166, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of LibnahH3841, oneH259; the kingH4428 of AdullamH5725, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719, oneH259; the kingH4428 of BethelH1008, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of TappuahH8599, oneH259; the kingH4428 of HepherH2660, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of AphekH663, oneH259; the kingH4428 of LasharonH8289, oneH259; {Lasharon: or, Sharon}
The kingH4428 of MadonH4068, oneH259; the kingH4428 of HazorH2674, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of ShimronmeronH8112, oneH259; the kingH4428 of AchshaphH407, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of TaanachH8590, oneH259; the kingH4428 of MegiddoH4023, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of KedeshH6943, oneH259; the kingH4428 of JokneamH3362 of CarmelH3760, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of DorH1756 in the coastH5299 of DorH1756, oneH259; the kingH4428 of the nationsH1471 of GilgalH1537, oneH259;
The kingH4428 of TirzahH8656, oneH259: all the kingsH4428 thirtyH7970 and oneH259.
Now JoshuaH3091 was oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Thou art oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117, and there remainethH7604 yet veryH3966 muchH7235 landH776 to be possessedH3423. {to…: Heb. to possess it}
This is the landH776 that yet remainethH7604: all the bordersH1552 of the PhilistinesH6430, and all GeshuriH1651,
From SihorH7883, which is beforeH6440 EgyptH4714, even unto the bordersH1366 of EkronH6138 northwardH6828, which is countedH2803 to the CanaaniteH3669: fiveH2568 lordsH5633 of the PhilistinesH6430; the GazathitesH5841, and the AshdothitesH796, the EshkalonitesH832, the GittitesH1663, and the EkronitesH6139; also the AvitesH5761:
From the southH8486, all the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and MearahH4632 that is beside the SidoniansH6722, unto AphekH663, to the bordersH1366 of the AmoritesH567: {Mearah: or, the cave}
And the landH776 of the GiblitesH1382, and all LebanonH3844, toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121, from BaalgadH1171 under mountH2022 HermonH2768 unto the enteringH935 into HamathH2574.
All the inhabitantsH3427 of the hill countryH2022 from LebanonH3844 unto MisrephothmaimH4956, and all the SidoniansH6722, them will I drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: only divide thou it by lotH5307 unto the IsraelitesH3478 for an inheritanceH5159, as I have commandedH6680 thee.
Now therefore divideH2505 this landH776 for an inheritanceH5159 unto the nineH8672 tribesH7626, and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519,
With whom the ReubenitesH7206 and the GaditesH1425 have receivedH3947 their inheritanceH5159, which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 them, beyondH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217, even as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 them;
From AroerH6177, that is upon the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 ArnonH769, and the cityH5892 that is in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158, and all the plainH4334 of MedebaH4311 unto DibonH1769;
And all the citiesH5892 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, unto the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983;
And GileadH1568, and the borderH1366 of the GeshuritesH1651 and MaachathitesH4602, and all mountH2022 HermonH2768, and all BashanH1316 unto SalcahH5548;
All the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316, which reignedH4427 in AshtarothH6252 and in EdreiH154, who remainedH7604 of the remnantH3499 of the giantsH7497: for these did MosesH4872 smiteH5221, and cast them outH3423.
Nevertheless the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 expelledH3423 not the GeshuritesH1651, nor the MaachathitesH4602: but the GeshuritesH1650 and the MaachathitesH4601 dwellH3427 amongH7130 the IsraelitesH3478 until this dayH3117.
Only unto the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878 he gaveH5414 none inheritanceH5159; the sacrificesH801 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 made by fireH801 are their inheritanceH5159, as he saidH1696 unto them.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 unto the tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 inheritance according to their familiesH4940.
And their coastH1366 was from AroerH6177, that is on the bankH8193 of the riverH5158 ArnonH769, and the cityH5892 that is in the midstH8432 of the riverH5158, and all the plainH4334 by MedebaH4311;
HeshbonH2809, and all her citiesH5892 that are in the plainH4334; DibonH1769, and BamothbaalH1120, and BethbaalmeonH1010, {Bamothbaal…: or, the high places of Baal, and house of Baalmeon}
And JahazahH3096, and KedemothH6932, and MephaathH4158,
And KirjathaimH7156, and SibmahH7643, and ZarethshaharH6890 in the mountH2022 of the valleyH6010,
And BethpeorH1047, and AshdothpisgahH798+H794, and BethjeshimothH1020, {Ashdothpisgah: or, springs of Pisgah, or, the hill}
And all the citiesH5892 of the plainH4334, and all the kingdomH4468 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which reignedH4427 in HeshbonH2809, whom MosesH4872 smoteH5221 with the princesH5387 of MidianH4080, EviH189, and RekemH7552, and ZurH6698, and HurH2354, and RebaH7254, which were dukesH5257 of SihonH5511, dwellingH3427 in the countryH776.
BalaamH1109 also the sonH1121 of BeorH1160, the soothsayerH7080, did the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 slayH2026 with the swordH2719 among themH413 that were slainH2491 by them. {soothsayer: or, diviner}
And the borderH1366 of the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 was JordanH3383, and the borderH1366 thereof. This was the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 after their familiesH4940, the citiesH5892 and the villagesH2691 thereof.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 inheritance unto the tribeH4294 of GadH1410, even unto the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 according to their familiesH4940.
And their coastH1366 was JazerH3270, and all the citiesH5892 of GileadH1568, and halfH2677 the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, unto AroerH6177 that is beforeH6440 RabbahH7237;
And from HeshbonH2809 unto RamathmizpehH7434, and BetonimH993; and from MahanaimH4266 unto the borderH1366 of DebirH1688;
And in the valleyH6010, BetharamH1027, and BethnimrahH1039, and SuccothH5523, and ZaphonH6829, the restH3499 of the kingdomH4468 of SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, JordanH3383 and his borderH1366, even unto the edgeH7097 of the seaH3220 of ChinnerethH3672 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383 eastwardH4217.
This is the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 after their familiesH4940, the citiesH5892, and their villagesH2691.
And MosesH4872 gaveH5414 inheritance unto the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519: and this was the possession of the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 by their familiesH4940.
And their coastH1366 was from MahanaimH4266, all BashanH1316, all the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, and all the townsH2333 of JairH2971, which are in BashanH1316, threescoreH8346 citiesH5892:
And halfH2677 GileadH1568, and AshtarothH6252, and EdreiH154, citiesH5892 of the kingdomH4468 of OgH5747 in BashanH1316, were pertaining unto the childrenH1121 of MachirH4353 the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, even to the one halfH2677 of the childrenH1121 of MachirH4353 by their familiesH4940.
These are the countries which MosesH4872 did distribute for inheritanceH5157 in the plainsH6160 of MoabH4124, on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, by JerichoH3405, eastwardH4217.
But unto the tribeH7626 of LeviH3878 MosesH4872 gaveH5414 not any inheritanceH5159: the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 was their inheritanceH5159, as he saidH1696 unto them.
Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the ReubenitesH7206, and the GaditesH1425, and the halfH2677 tribeH4294 of ManassehH4519,
And saidH559 unto them, Ye have keptH8104 all that MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, and have obeyedH8085 my voiceH6963 in all that I commandedH6680 you:
Ye have not leftH5800 your brethrenH251 these manyH7227 daysH3117 unto this dayH3117, but have keptH8104 the chargeH4931 of the commandmentH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And now the LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given restH5117 unto your brethrenH251, as he promisedH1696 them: therefore now returnH6437 ye, and getH3212 you unto your tentsH168, and unto the landH776 of your possessionH272, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 you on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383.
But take diligentH3966 heedH8104 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 and the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 chargedH6680 you, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to keepH8104 his commandmentsH4687, and to cleaveH1692 unto him, and to serveH5647 him with all your heartH3824 and with all your soulH5315.
So JoshuaH3091 blessedH1288 them, and sent them awayH7971: and they wentH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now to the one halfH2677 of the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 MosesH4872 had givenH5414 possession in BashanH1316: but unto the other halfH2677 thereof gaveH5414 JoshuaH3091 amongH5973 their brethrenH251 on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220. And when JoshuaH3091 sent them awayH7971 also unto their tentsH168, then he blessedH1288 them,
And he spakeH559 unto them, sayingH559, ReturnH7725 with muchH7227 richesH5233 unto your tentsH168, and with veryH3966 muchH7227 cattleH4735, with silverH3701, and with goldH2091, and with brassH5178, and with ironH1270, and with veryH3966 muchH7235 raimentH8008: divideH2505 the spoilH7998 of your enemiesH341 with your brethrenH251.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 returnedH7725, and departedH3212 from the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of ShilohH7887, which is in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to goH3212 unto the countryH776 of GileadH1568, to the landH776 of their possessionH272, whereof they were possessedH270, according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And when they cameH935 unto the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, that are in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 builtH1129 there an altarH4196 by JordanH3383, a greatH1419 altarH4196 to see toH4758.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 sayH559, Behold, the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 have builtH1129 an altarH4196 over againstH4136 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, in the bordersH1552 of JordanH3383, at the passageH5676 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 heardH8085 of it, the whole congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 gathered themselves togetherH6950 at ShilohH7887, to go upH5927 to warH6635 against them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sentH7971 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, into the landH776 of GileadH1568, PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548,
And with him tenH6235 princesH5387, of eachH259+H259 chiefH5387+H5387 houseH1004 a princeH1 throughout all the tribesH4294 of IsraelH3478; and each oneH376 was an headH7218 of the houseH1004 of their fathersH1 among the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478. {chief…: Heb. house of the father}
And they cameH935 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, unto the landH776 of GileadH1568, and they spakeH1696 with them, sayingH559,
Thus saithH559 the whole congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068, What trespassH4604 is this that ye have committedH4603 against the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, to turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, in that ye have buildedH1129 you an altarH4196, that ye might rebelH4775 this dayH3117 against the LORDH3068?
Is the iniquityH5771 of PeorH6465 too littleH4592 for us, from which we are not cleansedH2891 until this dayH3117, although there was a plagueH5063 in the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068,
But that ye must turn awayH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068? and it will be, seeing ye rebelH4775 to dayH3117 against the LORDH3068, that to morrowH4279 he will be wrothH7107 with the whole congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478.
NotwithstandingH389, if the landH776 of your possessionH272 be uncleanH2931, then pass ye overH5674 unto the landH776 of the possessionH272 of the LORDH3068, wherein the LORD'SH3068 tabernacleH4908 dwellethH7931, and take possessionH270 amongH8432 us: but rebelH4775 not against the LORDH3068, norH408 rebelH4775 against us, in buildingH1129 you an altarH4196 besideH1107 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
Did not AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226 commitH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thingH2764, and wrathH7110 fellH1961 on all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478? and that manH376 perishedH1478 not aloneH259 in his iniquityH5771.
Then the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519 answeredH6030, and saidH1696 unto the headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478,
The LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, the LORDH3068 GodH410 of godsH430, he knowethH3045, and IsraelH3478 he shall knowH3045; if it be in rebellionH4777, or if in transgressionH4604 against the LORDH3068, (saveH3467 us not this dayH3117,)
That we have builtH1129 us an altarH4196 to turnH7725 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, or if to offerH5927 thereon burnt offeringH5930 or meat offeringH4503, or if to offerH6213 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077 thereon, let the LORDH3068 himself requireH1245 it;
And if we have not rather doneH6213 it for fearH1674 of this thingH1697, sayingH559, In time to comeH4279 your childrenH1121 might speakH559 unto our childrenH1121, sayingH559, What have ye to do with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478? {In time…: Heb. To morrow}
For the LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 JordanH3383 a borderH1366 between us and you, ye childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and childrenH1121 of GadH1410; ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068: so shall your childrenH1121 makeH7673 our childrenH1121 ceaseH7673 fromH1115 fearingH3372 the LORDH3068.
Therefore we saidH559, Let us now prepareH6213 to buildH1129 us an altarH4196, not for burnt offeringH5930, nor for sacrificeH2077:
But that it may be a witnessH5707 between us, and you, and our generationsH1755 afterH310 us, that we might doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 beforeH6440 him with our burnt offeringsH5930, and with our sacrificesH2077, and with our peace offeringsH8002; that your childrenH1121 may not sayH559 to our childrenH1121 in time to comeH4279, Ye have no partH2506 in the LORDH3068.
Therefore saidH559 we, that it shall be, when they should so sayH559 to us or to our generationsH1755 in time to comeH4279, that we may sayH559 again, BeholdH7200 the patternH8403 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, which our fathersH1 madeH6213, not for burnt offeringsH5930, nor for sacrificesH2077; but it is a witnessH5707 between us and you.
God forbidH2486 that we should rebelH4775 against the LORDH3068, and turnH7725 this dayH3117 from followingH310 the LORDH3068, to buildH1129 an altarH4196 for burnt offeringsH5930, for meat offeringsH4503, or for sacrificesH2077, beside the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430 that is beforeH6440 his tabernacleH4908.
And when PhinehasH6372 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 and headsH7218 of the thousandsH505 of IsraelH3478 which were with him, heardH8085 the wordsH1697 that the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519 spakeH1696, it pleasedH3190+H5869 them. {pleased…: Heb. was good in their eyes}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and to the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and to the childrenH1121 of ManassehH4519, This dayH3117 we perceiveH3045 that the LORDH3068 is amongH8432 us, because ye have not committedH4603 this trespassH4604 against the LORDH3068: nowH227 ye have deliveredH5337 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the handH3027 of the LORDH3068. {now: Heb. then}
And PhinehasH6372 the sonH1121 of EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and the princesH5387, returnedH7725 from the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and from the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, out of the landH776 of GileadH1568, unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667, to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and broughtH7725 them wordH1697 againH7725.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190+H5869 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 blessedH1288 GodH430, and did not intendH559 to go upH5927 against them in battleH6635, to destroyH7843 the landH776 wherein the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and GadH1410 dweltH3427.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 calledH7121 the altarH4196 Ed: for it shall be a witnessH5707 between us that the LORDH3068 is GodH430. {Ed: that is, A witness}
ButG235 withG1722 manyG4119 of themG846 GodG2316 wasG2106 notG3756 well pleasedG2106: forG1063 they were overthrownG2693 inG1722 the wildernessG2048.
NowG1161 these thingsG5023 wereG1096 ourG2257 examplesG5179, to the intentG1519 weG2248 shouldG1511 notG3361 lust after evilG2556 thingsG1938, asG2531 they alsoG2548 lustedG1937. {our…: Gr. our figures}
NeitherG3366 be yeG1096 idolatersG1496, asG2531 were someG5100 of themG846; asG5613 it is writtenG1125, The peopleG2992 sat downG2523 to eatG5315 andG2532 drinkG4095, andG2532 rose upG450 to playG3815.
NeitherG3366 let us commit fornicationG4203, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 committedG4203, andG2532 fellG4098 inG1722 oneG3391 dayG2250 threeG5140 and twentyG1501 thousandG5505.
NeitherG3366 let us temptG1598 ChristG5547, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 temptedG3985, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 serpentsG3789.
NeitherG3366 murmur yeG1111, asG2531 someG5100 of themG846 alsoG2532 murmuredG1111, andG2532 were destroyedG622 ofG5259 the destroyerG3644.
NowG1161 allG3956 these thingsG5023 happenedG4819 unto themG1565 for ensamplesG5179: andG1161 they are writtenG1125 forG4314 ourG2257 admonitionG3559, uponG1519 whomG3739 the endsG5056 of the worldG165 are comeG2658. {ensamples: or, types}
And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242; and they removedH5265 from ShittimH7851, and cameH935 to JordanH3383, he and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and lodgedH3885 there before they passed overH5674.
And it came to pass afterH7097 threeH7969 daysH3117, that the officersH7860 wentH5674 throughH7130 the hostH4264;
And they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then ye shall removeH5265 from your placeH4725, and goH1980 afterH310 it.
Yet there shall be a spaceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measureH4060: come not nearH7126 unto it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must goH3212: for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretoforeH8543+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves: for to morrowH4279 the LORDH3068 will doH6213 wondersH6381 amongH7130 you.
And JoshuaH3091 spakeH559 unto the priestsH3548, sayingH559, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. And they took upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and wentH3212 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to magnifyH1431 thee in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that, as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee.
And thou shalt commandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, When ye are comeH935 to the brinkH7097 of the waterH4325 of JordanH3383, ye shall stand stillH5975 in JordanH3383.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come hitherH5066, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423 drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
Behold, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH113 of all the earthH776 passeth overH5674 beforeH6440 you into JordanH3383.
Now therefore takeH3947 you twelveH8147+H6240 menH376 out of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the LordH113 of all the earthH776, shall restH5117 in the watersH4325 of JordanH3383, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 shall be cut offH3772 from the watersH4325 that come downH3381 from aboveH4605; and they shall standH5975 upon anH259 heapH5067.
And it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 removedH5265 from their tentsH168, to pass overH5674 JordanH3383, and the priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971;
And as they that bareH5375 the arkH727 were comeH935 unto JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 were dippedH2881 in the brimH7097 of the waterH4325, (for JordanH3383 overflowethH4390 all his banksH1415 all the timeH3117 of harvestH7105,)
That the watersH4325 which came downH3381 from aboveH4605 stoodH5975 and rose upH6965 upon anH259 heapH5067 veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892 AdamH121, that is besideH6654 ZaretanH6891: and those that came downH3381 toward the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, even the saltH4417 seaH3220, failedH8552, and were cut offH3772: and the peopleH5971 passed overH5674 right against JerichoH3405.
And the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 firmH3559 on dry groundH2724 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and all the IsraelitesH3478 passed overH5674 on dry groundH2724, until all the peopleH1471 were passedH5674 cleanH8552 overH5674 JordanH3383.
KnowingG1097 thisG5124, thatG3754 ourG2257 oldG3820 manG444 is crucified withG4957 him, thatG2443 the bodyG4983 of sinG266 might be destroyedG2673, that henceforthG3371 weG2248 shouldG1398 notG3371 serveG1398 sinG266.
ForG1063 he that is deadG599 is freedG1344 fromG575 sinG266. {freed: Gr. justified}
NowG1161 ifG1487 we be deadG599 withG4862 ChristG5547, we believeG4100 thatG3754 we shallG4800 alsoG2532 liveG4800 with himG846:
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ChristG5547 being raisedG1453 fromG1537 the deadG3498 diethG599 no moreG3765; deathG2288 hathG2961 no moreG3765 dominion overG2961 himG846.
ForG3739+G1063 in that he diedG599, he diedG599 unto sinG266 onceG2178: butG1161 in thatG3739 he livethG2198, he livethG2198 unto GodG2316.
LikewiseG3779 reckonG3049 yeG5210 alsoG2532 yourselvesG1438 to beG1511 deadG3498 indeedG3303 unto sinG266, butG1161 aliveG2198 unto GodG2316 throughG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 ourG2257 LordG2962.
ButG1161 GodG2316, who isG5607 richG4145 inG1722 mercyG1656, forG1223 hisG846 greatG4183 loveG26 wherewithG3739 he lovedG25 usG2248,
EvenG2532 when weG2248 wereG5607 deadG3498 in sinsG3900, hath quickened us together withG4806 ChristG5547, (by graceG5485 ye areG2075 savedG4982;) {by…: or, by whose grace}
AndG2532 hath raised us up togetherG4891, andG2532 made us sit togetherG4776 inG1722 heavenlyG2032 places inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
IfG1487 yeG4891 thenG3767 be risenG4891 with ChristG5547, seekG2212 those things which are aboveG507, whereG3757 ChristG5547 sittethG2076+G2521 onG1722 the right handG1188 of GodG2316.
Set your affectionG5426 on things aboveG507, notG3361 on things onG1909 the earthG1093. {affection: or, mind}
ForG1063 ye are deadG599, andG2532 yourG5216 lifeG2222 is hidG2928 withG4862 ChristG5547 inG1722 GodG2316.
MosesH4872 my servantH5650 is deadH4191; now therefore ariseH6965, go overH5674 this JordanH3383, thou, and all this peopleH5971, unto the landH776 which I do giveH5414 to them, even to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Every placeH4725 that the soleH3709 of your footH7272 shall tread uponH1869, that have I givenH5414 unto you, as I saidH1696 unto MosesH4872.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thine handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
Now JoshuaH3091 was oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117; and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, Thou art oldH2204 and strickenH935 in yearsH3117, and there remainethH7604 yet veryH3966 muchH7235 landH776 to be possessedH3423. {to…: Heb. to possess it}
AndG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 fulnessG4138 haveG2983 allG3956 weG2249 receivedG2983, andG2532 graceG5485 forG473 graceG5485.
ForG1063 ifG1487 ye liveG2198 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, ye shallG3195 dieG599: butG1161 ifG1487 yeG2289 through the SpiritG4151 do mortifyG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, ye shall liveG2198.
ForG3754 the lawG3551 was givenG1325 byG1223 MosesG3475, but graceG5485 andG2532 truthG225 cameG1096 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
ForG1063 what the lawG3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 the fleshG4561: {for sin: or, by a sacrifice for sin}
ThatG2443 the righteousnessG1345 of the lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG2254, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
ForG1063 there isG1096 verilyG3303 a disannullingG115 of the commandmentG1785 going beforeG4254 forG1223 the weaknessG772 andG2532 unprofitablenessG512 thereofG846.
ForG1063 the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of a betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG2316. {the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in}
ButG1161 beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, shut upG4788 untoG1519 the faithG4102 which should afterwardsG3195 be revealedG601.
WhereforeG5620 the lawG3551 wasG1096 ourG2257 schoolmasterG3807 to bring us untoG1519 ChristG5547, thatG2443 we might be justifiedG1344 byG1537 faithG4102.
ButG1161 after that faithG4102 is comeG2064, we areG2070 no longerG2089+G3765 underG5259 a schoolmasterG3807.
NayG235, inG1722 allG3956 these thingsG5125 we are more than conquerorsG5245 throughG1223 him that lovedG25 usG2248.
ButG1161 thanksG5485 be to GodG2316, whichG3588 givethG1325 usG2254 the victoryG3534 throughG1223 ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
NowG1161 thanksG5485 be unto GodG2316, which alwaysG3842 causethG2358 usG2248 to triumphG2358 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG2532 maketh manifestG5319 the savourG3744 of hisG846 knowledgeG1108 byG1223 usG2257 inG1722 everyG3956 placeG5117.
And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them in the going downH4174: wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and became as waterH4325. {in…: or, in Morad}
And JoshuaH3091 rentH7167 his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 until the eventideH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and putH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Alas, OH162 LordH136 GODH3069, wherefore hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? would to GodH3863 we had been contentH2974, and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383!
OH994 LordH136, what shall I sayH559, whenH310 IsraelH3478 turnethH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341! {backs: Heb. necks}
For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us roundH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
MyG3450 little childrenG5040, these thingsG5023 write IG1125 unto youG5213, thatG3363 ye sinG264 notG3363. AndG2532 ifG1437 any manG5100 sinG264, we haveG2192 an advocateG3875 withG4314 the FatherG3962, JesusG2424 ChristG5547 the righteousG1342:
InG1722 whomG3739 alsoG2532 we have obtained an inheritanceG2820, being predestinatedG4309 according toG2596 the purposeG4286 of him who workethG1754 all thingsG3956 afterG2596 the counselG1012 of his ownG846 willG2307:
ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257 is givenG1325 graceG5485 according toG2596 the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
Then cameH935 AmalekH6002, and foughtH3898 with IsraelH3478 in RephidimH7508.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Choose us outH977 menH582, and go outH3318, fightH3898 with AmalekH6002: to morrowH4279 I will standH5324 on the topH7218 of the hillH1389 with the rodH4294 of GodH430 in mine handH3027. {Joshua: called Jesus}
So JoshuaH3091 didH6213 as MosesH4872 had saidH559 to him, and foughtH3898 with AmalekH6002: and MosesH4872, AaronH175, and HurH2354 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of the hillH1389.
And it came to pass, when MosesH4872 held upH7311 his handH3027, that IsraelH3478 prevailedH1396: and when he let downH5117 his handH3027, AmalekH6002 prevailedH1396.
But Moses'H4872 handsH3027 were heavyH3515; and they tookH3947 a stoneH68, and putH7760 it under him, and he satH3427 thereon; and AaronH175 and HurH2354 stayed upH8551 his handsH3027, the one on the one sideH259, and the other on the other sideH259; and his handsH3027 were steadyH530 until the going downH935 of the sunH8121.
And JoshuaH3091 discomfitedH2522 AmalekH6002 and his peopleH5971 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, WriteH3789 this for a memorialH2146 in a bookH5612, and rehearseH7760 it in the earsH241 of JoshuaH3091: for I will utterlyH4229 put outH4229 the remembranceH2143 of AmalekH6002 from under heavenH8064.
And MosesH4872 builtH1129 an altarH4196, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 of it JehovahnissiH3071: {Jehovahnissi: that is, The LORD my banner}
For he saidH559, Because the LORDH3050 hath swornH3027+H3676 that the LORDH3068 will have warH4421 with AmalekH6002 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {Because…: or, Because the hand of Amalek is against the throne of the LORD, therefore, etc} {the LORD hath…: Heb. the hand upon the throne of the LORD}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Come upH5927 to me into the mountH2022, and be there: and I will giveH5414 thee tablesH3871 of stoneH68, and a lawH8451, and commandmentsH4687 which I have writtenH3789; that thou mayest teachH3384 them.
And MosesH4872 rose upH6965, and his ministerH8334 JoshuaH3091: and MosesH4872 went upH5927 into the mountH2022 of GodH430.
And he saidH559 unto the eldersH2205, TarryH3427 ye hereH2088 for us, until we come againH7725 unto you: and, behold, AaronH175 and HurH2354 are with you: if anyH4310 manH1167 have any mattersH1697 to doH1167, let him comeH5066 unto them.
And MosesH4872 went upH5927 into the mountH2022, and a cloudH6051 coveredH3680 the mountH2022.
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 abodeH7931 upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it sixH8337 daysH3117: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he calledH7121 unto MosesH4872 out of the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051.
And the sightH4758 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 was like devouringH398 fireH784 on the topH7218 of the mountH2022 in the eyesH5869 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 wentH935 into the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051, and gat him upH5927 into the mountH2022: and MosesH4872 was in the mountH2022 fortyH705 daysH3117 and fortyH705 nightsH3915.
And MosesH4872 turnedH6437, and went downH3381 from the mountH2022, and the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of the testimonyH5715 were in his handH3027: the tablesH3871 were writtenH3789 on bothH8147 their sidesH5676; on the one side and on the other were they writtenH3789.
And the tablesH3871 were the workH4639 of GodH430, and the writingH4385 was the writingH4385 of GodH430, gravenH2801 upon the tablesH3871.
And when JoshuaH3091 heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of the peopleH5971 as they shoutedH7452, he saidH559 unto MosesH4872, There is a noiseH6963 of warH4421 in the campH4264.
And he saidH559, It is not the voiceH6963 of them that shoutH6030 for masteryH1369, neither is it the voiceH6963 of them that cryH6030 for being overcomeH2476: but the noiseH6963 of them that singH6031 do I hearH8085. {being…: Heb. weakness}
And it came to pass, as soon as he came nighH7126 unto the campH4264, that he sawH7200 the calfH5695, and the dancingH4246: and Moses'H4872 angerH639 waxed hotH2734, and he castH7993 the tablesH3871 out of his handsH3027, and brakeH7665 them beneathH8478 the mountH2022.
And he tookH3947 the calfH5695 which they had madeH6213, and burntH8313 it in the fireH784, and groundH2912 it to powderH1854, and strawedH2219 it uponH6440 the waterH4325, and made the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 drinkH8248 of it.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 faceH6440 to faceH6440, as a manH376 speakethH1696 unto his friendH7453. And he turned againH7725 into the campH4264: but his servantH8334 JoshuaH3091, the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a young manH5288, departedH4185 not outH8432 of the tabernacleH168.
But there remainedH7604 twoH8147 of the menH582 in the campH4264, the nameH8034 of the oneH259 was EldadH419, and the nameH8034 of the otherH8145 MedadH4312: and the spiritH7307 restedH5117 upon them; and they were of them that were writtenH3789, but went not outH3318 unto the tabernacleH168: and they prophesiedH5012 in the campH4264.
And there ranH7323 a young manH5288, and toldH5046 MosesH4872, and saidH559, EldadH419 and MedadH4312 do prophesyH5012 in the campH4264.
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH8334 of MosesH4872, one of his young menH979, answeredH6030 and saidH559, My lordH113 MosesH4872, forbidH3607 them.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto him, EnviestH7065 thou for my sake? would God that all theH5414 LORD'SH3068 peopleH5971 were prophetsH5030, and that the LORDH3068 would putH5414 his spiritH7307 upon them!
Of the tribeH4294 of EphraimH669, OsheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126.
These are the namesH8034 of the menH582 which MosesH4872 sentH7971 to spy outH8446 the landH776. And MosesH4872 calledH7121 OsheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 JehoshuaH3091.
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312, which were of them that searchedH8446 the landH776, rentH7167 their clothesH899:
And they spakeH559 unto all the companyH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, The landH776, which we passedH5674 through to searchH8446 it, is an exceedingH3966+H3966 goodH2896 landH776.
If the LORDH3068 delightH2654 in us, then he will bringH935 us into this landH776, and giveH5414 it us; a landH776 which flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
Only rebelH4775 not ye against the LORDH3068, neither fearH3372 ye the peopleH5971 of the landH776; for they are breadH3899 for us: their defenceH6738 is departedH5493 from them, and the LORDH3068 is with us: fearH3372 them not. {defence: Heb. shadow}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Get thee upH5927 into this mountH2022 AbarimH5682, and seeH7200 the landH776 which I have givenH5414 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when thou hast seenH7200 it, thou also shalt be gatheredH622 unto thy peopleH5971, as AaronH175 thy brotherH251 was gatheredH622.
For ye rebelledH4784 against my commandmentH6310 in the desertH4057 of ZinH6790, in the strifeH4808 of the congregationH5712, to sanctifyH6942 me at the waterH4325 before their eyesH5869: that is the waterH4325 of MeribahH4809 in KadeshH6946 in the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790.
And MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Let the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of the spiritsH7307 of all fleshH1320, setH6485 a manH376 over the congregationH5712,
Which may go outH3318 beforeH6440 them, and which may go inH935 beforeH6440 them, and which may lead them outH3318, and which may bring them inH935; that the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068 be not as sheepH6629 which have no shepherdH7462.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, TakeH3947 thee JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, a manH376 in whom is the spiritH7307, and layH5564 thine handH3027 upon him;
And setH5975 him beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and beforeH6440 all the congregationH5712; and give him a chargeH6680 in their sightH5869.
And thou shalt putH5414 some of thine honourH1935 upon him, that all the congregationH5712 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 may be obedientH8085.
And he shall standH5975 beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, who shall askH7592 counsel for him after the judgmentH4941 of UrimH224 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068: at his wordH6310 shall they go outH3318, and at his wordH6310 they shall come inH935, both he, and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 with him, even all the congregationH5712.
And MosesH4872 didH6213 as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 him: and he tookH3947 JoshuaH3091, and setH5975 him beforeH6440 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and beforeH6440 all the congregationH5712:
And he laidH5564 his handsH3027 upon him, and gave him a chargeH6680, as the LORDH3068 commandedH1696 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
So concerning them MosesH4872 commandedH6680 EleazarH499 the priestH3548, and JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and the chiefH7218 fathersH1 of the tribesH4294 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto them, If the childrenH1121 of GadH1410 and the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205 will pass with you overH5674 JordanH3383, every man armedH2502 to battleH4421, beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and the landH776 shall be subduedH3533 beforeH6440 you; then ye shall giveH5414 them the landH776 of GileadH1568 for a possessionH272:
But if they will not pass overH5674 with you armedH2502, they shall have possessionsH270 amongH8432 you in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.
And MosesH4872 wentH3212 and spakeH1696 these wordsH1697 unto all IsraelH3478.
And he saidH559 unto them, I am an hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 oldH1121 this dayH3117; I canH3201 no more go outH3318 and come inH935: also the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou shalt not go overH5674 this JordanH3383.
The LORDH3068 thy GodH430, he will go overH5674 beforeH6440 thee, and he will destroyH8045 these nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 thee, and thou shalt possessH3423 them: and JoshuaH3091, he shall go overH5674 beforeH6440 thee, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH1696.
And the LORDH3068 shall doH6213 unto them as he didH6213 to SihonH5511 and to OgH5747, kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, and unto the landH776 of them, whom he destroyedH8045.
And the LORDH3068 shall give them upH5414 before your faceH6440, that ye may doH6213 unto them according unto all the commandmentsH4687 which I have commandedH6680 you.
Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553, fearH3372 not, nor be afraidH6206 of themH6440: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, he it is that doth goH1980 with thee; he will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee.
And MosesH4872 calledH7121 unto JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 unto him in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for thou must goH935 with this peopleH5971 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them; and thou shalt cause them to inheritH5157 it.
And the LORDH3068, he it is that doth goH1980 beforeH6440 thee; he will be with thee, he will not failH7503 thee, neither forsakeH5800 thee: fearH3372 not, neither be dismayedH2865.
And MosesH4872 wroteH3789 this lawH8451, and deliveredH5414 it unto the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and unto all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141, in the solemnityH4150 of the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, in the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521,
When all IsraelH3478 is comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which he shall chooseH977, thou shalt readH7121 this lawH8451 before all IsraelH3478 in their hearingH241.
GatherH6950 the peopleH5971 togetherH6950, menH582, and womenH802, and childrenH2945, and thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179, that they may hearH8085, and that they may learnH3925, and fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451:
And that their childrenH1121, which have not knownH3045 any thing, may hearH8085, and learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as long asH3117 ye liveH2416 in the landH127 whither ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thy daysH3117 approachH7126 that thou must dieH4191: callH7121 JoshuaH3091, and presentH3320 yourselves in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, that I may give him a chargeH6680. And MosesH4872 and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212, and presentedH3320 themselves in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 in the tabernacleH168 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051: and the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 stoodH5975 over the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Behold, thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1; and this peopleH5971 will rise upH6965, and go a whoringH2181 afterH310 the godsH430 of the strangersH5236 of the landH776, whither they goH935 to be amongH7130 them, and will forsakeH5800 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I have madeH3772 with them. {sleep: Heb. lie down}
Then my angerH639 shall be kindledH2734 against them in that dayH3117, and I will forsakeH5800 them, and I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, and they shall be devouredH398, and manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 shall befallH4672 them; so that they will sayH559 in that dayH3117, Are not these evilsH7451 comeH4672 upon us, because our GodH430 is not amongH7130 us? {befall: Heb. find}
And I will surelyH5641 hideH5641 my faceH6440 in that dayH3117 for all the evilsH7451 which they shall have wroughtH6213, in thatH3588 they are turnedH6437 unto otherH312 godsH430.
Now therefore writeH3789 ye this songH7892 for you, and teachH3925 it the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: putH7760 it in their mouthsH6310, that this songH7892 may be a witnessH5707 for me against the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
For when I shall have broughtH935 them into the landH127 which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1, that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; and they shall have eatenH398 and filledH7646 themselves, and waxen fatH1878; then will they turnH6437 unto otherH312 godsH430, and serveH5647 them, and provokeH5006 me, and breakH6565 my covenantH1285.
And it shall come to pass, when manyH7227 evilsH7451 and troublesH6869 are befallenH4672 them, that this songH7892 shall testifyH6030 againstH6440 them as a witnessH5707; for it shall not be forgottenH7911 out of the mouthsH6310 of their seedH2233: for I knowH3045 their imaginationH3336 which they go aboutH6213, even nowH3117, before I have broughtH935 them into the landH776 which I swareH7650. {against: Heb. before} {go…: Heb. do}
MosesH4872 therefore wroteH3789 this songH7892 the same dayH3117, and taughtH3925 it the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he gave JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 a chargeH6680, and saidH559, Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for thou shalt bringH935 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 into the landH776 which I swareH7650 unto them: and I will be with thee.
Now afterH310 the deathH4194 of MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 it came to pass, that the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, Moses'H4872 ministerH8334, sayingH559,
MosesH4872 my servantH5650 is deadH4191; now therefore ariseH6965, go overH5674 this JordanH3383, thou, and all this peopleH5971, unto the landH776 which I do giveH5414 to them, even to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
Every placeH4725 that the soleH3709 of your footH7272 shall tread uponH1869, that have I givenH5414 unto you, as I saidH1696 unto MosesH4872.
From the wildernessH4057 and this LebanonH3844 even unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, all the landH776 of the HittitesH2850, and unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 toward the going downH3996 of the sunH8121, shall be your coastH1366.
There shall not any manH376 be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 thee all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416: as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee: I will not failH7503 thee, nor forsakeH5800 thee.
Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553: for unto this peopleH5971 shalt thou divide for an inheritanceH5157 the landH776, which I swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 to giveH5414 them. {unto this…: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc}
Only be thou strongH2388 and veryH3966 courageousH553, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all the lawH8451, which MosesH4872 my servantH5650 commandedH6680 thee: turnH5493 not from it to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040, that thou mayest prosperH7919 whithersoever thou goestH3212. {prosper: or, do wisely}
This bookH5612 of the lawH8451 shall not departH4185 out of thy mouthH6310; but thou shalt meditateH1897 therein dayH3119 and nightH3915, that thou mayest observeH8104 to doH6213 according to all that is writtenH3789 therein: for then thou shalt makeH6743 thy wayH1870 prosperousH6743, and then thou shalt have good successH7919. {have…: or, do wisely}
Have not I commandedH6680 thee? Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553; be not afraidH6206, neither be thou dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee whithersoever thou goestH3212.
Then JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the officersH7860 of the peopleH5971, sayingH559,
PassH5674 throughH7130 the hostH4264, and commandH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, PrepareH3559 you victualsH6720; for within threeH7969 daysH3117 ye shall pass overH5674 this JordanH3383, to go inH935 to possessH3423 the landH776, which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 you to possessH3423 it.
And to the ReubenitesH7206, and to the GaditesH1425, and to halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, spakeH559 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
RememberH2142 the wordH1697 which MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 your GodH430 hath given you restH5117, and hath givenH5414 you this landH776.
Your wivesH802, your little onesH2945, and your cattleH4735, shall remainH3427 in the landH776 which MosesH4872 gaveH5414 you on this sideH5676 JordanH3383; but ye shall passH5674 beforeH6440 your brethrenH251 armedH2571, all the mightyH1368 men of valourH2428, and helpH5826 them; {armed: Heb. marshalled by five}
Until the LORDH3068 have givenH5117 your brethrenH251 restH5117, as he hath given you, and they also have possessedH3423 the landH776 which the LORDH3068 your GodH430 givethH5414 them: then ye shall returnH7725 unto the landH776 of your possessionH3425, and enjoyH3423 it, which MosesH4872 the LORD'SH3068 servantH5650 gaveH5414 you on this sideH5676 JordanH3383 toward the sunrisingH4217+H8121.
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, All that thou commandestH6680 us we will doH6213, and whithersoeverH834 thou sendestH7971 us, we will goH3212.
According as we hearkenedH8085 unto MosesH4872 in all things, so will we hearkenH8085 unto thee: only the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 be with thee, as he was with MosesH4872.
WhosoeverH376 he be that doth rebelH4784 against thy commandmentH6310, and will not hearkenH8085 unto thy wordsH1697 in all that thou commandestH6680 him, he shall be put to deathH4191: only be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553.
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}
And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, which were on the sideH5676 of JordanH3383 westwardH3220, and all the kingsH4428 of the CanaanitesH3669, which were by the seaH3220, heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 had dried upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, until we were passed overH5674, that their heartH3824 meltedH4549, neither was there spiritH7307 in them any more, becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the second timeH8145. {sharp…: or, knives of flints}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumcisedH4135 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190. {sharp…: or, knives of flints} {the hill…: or, Gibeah-haaraloth}
And this is the causeH1697 why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: All the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH582 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they came outH3318 of EgyptH4714.
NowH3588 all the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 were circumcisedH4135: but all the peopleH5971 that were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, them they had not circumcisedH4135.
For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the peopleH1471 that were menH582 of warH4421, which came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: unto whom the LORDH3068 swareH7650 that he would not shewH7200 them the landH776, which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.
And their childrenH1121, whom he raised upH6965 in their stead, them JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135: for they were uncircumcisedH6189, because they had not circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870.
And it came to pass, when they had doneH8552 circumcisingH4135 all the peopleH1471, that they abodeH3427 in their places in the campH4264, till they were wholeH2421. {they had…: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolled awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 GilgalH1537 unto this dayH3117. {Gilgal: that is Rolling}
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537, and keptH6213 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405.
And they did eatH398 of the old cornH5669 of the landH776 on the morrowH4283 after the passoverH6453, unleavened cakesH4682, and parchedH7033 corn in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117.
And the mannaH4478 ceasedH7673 on the morrowH4283 after they had eatenH398 of the old cornH5669 of the landH776; neither had the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 mannaH4478 any more; but they did eatH398 of the fruitH8393 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667 that yearH8141.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 was by JerichoH3405, that he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over against him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 wentH3212 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversariesH6862?
And he saidH559, Nay; but as captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the LORDH3068 am I now comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and did worshipH7812, and saidH559 unto him, What saithH1696 my lordH113 unto his servantH5650? {captain: or, prince}
And the captainH8269 of the LORD'SH3068 hostH6635 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, LooseH5394 thy shoeH5275 from off thy footH7272; for the placeH4725 whereon thou standestH5975 is holyH6944. And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 so.
Now JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462 shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: none went outH3318, and none came inH935. {was…: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thine handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
And ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892, all ye menH582 of warH4421, and go round aboutH5362 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259. Thus shalt thou doH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 beforeH6440 the arkH727 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a longH4900 blast with the ram'sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fall downH5307 flatH8478, and the peopleH5971 shall ascend upH5927 every manH376 straight before him. {flat: Heb. under it}
And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Pass onH5674, and compassH5437 the cityH5892, and let him that is armedH2502 pass onH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the peopleH5971, that the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 passed onH5674 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 followedH1980 themH310.
And the armedH2502 men wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628+H8628 with the trumpetsH7782, and the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782. {rereward: Heb. gathering host}
And JoshuaH3091 had commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Ye shall not shoutH7321, nor make any noiseH8085 with your voiceH6963, neither shall any wordH1697 proceedH3318 out of your mouthH6310, until the dayH3117 I bidH559 you shoutH7321; then shall ye shoutH7321. {any noise…: Heb. your voice to be heard}
So the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 compassedH5437 the cityH5892, going aboutH5362 it onceH6471+H259: and they cameH935 into the campH4264, and lodgedH3885 in the campH4264.
And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 went onH1980 continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; but the rerewardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the priests going onH1980, and blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.
And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 onceH6471+H259, and returnedH7725 into the campH4264: so they didH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.
And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they rose earlyH7925 about the dawningH5927 of the dayH7837, and compassedH5437 the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the cityH5892.
And the cityH5892 shall be accursedH2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORDH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. {accursed: or, devoted}
And ye, in any wiseH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the accursed thingH2764, lest ye make yourselves accursedH2763, when ye takeH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curseH2764, and troubleH5916 it. {accursed: or, devoted} {a curse: or, devoted}
But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are consecratedH6944 unto the LORDH3068: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of the LORDH3068. {consecrated: Heb. holiness}
So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 when the priests blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, that the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307, so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. {flat: Heb. under it}
And they utterly destroyedH2763 all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and assH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
But JoshuaH3091 had saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270 the countryH776, GoH935 into the harlot'sH2181 houseH1004, and bring outH3318 thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto her.
And the young menH5288 that were spiesH7270 went inH935, and brought outH3318 RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethrenH251, and all that she had; and they brought outH3318 all her kindredH4940, and leftH3240 them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. {kindred: Heb. families}
And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein: only the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 savedH2421 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 aliveH2421, and her father'sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had; and she dwellethH3427 inH7130 IsraelH3478 even unto this dayH3117; because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, which JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JerichoH3405.
And JoshuaH3091 adjuredH7650 them at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that riseth upH6965 and buildethH1129 this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: he shall lay the foundationH3245 thereof in his firstbornH1060, and in his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324 the gatesH1817 of it.
So the LORDH3068 was with JoshuaH3091; and his fameH8089 was noised throughout all the countryH776.
And it came to pass, when all the kingsH4428 which were on this sideH5676 JordanH3383, in the hillsH2022, and in the valleysH8219, and in all the coastsH2348 of the greatH1419 seaH3220 over againstH4136 LebanonH3844, the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, heardH8085 thereof;
That they gatheredH6908 themselves togetherH3162, to fightH3898 with JoshuaH3091 and with IsraelH3478, with oneH259 accordH6310. {accord: Heb. mouth}
And when the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 heardH8085 what JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857,
They did workH6213 wililyH6195, and wentH3212 and made as if they had been ambassadorsH6737, and tookH3947 oldH1087 sacksH8242 upon their assesH2543, and wineH3196 bottlesH4997, oldH1087, and rentH1234, and bound upH6887;
And oldH1087 shoesH5275 and cloutedH2921 upon their feetH7272, and oldH1087 garmentsH8008 upon them; and all the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and mouldyH5350.
And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 unto him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We be comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the HivitesH2340, PeradventureH194 ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us; and how shall we makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with you?
And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, We are thy servantsH5650. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Who are ye? and from whenceH370 comeH935 ye?
And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
And all that he didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and to OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was at AshtarothH6252.
Wherefore our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spakeH559 to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 victualsH6720 with youH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH3212 to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 unto them, We are your servantsH5650: therefore now makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us. {with you: Heb. in your hand}
This our breadH3899 we took hotH2525 for our provisionH6679 out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 we came forthH3318 to goH3212 unto you; but now, behold, it is dryH3001, and it is mouldyH5350:
And these bottlesH4997 of wineH3196, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they be rentH1234: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.
And the menH582 tookH3947 of their victualsH6718, and askedH7592 not counsel at the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068. {the men…: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}
And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 swareH7650 unto them.
And it came to pass at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighboursH7138, and that they dweltH3427 amongH7130 them.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and ChephirahH3716, and BeerothH881, and KirjathjearimH7157.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 against the princesH5387.
But all the princesH5387 saidH559 unto all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478: now therefore we mayH3201 not touchH5060 them.
This we will doH6213 to them; we will even let them liveH2421, lest wrathH7110 be upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we swareH7650 unto them.
And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, Let them liveH2421; but let them be hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto all the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had promisedH1696 them.
And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for them, and he spakeH1696 unto them, sayingH559, Wherefore have ye beguiledH7411 us, sayingH559, We are veryH3966 farH7350 from you; when ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us?
Now therefore ye are cursedH779, and there shall none of you be freedH3772 from being bondmenH5650, and hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430. {none…: Heb. not be cut off from you}
And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, Because it was certainlyH5046 toldH5046 thy servantsH5650, how that the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 his servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you all the landH776, and to destroyH8045 all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 from beforeH6440 you, therefore we were soreH3966 afraidH3372 of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of you, and have doneH6213 this thingH1697.
And now, behold, weH2009 are in thine handH3027: as it seemethH5869 goodH2896 and rightH3477 unto thee to doH6213 unto us, doH6213.
And so didH6213 he unto them, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they slewH2026 them not.
And JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them that dayH3117 hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the congregationH5712, and for the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, even unto this dayH3117, in the placeH4725 which he should chooseH977. {made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}
