\par }{\MT Joshua

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after
the
death
of
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun, Moses' helper,
saying,
\VS{2}Moses
my
servant
is
dead;
so
now
get
up!
Go
over
Jordan,
you
and
all
this
people,
into
the
land
which
I
am
giving
to
them,
to
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{3}Every
place
on
which
you
put
your
foot
I
have
given
to
you,
as
I
said
to
Moses.
\VS{4}From
the waste
land
and
this mountain
Lebanon,
as
far
as
the
great
river,
the
river
Euphrates,
and
all
the
land
of
the
Hittites
to
the
Great
Sea,
in
the
west,
will
be
your
country.
\VS{5}While
you
are
living,
all
will
give
way
before
you:
as
I
was
with
Moses,
so
I
will
be
with
you;
I
will
not
take
away
my help
from
you
or
give
you
up.
\VS{6}Take heart
and
be
strong;
for
you
will
give
to
this
people
for
their heritage
the
land
which
I
gave
by
an
oath
to
their
fathers.
\VS{7}Only
take heart
and
be
very
strong;
take
care
to
do
all
the
law
which
Moses
my
servant
gave
you,
not
turning
from
it
to
the
right
hand
or
to
the
left,
so
that
you
may
do
well
in
all
your undertakings.
\VS{8}Let
this
book
of
the
law
be
ever
on
your
lips
and
in
your thoughts
day
and
night,
so
that
you
may
keep
with
care
everything
in
it;
then
a blessing
will
be
on
all
your
way,
and
you
will
do well.
\VS{9}Have
I
not
given
you
your
orders?
Take heart
and
be
strong;
have
no fear
and
do
not
be troubled;
for
the
Lord
your
God
is
with
you
wherever
you go,
\VS{10}Then
Joshua
gave
their
orders
to
those
who
were
in authority
over
the
people,
saying,
\VS{11}Go
through
the tents
and
give
orders
to
the
people,
saying,
Get
ready
a store
of
food;
for
in
three
days
you
are
to
go
over
this
river
Jordan
and
take
for
your heritage
the
land
which
the
Lord
your
God
is
giving
you.
\VS{12}And
to
the
Reubenites
and
the
Gadites
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
Joshua
said,
\VS{13}Keep
in
mind
what
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
said
to
you,
The
Lord
your
God
is sending
you
rest
and
will
give
you
this
land.
\VS{14}Your
wives,
your
little
ones,
and
your
cattle
will
be
kept here
in
the
land
which
Moses
gave
you
on
this
side
of
Jordan;
but
you,
the fighting-men,
are
to
go
over
before
your
brothers, armed,
to
give
them
help;
\VS{15}Till
the
Lord
has
given
your
brothers
rest,
as
he
has
given
it
to
you,
and
they
have
taken
their heritage
in
the
land
which
the
Lord
your
God
is
giving
them:
then
you
will
go
back
to
the
land
of
your heritage
which
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
gave
you
on
the
east
side
of
Jordan.
\VS{16}Then
they
said
to
Joshua
in
answer,
Whatever
you
say
to
us
we
will
do,
and
wherever
you
send
us
we
will
go.
\VS{17}As
we
gave
attention
to
Moses
in
all
things,
so
we
will
give
attention
to
you:
and
may
the
Lord
your
God
be
with
you
as
he
was
with
Moses.
\VS{18}Whoever goes
against
your
orders,
and
does
not
give
attention
to
all
your
words,
will
be
put
to
death:
only
take
heart
and
be
strong.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun,
sent
two
men
from
Shittim
secretly,
with
the purpose
of searching
out
the
land,
and
Jericho.
So
they
went
and
came
to
the
house
of
a
loose
woman
of
the town,
named
Rahab,
where
they
took
their
rest
for
the night.
\VS{2}And
it
was
said
to
the
king
of
Jericho,
See,
some
men
have
come
here
tonight
from
the
children
of
Israel
with
the purpose
of searching
out
the
land.
\VS{3}Then
the
king
of
Jericho
sent
to
Rahab,
saying,
Send
out
the
men
who
have
come
to
you
and
are
in
your
house;
for
they
have
come
with
the purpose
of searching
out
all
the
land.
\VS{4}And
the
woman
took
the
two
men
and
put
them
in
a
secret
place;
then
she
said,
Yes,
the
men
came
to
me,
but
I
had
no idea
where
they
came
from;
\VS{5}And
when
it
was
the
time
for shutting
the doors
at
dark,
they
went
out;
I
have
no idea
where
the
men
went:
but
if
you
go
after
them
quickly,
you
will
overtake
them.
\VS{6}But
she
had
taken
them
up
to
the
roof, covering
them
with
the stems
of
flax
which
she
had
put
out
in order
there.
\VS{7}So
the
men
went
after
them
on
the
road
to
Jordan
as
far
as
the river-crossing:
and
when
they
had
gone
out
after
them,
the door
into
the
town
was
shut.
\VS{8}And
before
the men
went
to
rest,
she
came
up
to
them
on
the
roof,
\VS{9}And
said
to
them,
It
is
clear
to
me
that
the
Lord
has
given
you
the
land,
and
that
the
fear
of
you
has
come
on
us;
\VS{10}For
we
have
had news
of
how
the
Lord
made
the Red
Sea
dry
before
you
when
you
came
out
of
Egypt;
and
what
you
did
to
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites,
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan,
to
Sihon
and
Og,
whom
you
gave
up
to
the curse.
\VS{11}And
because
of
this news,
our
hearts became
like water,
and
there
was
no
more
spirit
in
any
of
us
because
of
you;
for
the
Lord
your
God
is
God
in
heaven
on
high
and
here
on
earth.
\VS{12}So
now,
will
you
give
me
your
oath
by
the
Lord,
that,
because
I
have
been kind
to
you,
you
will
be kind
to
my father's
house,
\VS{13}And
that
you
will keep safe
my
father
and
mother
and
my
brothers
and
sisters
and
all
they
have,
so
that
death
may
not come
on
us?
\VS{14}And
the
men
said
to
her,
Our
life
for
yours
if
you
keep
our
business secret;
and
when
the
Lord
has
given
us
the
land,
we
will
keep
faith
and
be kind
to
you.
\VS{15}Then
she
let
them
down
from
the
window
by
a
cord,
for
the
house
where
she
was
living
was
on
the town
wall.
\VS{16}And
she
said
to
them,
Get
away
into
the hill-country,
or
the
men
who
have
gone
after
you
will overtake
you; keep
yourselves safe
there
for
three
days,
till
the searchers
have
come
back,
and
then
go
on
your
way.
\VS{17}And
the
men
said
to
her,
We
will only
be responsible
for
this
oath
which
you
have
made
us
take,
\VS{18}If,
when
we
come
into
the
land,
you
put
this
cord
of bright
red
thread
in
the
window
from
which
you
let
us
down;
and
get
your
father
and
mother
and
your
brothers
and
all
your
family
into
the
house;
\VS{19}Then
if
anyone
goes
out
of
your
house
into
the
street,
his
blood
will
be
on
his
head,
we
will
not
be
responsible;
but
if
any damage
comes
to
anyone
in
the
house,
his
blood
will
be
on
our
heads.
\VS{20}But
if
you
say
anything
about
our
business
here,
then
we
will
be
free
from
the
oath
you
have
made
us
take.
\VS{21}And
she
said,
Let
it
be
as
you
say.
Then
she
sent
them
away,
and
they went;
and
she
put
the bright
red cord
in
the
window.
\VS{22}And
they
went
into
the hill-country
and
were
there
three
days,
till
the
men
who
had
gone
after
them
had
come
back;
and
those
who
went
after
them
were
searching
for
them
everywhere
without
coming across
them.
\VS{23}Then
the
two
men
came
down
from
the hill-country
and
went
over
and
came
back
to
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun;
and
they
gave
him
a
complete
account
of what
had
taken
place.
\VS{24}And
they
said
to
Joshua,
Truly,
the
Lord
has
given
all
the
land
into
our
hands;
and
all
the
people
of
the
land
have become
like water
because
of
us.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joshua
got
up
early
in
the
morning,
and, moving
on
from
Shittim,
he
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
came
to
Jordan
and
were
there
for
the night
before
going
over.
\VS{2}And
at
the
end
of
three
days,
the
men
in authority
over
the people
went
through
the tents,
\VS{3}Giving
the
people
their
orders,
and
saying,
When
you
see
the
ark
of
the
agreement
of
the
Lord
your
God
lifted
up
by
the
priests,
the
Levites,
then
get
up
from
your
places
and
go
after
it;
\VS{4}But
let
there
be
a space
between
you
and
it
of
about
two
thousand
cubits:
come
no nearer
to
it,
so
that
you
may
see
the
way
you
have
to
go,
for
you
have
not
been
over
this
way
before.
\VS{5}And
Joshua
said
to
the
people,
Make
yourselves
holy,
for
tomorrow
the
Lord
will
do
works
of wonder
among
you.
\VS{6}Then
Joshua
said
to
the
priests,
Take
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement
and
go
over
in
front
of
the
people.
So
they
took
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement
and
went
in
front
of
the
people.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
From
now
on
I
will
give
you glory
in
the
eyes
of
all
Israel,
so
that
they
may
see
that,
as
I
was
with
Moses,
so
I
will
be
with
you.
\VS{8}And
you
are
to
give
orders
to
the
priests
who
take
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement,
and
say,
When
you
come
to
the edge
of
the
waters
of
Jordan,
go no further.
\VS{9}And
Joshua
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Come
to
me
here:
and
give ear
to
the
words
of
the
Lord
your
God.
\VS{10}And
Joshua
said,
By
this
you
will
see
that
the
living
God
is
among
you,
and
that
he
will
certainly send
out
from
before
you
the
Canaanite
and
the
Hittite
and
the
Hivite
and
the
Perizzite
and
the
Girgashite
and
the
Amorite
and
the
Jebusite.
\VS{11}See,
the
ark
of
the
agreement
of
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth
is going
over
before
you
into
Jordan.
\VS{12}So
take
twelve
men
out
of
the
tribes
of
Israel,
a
man
from
every
tribe.
\VS{13}And
when
the
feet
of
the
priests
who
take
up
the
ark
of
the
Lord,
the
Lord
of
all
the
earth,
come
to
rest
in
the
waters
of
Jordan,
the
waters
of
Jordan
will
be
cut
off,
all
the
waters
flowing
down
from
higher
up,
and
will
come
together
in
a mass.
\VS{14}So
when
the
people
went
out
from
their
tents
to
go
over
Jordan,
the
priests
who
took
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement
were
in
front
of
the
people;
\VS{15}And
when
those
who
took
up
the
ark
came
to
Jordan,
and
the
feet
of
the
priests
who
took
up
the
ark
were touching
the edge
of
the
water (for
the
waters
of
Jordan
are overflowing
all
through
the
time
of
the grain-cutting),
\VS{16}Then
the
waters
flowing
down
from
higher
up
were
stopped
and
came
together
in
a mass
a long
way back
at
Adam,
a
town
near
Zarethan;
and
the
waters
flowing
down
to
the
sea
of
the
Arabah,
the
Salt
Sea,
were
cut
off:
and
the
people
went
across
opposite
Jericho.
\VS{17}And
the
priests
who
took
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement
of
the
Lord
kept
their
places,
with
their feet
on
dry
land
in
the
middle
of
Jordan,
while
all
Israel
went
over
on
dry
land,
till
all
the
nation
had
gone
over
Jordan.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
all
the
nation
had
come
to
the
other
side
of
Jordan,
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
\VS{2}Take
twelve
men
from
the
people,
a
man
for
every
tribe,
\VS{3}And
say
to
them,
Take
up
from
the
middle
of
Jordan,
from
the
place
where
the
feet
of
the
priests
were resting,
twelve
stones,
and
take
them
over
with
you
and
put
them
down
in
the
place
where
you
take
your rest
tonight.
\VS{4}So
Joshua sent
for
the
twelve
men,
whom
he
had
ready,
one
man
out
of
every
tribe
of
the
children
of
Israel,
\VS{5}And
he
said
to
them,
Go
over
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord
your
God
into
the
middle
of
Jordan,
and let
every
one
of
you
take
up
a
stone
on
his
back,
one
for
every
tribe
of
the
children
of
Israel:
\VS{6}So
that
this
may
be
a
sign
among
you;
when
your
children
say
to
you
in
time
to
come,
What
is
the
reason
for
these
stones?
\VS{7}Then
you
will
say
to
them,
Because
the
waters
of
Jordan
were
cut
off
before
the
ark
of
the Lord's
agreement;
when
it
went
over
Jordan
the
waters
of
Jordan
were
cut
off:
and
these
stones
will
be
a
sign
for
the
children
of
Israel, keeping
it
in
their memory
for
ever.
\VS{8}So
the
children
of
Israel
did
as
Joshua
gave
them
orders,
and
took
twelve
stones
from
the
middle
of
Jordan,
as
the
Lord
had
said
to
Joshua,
one
for every
tribe
of
the
children
of
Israel;
these
they
took
across
with
them
to
their night's resting-place
and
put
them
down
there.
\VS{9}And
Joshua
put
up
twelve
stones
in
the
middle
of
Jordan,
where
the
feet
of
the
priests
who
took
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement
had
been
placed:
and
there
they
are
to
this
day.
\VS{10}For
the
priests
who
took
up
the
ark
kept
there
in
the
middle
of
Jordan
till
all
the
orders
given
to
Joshua
by
Moses
from
the
Lord
had
been
done:
then
the
people
went
over
quickly.
\VS{11}And
when
all
the
people
had
come
to
the
other side,
the
ark
of
the
Lord
went
over,
and
the
priests,
before
the eyes
of
the
people.
\VS{12}And
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
went
over armed
before
the
children
of
Israel
as
Moses
had
said
to
them:
\VS{13}About
forty
thousand
armed
for
war
went
over
before
the
Lord
to
the
fight,
to
the lowlands
of
Jericho.
\VS{14}That
day
the
Lord
made
Joshua
great
in
the
eyes
of
all
Israel;
and
all
the
days
of
his
life
they went
in
fear
of
him,
as
they
had gone
in
fear
of
Moses.
\VS{15}Then
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
\VS{16}Give
orders
to
the
priests
who
take
up
the
ark
of witness,
to
come
up
out
of
Jordan.
\VS{17}So
Joshua
gave
orders
to
the
priests,
saying,
Come
up now
out
of
Jordan.
\VS{18}And
when
the
priests
who
took
up
the
ark
of
the Lord's
agreement
came
up
out
of
Jordan
and
their
feet
came
out
on
to
dry
land,
the
waters
of
Jordan
went
back
to
their
place, overflowing
its edges
as
before.
\VS{19}So
on
the
tenth
day
of
the
first
month
the
people
came
up
out
of
Jordan,
and
put
up
their tents
in
Gilgal,
on
the
east
side
of
Jericho.
\VS{20}And
the
twelve
stones
which
they
took
out
of
Jordan,
Joshua
put
up
in
Gilgal.
\VS{21}And
he
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
When
your
children
say
to
their
fathers
in
time
to
come,
What
is
the
reason
for
these
stones?
\VS{22}Then give
your
children
the story,
and
say,
Israel
came
over
this river
Jordan
on
dry
land.
\VS{23}For
the
Lord
your
God
made
the
waters
of
Jordan
dry
before
you
till
you
had gone
across,
as
he
did
to
the Red
Sea, drying
it
up
before
us
till
we
had gone
across:
\VS{24}So
that
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth
may
see
that
the
hand
of
the
Lord
is
strong;
and
that
they
may go
in
fear
of
the
Lord
your
God
for ever.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
the news
came
to
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites
on
the
west
side
of
Jordan,
and
all
the
kings
of
the
Canaanites living
by
the
sea,
how
the
Lord
had
made
the
waters
of
Jordan
dry
before
the
children
of
Israel,
till
they
had
gone
across,
their
hearts
became
like
water,
and
there
was
no
more
spirit
in
them,
because
of
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{2}At
that
time
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Make
yourself stone
knives
and
give
the
children
of
Israel circumcision
a
second
time.
\VS{3}So
Joshua
made stone
knives
and
gave
the
children
of
Israel circumcision
at Gibeath-ha-araloth.
\VS{4}And
this
is
the
reason
why
Joshua
did
so:
all
the
males
of
the
people
who
came
out
of
Egypt,
all
the fighting-men,
had
been overtaken
by
death
in
the waste land
on
the
way,
after
they
came
out
of
Egypt.
\VS{5}All
the
people
who
came
out
had undergone circumcision;
but
all
the
people
whose
birth
had
taken
place
in
the waste land
on
their
journey
from
Egypt
had
not.
\VS{6}For
the
children
of
Israel
were wandering
in
the waste
land
for
forty
years,
till
all
the
nation,
that
is,
all
the fighting-men,
who
had
come
out
of
Egypt,
were dead,
because
they
did
not
give ear
to
the
voice
of
the
Lord:
to
whom
the
Lord
said,
with
an
oath,
that
he
would
not
let
them
see
the
land
which
the
Lord
had
given
his word
to
their
fathers
to
give
us,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
\VS{7}And
their
children,
who
came
up
in
their
place,
now underwent circumcision
by
the hands
of
Joshua,
not
having
had
it
before:
for
there
had
been
no circumcision
on
the
journey.
\VS{8}So
when
all
the
nation
had undergone circumcision,
they kept
in
their tents
till
they
were
well
again.
\VS{9}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Today
the
shame
of
Egypt
has
been
rolled
away
from
you.
So
that
place
was
named
Gilgal,
to
this
day.
\VS{10}So
the
children
of
Israel put
up
their tents
in
Gilgal;
and
they
kept
the
Passover
on
the fourteenth
day
of
the
month,
in
the
evening,
in
the lowlands
of
Jericho.
\VS{11}And
on
the
day
after
the
Passover,
they
had
for
their
food
the
produce
of
the
land,
unleavened
cakes
and dry grain
on
the
same
day.
\VS{12}And
there
was
no
more
manna
from
the
day
after
they
had
for
their
food
the
produce
of
the
land;
the
children
of
Israel
had
manna
no
longer,
but
that
year
the
produce
of
the
land
of
Canaan
was
their
food.
\VS{13}Now
when
Joshua
was
near
Jericho, lifting
up
his
eyes
he
saw
a
man
in
front
of
him,
with
his
sword uncovered
in
his
hand:
and
Joshua
went
up
to
him
and
said,
Are
you
for
us
or
against
us?
\VS{14}And
he
said,
No;
but
I
have
come
as
captain
of
the
armies
of
the
Lord.
Then
Joshua,
falling
down
with
his
face
to
the
earth
in
worship,
said,
What
has
my
lord
to
say
to
his
servant?
\VS{15}And
the
captain
of
the Lord's
army
said
to
Joshua,
Take
off
your
shoes
from
your
feet,
for
the
place
where
you
are
is
holy.
And
Joshua
did
so.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}(Now
Jericho
was all
shut
up
because
of
the
children
of
Israel:
there
was
no
going
out
or
coming
in.)
\VS{2}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
See,
I
have
given
into
your
hands
Jericho
with
its
king
and all
its
men
of war.
\VS{3}Now
let
all
your fighting-men
make
a
circle
round
the
town, going
all
round
it
once.
Do
this
for
six
days.
\VS{4}And
let
seven
priests
go
before
the
ark
with
seven loud-sounding
horns
in
their hands:
on
the
seventh
day
you
are
to
go
round
the
town
seven
times,
the
priests
blowing
their
horns.
\VS{5}And
at
the
sound
of
a
long note
on
the
horns,
let
all
the
people
give
a
loud
cry;
and
the
wall
of
the
town
will
come
down
flat,
and
all
the
people
are
to
go
straight forward.
\VS{6}Then
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun,
sent
for
the
priests
and
said
to
them,
Take
up
the
ark
of
the
agreement,
and let
seven
priests
take
seven
horns
in
their hands
and go
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord.
\VS{7}And
he
said
to
the
people,
Go
forward,
circling
the
town,
and let
the
armed
men
go
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord.
\VS{8}So
after
Joshua
had
said
this
to
the
people,
the
seven
priests
with
their
seven
horns
went
forward
before
the
Lord,
blowing
on
their
horns:
and
the
ark
of
the Lord's
agreement
went
after
them.
\VS{9}And
the
armed
men
went
before
the
priests
who
were
blowing
the
horns,
and
the mass
of
the people
went
after
the
ark,
blowing
their
horns.
\VS{10}And
to
the
people
Joshua
gave
an
order,
saying,
You
will
give
no
cry,
and
make
no
sound,
and
let
no
word
go
out
of
your
mouth
till
the
day
when
I
say,
Give
a
loud
cry;
then
give
a
loud
cry.
\VS{11}So
he
made
the
ark
of
the
Lord
go
all
round
the
town
once:
then
they
went
back
to
the tents
for
the night.
\VS{12}And
early
in
the
morning
Joshua
got
up,
and
the
priests
took
up
the
ark
of
the
Lord.
\VS{13}And
the
seven
priests
with
their
seven
horns
went
on
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord,
blowing
their
horns:
the
armed
men
went
before
them,
and
the mass
of
the people
went
after
the
ark
of
the
Lord,
blowing
their
horns.
\VS{14}The
second
day
they
went
all
round
the
town
once,
and
then
went
back
to
their tents:
and
so
they
did
for
six
days.
\VS{15}Then
on
the
seventh
day
they
got
up
early,
at
the
dawn
of
the
day,
and
went
round
the
town
in
the
same
way,
but
that
day
they
went
round
it
seven
times.
\VS{16}And
the
seventh
time,
at
the
sound
of
the priests'
horns,
Joshua
said
to
the
people,
Now
give
a
loud
cry;
for
the
Lord
has
given
you
the
town.
\VS{17}And
the
town
will
be
put
to
the curse,
and
everything
in
it
will
be given
to
the
Lord:
only
Rahab,
the
loose
woman,
and
all
who
are
in
the
house
with
her,
will
be kept safe,
because
she kept secret
the
men
we
sent.
\VS{18}And
as
for
you,
keep
yourselves
from
the cursed thing,
for
fear
that
you
may
get
a desire
for
it
and
take
some
of
it
for
yourselves,
and
so
be
the cause
of
a curse
and great
trouble
on
the tents
of
Israel.
\VS{19}But
all
the
silver
and
gold
and
the
vessels
of
brass
and
iron
are
holy
to
the
Lord:
they
are
to
come
into
the store-house
of
the
Lord.
\VS{20}So
the
people
gave
a
loud
cry,
and
the
horns
were
sounded;
and
on
hearing
the
horns
the
people
gave
a
loud
cry,
and
the
wall
came
down
flat,
so
that
the
people
went
up
into
the
town,
every
man
going
straight
before
him,
and
they
took
the
town.
\VS{21}And
they
put
everything
in
the
town
to
the curse;
men
and
women,
young
and
old,
ox
and
sheep
and ass,
they
put
to death without mercy.
\VS{22}Then
Joshua
said
to
the
two
men
who
had
been
sent
to make
a search
through
the
land,
Go
into
the
house
of
the loose
woman,
and
get
her
out,
and
all
who
are
with
her,
as
you
gave
her
your
oath.
\VS{23}So
the searchers
went
in
and
got
out
Rahab
and
her
father
and
mother
and
her
brothers
and
all
she
had,
and
they
got
out
all
her
family;
and
they
took
them
outside
the tents
of
Israel.
\VS{24}Then, after
burning
up
the
town
and
everything
in
it,
they
put
the
silver
and
gold
and
the
vessels
of
brass
and
iron
into
the store-house
of
the Lord's
house.
\VS{25}But
Joshua kept
Rahab,
the
loose
woman,
and
her father's
family
and
all
she
had,
from death,
and
so
she got
a living-place
among
the children
of
Israel
to
this
day;
because
she kept safe
the
men
whom
Joshua
had
sent
to
make
a search
through
the
land.
\VS{26}Then
Joshua
gave
the
people
orders
with
an
oath,
saying,
Let
that
man
be
cursed
before
the
Lord
who puts
his hand
to
the
building
up
of
this
town:
with
the loss
of
his
first
son
will
he
put
the
first
stone
of
it
in place,
and
with
the loss
of
his
youngest
son
he
will
put
up
its
doors.
\VS{27}So
the
Lord
was
with
Joshua;
and news
of
him
went
through
all
the
land.

\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
the
children
of
Israel did wrong
about
the cursed thing:
for
Achan,
the
son
of
Carmi,
the
son
of
Zabdi,
the
son
of
Zerah,
of
the family
of
Judah,
took
of
the cursed thing, moving
the
Lord
to
wrath
against
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{2}Now
Joshua
sent
men
from
Jericho
to
Ai,
which
is
by
the
side
of Beth-aven,
on
the
east
side
of Beth-el,
and
said
to
them,
Go
up
and make
a search
through
the
land.
And
the
men
went
up
and saw
how
Ai
was
placed.
\VS{3}Then
they
came
back
to
Joshua
and
said
to
him,
Do
not
send
all
the
people
up,
but
let
about
two
or
three
thousand
men
go
up
and
make
an
attack
on
Ai;
there
is
no
need
for
all
the
people
to
be
tired
with
the journey
there,
for
it
is
only
a
small town.
\VS{4}So
about
three
thousand
of
the
people
went
up,
and
were
sent
in
flight
by
the
men
of
Ai.
\VS{5}The
men
of
Ai put
to death
about thirty-six
of
them, driving
them
from
before
the
town
as
far
as
the stoneworks,
and overcoming
them
on
the
way
down:
and
the
hearts
of
the
people
became
like
water.
\VS{6}Then
Joshua,
in great grief,
went
down
on
the
earth
before
the
ark
of
the
Lord
till
the
evening,
and
all
the
chiefs
of
Israel
with
him,
and
they
put
dust
on
their
heads.
\VS{7}And
Joshua
said,
O
Lord
God,
why
have
you
taken
us
over
Jordan
only
to
give
us
up
into
the
hands
of
the
Amorites
for
our
destruction?
If
only
it
had
been
enough
for
us
to keep
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan!
\VS{8}O
Lord,
what am
I
to
say
now
that
Israel
have given
way
before
their attackers?
\VS{9}For
when
the news comes
to
the
Canaanites
and
all
the
people
of
the
land,
they
will
come
up, shutting
us
in
and cutting
off
our
name
from
the
earth:
and
what
will
you
do
for
the honour
of
your
great
name?
\VS{10}Then
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Get
up;
what
are
you doing
with
your
face
to
the earth?
\VS{11}Israel
has
done
wrong,
sinning
against
the
agreement
which
I
made
with
them:
they
have
even
taken
of
the cursed
thing; acting falsely
like thieves
they
have
put
it
among
their
goods.
\VS{12}For
this reason
the
children
of
Israel
have given
way,
turning
their
backs
in flight
before
their attackers,
because
they
are cursed:
I
will
no
longer
be
with
you,
if
you
do
not put
the cursed
thing
away
from
among
you.
\VS{13}Up!
make
the
people
holy;
say
to
them,
Make
yourselves
holy
before
tomorrow,
for
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
has
said,
There
is
a cursed
thing
among
you,
O
Israel,
and
you
will give
way
before
your attackers
in
the fight
till
the cursed
thing
has
been
taken
away
from
among
you.
\VS{14}So
in
the
morning
you
are
to
come
near,
tribe
by
tribe;
and
the
tribe marked out
by
the
Lord
is
to
come
near,
family
by
family;
and
the
family marked out
by
the
Lord
is
to
come
near,
house
by
house;
and
the
house marked out
by
the
Lord
is
to
come
near,
man
by
man.
\VS{15}Then
the
man
who
is
taken
with
the cursed
thing
is
to
be
burned,
with
everything
which
is
his;
because
he
has
gone
against
the
agreement
of
the
Lord
and
has
done
an
act
of shame
in
Israel.
\VS{16}So
Joshua
got
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
made
Israel
come before
him
by
their
tribes;
and
the
tribe
of
Judah
was
taken;
\VS{17}Then
he
made
Judah
come
forward,
and
the
family
of
the
Zerahites
was
taken;
and
he
made
the
family
of
the
Zerahites
come
forward
man
by
man;
and
Zabdi
was
taken;
\VS{18}Then
the
house
of
Zabdi
came
forward
man
by
man,
and
Achan,
the
son
of
Carmi,
the
son
of
Zabdi,
the
son
of
Zerah,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
was
taken.
\VS{19}And
Joshua
said
to
Achan,
My
son,
give
glory
and
praise
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel;
give
me
word
now
of
what
you
have
done,
and
keep
nothing
back
from
me.
\VS{20}And
Achan, answering,
said
to
Joshua,
Truly
I
have
done
wrong
against
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
and
this
is
what
I
have
done:
\VS{21}When
I
saw
among
their goods
a fair
robe
of Babylon
and
two
hundred
shekels
of
silver,
and
a mass
of
gold,
fifty
shekels
in
weight,
I
was overcome
by
desire
and
took
them;
and
they
are
put
away
in
the
earth
in
my
tent,
and
the
silver
is
under
it.
\VS{22}So
Joshua
sent men
quickly,
and looking
in
his
tent,
they
saw
where
the robe
had been
put
away
secretly
with
the
silver
under
it.
\VS{23}And
they
took
them
from
the
tent
and
came
back
with
them
to
Joshua
and
the
children
of
Israel,
and
put
them
before
the
Lord.
\VS{24}Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
took
Achan,
the
son
of
Zerah,
and
the
silver
and
the
robe
and
the mass
of
gold,
and
his
sons
and
his
daughters
and
his
oxen
and
his asses
and
his
sheep
and
his
tent
and
everything
he
had;
and
they
took
them
up
into
the
valley
of
Achor.
\VS{25}And
Joshua
said,
Why
have
you
been
a cause
of
trouble
to
us?
Today
the
Lord
will send
trouble
on
you.
And
all
Israel
took part
in
stoning
him;
they
had
him
stoned
to
death
and
then
burned
with
fire.
\VS{26}And
over
him
they
put
a
great mass
of
stones,
which
is
there
to
this
day;
then
the heat
of
the Lord's
wrath
was
turned
away.
So
that
place
was
named,
The
Valley
of
Achor,
to
this
day.

\par }\Chap{8}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Have
no
fear
and
do
not
be troubled:
take
with
you
all
the fighting-men
and
go
up
against
Ai:
for
I
have
given
into
your
hands
the
king
of
Ai
and
his
people
and
his
town
and
his
land:
\VS{2}And
you
are
to
do
to
Ai
and
its
king
as
you
did
to
Jericho
and
its
king:
but
their goods
and
their
cattle
you
may
take
for yourselves:
let
a secret force
be
stationed
to
make
a surprise attack
on
the
town
from
the
back.
\VS{3}So
Joshua
and
the fighting-men
got ready
to
go
up
against
Ai;
and
Joshua
took
thirty
thousand
men
of
war,
and
sent
them
out
by
night.
\VS{4}And
he
gave
them
their
orders,
saying,
Go
and
take
up
your
position secretly
at
the
back
of
the
town:
do
not
go
very
far
away,
and
let
all
of
you
be
ready:
\VS{5}And
I
and
all
the
people
with
me
will
come
near
the
town,
and
when
they
come
out
against
us
as
they
did
before,
we
will
go
in
flight
from
them;
\VS{6}And
they
will
come
out
after
us,
till
we
have
got
them
away
from
the
town;
for
they
will
say,
They
have
gone
in
flight
from
us
as
before;
so
we
will
go
in
flight
before
them;
\VS{7}Then
you
will
get
up
from
your secret position
and
take
the
town,
for
the
Lord
your
God
will
give
it
up
into
your
hands.
\VS{8}And
when
you
have
taken
the
town,
put
fire
to
it,
as
the
Lord
has
said:
see,
I
have
given
you
your
orders.
\VS{9}So
Joshua
sent
them
out:
and
they took
up
a secret position
between Beth-el
and
Ai,
on
the
west
side
of
Ai:
but
Joshua kept
with
the
people
that
night.
\VS{10}And
early
in
the
morning
Joshua
got
up,
and
put
the
people
in order,
and
he
and
the chiefs
of
Israel
went
up
before
the
people
to
Ai.
\VS{11}And
all
the fighting-men
who
were
with
him
went
up
and
came
near
the
town,
and
took
up
a position
on
the
north
side
of
Ai facing
the
town,
with
a
valley
between
him
and
the
town.
\VS{12}And
taking
about
five
thousand
men,
he
put
them
in position
for
a surprise attack
on
the
west
side
of
Ai,
between Beth-el
and
Ai.
\VS{13}So
all
the
people
were
in
their
places,
the
army
on
the
north
side
of
the
town
and
the secret force
on
the
west;
and
that
night
Joshua went
down
into
the
valley.
\VS{14}Now
when
the
king
of
Ai
saw
it,
he
got
up
quickly
and
went
out
to
war
against
Israel,
he
and
all
his
people,
to
the slope
going
down
to
the valley;
but
he
had
no idea
that
a secret force
was waiting
at
the
back
of
the
town.
\VS{15}Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel, acting
as if
they
were overcome
before
them,
went
in
flight
by
way
of
the waste
land.
\VS{16}And
all
the
people
in Ai came
together
to go
after
them;
and
they
went
after
Joshua, moving
away
from
the
town.
\VS{17}There
was
not
a
man
in
Ai
and Beth-el
who
did
not
go
out
after
Israel;
and
the
town
was
open
and unwatched
while
they
went
after
Israel.
\VS{18}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Let
your
spear
be
stretched
out
against
Ai;
for
I
will
give
it
into
your
hands.
So
Joshua
took
up
his
spear,
stretching
it
out
in
the
direction
of
the
town.
\VS{19}Then
the secret
force
came
quickly
from
their
place,
and
running
forward
when
they saw
his
hand
stretched
out,
went
into
the
town
and
took
it,
and
put
fire
to
it straight
away.
\VS{20}Then
the
men
of
Ai,
looking
back,
saw
the
smoke
of
the
town
going
up
to
heaven,
and
were unable
to
go
this
way
or
that:
and
the
people
who
had
gone
in
flight
to
the waste
land
were
turned
back
on
those
who
were
coming
after
them.
\VS{21}And
when
Joshua
and
all
Israel
saw
that
the
town
had
been
taken
by
the surprise
attack,
and
that
the
smoke
of
the
town
had
gone
up,
turning round
they overcame
the
men
of
Ai.
\VS{22}Then
the
other force
came
out
of
the
town
against
them,
so
that
they
were
being
attacked
on
this
side
and
on
that:
and
Israel overcame
them
and
let
not
one
of
them
get
away
with
his life.
\VS{23}But
the
king
of
Ai
they
made prisoner,
and
took
him
to
Joshua.
\VS{24}Then,
after
the
destruction
of
all
the
people
of
Ai
in
the
field
and
in
the
waste
land
where
they
went
after
them,
and
when
all
the
people
had
been
put
to death without mercy,
all
Israel
went
back
to
Ai,
and
put
to death
all
who
were
in
it without mercy.
\VS{25}On
that
day
twelve
thousand
were put
to death,
men
and
women,
all
the
people
of
Ai.
\VS{26}For
Joshua
did
not
take
back
his
hand
with
the
outstretched
spear
till
the destruction
of
the
people
of
Ai
was
complete.
\VS{27}But
the
cattle
and
the goods
from
that
town,
Israel
took
for
themselves,
as
the
Lord
had
given
orders
to
Joshua.
\VS{28}So
Joshua
gave
Ai
to
the flames,
and
made
it
a
waste mass
of stones
for
ever,
as
it
is
to
this
day.
\VS{29}And
he
put
the
king
of
Ai
to
death,
hanging
him
on
a
tree
till
evening:
and
when
the
sun
went
down,
Joshua
gave
them
orders
to
take
his
body
down
from
the
tree,
and
put
it
in
the public
place
of
the
town, covering
it
with
a
great mass
of
stones,
which
is
there
to
this
day.
\VS{30}Then
Joshua put
up
an
altar
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
in
Mount
Ebal,
\VS{31}In
the
way
ordered
by
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
as
it
is
recorded
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Moses,
an
altar
of
uncut
stones, untouched
by
any
iron instrument:
and
on
it
they
made burned
offerings
and peace-offerings
to
the
Lord.
\VS{32}And
he
made
there
on
the
stones
a
copy
of
the
law
of
Moses,
writing
it
before
the eyes
of
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{33}And
all
Israel,
those
who
were
Israelites
by birth,
as
well
as
the
men
from
other lands
living
with
them,
and
their
responsible
men
and
their overseers
and
judges,
took
their
places round
the
ark,
in
front
of
the
priests,
the
Levites,
whose work
it
was
to
take
up
the
ark
of
the Lord's
agreement;
half
of
them
were
stationed
in
front
of
Mount
Gerizim
and
half
in
front
of
Mount
Ebal,
in
agreement
with
the
orders
for
the
blessing
of
the children
of
Israel
which
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
had
given.
\VS{34}And
after,
he
gave
them
all
the
words
of
the
law,
the
blessing
and
the
curse,
as
it
is
all
recorded
in
the
book
of
the
law;
\VS{35}Reading
to
all
the meeting
of
Israel,
with
the
women
and
the
children
and
the
men
from
other lands
who
were
living
among
them,
every
word
of
the
orders
which
Moses
had
given.

\par }\Chap{9}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
on
hearing
the news
of
these
things,
all
the
kings
on
the
west
side
of
Jordan,
in
the hill-country
and
the lowlands
and
by
the
Great
Sea
in
front
of
Lebanon,
the
Hittites
and
the
Amorites,
the
Canaanites,
the
Perizzites,
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites,
\VS{2}Came
together
with
one purpose,
to make war
against
Joshua
and
Israel.
\VS{3}And
the
men
of
Gibeon,
hearing
what
Joshua
had
done
to
Jericho
and
Ai,
\VS{4}Acting
with deceit,
got food
together
as if
for
a long journey;
and
took old food-bags
for
their asses,
and old
and cracked wine-skins
kept
together
with cord;
\VS{5}And put old stitched-up
shoes
on
their
feet,
and old
clothing
on
their backs;
and
all
the
food
they
had
with
them
was
dry
and broken
up.
\VS{6}And
they
came
to
Joshua
to
the tent-circle
at
Gilgal,
and
said
to
him
and
to
the
men
of
Israel,
We
have
come
from
a
far
country:
so
now
make
an
agreement
with
us.
\VS{7}And
the
men
of
Israel
said
to
the
Hivites,
It
may
be
that
you
are
living
among
us;
how
then
may
we
make
an
agreement
with
you?
\VS{8}And
they
said
to
Joshua,
We
are
your
servants.
Then
Joshua
said
to
them,
Who
are
you
and
where
do
you
come
from?
\VS{9}And
they
said
to
him,
Your
servants
have
come
from
a
very
far
country,
because
of
the
name
of
the
Lord
your
God:
for
the story
of
his
great
name,
and
of
all
he
did
in
Egypt
has
come
to
our ears,
\VS{10}And
what
he
did
to
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites
east
of
Jordan,
to
Sihon,
king
of
Heshbon,
and
to
Og,
king
of
Bashan,
at
Ashtaroth.
\VS{11}So
the responsible
men
and
all
the
people
of
our
country
said
to
us,
Take
food
with
you
for
the
journey
and go
to
them,
and
say
to
them,
We
are
your
servants:
so
now
make
an
agreement
with
us.
\VS{12}This
bread
which
we
have
with
us
for
our
food,
we
took
warm
and new
from
our
houses
when
starting
on
our journey
to
you;
but
now
see,
it
has
become
dry
and broken
up.
\VS{13}And
these wine-skins
were
new
when
we put
the
wine
in
them,
and
now
they
are cracked
as
you
see;
and
our
clothing
and
our
shoes
have
become
old
because
of
our
very
long
journey
here.
\VS{14}And
the
men
took
some
of
their food,
without requesting directions
from
the
Lord.
\VS{15}So
Joshua
made
peace
with
them,
and
made
an
agreement
with
them
that
they
were not
to
be
put
to death:
and
the
chiefs
of
the people
took
an
oath
to
them.
\VS{16}Now
three
days
after,
when
they
had
made
this
agreement
with
them,
they
had word
that
these
men
were
their neighbours,
living
near
them.
\VS{17}And
the
children
of
Israel
went
forward
on
their
journey,
and
on
the
third
day
came
to
their
towns.
Now
their
towns
were
Gibeon
and Chephirah
and
Beeroth
and
Kiriath-jearim.
\VS{18}And
the
children
of
Israel
did
not
put
them
to death,
because
the
chiefs
of
the
people
had
taken
an
oath
to
them
by
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel.
And
all
the
people
made
an outcry
against
the
chiefs.
\VS{19}But
all
the
chiefs
said
to
the
people,
We
have taken
an
oath
to
them
by
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
and
so
we
may
not
put
our hands
on
them.
\VS{20}This
is
what
we
will
do
to
them:
we
will
not
put
them
to death,
for fear
that
wrath
may
come
on
us
because
of
our
oath
to
them.
\VS{21}Keep
them living,
and
let
them
be servants, cutting
wood
and getting
water
for
all
the
people.
And
all
the
people
did
as
the
chiefs
had
said
to
them.
\VS{22}Then
Joshua
sent
for
them,
and
said
to
them,
Why
have
you been false
to
us,
saying,
We
are
very
far
from
you,
when
you
are
living
among
us?
\VS{23}Now
because
of
this
you
are
cursed,
and
you
will
for ever
be
our
servants, cutting
wood
and getting
water
for
the
house
of
my
God.
\VS{24}And, answering
Joshua,
they
said,
Because
it
came
to
the ears
of
your
servants
that
the
Lord
your
God
had
given
orders
to
his
servant
Moses
to
give
you
all
this
land,
and
to
send
destruction
on
all
the
people
living
in
it,
because
of
you;
so, fearing
greatly
for
our
lives
because
of
you,
we
have
done
this.
\VS{25}And
now
we
are
in
your
hands:
do
to
us
whatever
seems
good
and
right
to
you.
\VS{26}So
he
kept
them safe
from
the
children
of
Israel,
and
did
not
let
them
be
put
to death.
\VS{27}And
that
day
Joshua
made
them servants, cutting
wood
and getting
water
for
the
people
and
for
the
altar
of
the
Lord,
in
the
place marked
out
by
him,
to
this
day.

\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
when
it
came
to
the ears
of
Adoni-zedek,
king
of
Jerusalem,
that
Joshua
had
taken
Ai,
and
had
given
it
up
to
the curse (for
as
he
had
done
to
Jericho
and
its
king,
so
he
had
done
to
Ai
and
its
king);
and
that
the
people
of
Gibeon
had
made peace
with
Israel
and
were
living
among
them;
\VS{2}He
was
in
great
fear,
because
Gibeon
was
a
great
town,
like
one
of
the king's
towns,
greater
than
Ai,
and
all
the
men
in
it
were
men
of war.
\VS{3}So
Adoni-zedek,
king
of
Jerusalem,
sent
to
Hoham,
king
of
Hebron,
and
to
Piram,
king
of
Jarmuth,
and
to
Japhia,
king
of
Lachish,
and
to
Debir,
king
of
Eglon,
saying,
\VS{4}Come
up
to
me
and
give
me
help,
and let
us
make
an
attack
on
Gibeon:
for
they
have
made peace
with
Joshua
and
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{5}So
the
five
kings
of
the
Amorites,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
and
the
king
of
Eglon,
were banded
together,
and
went
up
with
all
their
armies
and
took
up
their position
before
Gibeon
and
made war
against
it.
\VS{6}And
the
men
of
Gibeon
sent
to
Joshua
to
the tent-circle
at
Gilgal,
saying,
Be
not slow
to
send
help
to
your
servants;
come
up
quickly
to
our
support
and keep
us
safe:
for
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites
from
the hill-country
have
come
together
against
us.
\VS{7}So
Joshua
went
up
from
Gilgal
with
all
his
army
and
all
his
men
of
war.
\VS{8}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Have
no
fear
of
them,
for
I
have
given
them
into
your
hands;
they
will
all
give
way
before
you.
\VS{9}So
Joshua, having
come
up
from
Gilgal
all
night,
made
a
sudden
attack
on
them.
\VS{10}And
the
Lord
made
them full
of fear
before
Israel,
and
they put
great numbers
of
them
to death
at
Gibeon,
and
went
after
them
by
the
way going
up
to
Beth-horon, driving
them back
to
Azekah
and
Makkedah
\VS{11}And
in
their
flight
before
Israel,
on
the
way
down
from
Beth-horon,
the
Lord sent
down
great
stones
from
heaven
on
them
all
the
way
to
Azekah, causing
their
death:
those
whose
death
was
caused
by
the
stones
were
more
than
those
whom
the
children
of
Israel
put
to
death
with
the
sword.
\VS{12}It
was
on
the
day
when
the
Lord
gave
up
the
Amorites
into
the hands
of
the
children
of
Israel
that
Joshua
said
to
the
Lord,
before
the
eyes
of
Israel,
Sun,
be
at rest
over
Gibeon;
and
you,
O
moon,
in
the
valley
of
Aijalon.
\VS{13}And
the
sun
was
at rest
and
the
moon
kept
its
place
till
the
nation
had given punishment
to
their attackers. (Is
it
not
recorded
in
the
book
of
Jashar?)
So
the
sun
kept
its
place
in
the
middle
of
the
heavens,
and
was
waiting,
and
did
not
go
down,
for
the space
of
a
day.
\VS{14}And
there
was
no
day
like
that,
before
it
or
after
it,
when
the
Lord
gave ear
to
the
voice
of
a
man;
for
the
Lord
was
fighting
for
Israel.
\VS{15}And
Joshua,
with
all
Israel,
went
back
to
the tent-circle
at
Gilgal.
\VS{16}But
these
five
kings went
in
flight
secretly
to
a hole
in
the rock
at
Makkedah.
\VS{17}And
word
was given
to
Joshua
that
the
five
kings
had been
taken
in
a hole
in
the rock
at
Makkedah.
\VS{18}And
Joshua
said,
Let
great
stones
be
rolled
against
the
mouth
of
the hole,
and
let
men
keep
watch
by
it:
\VS{19}But
do
you,
without waiting,
go
after
their army, attacking
them
from
the
back;
do
not
let
them
get
into
their
towns,
for
the
Lord
your
God
has
given
them
into
your
hands.
\VS{20}Now
when
Joshua
and
the
children
of
Israel
had
come
to
the
end
of
their war
of
complete
destruction,
and
had
put
to death
all
but
a small band
who
had got safely
into
the walled
towns,
\VS{21}All
the
people
went
back
to
Joshua
to
the tent-circle
at
Makkedah
in
peace:
and
no
one
said
a
word
against
the
children
of
Israel.
\VS{22}Then
Joshua
said,
Take
away
the stones
from
the
mouth
of
the hole
in
the rock,
and make
those
five
kings
come
out
to
me.
\VS{23}And
they
did
so,
and
made
those
five
kings
come
out
of
the hole
to
him,
the
king
of
Jerusalem,
the
king
of
Hebron,
the
king
of
Jarmuth,
the
king
of
Lachish,
and
the
king
of
Eglon.
\VS{24}And
when
they
had
made
those
kings
come
out
to
Joshua,
Joshua
sent
for
all
the
men
of
Israel,
and
said
to
the
chiefs
of
the
men
of
war
who
had
gone
with
him,
Come
near
and
put
your
feet
on
the
necks
of
these
kings.
So
they
came
near
and
put
their
feet
on
their
necks.
\VS{25}And
Joshua
said
to
them,
Have
no
fear
and
do
not
be troubled;
be
strong
and
take heart:
for
so
will
the
Lord
do
to
all
against
whom
you
make war.
\VS{26}Then
Joshua
had
them
put
to
death,
hanging
them
on
five
trees,
where
they
were
till
evening.
\VS{27}And
when
the
sun
went
down,
they
were
taken
down
from
the
trees,
by Joshua's
orders,
and
put
into
the hole
where
they
had
gone
to
be safe;
and
great
stones
were
placed
at
the
mouth
of
the hole,
where
they
are
to
this
day.
\VS{28}That
day
Joshua
took
Makkedah,
and
put
it
and
its
king
to
the
sword;
every
soul
in
it
he
gave
up
to
the curse
without mercy:
and
he
did
to
the
king
of
Makkedah
as
he
had
done
to
the
king
of
Jericho.
\VS{29}Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him went
on
from
Makkedah
and came
to
Libnah,
and
made an
attack
on
it;
\VS{30}And again
the
Lord
gave
it
and
its
king
into
the
hands
of
Israel;
and
he
put
it
and
every
person
in
it
to
the
sword, till
their destruction
was
complete;
and
he
did
to
its
king
as
he
had
done
to
the
king
of
Jericho.
\VS{31}Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him went
on
from
Libnah
to
Lachish,
and took
up
their position
against
it
and
made
an
attack
on
it,
\VS{32}And
the
Lord
gave
Lachish
into
the
hands
of
Israel,
and
on
the
second
day
he
took
it,
putting
it
and
every
person
in
it
to
the
sword without
mercy,
as
he
had
done
to
Libnah.
\VS{33}Then
Horam,
king
of
Gezer,
came
up
to
the
help
of
Lachish;
and
Joshua overcame
him
and
his
people, putting
all
of
them
to death.
\VS{34}And
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him went
on
from
Lachish
to
Eglon:
and
they took
up
their position
against
it
and
made
an
attack
on
it;
\VS{35}And
that
day
they
took
it, putting
it
and
every
person
in
it
to
the
sword,
as
he
had
done
to
Lachish.
\VS{36}And
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
went
up
from
Eglon
to
Hebron,
and
made
an
attack
on
it;
\VS{37}And
took
it, overcoming
it
and putting
it
and
its
king
and
its
towns
and
every
person
in
it
to
the
sword:
as
he
had
done
to
Eglon,
he
put
them
all
to
death,
and
gave
it
up
to
the curse
with
every
person
in
it.
\VS{38}And
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
went
on
to
make
an
attack
on
Debir;
\VS{39}And
he
took
it,
with
its
king
and
all
its
towns:
and
he
put
them
to
the
sword, giving
every
person
in
it
to
the curse;
all
were
put
to
death:
as
he
had
done
to
Hebron,
so
he
did
to
Debir
and
its
king.
\VS{40}So
Joshua overcame
all
the
land,
the hill-country
and
the
South
and
the
lowland
and
the
mountain
slopes,
and
all
their
kings;
all
were
put
to death:
and
every living
thing
he
gave
up
to
the curse,
as
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
had
given
him
orders.
\VS{41}Joshua overcame
them
from
Kadesh-barnea
to
Gaza,
and
all
the
land
of
Goshen
as
far
as
Gibeon.
\VS{42}And
all
these
kings
and
their
land
Joshua
took
at
the
same
time,
because
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
was
fighting
for
Israel.
\VS{43}Then
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
went
back
to
their tents
at
Gilgal.

\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Jabin,
king
of
Hazor,
hearing
of these
things,
sent
to
Jobab,
king
of
Madon,
and
to
the
king
of
Shimron,
and
to
the
king
of
Achshaph,
\VS{2}And
to
the
kings
on
the
north
in
the hill-country,
and
in
the
Arabah
south
of
Chinneroth,
and
in
the
lowland,
and
in
the highlands
of
Dor
on
the
west,
\VS{3}And
to
the
Canaanites
on
the
east
and
on
the
west,
and
to
the
Amorites
and
the
Hittites
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Jebusites
in
the hill-country,
and
the
Hivites
under
Hermon
in
the
land
of
Mizpah.
\VS{4}And
they
went
out,
they
and
all
their
armies
with
them,
a
great
people,
in
number
like
the
sand
on
the seaside,
with
horses
and war-carriages
in
great
number.
\VS{5}And
all
these
kings
came
together,
and
put
their
forces
in position
at
the
waters
of
Merom,
to make war
on
Israel.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
Have
no
fear
of
them:
for
tomorrow
at
this
time
I
will
give
them
all
up
dead
before
Israel;
you
are
to
have
the leg-muscles
of
their
horses cut
and
their war-carriages
burned
with
fire.
\VS{7}So
Joshua
and
all
the
men
of
war
with
him
came
against
them
suddenly
at
the
waters
of
Merom,
and
made
an
attack
on
them.
\VS{8}And
the
Lord
gave
them
up
into
the
hands
of
Israel,
and
they overcame
them driving
them back
to
great Zidon
and
to
Misrephoth-maim
and
into
the
valley
of
Mizpeh
to
the
east;
and
they
put
them
all
to death,
no man got away safely.
\VS{9}And
Joshua
did
to
them
as
the
Lord
had
said
to
him;
he
had
the leg-muscles
of
their
horses cut
and
their war-carriages
burned
with
fire.
\VS{10}At
that
time,
Joshua
went
on
to
take
Hazor
and
put
its
king
to
the
sword:
for
in earlier
times
Hazor
was
the
chief
of
all
those
kingdoms.
\VS{11}And
they
put
every
person
in
it
to
death
without mercy, giving
every
living
thing
up
to
the curse,
and
burning
Hazor.
\VS{12}And
all
the
towns
of
these
kings,
and
all
the
kings,
Joshua
took,
and
put
them
to
the
sword:
he
gave
them
up
to
the curse,
as
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
had
said.
\VS{13}As
for
the
towns
made
on hills
of earth,
not
one
was
burned
by
Israel
but
Hazor, which
was
burned
by
Joshua.
\VS{14}And
all
the goods
taken
from
these
towns,
and
their
cattle,
the
children
of
Israel kept
for
themselves;
but
every
man
they
put
to death
without mercy,
till
their
destruction
was
complete,
and
there
was
no
one living.
\VS{15}As
the
Lord
had
given
orders
to
Moses
his
servant,
so
Moses
gave
orders
to
Joshua,
and
so
Joshua
did;
every
order
which
the
Lord
had
given
to
Moses
was
done.
\VS{16}So
Joshua
took
all
that
land,
the hill-country
and
all
the
South,
and
all
the
land
of
Goshen,
and
the
lowland
and
the
Arabah,
the hill-country
of
Israel
and
its
lowland;
\VS{17}From
Mount
Halak,
which
goes
up
to
Seir,
as
far
as
Baal-gad
in
the
valley
of
Lebanon
under
Mount
Hermon:
and
all
their
kings
he overcame
and
put
to
death.
\VS{18}For
a
long
time
Joshua
made
war
on
all
those
kings.
\VS{19}Not
one
town
made peace
with
the
children
of
Israel,
but
only
the
Hivites
of
Gibeon:
they
took
them
all
in
war.
\VS{20}For
the
Lord
made
them
strong
in
heart
to
go
to
war
against
Israel,
so
that
he
might
give
them
up
to
the curse
without
mercy,
and
that
destruction
might
come
on
them,
as
the
Lord
had
given
orders
to
Moses.
\VS{21}And
Joshua
came
at
that
time
and
put
an end
to
the
Anakim
in
the hill-country,
in
Hebron,
in
Debir,
in
Anab,
and
in
all
the hill-country
of
Judah
and
Israel:
Joshua
gave
them
and
their
towns
to
the curse.
\VS{22}Not
one
of
the
Anakim
was
to
be seen
in
the
land
of
the
children
of
Israel:
only
in
Gaza,
in
Gath,
and
in
Ashdod,
some
were still living.
\VS{23}So
Joshua
took
all
the
land,
as
the
Lord
had
said
to
Moses;
and
Joshua
gave
it
to
the children
of
Israel
as
their
heritage,
making
division
of
it
among
them
by
their
tribes.
And
the
land
had
rest
from
war.

\par }\Chap{12}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
these
are
the

You

only make division

now make division

made
by

he
said
to

\VS{23}And
the limit
of
the
children
of
Reuben
was
the edge
of
Jordan.
This
was
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Reuben
by
their
families,
with
its
towns
and
its unwalled places.
\VS{24}And
Moses
gave
their heritage
to
the
tribe
of
Gad
by
their
families.
\VS{25}And
their limit
was
Jazer,
and
all
the
towns
of
Gilead,

half
the

of
the

of
Ammon,
to
Aroer
before

from
Heshbon

Ramath-mizpeh,

from
Mahanaim
to
the edge
of
Debir;
\VS{27}And
in
the

Beth-haram,
and
Beth-nimrah,
and
Succoth,
and
Zaphon,
the
rest
of
the
kingdom
of
Sihon,
king
of
Heshbon,
having
Jordan
for
its limit,
to
the
end
of
the
sea
of
Chinnereth
on
the
east
side
of
Jordan.
\VS{28}This
is
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Gad
by their
families,
with
its
towns
and
its unwalled places
\VS{29}And
Moses
gave
their heritage
to
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
by
their
families.
\VS{30}And
their limit
was
from
Mahanaim,
all
Bashan,
all
the
kingdom
of
Og,
king
of
Bashan,
and
all Havvoth-Jair,
in
Bashan,
sixty

half
Gilead,

Ashtaroth,

Edrei,
towns
of
the
kingdom

Og
in
Bashan,
were
for
the
children
of
Machir,
the
son
of
Manasseh,
for
half
of
the
children
of
Machir
by their
families.
\VS{32}These
are
the heritages
of
which
Moses
made distribution
in
the lowlands
of
Moab,
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan
in
Jericho,
to
the
east.
\VS{33}But
to
the
tribe
of
Levi
Moses
gave
no
heritage:
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel,
is
their
heritage,
as
he
said
to
them.

\par }\Chap{14}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
these
are
the heritages
which
the
children
of
Israel
took
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
which
Eleazar,
the
priest,
and
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun,
and
the
heads
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
gave
out
to
them;
\VS{2}Their
heritage
by
the Lord's decision,
as
he
gave
orders
by
Moses,
for
the
nine
tribes
and
the
half-tribe.
\VS{3}For
Moses
had
given
their
heritage
to
the
two
tribes
and
the
half-tribe
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan,
but
to
the
Levites
he
gave
no
heritage
among
them.
\VS{4}Because
the
children
of
Joseph
were
two
tribes,
Manasseh
and
Ephraim;
and
they
gave
the
Levites
no part
in
the
land,
only
towns
for
their living-places,
with
the grass-lands
for
their
cattle
and
for
their
property.
\VS{5}As
the
Lord
had
given
orders
to
Moses,
so
the
people
of
Israel
did,
and
they
made division
of
the
land.
\VS{6}Then
the
children
of
Judah
went
to
Joshua
in
Gilgal;
and
Caleb,
the
son
of
Jephunneh
the
Kenizzite,
said
to
him,
You
have
knowledge
of
what
the
Lord
said
to
Moses,
the
man
of
God,
about
me
and
about
you
in
Kadesh-barnea.
\VS{7}I
was
forty
years
old
when
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
sent
me
from
Kadesh-barnea
to
make
a search
through
the
land;
and
the
account
which
I
gave
him
was
in keeping
with
his
desire.
\VS{8}My
brothers, however,
who
went
up
with
me,
made
the
heart
of
the
people
like
water:
but
I
was
true
to
the
Lord
with
all
my
heart.
\VS{9}And
on
that
day
Moses
took
an
oath,
saying,
Truly
the
land
where
your
feet
have
been
placed
will
become
a
heritage
for
you
and
your
children
for
ever,
because
you
have
been
true
to
the
Lord
your
God
with
all
your heart.
\VS{10}And
now,
as
you
see,
the
Lord
has kept
me safe
these
forty-five
years,
from
the
time
when
the
Lord
said
this
to
Moses,
while
Israel
was wandering
in
the waste land:
and
now
I
am
eighty-five
years
old.
\VS{11}And
still,
I am
as
strong
today
as
I
was
when
Moses
sent
me
out:
as
my
strength
was
then,
so
is
it
now,
for
war
and
for
all
the business
of
life.
\VS{12}So
now,
give
me
this hill-country
named
by
the
Lord
at
that
time;
for
you
had
an account
of
it
then,
how
the
Anakim
were
there,
and
great walled
towns:
it
may
be
that
the
Lord
will
be
with
me,
and
I
will
be able
to
take
their land,
as
the
Lord
said.
\VS{13}And
Joshua
gave
him
his
blessing;
and
he
gave
Hebron
to
Caleb,
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
for
his
heritage.
\VS{14}So
Hebron
became
the
heritage
of
Caleb,
the
son
of
Jephunneh
the
Kenizzite,
to
this
day,
because
with
all
his heart
he
was
true
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel.
\VS{15}In earlier
times
the
name
of
Hebron
had
been
Kiriath-arba,
named
after Arba,
the
greatest
of
the
Anakim.
And
the
land
had
rest
from
war.

\par }\Chap{15}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
the part
of
the
land marked
out
for
the

by

Edom,
as

as
the waste
land
of
Zin
to
the
south,
to
the farthest point
of
it

\VS{2}Their
south limit
was
from

is
the
Salt

And
the limit
of
the

of
the

is
from

Beth-hoglah, past

of
Beth-arabah,

up
to
the
stone
of
Bohan,
the

Reuben;

Gilgal,
which

Ekron
to

then
it

on

Mount
Baalah, ending
at
Jabneel;
the

of
the
line
is
at
the

\VS{12}And
the limit
on

west
is
the edge
of
the

This
is
the
line going
round
the
land marked
out
for
the
children
of
Judah,
by
their
families.
\VS{13}And
to
Caleb,
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
he
gave
a
part
among
the
children
of
Judah,
as
the
Lord
had
given orders
to
Joshua,
that
is,
Kiriath-arba, named
after Arba,
the
father
of
Anak
which
is
Hebron.
\VS{14}And
the
three
sons
of
Anak,
Sheshai
and
Ahiman
and
Talmai,
the
children
of
Anak,
were forced
out
from
there
by
Caleb.
\VS{15}From
there
he
went
up
against
the
people
of
Debir: (now
the
name
of
Debir
before
that
was
Kiriath-sepher.)
\VS{16}And
Caleb
said,
I
will
give
Achsah,
my
daughter,
as
wife
to
the man
who overcomes
Kiriath-sepher
and
takes
it.
\VS{17}And
Othniel,
the
son
of
Kenaz, Caleb's
brother,
took
it:
so
he
gave
him
his
daughter
Achsah
for
his
wife.
\VS{18}Now
when
she
came
to
him,
he
put
into
her mind
the idea
of requesting
a
field
from
her
father:
and
she got
down
from
her ass;
and
Caleb
said
to
her,
What
is
it?
\VS{19}And
she
said,
Give
me
a
blessing;
because
you
have
put
me
in dry south-land,
now
give
me
springs
of
water.
So
he
gave
her
the higher
spring
and
the
lower
spring.
\VS{20}This
is
the
heritage
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,

En-tappuah.
\VS{8}The
land
of
Tappuah
was
the property
of
Manasseh;
but
Tappuah
on
the edge
of
Manasseh
was
the property
of
the
children
of
Ephraim.
\VS{9}And
the limit
goes
down
to
the
stream
Kanah,
to
the
south
of
the
stream:
these
towns
were Ephraim's
among
the
towns
of
Manasseh; Manasseh's limit
was
on
the
north
side
of
the
stream, ending
at
the
sea:
\VS{10}To
the
south
it
is Ephraim's,
and
to
the
north
it
is Manasseh's,
and
the
sea
is
his limit;
and they
are touching
Asher
on
the
north,
and
Issachar
on
the
east.
\VS{11}In
Issachar
and
Asher,
Manasseh
had
Beth-shean
and
its daughter-towns,
and
Ibleam
and
its daughter-towns,
and
the
people
of
Dor
and
its daughter-towns,
and
the
people
of
En-dor
and
its daughter-towns,
and
the
people
of
Taanach
and
its daughter-towns,
and
the
people
of
Megiddo
and
its daughter-towns,
that
is,
the
three hills.
\VS{12}But
the
children
of
Manasseh
were
not
able
to make
the
people
of
those
towns go
out;
but
the
Canaanites would go
on
living
in
that
land.
\VS{13}And
when
the
children
of
Israel
had
become
strong,
they
put
the
Canaanites
to
forced
work,
in
place
of
driving
them
out.
\VS{14}Then
the
children
of
Joseph
said
to
Joshua,
Why
have
you
given
me
only
one part
and
one stretch
of
land
for
my
heritage?
For
through
the
blessing
given
to
me
by
the
Lord
up
to
now,
I
am
a
great
people.
\VS{15}Then
Joshua
said
to
them,
If
you
are such
a
great
people,
go
up
into
the woodlands, clearing
a
place
there
for
yourselves
in
the
land
of
the
Perizzites
and
the
Rephaim,
if
the hill-country
of
Ephraim
is
not wide
enough
for
you.
\VS{16}And
the
children
of
Joseph
said,
The hill-country
is
not
enough
for
us:
and
all
the
Canaanites
living
in
the
valley
have
iron war-carriages,
those
in
Beth-shean
and
its
towns
as
well
as
those
in
the
valley
of
Jezreel.
\VS{17}Then
Joshua
said
to
the children
of
Joseph,
to
Ephraim
and
Manasseh,
You
are
a
great
people,
and
have
great
power:
you
are
not
to
have
one property
only,
\VS{18}For
the hill-country
of Gilead
will
be yours ...
the woodland
and cut
down ...
its outskirts
will
be yours ... get
the
Canaanites
out,
for
they
have
iron war-carriages ...
strong.

\par }\Chap{18}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
all
the
meeting
of
the
children
of
Israel came
together
at
Shiloh
and put
up
the
Tent
of
meeting
there:
and
the
land
was crushed
before
them.
\VS{2}But
there
were still
seven
tribes
among
the
children
of
Israel
who
had
not taken
up
their
heritage.
\VS{3}Then
Joshua
said
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Why
are
you
so slow
to
go
in
and
take
up
your heritage
in
the
land
which
the
Lord,
the
God
of
your
fathers,
has
given
you?
\VS{4}Take
from
among
you
three
men
from
every
tribe;
and
I
will
send
them
to
go
through
the
land
and
make
a
record
of
it
for distribution
as
their
heritage;
then
let
them
come
back
to
me.
\VS{5}And let
them
make division
of
it
into
seven parts: let
Judah keep
inside
his limit
on
the
south,
and let
the children
of
Joseph keep
inside
their limit
on
the
north.
\VS{6}And
you
are
to
have
the
land marked
out
in
seven parts,
and
come
back
to
me
with
the
record;
and
I
will
make
the distribution
for
you
here
by
the decision
of
the
Lord
our
God.
\VS{7}For
the
Levites
have
no
part
among
you;
to
be
the Lord's priests
is
their
heritage;
and
Gad
and
Reuben
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
have
had
their
heritage
on
the
east
side
of
Jordan,
given
to
them
by
Moses,
the
servant
of
the
Lord.
\VS{8}So
the
men
got
up
and
went;
and
Joshua
gave
orders
to
those
who
went,
to
make
a
record
of
the
land,
saying,
Go
up
and
down
through
the
land,
and
make
a
record
of
it
and
come
back
here
to
me,
and
I
will
make
the distribution
for
you
here
by
the decision
of
the
Lord
in
Shiloh.
\VS{9}So
the
men
went, travelling
through
the
land,
and made
a
record
of
it
by
towns
in
seven parts
in
a
book,
and
came
back
to
Joshua
to
the tent-circle
at
Shiloh.
\VS{10}And
Joshua made
the distribution
for
them
in
Shiloh
by
the decision
of
the
Lord, marking
out
the
land
for
the
children
of
Israel
by
their
divisions.
\VS{11}And
the first heritage
came
out
for
the
tribe
of
Benjamin
by
their
families:
and
the limit
of
their heritage
went
between
the
children
of
Judah
and
the
children
of
Joseph.
\VS{12}And
their limit
on
the
north
was
from
the
Jordan,
and
the
line
goes
up
to
the
side
of
Jericho
on
the
north
and
through
the hill-country
to
the
west, ending
at
the waste
land
of Beth-aven.
\VS{13}And
from
there
the
line
goes
south
to
Luz,
to
the
side
of
Luz (which
is Beth-el),
then
down
to
Ataroth-addar,
by
the
mountain
to
the
south
of
Beth-horon
the
lower.
\VS{14}And
the limit
is marked
as coming
round
to
the
south
on
the
west
side
from
the
mountain
which
is
south
of
Beth-horon,
and ending
at
Kiriath-baal (which
is
Kiriath-jearim),
a
town
of
the
children
of
Judah:
this
is
the
west
part.
\VS{15}And
the
south part
is
from
the farthest point
of
Kiriath-jearim,
and
the
line
goes
out
to
the
west
to
the
fountain
of
the
waters
of
Nephtoah:
\VS{16}And
the
line
goes
down
to
the farthest
part
of
the
mountain
facing
the
valley
of
the
son
of
Hinnom,
which
is
on
the
north
of
the
valley
of
Rephaim:
from
there
it
goes
down
to
the
valley
of
Hinnom,
to
the
side
of
the
Jebusite
on
the
south
as
far
as
En-rogel;
\VS{17}And
it
goes
to
En-shemesh
and
on
to
Geliloth,
opposite
the way
up
to
Adummim,
and
it
goes
down
to
the
stone
of
Bohan,
the
son
of
Reuben;
\VS{18}And
it
goes
on
to
the
side facing
the
Arabah
to
the
north,
and
down
to
the
Arabah;
\VS{19}And
on
to
the
north
side
of
Beth-hoglah, ending
at
the
north inlet
of
the
Salt
Sea
at
the
south
end
of
Jordan;
this
is
their limit
on
the
south.
\VS{20}And
the limit
of
the
east part
is
the
Jordan.
This
is
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Benjamin, marked
out
for
their
families
by
these limits
on
all
sides.
\VS{21}And
the
towns
of
the
children
of
Benjamin, given
to
them
in
the order
of
their
families,
are
Jericho
and
Beth-hoglah
and Emek-kezziz
\VS{22}And
Beth-arabah
and
Zemaraim
and Beth-el
\VS{23}And
Avvim
and
Parah
and
Ophrah
\VS{24}And
Chephar-Ammoni

Geba;
twelve

\VS{26}And
Mizpeh

\VS{27}And
Rekem

and
Taralah
\VS{28}And
Zela, Eleph
and
the
Jebusite (which
is
Jerusalem), Gibeath
and
Kiriath;
fourteen
towns
with their unwalled places.
This
is
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Benjamin
by their
families.

\par }\Chap{19}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
second
heritage
came
out
for
the
tribe
of
Simeon
by
their
families;
and
their
heritage
was
in
the
middle
of
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Judah.
\VS{2}And
they
had
for
their
heritage Beer-sheba

all
the unwalled
places
round
about
these

as
far
as Baalath-beer-ramah
to
the
south.
This
is
the
heritage
of
the
tribe
of
Simeon
by
their
families.
\VS{9}The
heritage
of
Simeon
was
taken out
of Judah's stretch
of
land,
for Judah's
part
was
more
than
they
had need
of,
so
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Simeon
was
inside
their
heritage.
\VS{10}And
the
third
heritage
came
out
for
Zebulun
by
their
families;
the limit
of
their
heritage
was
as
far
as Sarid;
\VS{11}And
their limit
goes
up
to
the
west
to
Maralah, stretching
to
Dabbesheth,
and
to
the
stream
in
front
of
Jokneam;
\VS{12}Then
turning
east
from Sarid
to
the limit
of
Chisloth-tabor,
it
goes
out

Daberath,
and
up

Japhia;

from
there
it
goes
on
east
to
Gath-hepher,
to
Eth-kazin; ending
at
Rimmon
which
goes
as far
as
Neah;
\VS{14}And
the
line goes
round
it
on

to
Hannathon, ending
at

and
Nahalal

\VS{16}This
is
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Zebulun
by their
families,
these
towns
with their unwalled places.
\VS{17}For
Issachar
the
fourth heritage
came
out,
for
the
children
of
Issachar
by
their
families;
\VS{18}And
their limit
was
to
Jezreel
and

sixteen

is
the
heritage
of

tribe
of
the
children
of
Issachar
by their
families,
these
towns
with their unwalled places.
\VS{24}And
the
fifth heritage
came
out
for
the
tribe
of
Asher
by
their
families.
\VS{25}And
their limit
was
Helkath
and
Hali
and
Beten
and
Achshaph
\VS{26}And
Alammelech
and
Amad
and
Mishal, stretching
to
Carmel
on

heritage

tribe

children
of
Asher
by their
families,
these
towns
with their unwalled places.
\VS{32}For
the
children
of
Naphtali
the
sixth heritage
came
out,
for
the
children
of
Naphtali
by
their
families;
\VS{33}And
their limit
was
from
Heleph,
from
the oak-tree
in
Zaanannim,
and Adami-hannekeb
and
Jabneel,
as
far
as
Lakkum, ending
at
Jordan;
\VS{34}And
turning
west
to
Aznoth-tabor,
the limit
goes
out
from
there
to
Hukkok, stretching
to
Zebulun
on
the
south,
and
Asher
on
the
west,
and
Judah
at
Jordan
on

\VS{35}And
the walled
towns
are

is
the
heritage
of
the
tribe
of
the
children
of
Naphtali
by their
families,
these
towns
with their unwalled places.
\VS{40}For
the
tribe
of
Dan
by
their
families
the
seventh heritage
came
out;
\VS{41}And
the limit
of
their
heritage
was
Zorah
and
Eshtaol
and
Ir-shemesh
\VS{42}And
Shaalabbin
and
Aijalon
and
Ithlah
\VS{43}And
Elon

Baalath
\VS{45}And
Jehud
and
Bene-berak
and
Gath-rimmon;
\VS{46}And
on
the west
was ...
opposite
Joppa.
\VS{47}(But
the limit
of
the
children
of
Dan
was
not
wide enough
for
them;
so
the
children
of
Dan
went
up
and
made
war
on
Leshem
and
took
it, putting
it
to
the
sword without mercy,
and
they
took
it
for
their heritage
and
made
a place
for
themselves
there, giving
it
the
name

after
the
name

heritage

the
land
and
its limits
was
complete;
and
the
children
of
Israel
gave
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun,
a
heritage
among
them;
\VS{50}By
the orders
of
the
Lord
they
gave
him
the
town
for
which
he
made
request, Timnath-serah
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim:
there,
after
building
the
town,
he
made
his living-place.
\VS{51}These
are
the
heritages
which
Eleazar
the
priest
and
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun,
and
the
heads
of
families
of
the
tribes
of

gave
out
at
Shiloh,
by
the decision
of

Lord,
at

Tent
of
meeting.
So
the distribution
of
the
land
was
complete.

\par }\Chap{20}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
the
Lord
said
to
Joshua,
\VS{2}Say
to
the
children
of
Israel,
Let
certain
towns
be marked
out
as safe
places,
as
I
said
to
you
by
the mouth
of
Moses,
\VS{3}So
that
any
man
who
in
error
and
without design
has
taken
the
life
of
another,
may
go
in
flight
to
them:
and
they
will
be safe places
for
you
from
him
who
has
the right
of punishment
for
blood.
\VS{4}And
if
anyone goes
in
flight
to
one
of
those
towns,
and
comes
into
the public
place
of
the
town,
and
puts
his
cause
before
the responsible
men
of
the
town,
they
will
take
him
into
the
town
and
give
him
a
place
among
them
where
he
may
be safe.
\VS{5}And
if
the
one
who
has
the right
of
punishment
comes
after
him,
they
are
not
to give
the taker
of
life
up
to
him;
because
he
was
the cause
of
his neighbour's
death
without designing
it
and
not
in
hate.
\VS{6}And
he
is
to
go
on
living
in
that
town
till
he
has
to
come
before
the meeting
of
the
people
to
be
judged; (till
the
death
of
him
who
is
high
priest
at
that
time:)
then
the taker
of
life
may
come
back
to
his
town
and
to
his
house,
to
the
town
from
which
he
had
gone
in
flight.
\VS{7}So
they
made selection
of
Kedesh
in
Galilee
in
the hill-country
of
Naphtali,
and
Shechem
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim,
and
Kiriath-arba (which
is
Hebron)
in
the hill-country
of
Judah.
\VS{8}And
on
the
east
side
of
Jordan
at
Jericho, they
made selection
of
Bezer
in
the waste

in
the table-land,
out
of
the
tribe

Ramoth
in
Gilead
out
of
the
tribe

and
Golan
in

out

were
the
towns marked
out
for
all
the
children

and
for
the
man
from
a strange country
living
among
them,
so
that
anyone causing
the

in
error,
might
go
in
flight
there,

not
be
put
to
death
by

were
to
have
towns
for
living
in,
with
their grass-lands
for
our
cattle.
\VS{3}And
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
their
heritage
gave
to
the
Levites
these
towns
with
their grass-lands,
by
the order
of
the
Lord.
\VS{4}And
the heritage
came
out
for
the
families
of
the
Kohathites:
the
children
of
Aaron
the
priest,
who
were
of
the
Levites,
were given
thirteen
towns
from
the
tribes
of
Judah,
Simeon,
and
Benjamin.
\VS{5}The
rest
of
the
children
of
Kohath
by
their
families
were given
ten
towns
from
the
tribes
of
Ephraim
and
Dan
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh.
\VS{6}The
children
of
Gershon
by their
families
were given
thirteen
towns
from
the
tribes
of
Issachar
and
Asher
and
Naphtali
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh which
was
in
Bashan.
\VS{7}The
children
of
Merari
by
their
families
were given
twelve
towns
from
the
tribes
of
Reuben
and
Gad
and
Zebulun.
\VS{8}All
these
towns
with
their grass-lands
the
children
of
Israel
gave
by
the decision
of
the
Lord
to
the
Levites,
as
the
Lord
had
given
orders
by
Moses.
\VS{9}From
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Judah
and
the
children
of
Simeon
they
gave
these
towns,
listed here
by
name:
\VS{10}These
were
for
the
children
of
Aaron among
the
families
of
the
Kohathites,
of
the
children
of
Levi:
for
they
came
first
in
the distribution.
\VS{11}They
gave
them
Kiriath-arba,
the town
of Arba,
the
father
of
Anak, (which
is
Hebron)
in
the hill-country
of
Judah,
with
its grass-lands.
\VS{12}But
the open
country round
the
town,
and
its unwalled places, they
gave
to
Caleb,
the
son
of
Jephunneh,
as
his
property.
\VS{13}And
to
the
children
of
Aaron
the
priest
they
gave

with
its grass-lands,

of life
might
be safe,

\VS{16}And

and
Beth-shemesh,
with
their grass-lands;
nine
towns
from
those
two
tribes.
\VS{17}And
from
the
tribe
of
Benjamin they gave
Gibeon
and
Geba
with their grass-lands;
\VS{18}Anathoth
and
Almon
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{19}Thirteen
towns
with

were given
to
the
children
of
Aaron,
the
priests.
\VS{20}The
rest
of
the
families
of
the
children
of
Kohath,
the
Levites,
were given
towns
from

tribe
of
Ephraim.
\VS{21}And they
gave
them
Shechem
with
its grass-lands
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim,
the
town where
the taker
of life
might
be safe,
and
Gezer
with
its grass-lands;
\VS{22}And
Kibzaim
and
Beth-horon
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{23}And
from
the
tribe
of
Dan,
Elteke
and
Gibbethon
with
their grass-lands;
\VS{24}Aijalon
and
Gath-rimmon
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{25}And
from
the half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
Taanach
and
Gath-rimmon
with
their grass-lands,
two
towns.
\VS{26}All
the
towns
of
the
rest
of
the
families
of
the
children
of
Kohath
were
ten
with
their grass-lands.
\VS{27}And
to
the
children
of
Gershon,
of
the
families
of
the
Levites, they gave
from
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
Golan
in
Bashan
with
its grass-lands,
the
town where
the taker
of life
might
be safe,
and Ashtaroth
with
its grass-lands,
two
towns.
\VS{28}And
from
the
tribe
of
Issachar,
Kishion
and
Daberath
with their grass-lands;
\VS{29}Jarmuth
and
En-gannim
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{30}And
from
the
tribe
of
Asher,
Mishal
and
Abdon,
with their grass-lands:
\VS{31}Helkath
and
Rehob
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{32}And
from
the
tribe
of
Naphtali,
Kedesh
in
Galilee
with
its grass-lands,
the
town where
the taker
of life
might be safe,
and
Hammoth-dor
and
Kartan
with their grass-lands,
three
towns.
\VS{33}All
the
towns
of
the
Gershonites
with
their
families
were
thirteen
with
their grass-lands.
\VS{34}And
to
the
rest
of
the
Levites,
that
is,
the
families
of
the
children
of
Merari, they gave
from
the
tribe
of
Zebulun,
Jokneam
and
Kartah
with
their grass-lands;
\VS{35}Dimnah
and
Nahalal
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{36}And
from
the
tribe
of
Reuben,
Bezer
and
Jahaz
with their grass-lands;
\VS{37}Kedemoth
and
Mephaath
with their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{38}And
from
the
tribe
of
Gad,
Ramoth
in
Gilead,
the
town where
the taker
of life
might be safe,
and
Mahanaim
with their grass-lands;
\VS{39}Heshbon
and
Jazer
with
their grass-lands,
four
towns.
\VS{40}All
these
towns
were given
to
the
children
of
Merari
by
their
families,
that
is,
the
rest
of
the
families
of
the
Levites;
and
their heritage
was
twelve
towns.
\VS{41}All
the
towns
of
the
Levites,
among
the heritage
of
the
children
of
Israel,
were
forty-eight
towns
with
their grass-lands.
\VS{42}Every
one
of
these
towns
had grass-lands
round
it.
\VS{43}So
the
Lord
gave
to
Israel
all
the
land
which
he
gave
by
oath
to
their
fathers;
so
it became
their heritage
and
their living-place.
\VS{44}And
the
Lord
gave
them
peace
on
every
side,
as
he
had said
to
their
fathers:
all
those
who
were
against
them
gave
way
before
them,
for
the
Lord
gave
them
all
up
into
their
hands.
\VS{45}The
Lord kept faith
with
the
house
of
Israel
about
all
the
good
which
he
said
he
would
do
for
them,
and
all
his
words
came
true.

\par }\Chap{22}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joshua sent
for
the
Reubenites
and
the
Gadites
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
\VS{2}And
said
to
them,
You
have
kept
all
the
orders
of
Moses,
the Lord's
servant,
and
have
done
everything
I
gave
you
orders
to
do:
\VS{3}You
have
now
been
with
your
brothers
for
a
long
time;
till
this
day
you
have
been doing
the
orders
of
the
Lord
your
God.
\VS{4}And
now
the
Lord
your
God
has
given
your
brothers
rest,
as
he
said:
so
now
you
may go
back
to
your
tents,
to
the
land
of
your heritage,
which
Moses,
the Lord's
servant,
gave
to
you
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan.
\VS{5}Only
take
great
care
to
do
the
orders
and
the
law
which
Moses,
the Lord's
servant,
gave
you;
to
have
love
for
the
Lord
your
God
and
to go
in
all
his
ways;
and
to
keep
his
laws
and
to
be
true
to
him
and
to
be
his
servants
with
all
your
heart
and
with
all
your
soul.
\VS{6}Then
Joshua
gave
them
his
blessing
and
sent
them
away:
and they
went
back
to
their
tents.
\VS{7}Now
to
the
one
half
of
the
tribe
of
Manasseh,
Moses
had
given
a heritage
in
Bashan;
but
to
the
other
half,
Joshua
gave
a heritage
among
their
brothers
on
the
west
side
of
Jordan.
Now
when
Joshua
sent
them
away
to
their
tents,
he
gave
them
his
blessing,
\VS{8}And
said
to
them,
Go
back
with
much
wealth
to
your
tents,
and
with
very
much
cattle,
with
silver
and
gold
and
brass
and
iron,
and
with
a
very
great store
of
clothing;
give
your
brothers
a part
of
the goods taken
in
the war.
\VS{9}So
Reuben
and
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
went
back, parting
from
the
children
of
Israel
at
Shiloh
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
to
go
to
the
land
of
Gilead,
to
the
land
of
their heritage
which
had
been
given
to
them
by
the Lord's
order
to
Moses.
\VS{10}Now
when
they
came
to
the
country
by
Jordan
in
the
land
of
Canaan,
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
put
up
there,
by
Jordan,
a
great
altar, seen
from
far.
\VS{11}And
news
came
to
the
children
of
Israel,
See,
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
have put
up
an
altar
opposite
the
land
of
Canaan,
in
the
country
by
Jordan
on
the
side
which
is Israel's.
\VS{12}Then
all
the meeting
of
the
children
of
Israel,
hearing
this,
came
together
at
Shiloh
to
go
up
against
them
to
war.
\VS{13}And
the
children
of
Israel
sent
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
to
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
to
the
land
of
Gilead,
\VS{14}And
with
him
they sent
ten
chiefs,
one
for
every
tribe
of
the children
of
Israel,
every
one
of
them
the
head
of
his
house
among
the
families
of
Israel.
\VS{15}And
they
came
to
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
to
the
land
of
Gilead,
and
said
to
them,
\VS{16}This
is
what
all
the meeting
of
the
people
of
the
Lord
has
said,
What
is
this wrong
which
you
have
done
against
the
God
of
Israel,
turning
back
this
day
from
the
Lord
and
building
an
altar
for
yourselves,
and
being false
to
the
Lord?
\VS{17}Was
not
the
sin
of Baal-peor great
enough,
from
which
we
are
not clear
even
to
this
day, though
punishment
came
on
the
people
of
the
Lord,
\VS{18}That
now
you
are
turned
back
from
the
Lord?
and,
because
you
are false
to
him
today,
tomorrow
his
wrath
will
be
let loose
on
all
the people
of
Israel.
\VS{19}But
if
the
land
you now
have
is
unclean, come
over
into
the Lord's
land
where
his House
is,
and
take
up
your heritage
among
us:
but
do
not
be false
to
the
Lord
and
to
us
by
building
yourselves
an
altar
in
addition
to
the
altar
of
the
Lord
our
God.
\VS{20}Did
not
Achan,
the
son
of
Zerah,
do
wrong
about
the cursed
thing, causing
wrath
to
come
on
all
the
people
of
Israel?
And
not
on
him
only
came
the
punishment
of death.
\VS{21}Then
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh
said
in
answer
to
the
heads
of
the
families
of
Israel,
\VS{22}God,
even
God
the
Lord,
God,
even
God
the
Lord,
he sees,
and
Israel
will
see —
if
it
is
in pride
or
in sin
against
the
Lord,
\VS{23}That
we
have
made
ourselves
an
altar, being false
to
the
Lord,
keep
us
not safe
from death
this day;
and
if
for
the purpose
of
offering burned
offerings
on
it
and
meal
offerings,
or peace-offerings, let
the
Lord
himself
send punishment
for
it;
\VS{24}And
if
we
have
not,
in fact,
done
this designedly
and
with
purpose,
having
in
our minds
the fear
that
in
time
to
come
your
children
might
say
to
our
children,
What
have
you
to
do
with
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel?
\VS{25}For
the
Lord
has
made
Jordan
a
line
of division
between
us
and
you,
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad;
you
have
no part
in
the
Lord:
so
your
children
will
make
our
children
give
up fearing
the
Lord.
\VS{26}So
we
said,
Let
us
now
make
an
altar
for
ourselves,
not
for burned
offerings
or
for
the
offerings
of beasts:
\VS{27}But
to
be
a
witness
between
us
and
you,
and
between
the future
generations,
that
we
have
the right
of worshipping
the
Lord
with
our burned
offerings
and
our
offerings
of
beasts
and
our peace-offerings;
so
that
your
children
will
not
be able
to
say
to
our
children
in
time
to
come,
You
have
no
part
in
the
Lord.
\VS{28}For
we
said
to
ourselves,
If
they
say
this
to
us
or
to future
generations,
then
we
will
say,
See
this
copy
of
the Lord's
altar
which
our
fathers
made,
not
for burned
offerings
or
offerings
of beasts,
but
for
a
witness
between
us
and
you.
\VS{29}Never let
it
be said
that
we
were false
to
the
Lord,
turning
back
this
day
from
him
and
building
an
altar
for burned
offerings
and
meal
offerings
and
offerings
of beasts,
in addition
to
the
altar
of
the
Lord
our
God
which
is
before
his House.
\VS{30}Then
Phinehas
the
priest
and
the
chiefs
of
the meeting
and
the
heads
of
the
families
of
Israel
who
were
with
him,
hearing
what
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Manasseh
said,
were
pleased.
\VS{31}And
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
said
to
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
and
the
children
of
Manasseh,
Now
we
are
certain
that
the
Lord
is
among
us,
because
you
have
not
done
this wrong
against
the
Lord:
and
you
have kept
us
from falling
into
the
hands
of
the
Lord.
\VS{32}Then
Phinehas,
the
son
of
Eleazar
the
priest,
and
the
chiefs
went
back
from
the
land
of
Gilead,
from
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad,
and
came
to
the
children
of
Israel
in
Canaan
and
gave
them
the news.
\VS{33}And
the
children
of
Israel
were
pleased
about
this;
and
they
gave
praise
to
God,
and
had
no
more
thought
of
going
to
war
against
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
for
the
destruction
of
their
land.
\VS{34}And
the
children
of
Reuben
and
the
children
of
Gad
gave
to
that
altar
the
name
of Ed.
For,
they said,
It
is
a
witness
between
us
that
the
Lord
is
God.

\par }\Chap{23}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after
a
long
time,
when
the
Lord
had
given
Israel
rest
from wars
on
every
side,
and
Joshua
was
old
and
full
of
years,
\VS{2}Joshua
sent
for
all
Israel,
for
their
responsible
men
and
their
chiefs
and
their
judges
and
their overseers,
and
said
to
them,
I
am
old,
and
full
of
years:
\VS{3}You
have
seen
everything
the
Lord
your
God
has
done
to
all
these
nations
because
of
you;
for
it
is
the
Lord
your
God
who
has
been
fighting
for
you.
\VS{4}Now
I
have given
to
you,
as
the
heritage
of
your
tribes,
all
these
nations
which
are
still
in
the
land,
together
with
those
cut
off
by
me,
from
Jordan
as
far
as
the
Great
Sea
on
the
west.
\VS{5}The
Lord
your
God
will send
them
away
by force,
driving
them
out
before
you;
and
you
are
to
take
their
land
for
your heritage,
as
the
Lord
your
God
said
to
you.
\VS{6}So
be
very
strong
to
keep
and
do
whatever
is
recorded
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
Moses,
not
turning
away
from
it
to
the
right
or
to
the
left;
\VS{7}Have
nothing
to
do
with
these
nations
who
still
are living
among
you;
let
not
their
gods
be
named
by
you
or
used
in
your
oaths;
do
not
be
their
servants
or
give
them
worship:
\VS{8}But
be
true
to
the
Lord
your
God
as
you
have
been
till
this
day.
\VS{9}For
the
Lord
has sent
out
from
before
you
nations
great
and
strong:
and
they
have
all
given
way
before
you
till
this
day.
\VS{10}One
man
of
you
is able
to put
to
flight
a
thousand;
for
it
is
the
Lord
your
God
who
is
fighting
for
you,
as
he
has
said
to
you.
\VS{11}So
keep
watch
on
yourselves,
and see
that
you
have
love
for
the
Lord
your
God.
\VS{12}For
if
you
go
back, joining yourselves
to
the
rest
of
these
nations
who
are
still
among
you, getting married
to
them
and living
with
them
and
they
with
you:
\VS{13}Then
you
may
be
certain
that
the
Lord
your
God
will
not
go
on
driving
these
nations
out
from
before
you;
but
they
will
become
a danger
and
a
cause
of sin
to
you,
a
whip
for
your
sides
and
thorns
in
your
eyes,
till
you
are cut
off
from
this
good
land
which
the
Lord
your
God
has
given
you.
\VS{14}Now
I
am
about
to
go
the
way
of
all
the
earth:
and
you
have seen
and
are
certain,
all
of
you,
in
your
hearts
and
souls,
that
in
all
the
good
things
which
the
Lord
said
about
you,
he
has kept faith
with
you;
everything
has
come
true
for
you.
\VS{15}And
you
will
see
that,
as
all
the
good
things
which
the
Lord
your
God undertook
to
do
for
you,
have
come
to
you,
so
the
Lord
will
send
down
on
you
all
the
evil
things
till
he
has
made
your
destruction
complete,
and
you
are cut
off
from
the
good
land
which
the
Lord
your
God
has
given
you.
\VS{16}If
the
agreement
of
the
Lord
your
God,
which
was
given
to
you
by
his
orders,
is
broken,
and
you
become
the
servants
of
other
gods
and
give
them
worship,
then
the
wrath
of
the
Lord
will
be burning
against
you,
and
you
will
quickly
be cut
off
from
the
good
land
which
he
has
given
you.

\par }\Chap{24}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Joshua got
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
together
at
Shechem;
and
he sent
for
the
responsible
men
of
Israel
and
their
chiefs
and
their
judges
and
their overseers;
and
they
took
their
place
before
God.
\VS{2}And
Joshua
said
to
all
the
people,
These
are
the words
of
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel:
In
the
past
your
fathers,
Terah,
the
father
of
Abraham,
and
the
father
of
Nahor,
were
living
on
the
other
side
of
the
River:
and
they
were worshipping
other
gods.
\VS{3}And
I
took
your
father
Abraham
from
the
other
side
of
the
River, guiding
him
through
all
the
land
of
Canaan;
I
made
his
offspring great
in
number,
and
gave
him
Isaac.
\VS{4}And
to
Isaac
I
gave
Jacob
and
Esau:
to
Esau
I
gave
Mount
Seir,
as
his heritage;
but
Jacob
and
his
children
went
down
to
Egypt.
\VS{5}And
I
sent
Moses
and
Aaron, troubling
Egypt
by
all
the signs
I
did
among
them:
and
after
that
I
took
you
out.
\VS{6}I
took
your
fathers
out
of
Egypt:
and
you
came
to
the Red
Sea;
and
the
Egyptians
came
after
your
fathers
to
the Red
Sea,
with
their war-carriages
and
their
horsemen.
\VS{7}And
at
their
cry,
the
Lord
made
it
dark
between
you
and
the
Egyptians,
and
made
the
sea
go
over
them,
covering
them
with
its waters;
your
eyes
have
seen
what
I
did
in
Egypt:
then
for
a
long
time
you
were
living
in
the waste land.
\VS{8}And
I
took
you
into
the
lands
of
the
Amorites
on
the
other
side
of
Jordan;
and
they
made war
on
you,
and
I
gave
them
into
your
hands
and
you
took
their
land;
and
I
sent
destruction
on
them
before
you.
\VS{9}Then
Balak,
the
son
of
Zippor,
king
of
Moab,
went
up
to war
against
Israel;
and
he
sent
for
Balaam,
the
son
of
Beor,
to
put
a
curse
on
you:
\VS{10}But
I
did
not
give ear
to
Balaam;
and
so
he went
on
blessing
you;
and
I kept
you safe
from
him.
\VS{11}Then
you
went
over
Jordan
and
came
to
Jericho:
and
the
men
of
Jericho
made war
on
you,
the
Amorites
and
the
Perizzites
and
the
Canaanites
and
the
Hittites
and
the
Girgashites
and
the
Hivites
and
the
Jebusites:
and
I
gave
them
up
into
your
hands.
\VS{12}And
I
sent
the
hornet
before
you,
driving
out
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites
before
you,
not
with
your
sword
and
your
bow.
\VS{13}And
I
gave
you
a
land
on
which
you
had done
no
work,
and
towns
not
of
your
building,
and
you
are
now
living
in
them;
and
your
food
comes
from vine-gardens
and olive-gardens
not
of
your planting.
\VS{14}So
now,
go
in
fear
of
the
Lord,
and
be
his
servants
with
true hearts:
put
away
the
gods worshipped
by
your
fathers
across
the
River
and
in
Egypt,
and
be
servants
of
the
Lord.
\VS{15}And
if
it
seems
evil
to
you
to
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord,
make
the decision
this
day
whose
servants
you
will
be:
of
the
gods
whose
servants
your
fathers
were
across
the
River,
or
of
the
gods
of
the
Amorites
in
whose
land
you
are
living:
but
I
and
my
house
will
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord.
\VS{16}Then
the
people
in
answer
said, Never
will we
give
up
the
Lord
to
be
the
servants
of
other
gods;
\VS{17}For
it
is
the
Lord
our
God
who
has
taken
us
and
our
fathers
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
out
of
the prison-house,
and
who
did
all
those
great
signs
before
our
eyes,
and
kept
us safe
on
all
our journeys,
and
among
all
the
peoples
through
whom
we
went:
\VS{18}And
the
Lord sent
out
from
before
us
all
the
peoples,
the
Amorites
living
in
the
land:
so
we
will
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord,
for
he
is
our
God.
\VS{19}And
Joshua
said
to
the
people,
You
are
not
able
to
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord,
for
he
is
a
holy
God,
a
God
who
will
not
let
his honour
be
given
to
another:
he
will
have
no
mercy
on
your wrongdoing
or
your
sins.
\VS{20}If
you
are
turned
away
from
the
Lord
and
become
the
servants
of
strange
gods,
then
turning against
you
he
will
do
you
evil, cutting
you
off,
after
he
has
done
you
good.
\VS{21}And
the
people
said
to
Joshua,
No!
But
we
will
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord.
\VS{22}And
Joshua
said
to
the
people,
You
are
witnesses
against
yourselves
that
you
have
made
the decision
to
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord.
And
they
said,
We
are
witnesses.
\VS{23}Then,
he
said,
put
away
the
strange
gods
among
you,
turning
your
hearts
to
the
Lord,
the
God
of
Israel.
\VS{24}And
the
people
said
to
Joshua,
We
will
be
the
servants
of
the
Lord
our
God,
and
we
will
give ear
to
his
voice.
\VS{25}So
Joshua
made
an
agreement
with
the
people
that
day,
and
gave
them
a
rule
and
a law
in
Shechem.
\VS{26}And
Joshua
put
these
words
on
record,
writing
them
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
God;
and
he
took
a
great
stone,
and
put
it
up
there
under
the oak-tree
which
was
in
the
holy
place
of
the
Lord.
\VS{27}And
Joshua
said
to
all
the
people,
See
now,
this
stone
is
to
be
a
witness
against
us;
for
all
the
words
of
the
Lord
have
been
said
to
us
in
its
hearing:
so
it
will
be
a
witness
against
you
if
you
are false
to
the
Lord
your
God.
\VS{28}Then
Joshua
let
the
people
go
away,
every
man
to
his
heritage.
\VS{29}Now
after
these
things,
the
death
of
Joshua,
the
son
of
Nun,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
took
place,
he
being
then
a
hundred
and
ten
years
old.
\VS{30}And
they put
his body
in
the earth
in
the
land
of
his
heritage
in Timnath-serah,
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim,
to
the
north
of
Mount
Gaash.
\VS{31}And
Israel
was
true
to
the
Lord
all
the
days
of
Joshua,
and
all
the
days
of
the
older
men
who
were still living
after Joshua's death,
and
had seen
what
the
Lord
had
done
for
Israel.
\VS{32}And
the
bones
of
Joseph,
which
the
children
of
Israel
had
taken
up
from
Egypt,
they
put
in
the
earth
in
Shechem,
in
the
property
which
Jacob
had
got
from
the
sons
of
Hamor,
the
father
of
Shechem,
for
a
hundred shekels:
and
they
became
the
heritage
of
the
children
of
Joseph.
\VS{33}Then
the
death
of
Eleazar,
the
son
of
Aaron,
took
place;
and
his
body
was
put
in
the earth
in
the
hill
of
Phinehas
his
son,
which
had
been
given
to
him
in
the hill-country
of
Ephraim.
