Then came in Amalek, - and fought with Israel, in Rephidim. And Moses said unto Joshua - Choose for us men, and go forth, fight with Amalek, - to-morrow, am, I, stationing myself upon the top of the hill, with the staff of God in my hand. read more. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, to fight with Amalek, - and Moses, Aaron and Hur, went up to the top of the hill. And it shall be when Moses shall lift on high his hands, then shall Israel prevail, but when he shall let down his hands, then shall Amalek prevail. But, the hands of Moses, were weary, so they took a stone, and put under him, and he sat thereupon, - and, Aaron and Hur, upheld his hands - on this side, one and on that side, one, and so his hands became steady, until the going in of the sun. So Joshua overthrew Amalek and his people, with the edge of the sword. Then said Yahweh unto Moses - Write this as a remembrancer in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Jeshua - that I will, wipe out, the remembrance of Amalek, from under the heavens. And Moses built an altar, - and called the name thereof, Yahweh-nissi. And he said - Because of a hand against the throne of Yah, Yahweh hath war with Amalek, - from generation to generation!

And Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, - so he said unto Moses - The noise of war, in the camp!

Thus Yahweh used to speak unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, - and when he returned unto the camp, his attendant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, moved not from the midst of the tent.

Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;

Of the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea, son of Nun;

These, are the names of the men, whom Moses sent to spy out the land, - but Moses called Hoshea son of Nun, Joshua.

But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of them who spied out the land, rent their clothes; and spake unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel, saying, - As for the land through which we passed to spy it out, Good, is the land, exceedingly, read more. If Yahweh delight in us, then will he bring us into this and, and give it unto us, - A land which doth flow with milk and honey. Only against Yahweh, do not rebel. Do not, ye, fear the people of the land, For our food, they are, - Their shade hath departed, from over them. And Yahweh is with us, Do not fear them!

none of you, shall enter into the land, as to which I uplifted my hand to give you an abode therein, - save Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun:

But, Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh! remained alive - of those men who went to spy out the land.

So Moses came in and spake all the words of this Song in the hearing of the people, - he and Hoshea son of Nun.

Then did Joshua son of Nun, send out from The Acacias, two men to spy out silently, saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. So they came, and entered the house of a harlot, whose name was Rahab, and lay there. And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, - Lo! men, have come in hither to-night of the sons of Israel to search out the land. read more. So the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, - Bring forth the men that are come in unto thee who have entered thy house, for, to search out all the land, have they come. And the woman took the two men and hid them, - and said: Even so, the men did come in unto me, but I knew not from whence they were; and it came to pass, as the gate was about to be shut in the darkness, that, the men, went out, I know not whither the men went, - pursue them quickly for ye shall overtake them. But, she, had taken them up to the roof, - and concealed them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order for herself upon the roof. So, the men, pursued them by way of the Jordan unto the fords, - the gate being shut as soon as they who pursued them had gone forth. And, ere yet they slept, she, went up unto them, upon the roof; and said unto the men, I know that Yahweh hath given unto you the land, - and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before you. For we have heard how Yahweh, dried up, the waters of the Red Sea from before you, when ye came forth out of Egypt, - and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan unto Sihon and unto Og, whom ye devoted to destruction;

Now, therefore I pray you, swear unto me by Yahweh, since I have dealt with you in lovingkindness, that, ye also, will deal with the house of my father in lovingkindness, and will give me a token of faithfulness, and will save alive my father and my mother, and my brethren and my sisters, and all that they have, - and will deliver our souls from death. read more. And the men said unto her, Our souls in your stead unto death, if ye utter not this our business, - so shall it be, when Yahweh shall give us the land, that we will deal with thee in lovingkindness and in faithfulness. And she let them down with a cord through the window, - for, her house, was within the wall of the rampart, and, within the rampart, she was dwelling. And she said unto them - To the mountain, get you, lest the pursuers, fall in, with you, - and hide yourselves there, three days until the pursuers return, and, afterwards, shall ye go your way. And the men said unto her, - Free, will we be from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear: Lo! when we are coming into the land, this cord of crimson thread, must thou bind in the window by which thou didst let us down, and, thy father and thy mother and thy brethren and all the household of thy father, must thou gather together unto thee unto the house. And it shall be, whosoever shall go forth out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood, shall be on his own head and, we, shall be free, - but, whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood, shall be on our heads, if a, hand, be upon him. Or, if thou utter this our business, then shall we be free from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear. And she said - According to your words, so, shall it be. Thus sent she them away and they departed, - and she bound the crimson cord in the window. And they went and came into the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned, - so the pursuers, made search, throughout all the way, but found them not. And the two men returned and came down out of the mountain, and crossed over and came unto Joshua, son of Nun, - and recounted to him all that had befallen them; and they said unto Joshua, Yahweh, hath delivered, into our hand all the land, - moreover also all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before us.

So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, - and they lodged there before they passed over. And it came to pass, after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp, read more. and commanded the people saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and, the priests the Levites, bearing it, ye also, shall break up out of your place, and come after it. Yet shall there be, a distance, between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure, - do not come near unto it that ye may get to know the way by which ye must go, for ye have not passed this way, heretofore. Then said Joshua unto the people, Hallow yourselves, - for, to-morrow, will Yahweh do in your midst, wonderful things. And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take ye up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant, and went on before the people. Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel, - who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will be with thee. Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, - When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand. Then said Joshua, unto the sons of Israel, - Draw near hither, and hear ye the words of Yahweh your God. And Joshua said, Hereby, shall ye know, that a Living GOD is in your midst, - and that he will, certainly dispossess, from before you, the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Hivite and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite. Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan. Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, - one man severally for each tribe; and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, - and shall stand in one mound. And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan, - with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant before the people, then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters, - the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days of harvest, that the waters which were coming down from above, stood - rose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failed - were cut off, - and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho. And the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, - while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.

And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying: Take unto you, from among the people, twelve men, one man severally from each tribe; read more. and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; - and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight. So Joshua called unto the twelve men whom he had made ready, from among the sons of Israel, - one man severally out of each tribe; and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, - and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel: that this may be a sign in your midst, - for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you? Then shall ye say unto them - That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding. And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, - and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, - and they have remained there until this day. Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, - the people therefore hasted, and passed over. And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, - then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.

And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, - then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.

about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.

So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, - and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel. At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, - and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a second time.

At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, - and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a second time.

Now, this, is the cause why Joshua did circumcise, - all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the desert, by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt. For, though all the people who came forth had been circumcised, yet, all the people who were born in the desert by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt, had they not circumcised. read more. Because, for forty years, did the sons of Israel journey in the desert, until all the nation who were men of war, who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, - unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not let them see the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey. Their sons, therefore, whom he had raised up in their stead, them, did Joshua circumcise, - for, uncircumcised, they were, in that they had not circumcised them by the way.

Thus then the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal, - and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the waste plains of Jericho. And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow of the passover, unleavened cakes and parched ears of corn, - on this selfsame day. read more. And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the sons of Israel manna any more, - so they did eat of the yield of the land of Canaan throughout that year. And it came to pass, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand, - so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for our adversaries?

And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, - and his fame was in all the land.

But the sons of Israel had committed an act of unfaithfulness in respect of what was devoted, - for Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah had taken of what was devoted, and the anger of Yahweh had kindled against the sons of Israel. And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai which was beside Beth-aven on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them saying, Go up and spy out the land. So the men went up, and spied out Ai. read more. And they returned unto Joshua and said unto him - Let not all the people go up, about two thousand men or three thousand men, can go up and smite Ai, - do not weary the whole people to go thither, for, but few, they are. There went up thither of the people therefore, about three thousand men, - but they fled before the men of Ai. And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men, and pursued them before the gate as far as the Shebarim, and smote them on the slope, - so that the heart of the people melted and became as water. Then Joshua rent his clothes and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, - and they lifted up dust upon their heads. And Joshua said - Alas! My Lord Yahweh! Wherefore hast thou, brought, this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? Would then we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan! Oh My Lord, - what shall I say, after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies? Only let the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and they will surround us, and cut off our name out of the earth, - what then wilt thou do for thy great name? And Yahweh said unto Joshua - Get thee up! wherefore is it that thou art lying upon thy face? Israel hath sinned, yea moreover they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, - yea moreover they have taken of what was devoted, yea moreover they have stolen, yea moreover they have dissembled, yea moreover they have put it among their own goods. Therefore cannot the sons of Israel stand before their enemies, their back, do they turn before their enemies, because they have become devoted, - I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the devoted thing out of your midst. Up! hallow the people, and thou shalt say, Hallow yourselves by to-morrow, - for, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel: A devoted thing, is in the midst of thee O Israel, Thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye have put away the devoted thing out of your midst. Therefore shall ye be brought near in the morning by your tribes, - and it shall be that - the tribe which Yahweh shall seize, shall come near, by families, and the family which Yahweh shall seize, shall come near, by households, and the household which Yahweh shall seize, shall come near, man by man; and it shall be, that - He that is seized with the devoted thing, shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, - because he hath transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he hath wrought impiety in Israel. So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, - and, the tribe of Judah, was seized; and he brought near the family of Judah, and, the family of the Zarhites, was seized, - and he brought near the family of the Zarhites, man by man, and, Zabdi, was seized; and he brought near his household, man by man, - and, Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was seized. And Joshua said unto Achan - My son give I pray thee glory unto Yahweh God of Israel and make to him confession, - and tell me I pray thee what thou hast done, do not hide it from me. And Achan answered Joshua and said, - Of a truth, I, have sinned against Yahweh God of Israel, and, thus and thus, have I done: When I saw among the spoil a certain goodly mantle of Babylonia and two hundred shekels of silver and a certain wedge of gold - fifty shekels the weight thereof, then I coveted them, then I took them, - and, there they are, hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent, - and, there it was, hid in his tent, and, the silver, under it. And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, - and poured them out before Yahweh. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan - son of Zerah, and the silver and the mantle and the wedge of gold, and his sons and his daughters, and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent, and all that he had, and brought them up the valley of Achor. And Joshua said - Why hast thou troubled us? Yahweh, will trouble thee, this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them up with fire, and covered them with stones; yea they raised over him a great heap of stones which remaineth until this day. And Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger, - for which cause, hath the name of that place been called - The Valley of Achor, until this day.

Then said Yahweh unto Joshua - Do not fear nor be dismayed, take with thee all the army, and arise, go up to Ai, - see! I have given into thy hand, the king of Ai and his people, and his city, and his land; so shalt thou do unto Ai and to her king, as thou didst unto Jericho unto her king, save only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof, shall ye take as your own prey, - set thee an ambush for the city, behind it. read more. So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai, - and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth by night. And he commanded them, saying - See! ye, shall be lying in ambush against the city, behind the city, do not go very far from the city, - so shall ye all be ready. But, I, and all the people who are with me, will draw near unto the city, - and it shall be, when they come out to meet us, as at the first, then will we flee before them; so will they come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, Fleeing before us, as at the first! therefore will we flee before them. Then, ye, shall rise up out of the ambush, and take possession of the city, - and Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand. And it shall be, when ye have seized the city, then shall ye burn the city with fire, according to the word of Yahweh, shall ye do, - see! I have commanded you. So Joshua sent them forth, and they went into ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai, - but Joshua lodged that night in the midst of the people. And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, - and went up - he and the elders of Israel, before the people, to Ai. And, all the people of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came in, right before the city, - and pitched on the north of Ai, with, a valley, between them and Ai. And he took about five thousand men, - and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city. And, when the people had set all the host that was on the north of the city, with the rear thereof on the west of the city, then went Joshua, during the night, into the midst of the valley. And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted, and rose up early, and the men of the city came out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at an appointed time, before the waste plain, - he not knowing that there was an ambush lying in wait for him, behind the city. So then Joshua and all Israel suffered themselves to be smitten before them, - and fled, by the way of the wilderness; and all the people who were in the city were called out to pursue them, - and they pursued Joshua, and so were drawn out away from the city. And there remained not a man, in Ai or Bethel, who had not gone out after Israel, - and they left the city, open, and pursued Israel. Then said Yahweh unto Joshua - Stretch out with the javelin which is in thy hand, towards Ai, for, into thy hand, will I deliver it. So Joshua stretched out with the javelin which was in his hand, towards the city. And, the ambush, rose up quickly, out of their place, and ran, when he stretched out his hand, and entered the city, and captured it, - and hasted, and set the city on fire. And the men of Ai turned behind them, and looked, and lo! the smoke of the city had risen up towards the heavens, and there was in them no strength, to flee this way or that way, - moreover, the people that were fleeing to the wilderness, turned back upon the pursuers. Yea, when, Joshua and all Israel, saw that the ambush had captured the city, and that the smoke of the city had risen up, then returned they, and smote the men of Ai. And, the others, came forth out of the city to meet them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side, - and they smote them, until there was left them none to remain or to escape. And, the king of Ai, they caught alive, - and brought him near unto Joshua. And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness whither they had pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, then all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. And so it was, that all who fell that day, both of men and of women, were twelve thousand, - all people of Ai. Now, Joshua, drew not back his hand which he had stretched out with the javelin, - until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. Nevertheless, the cattle and the spoil of that city, Israel took as their own prey, - according to the word of Yahweh, which he commanded Joshua. So then Joshua burned Ai, - and made of it an age-abiding heap - a desolation, as it remaineth until this day. And, the king of Ai, hanged he on a tree until eventide, - but, at the going in of the sun, Joshua gave command and they took down his dead body from the tree, and cast it in at the opening of the gate of the city, and raised up over it a great heap of stones - which remaineth until this day. Than, built Joshua, an altar, unto Yahweh, God of Israel, - in Mount Ebal: as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, whereon had not been wielded any tool of iron, - and they caused to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, and sacrificed peace-offerings. Then wrote he there, upon the stones, a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the sons of Israel. And, all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, were standing on this side and on that side of the ark, before the priests the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as well the sojourner as the home-born, half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal, - as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded to bless the sons of Israel, first of all. And, after that, read he all the words of the law, the blessing and the cursing, - according to all that was written in the scroll of the law. Them was not a word of all that Moses commanded, - which Joshua read not before all the convocation of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the sojourner who was going on in their midst.

And it came to pass, when they heard, - namely, all the kings who were over the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland, and in all the coast of the great sea, over against the Lebanon, - the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; -

Now, the inhabitants of Gibeon, heard that which Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto Ai; they, however, acted craftily, and went and started, - and took old sacks for their asses, and leathern wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; read more. and sandals, old and patched, upon their feet, and worn-out mantles upon them, - and, all the bread of their provision, was dry and broken. So they took their journey unto Joshua, unto the camp, at Gilgal, - and said unto him, and unto the men of Israel, From a far country, are we come, Now, therefore, solemnise with us a covenant. And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, - Peradventure, in our midst, ye are dwelling, how then can we solemnise with you a covenant? And they said unto Joshua: Thy servants, we are. And Joshua said unto them: Who, are ye? And, from whence, come ye?

And they said unto Joshua: Thy servants, we are. And Joshua said unto them: Who, are ye? And, from whence, come ye? And they said unto him - From a very far country, have thy servants come, because of the name of Yahweh thy God, - because we had heard his fame, and all that he had done in Egypt;

This our bread, took we, hot, for our provision, out of our houses, on the day we came forth to journey unto you, - but, now, lo! it is dry, yea it is broken;

And Joshua made peace with them, and solemnised with them a covenant to let them live, - and the princes of the assembly, entered into an oath with them.

And it came to pass, when Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and devoted it to destruction, as he had done unto Jericho and her king, so, had he done unto Ai and her king, - and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and had come into their midst, then feared they greatly, because Gibeon was, a great city, as one of the royal cities, - and because, it, was greater than Ai, and, all the men thereof, were mighty: read more. therefore sent Adonizedec, king of Jerusalem, unto Hoham, king of Hebron, and unto Piram, king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia, king of Lachish, and unto Debir, king of Eglon, saying: Come up unto me and help me, that we may smite Gibeon, - for it hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel. So they gathered themselves together and came up, even the five kings of the Amorites - the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, - they, and all their hosts, - and encamped near Gibeon, and made war against it. So the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not withhold thy hand from thy servants, - Come up unto us quickly, and save us, and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country, are gathered together against us. So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, even all the mighty men of valour.

So then Joshua came in unto them, suddenly, - all the night, came he up, from Gilgal. And Yahweh confused them before Israel, and smote them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, - and chased them along the way that goeth up Beth-horon, and smote them as far as Azekah and as far as Makkedah. read more. And it came to pass, when they fled from before Israel, they, being on the slope of Beth-horon, that, Yahweh, cast down upon them great stones out of the heavens, as far as Azekah, and they died, - more, were they who died by the hailstones, than they whom the sons of Israel slew with the sword. Then, spake Joshua unto Yahweh, on the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, - yea he said, in the presence of Israel - Thou Sun! in Gibeon, be still, and thou Moon! in the vale of Aijalon.

Then, spake Joshua unto Yahweh, on the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, - yea he said, in the presence of Israel - Thou Sun! in Gibeon, be still, and thou Moon! in the vale of Aijalon.

So Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal. So these five kings fled, - and hid themselves in a cave, at Makkedah. read more. And it was told Joshua, saying, - The five kings are found, hid in a cave at Makkedah. And Joshua said, Roll ye great stones against the mouth of the cave, - and set over it men, to watch them; but do not, ye, stay, chase after your enemies, so shall ye attack them in the rear, - do not suffer them to enter into their cities, for Yahweh your God hath delivered them into your hand. And it came to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great slaughter, until they were spent, then did, the remainder that were left of them, enter into the fortified cities. And all the people returned unto the camp, unto Joshua at Makkedah, in peace, - none sharpened his tongue at any man of the sons of Israel. Then said Joshua, Open ye the mouth of the cave, - and bring out unto me, these five kings, out of the cave. And they did so, and brought out unto him, these five kings, out of the cave, - namely, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. And it came to pass, when they brought out these kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war who had been with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. So they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

And Joshua smote them after this, and put them to death, and hanged them upon five trees, - and they remained hung on the trees, until the evening,

And Joshua captured, Makkedah, on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, the king thereof, devoted he to destruction, them and all the souls that were therein, he left no survivor, - but did unto the king of Makkedah, as he had done unto the king of Jericho. And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah unto Libnah, - and fought against Libnah; read more. and Yahweh delivered, it also, into the hand of Israel, with the king thereof, and he smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, he left therein no survivor, - but did unto the king thereof, as he had done unto the king of Jericho. And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah unto Lachish, - and encamped against it, and fought against it; and Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, with all the souls that were therein, - according to all that he had done unto Libnah. Then, came up Horam, king of Gezer, to help Lachish, - and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had not left him a survivor. And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish unto Eglon, - and they encamped against it, and fought against it; and captured it on the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and, all the souls that were therein, on that day, devoted he to destruction, - according to all that he had done to Lachish. And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon unto Hebron, - and they fought against it; and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, with all the souls that were therein - he left not a survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon, - he devoted it to destruction, and all the souls that were therein. Then Joshua turned back, and all Israel with him, unto Debir, - and fought against it; and captured it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted to destruction every soul that was therein, he left not a survivor, - as he had done unto Hebron, so, did he unto Debir, and unto the king thereof, as also he had done unto Libnah, and unto her king. So Joshua smote all the land - the hill country, and the south, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings, he left not a survivor, - but, every breathing thing, devoted he to destruction, as Yahweh, God of Israel, had commanded. Yea Joshua smote them, from Kadesh-barnea, even as far as Gaza, - and all the land of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon. Yea, all these kings and their land, did Joshua capture at one time, - because, Yahweh, God of Israel, fought for Israel. And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp at Gilgal.

And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard, that he sent unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph; and unto the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the waste plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, - and in the heights of Dor, on the west: read more. the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite and the Jebusite, in the hill country, - and the Hivite, under Hermon, in the land of Mizpah; and they came out - they, and all their hosts with them, much people, like the sand that is upon the seashore for multitude, - with horses and chariots very many. And, when all these kings were gathered together, they came in, and encamped as one man, at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel. Then said Yahweh unto Joshua - Do not fear because of them, for, to-morrow, about this time, am I going to deliver up all of them, slain, before Israel, - their horses, shalt thou ham-string, and, their chariots, shalt thou burn up with fire. So Joshua, and all the army with him, came in upon them, by the waters of Merom, suddenly, and fell upon them. And Yahweh delivered them up into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them as far as great Zidon, and as far as Misrephoth-maim, and as far as the valley of Mizpeh, eastward, - yea they smote them until they left them not a survivor. And Joshua did unto them, as Yahweh had said unto him, - their horses, he ham-strung, and, their chariots, burned he up with fire. Then Joshua turned back, at that time, and captured Hazor, and, the king thereof, smote he with the sword, - for, Hazor, aforetime, was the head of all these kingdoms. And they smote all the souls that were therein, with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, there was left no breathing thing, - and, Hazor, burned he up with fire. And, all the cities of these kings, and all the kings thereof, did Joshua capture, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, - as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded. Yet, none of the cities that were still standing upon their mound, did Israel burn, none but Hazor alone, did Joshua burn. But, all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, did the sons of Israel take as their prey, - nevertheless, all the human beings, smote they with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, they left remaining no breathing thing. As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so, Moses commanded Joshua, and, so, Joshua, did, he set aside nothing of all that Yahweh commanded Moses. So Joshua took all this land - the hill country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the waste plain, - and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland thereof: from Mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even as far as Baal-gad, in the valley of the Lebanon, under Mount Hermon, - and, all their kings, he captured, and smote them, and put them to death. Many days, did Joshua, with all these kings, make war. There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel, save the Hivites dwelling in Gibeon, - the whole, took they in battle. For, from Yahweh, came it to pass, that their heart was emboldened to come out to war with Israel, that he might devote them to destruction, that they might find no favour, - but that he might destroy them, - as Yahweh commanded Moses. And Joshua came in, at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country - from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel, - with their cities, did Joshua devote them to destruction.

And Joshua came in, at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country - from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel, - with their cities, did Joshua devote them to destruction. There was left remaining none of the Anakim, in the land of the sons of Israel, - save only, in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain. read more. So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their portions by their tribes, - and, the land, had rest from war.

Now, Joshua, was old, advanced in days, - so then Yahweh said unto him - Thou, art old, advanced in days, and, much the larger part of the land, remaineth to be possessed. This, is the land that remaineth, - all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshuri; read more. from the Shihor which faceth Egypt, even as far as the boundary of Ekron, northward, to the Canaanites, is it counted, - five princes of Philistines, the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, also the Avvim on the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which belongeth to the Zidonians, as far as Aphek, - as far as the boundary of the Amorites; and the land of the Gebalites, and all the Lebanon, to the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad, under Mount Hermon, - as far as the entering in of Hamath: all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim - all the Zidonians, I myself, will dispossess them from before the sons of Israel, - nevertheless, assign thou it by lot unto Israel, for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. Now, therefore, apportion this land as an inheritance, unto the nine tribes, - and the half tribe of Manasseh. With them, the, Reubenites and the Gadites, received their inheritance, - which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan, eastward, as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them: from Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, and the city, which is in the midst of the ravine, and all the table-land of Medeba, as far as Dibon; and all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, - as far as the boundary of the sons of Ammon; and Gilead, and the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan, as far as Salecah; all the kingdom of Og, in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, - he, being left of the remnant of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them; the sons of Israel, however, did not dispossess, the Geshurites or the Maacathites, - but Geshur and Maacath have remained in the midst of Israel until this day. Howbeit, unto the tribe of Levi, gave he no inheritance, - the altar-flames of Yahweh God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spake unto him. Thus then Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families; and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table-land by Medeba; Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, - Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon; and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath; and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale; and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth; and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, - whom Moses smote - with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land; Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain. And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof. And Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families; and their boundary was - Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, - as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah; and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh, and Botonim, - and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary of Debir; and in the valley - Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district, - as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families, - the cities and the villages thereof. And Moses gave an inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh, - so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh by their families; and their boundary was - from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three-score cities; and, half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons of Machir by their families. These, are the portions which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, - over the Jordan by Jericho eastward.

And, these, are the inheritances which the sons of Israel received in the land of Canaan, - which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the ancestral heads of the tribes of the sons of Israel gave them to inherit. By lot, was their inheritance divided, - as Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses, unto the nine tribes and unto the half tribe. read more. For Moses had given the two tribes and the half tribe their inheritance over the Jordan, - but, unto the Levites, gave he no inheritance in their midst; for the sons of Joseph became two tribes: Manasseh and Ephraim, - so they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, save only cities to dwell in, with the pasture lands thereof, for their cattle and for their substance. As Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel, - when they apportioned the land. Then came near the sons of Judah unto Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, said unto him, - Thou, knowest the word which Yahweh spake unto Moses the man of God in my behalf and in thine in Kadesh-barnea. Forty years old, was I when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, - so I brought him back word, as was in my heart. But, my brethren who had been up with me, made the heart of the people melt, - whereas, I, wholly followed Yahweh my God. So then Moses sware on that day saying, Surely, the land on which thy foot hath trodden, unto thee, shall belong, for an inheritance, and unto thy sons, unto times age-abiding, - because thou hast wholly followed Yahweh my God. Now, therefore lo! Yahweh hath kept me alive as he spake these forty and five years from the time Yahweh spake this word unto Moses, while Israel journeyed in the desert. Now, therefore lo! I - to-day, am eighty and five years old: I remain, to-day, as courageous as on the day when Moses sent me, as my strength was then, so also my strength is now, - for war, both to go out and to come in. Now, therefore, give me this mountain, whereof Yahweh spake, on that day, - for, thou thyself, didst hear, on that day, that, Anakim, were there, and great cities fortified, if so be Yahweh be with me, then shall I dispossess them, as spake Yahweh.

Now, therefore, give me this mountain, whereof Yahweh spake, on that day, - for, thou thyself, didst hear, on that day, that, Anakim, were there, and great cities fortified, if so be Yahweh be with me, then shall I dispossess them, as spake Yahweh. So Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, for an inheritance. read more. For this cause, hath Hebron belonged unto Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite, for an inheritance, unto this day, - because he wholly followed Yahweh, God of Israel. Now, the name of Hebron, was formerly, City of Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim, was he. And, the land, had rest from war.

So then the boundary of the tribe of the sons of Judah, by their families, - reached unto the boundary of Edom, the desert of Zin southward, on the extreme south; so their south boundary beginneth at the end of the Salt Sea, - from the bay that turneth to the south; read more. and goeth forth on the south of the cliffs of Akrabbim, and crosseth over to Zin, and goeth up on the south of Kadesh-barnea, - and passeth over by Hezron, and goeth up to Addar, and turneth round to Karka; and passeth over to Azmon, and goeth forth at the ravine of Egypt, and so the extensions of the boundary are to the sea. This, shall be your south boundary. And, a boundary eastward, is the Salt Sea, as far as the end of the Jordan. And, the boundary on the north side, is from the bay of the sea, from the end of the Jordan. And the boundary goeth up Beth-hoglah, and passeth over, on the north, by Beth-arabah, - and the boundary goeth up by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben; and the boundary goeth up towards Debir, out of the vale of Achor, then northward, turning unto Gilgal, which is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the ravine, - then the boundary passeth over unto the waters of En-shemesh, and so the extensions thereof are unto En-rogel: then ascendeth the boundary by the valley of the son of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite, on the south, the same, is Jerusalem, - and the boundary goeth up unto the top of the mountain which faceth the valley of Hinnom, to the west, which is at the end of the Vale of Giants, northwards; and the boundary turneth round, from the top of the mountain, unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and goeth out unto the cities of Mount Ephron, - then the boundary turneth round to Baalah, the same, is Kiriath-jearim; then the boundary goeth round from Baalah westward, unto Mount Seir, and passeth over unto the slope of Mount Yearim, on the north, the same, is Chesalon, - and descendeth Bethshemesh, and passeth over Timnah; then the boundary goeth forth unto the side of Ekron, northward, then the boundary turneth round towards Shikkeron, and crosseth over Mount Baalah, and goeth out at Jabneel, - and the extensions of the boundary are to the sea. And, as a west boundary, are the great sea and coast. This, is the boundary of the sons of Judah, round about, by their families.

And, as a west boundary, are the great sea and coast. This, is the boundary of the sons of Judah, round about, by their families. And, to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, gave he a portion, in the midst of the sons of Judah, at the bidding of Yahweh, by Joshua, - even the City of Arba, father of Anak, the same, is Hebron. read more. And Caleb dispossessed from thence, the three sons of Anak, - Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.

And Caleb dispossessed from thence, the three sons of Anak, - Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak. And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir, - now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath-sepher.

And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir, - now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath-sepher.

And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir, - now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath-sepher. Then said Caleb, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah, my daughter, to wife.

Then said Caleb, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah, my daughter, to wife. And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it, - so he gave unto him Achsah, his daughter, to wife.

And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it, - so he gave unto him Achsah, his daughter, to wife. And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her - What aileth thee?

And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her - What aileth thee? And she said - Give me a present, for, dry land, hast thou given me, therefore must thou give me, pools of water. So he gave her upper pools and lower pools.

And she said - Give me a present, for, dry land, hast thou given me, therefore must thou give me, pools of water. So he gave her upper pools and lower pools. This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah, by their families. read more. And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the sons of Judah, towards the boundary of Edom in the south, were, - Kabzeel and Eder, and Jagur, and Kinah and Dimonah, and Adadah, - and Kedesh and Hazor, and Ithnan, Ziph and Talem, and Bealoth, and Hazor-hadattah and Kerioth-hezron, the same, is Hazor; Amam and Shema, and Moladah, and Hazar-gaddah and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet. and Hazarshual and Beer-sheba, with the hamlets thereof, Baalah and Iyyim, and Ezem, and Eltolad and Chesil, and Hormah, and Ziklag and Madmannah, and Sansannah, and Lebaoth and Shilhim, and En-rimmon, - all the cities are twenty-nine, with their villages. In the lowland, - Eshtaol and Zorah, and Ashnah, and Zanoah and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam; Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah; and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim, - fourteen cities, with their villages.

Libnah and Ether, and Ashan, and Iphtah and Ashnah, and Nezib, and Keilah and Achzib, and Mareshah, - nine cities, with their villages. Ekron with her towns, and her villages. From Ekron, even unto the sea, - all that were by the side of Ashdod with their villages. Ashdod, her towns and her villages.

In the desert, - Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah, and Nibshan and the City of Salt, and En-gedi, - six cities, with their villages. But, as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not dispossess them, - so the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Judah, in Jerusalem, until this day.

Then came out the lot, for the sons of Joseph, from the Jordan by Jericho, at the waters of Jericho, eastward, - the desert, going up from Jericho, through the hill country to Bethel; and it goeth out from Bethel towards Luz, - and passeth over unto the boundary of the Archites at Ataroth; read more. and descendeth westward, unto the boundary of the Japhletites, as far as the boundary of Bethhoron the nether, and as far as Gezer, - and the extensions thereof are to the sea. So the sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance. And the boundary of the sons of Ephraim, by their families, was, - yea the boundary of their inheritance on the east, was Ataroth-addar, as far as Beth-horon the upper; and the boundary goeth out westward at Michmethath, on the north, then the boundary bendeth round easward, to Taanath-shiloh, - and passeth by it on the east to Janoah; and goeth down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, - and toucheth upon Jericho, and goeth out at the Jordan. From Tappuah, runneth the boundary along westward, to the ravine of Kanah, and the extensions thereof are to the sea, - this, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, by their families; together with the cities which were separated for the sons of Ephraim, in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, - all the cities, with their villages.

And the lot for the tribe of Manasseh was, for, he, was the firstborn of Joseph, - as for Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because, he, was a man of war, therefore had he Gilead and Bashan.

And the lot for the tribe of Manasseh was, for, he, was the firstborn of Joseph, - as for Machir, the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because, he, was a man of war, therefore had he Gilead and Bashan.

Then spake the sons of Joseph unto Joshua, saying, - Why hast thou given me, as an inheritance, but one lot and one portion, seeing that, I, am a numerous people, because hitherto hath Yahweh blessed me.

Then spake the sons of Joseph unto Joshua, saying, - Why hast thou given me, as an inheritance, but one lot and one portion, seeing that, I, am a numerous people, because hitherto hath Yahweh blessed me. And Joshua said unto them: If, a numerous people, thou art, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there, in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, - seeing that, too narrow for thee, is the hill country of Ephraim.

And Joshua said unto them: If, a numerous people, thou art, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there, in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, - seeing that, too narrow for thee, is the hill country of Ephraim. And the sons of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us, - and there are, chariots of iron, among all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, belonging both to them in Bethshean, and her towns, and to them in the valley of Jezreel.

And the sons of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us, - and there are, chariots of iron, among all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley, belonging both to them in Bethshean, and her towns, and to them in the valley of Jezreel. And Joshua made answer unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, - A numerous people, thou art, and, great vigour, thou hast, thou shalt not have one lot only;

And Joshua made answer unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, - A numerous people, thou art, and, great vigour, thou hast, thou shalt not have one lot only; for, the hill country, shall be thine, in that, a forest, it is, therefore canst thou cut it down, and thine shall be the extensions thereof, - for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though, chariots of iron, they have, and though, strong, they are.

for, the hill country, shall be thine, in that, a forest, it is, therefore canst thou cut it down, and thine shall be the extensions thereof, - for thou shalt dispossess the Canaanites, though, chariots of iron, they have, and though, strong, they are.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them.

Then were gathered together all the assembly of the sons of Israel at Shiloh, and they set up there, the tent of meeting, - the land, having been subdued before them. But there remained among the sons of Israel, to whom had not been apportioned their inheritance, - seven tribes. read more. So Joshua said unto the sons of Israel, - How long, will ye be too slothful, to enter in and take possession of the land, which Yahweh God of your fathers, hath given unto you? Set forth for you three men for each tribe, - that I may send them, that they may arise - and go up and down in the land - and map it out as required for their inheritance, and come in unto me.

Set forth for you three men for each tribe, - that I may send them, that they may arise - and go up and down in the land - and map it out as required for their inheritance, and come in unto me. So shall they apportion it for themselves into seven parts, - Let, Judah, stay upon his boundary, on the south, and, the house of Joseph, stay upon their boundary, on the north, read more. but, ye, shall map out the rest of the land, into seven parts, - and bring in your descriptions unto me, here, - then will I cast lots for you here, before Yahweh our God. For Levi hath no portion in your midst, for, the priesthood of Yahweh, is his inheritance, - and, Gad, and Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance, beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them. So the men arose, and went, - and Joshua commanded them who were going, to map out the land, saying - Take your journey and go up and down in the land, and map it out, and return unto me, and, here, will I cast lots for you before Yahweh, in Shiloh. So the men went, and passed through the land, and mapped it out by cities, into seven parts, upon a scroll, - and came in unto Joshua, unto the camp, in Shiloh.

So the men went, and passed through the land, and mapped it out by cities, into seven parts, upon a scroll, - and came in unto Joshua, unto the camp, in Shiloh. And Joshua cast for them lots, in Shiloh, before Yahweh, - and Joshua there apportioned the land unto the sons of Israel, according to their portions. read more. Then came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, - and the boundary of their lot came out, between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph. And so their boundary, on the north border, was from the Jordan, - and the boundary goeth up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and goeth up in the hill country, westward, and the extensions thereof are towards the wilderness of Beth-aven; and the boundary passeth over from thence towards Luz, to the side of Luz, southwards, the same, is Bethel, - and the boundary goeth down to Ataroth-addah, by the mountain that is on the south of Beth-horon the nether; then turneth the boundary and goeth round the west border, southward, from the mountain which faceth Beth-horon, southward, and so the extensions thereof are unto Kiriath-baal - the same, is Kiriath-jearim, a city of the sons of Judah, - this, is the west border. And, the border southward, is from the uttermost part of Kiriath-jearim, - and the boundary goeth out westward, yea it goeth out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah; and the boundary goeth down to the uttermost part of the mountain which faceth the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the Vale of Giants, northward, - and descendeth the valley of Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite, southward, and then descendeth to En-rogel; and it turneth on the north, and goeth out at En-shemesh, and goeth out unto Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim, - and goeth down by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben; and passeth along unto the side over against the Arabah, northward, - and goeth down toward the Arabah; and the boundary passeth along unto the side of Beth-hoglah, northward, and so the extensions of the boundary are unto the bay of the Salt Sea, northward, unto the end of the Jordan, southward, - This, is the south boundary. And, the Jordan itself, boundeth it as an eastward border. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by the boundaries thereof round about, by their families. So then the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, by their families, are, - Jericho and Beth-hoglah, and Emekkeziz, and Beth-arabah and Zemaraim, and Bethel, and Avvim and Parah and Ophrah, and Chephar-ammoni and Ophni, and Geba, - twelve cities, with their villages: Gibeon and Ramah, and Beeroth, and Mizpeh and Chephirah, and Mozah, and Rekem and Irpeel, and Taralah, and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite, the same, is Jerusalem, Gibeath and Kiriath, fourteen cities, with their villages.

Then came near the ancestral heads of the Levites, unto Eleazar, the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, - and unto the ancestral heads of the tribes, of the sons of Israel; and spake unto them in Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying: Yahweh himself, commanded, by the hand of Moses, that there should be given unto us cities to dwell in, - with their pasture-lands for our cattle. read more.

All the cities of the Levites, in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel, were forty-eight cities, with their pasture lands: these cities passed, each severally, with its pasture lands round about it; thus, was it with all these cities. So Yahweh gave unto Israel, all the land which he had sworn to give unto their fathers, - and they took possession thereof, and dwelt therein. And Yahweh gave them rest round about, according to all that he had sworn unto their fathers, - and there stood not a man before them, of all their enemies; all their enemies, did Yahweh deliver into their hand. There failed not a thing, out of all the good things, whereof Yahweh had spoken unto the house of Israel, - the whole, came to pass.

Then, called Joshua - for the Reubenites, and for the Gadites, - and for the half tribe of Manasseh; and said unto them, Ye, have observed all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, - and have hearkened unto my voice, in all that I commanded you: read more. ye have not forsaken your brethren, these many days, unto this day, - but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God. Now, therefore, that Yahweh your God hath given rest unto your brethren, according as he spake unto them, - now, therefore, turn ye and get you to your homes within the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto you, over the Jordan. Only, take ye diligent heed, to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you - to love Yahweh your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, - and to serve him - with all your heart, and with all your soul. So Joshua blessed them, - and sent them away, and they took their journey unto their homes.

So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh. returned and departed from the sons of Israel, from Shiloh, which was in the land of Canaan, - to go unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, wherein they had received their possessions, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses. And, when they came into the circles of the Jordan, which were in the land of Canaan, - then did the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh build there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of large dimensions, read more. And the sons of Israel heard say, - Lo! the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in front of the land of Canaan, in the circles of the Jordan, in the region opposite the sons of Israel. And, when the sons of Israel heard, all the assembly of the sons of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war. And the sons of Israel sent unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, - Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest; and ten princes with him, one prince of an ancestral house for each of the tribes of Israel, - they being, severally heads of their ancestral houses, among the thousands of Israel. So they came in unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, within the land of Gilead, - and spake with them, saying: Thus, say all the assembly of Yahweh - What is this act of treachery which ye have committed against the God of Israel, that ye should turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, - in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel, to-day, against Yahweh? Too little for us, was the iniquity of Peor, from which we have not cleansed ourselves, unto this day, - although the plague came upon the assembly of Yahweh; but that, ye, must turn back to-day from following Yahweh, - though it must needs be that, if, ye, rebel to-day against Yahweh, then, to-morrow, with all the assembly of Israel, will he be wroth? Howbeit, if, unclean, be the land of your possession, do ye on your part come over into the land of the possession of Yahweh, where abideth the habitation of Yahweh, and take your possession in our midst, - but, against Yahweh, do not rebel, nor, against us, rebel, by building yourselves an altar apart from the altar of Yahweh our God. Did not, Achan son of Zerah, commit an act of treachery, with a devoted thing, and, upon all the assembly of Israel, came wrath, - so that not, he - one man alone, died in his iniquity. Then responded the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, - and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel: El-Elohim-Yahweh, El-Elohim-Yahweh, he knoweth, and, Israel, he, shall know, - if in rebellion, or if in treachery, against Yahweh, do not save us this day: that we should build for ourselves an altar, to turn back from following Yahweh, - or, if that we might cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifice or meal-offering, or if that we might offer thereon peace-offerings, let Yahweh himself require it; if, indeed, we have not, rather, out of anxiety and of purpose, done this thing, saying, - . In time to come, your sons might speak to our sons, saying, What have ye to do with Yahweh, God of Israel; seeing that, a boundary, hath Yahweh put between us and you, ye sons of Reuben and ye sons of Gad - even the Jordan, ye have no portion in Yahweh, - so might your sons cause our sons, to cease from revering Yahweh. We said, therefore, Let us prepare, we pray you, to build us an altar, - not for ascending-offering, nor for sacrifice; but that, a witness, it may be between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we are to do the service of Yahweh, before him, with our ascending-offerings and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, - that your sons may not say, in time to come, to our sons, Ye have no portion in Yahweh. Therefore said we, And it shall be, when they so say to us, or to our generations, in time to come, - that we will say - Behold ye the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for ascending-offerings nor for sacrifice, but that, a witness, it might be between us and you. Far be it from us - that we should rebel against Yahweh, or turn back, to-day, from following Yahweh, by building an altar, for ascending-offering, or meal-offering or for sacrifice, - other than the altar of Yahweh our God, which is before his habitation. And, when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the assembly, even the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the sons of Manasseh spake, then was it well-pleasing in their eyes. And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said unto the sons of Reuben and unto the sons of Gad and unto the sons of Manasseh - To-day, we know that, in our midst, is Yahweh, in that ye have not committed, against Yahweh, this act of treachery, - now, have ye rescued the sons of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh. So Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the princes returned from the sons of Reuben and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto the sons of Israel, - and brought them back word. And the thing was well-pleasing in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God, - and spake not of going up against them, to war, to lay waste the land, wherein the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad dwelt. So the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad named the altar a Witness : A witness, it is between us, That, Yahweh, is God.

Then passed ye over the Jordan, and came in unto Jericho, and, when they would have made war with you - even the lords of Jericho - the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Girgashite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, then delivered I them into your hand.

Thus I gave unto you a land on which thou hadst not laboured, and cities which ye had not built, and ye proceeded to dwell therein, - of vineyards and oliveyards, which ye planted not, ye are eating.

And she said unto him - Give me a present; for, south land, hast thou given me, give me therefore pools of water. So Caleb gave her Upper-pools, and Lower-pools.

And, the waggon, entered into the field of Joshua, a man of Beth-shemesh, and stood still, there, where also, was a great stone, - so they clave into pieces the planks of the waggon, and, the kine, offered they up as an ascending-sacrifice, unto Yahweh.

And the golden mice, by the number of all the cities of the Philistines, pertaining to the five lords, both fortified cities, and country villages, - yea, even the great meadow whereon they rested the ark of Yahweh, until this day, is in the field-land of Joshua, the man of Beth-shemesh.

In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first of the month, came the word of Yahweh, by the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and unto Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, saying:

Then hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, - and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.

Thus did Yahweh, stir up - the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, pasha of Judah, and the spirit of Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, - and they came in and did service in the house of Yahweh of hosts their God:

And he shewed me, Joshua the high priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, - and, the Accuser, standing at his right hand, to accuse him.
