Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread, unto you, have I given it, - as I spake unto Moses.

No man shall stand before thee, all the days of thy life, - as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee, I will not fail thee, neither will I forsake thee.

until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, - then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.

As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, - only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

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.

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, when we heard, then did our heart melt, and there rose up no longer any spirit in any man because of you, - for, as for Yahweh your God, he, is God - in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.

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.

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, 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 this may be a sign in your midst, - for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?

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.

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.

Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the hall tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, - as Moses had spoken unto them:

On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, - and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.

And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.

Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, - When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, - What mean these stones?

in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, - as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:

And he said - Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking unto his servant?

Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua - Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.

And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, - nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, - unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come.

And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, - and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.

But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, - and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

then gathered they themselves together as one man, to fight with Joshua, and with Israel, - with one accord.

and, these leathern wine bottles, which we filled new, lo! also, they are rent, - and, as for these our mantles and our sandals, they are worn out, by reason of the very long journey.

And the princes said unto them - Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the assembly, as the princes spake unto them.

Now, therefore, accursed, ye are, - and ye shall not cease to be in bond-service as hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.

Now, therefore, here we are, in thy hand, - as may be good and right in thine eyes, to do unto us, do.

And Joshua appointed them that day to be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the assembly, - and unto the altar of Yahweh, as they are until this day, in the place which he should choose.

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:

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Now, these, are the kings of the land, whom the sons of Israel had smitten, and of whose land they had taken possession, over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun, - from the ravine of Arnon, as far as Mount Hermon, and all the waste plain, on the east:

Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, - ruling from Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, and the middle of the ravine, and half Gilead, even as far as the ravine Jabbok, the boundary of the sons of Ammon;

and the waste plain as far as the sea of Chinneroth, on the east, even as far as the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth, - and, on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah;

ruling also in Mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, as far as the boundary of the Geshurites, and the Maacathites, - and half Gilead, the boundary of Sihon king of Heshbon: -

Moses the servant of Yahweh, and the sons of Israel, had smitten them, - and Moses the servant of Yahweh, had given it, as a possession, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh.

And, these, are the kings of the land, whom Joshua and the sons of Israel smote over the Jordan, towards the west, from Baal-gad in the valley of the Lebanon, even as far as the Mount Halak that goeth up towards Seir, - and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel, as a possession, according to their portions;

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;

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.

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.

But, unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance, - Yahweh God of Israel, he, was their inheritance, as he spake unto them.

By lot, was their inheritance divided, - as Yahweh commanded by the hand of Moses, unto the nine tribes and unto the half tribe.

As Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel, - when they apportioned the land.

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.

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.

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, 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 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?

Ashdod, her towns and her villages. Gaza, her towns and her villages, as far as the ravine of Egypt, - and the great sea and coast.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

and all the villages that were round about these cities, as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the South. This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, by their families:

Then came up the third lot, for the sons of Zebulun, by their families, - and the boundary of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

and Ebron and Rehob, and Hammon and Kanah, - as far as Zidon the populous;

and the boundary turneth to Ramah, and as far as the city of the fortress of Tyre, - then the boundary turneth to Hosah, and so the extensions thereof are, on the west, from Hebel to Achzib;

And their boundary was from Heleph, from the terebinth of Bezaannim, and Adami-nekeb, and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum; and so the extensions thereof were to the Jordan;

So the sons of Israel gave unto the Levites these cities, with their pasture lands, - as Yahweh commanded, by the hand of Moses, by lot.

whereas, the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they unto Caleb son of Jephunneh, as his possession.
