And it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

And it happened when it was dark, at the time of shutting the gate, the men went out. Where the men went I do not know. Go after them quickly, for you shall overtake them.

And the men went after them on the way to Jordan, to the fords. And when they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.

And it happened after three days the officers went through the host.

And they commanded the people saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place and go after it.

And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised. All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the wayside, after they came out of Egypt.

And they ate of the old grain of the land on the next day after the Passover, unleavened cakes and roasted grain in the same day.

And the manna stopped on the next day after they had eaten the old grain of the land. And there was no more manna to the sons of Israel, but they ate the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the ram's horns. And the gathering army came after the ark, as the priests were going on and blowing with the ram's horns.

And seven priests carrying seven ram's horns before the ark of Jehovah went on without stopping and blew with the ram's horns. And the armed men went in front of them. But the rear guard came after the ark of Jehovah as the priests were going on and blowing with the ram's horns.

And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

(for they will come out after us) until we have drawn them out of the city. For they will say, They flee before us, even as at the first. And we will flee before them.

And all the people in Ai were called together to run after them. And they ran after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, who did not go after Israel. And they left the city open, and ran after Israel.

And it happened at the end of three days after they had made a treaty with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and that they lived among them.

And there was no day like that before it or after it, that Jehovah listened to the voice of a man. For Jehovah fought for Israel.

And the border of the sons of Dan came out too little for them. And the sons of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived in it. And they called Leshem Dan, after the name of their father Dan.

but it shall be a witness between us and you, and our generations after us, so that we might do the service of Jehovah before Him with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings; so that your sons may not say to our sons in time to come, You have no part in Jehovah.

And it happened many days after Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies all around, Joshua became old, far along in days.

And I brought your fathers out of Egypt. And you came to the sea, and the Egyptians followed after your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

If you forsake Jehovah and serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you harm, and destroy you after He has done you good.

And it happened after these things, Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
