And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, - that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:

Moses my servant, is dead, - Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto them - unto the sons of Israel.

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.

Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, - that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.

Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, - Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land.

Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, - but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, - all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 they responded to Joshua, and said - Because it was, plainly told, thy servants, how that Yahweh thy God had commanded Moses his servant to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, - therefore feared we greatly, for our lives, because of you, and did this thing.

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.

As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so, Moses commanded Joshua, and, so, Joshua, did, he set aside nothing of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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;

Thus then Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families;

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;

And Moses gave an inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families;

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;

These, are the portions which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, - over the Jordan by Jericho 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.

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;

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.

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.

And they had come near, before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh, commanded Moses, to give us an inheritance in the midst of our brethren, - And he had given them, according to the bidding of Yahweh, an inheritance, in the midst of the brethren of their father.

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.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, - Set out for you the cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you, by the hand of Moses:

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.

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.

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:

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.

Now, unto the one half tribe of Manesseh, had Moses given a possession in Bashan, and, unto the other half, did Joshua give possession with their brethren, over the Jordan, westward, - moreover also, when Joshua sent them away unto their homes, he blessed them,

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.

Therefore must ye be very firm to observe and to do all that is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, - so as not to turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left;

Then sent I Moses and Aaron, and plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in their midst, and, afterwards, brought you forth.
