Be firm and bold, - for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, - to give unto them.

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 the men said unto her, - Free, will we be from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear:

Or, if thou utter this our business, then shall we be free from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

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.

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 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, 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.

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.

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;

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;

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.

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;

In the lowland, - Eshtaol and Zorah, and Ashnah,

and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba, the same, is Hebron, and Zior, - nine cities, with their villages.

Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor,

And, the fortified cities, are, - Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth,

And the boundary of their inheritance was, - Zorah and Eshtaol, and Ir-shemesh,

at the bidding of Yahweh, gave they unto him the city which he asked, even Timnath-serah, in the hill country of Ephraim, - and he built the city and dwelt therein.

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.

and gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau, - and gave unto Esau, Mount Seir, to possess it, but, Jacob and his sons, went down into Egypt.

And they buried him within the bounds of his own inheritance, in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.
