After the death of Moses, the servant of the LORD, the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

from the wilderness and this Lebanon unto the great river Euphrates; and all the land of the Hittites, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coasts.

until the LORD hath given your brethren rest, as he hath you, and until they also have obtained the land which the LORD your God giveth them. And then return unto the land of your possession and enjoy it, which land Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sun rising."

Then Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two spies, secretly, saying, "Go and view the land and also Jericho." And they went, and came unto a harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

And the men pursued after them, the way to Jordan even unto the passage, and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gates immediately.

And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did faint. And there remained no more courage in any man for fear of your coming. For the LORD your God; he is the God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.

And the two men returned and descended from the mountain and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all that had chanced them.

And as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of Jehovah - the Lord of all the world - tread in the water of Jordan, the water of Jordan shall divide itself and the waters that cometh from above shall stand still upon a heap."

as soon as they that bare the ark came unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water - Jordan being full over all his banks all the time of harvest -

the water that came down from above did stop; and stood upon a heap, a great way from Adam, a city beside Zarethan. And the water that went down vanished into the sea of the wilderness called the salt sea as soon as it was divided: and the people went right over against Jericho.

And as soon as the people were all gone over Jordan, the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

that this may be a sign among you. And when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What mean ye with these stones?'

And when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were ascended out of Jordan - as soon as the soles of the priests' feet were brought to dry land - the water of Jordan returned again to his place and went over all his banks as he did before.

And when there is a long blast blown with the ram's horn, as soon as ye hear the sound of the horn, let all the people shout a mighty shout. And then shall the walls of the city fall down, and the people shall ascend up, every man straight before him."

And Joshua the son of Nun called unto the priests, and said unto them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

And Joshua cursed at that time, saying, "Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: so that he lay the foundation with the death of his eldest son, and with the death of his youngest set up the gates."

But yet the children of Israel trespassed in the excommunicate things: for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah, took of the excommunicate things. And the wrath of the LORD waxed hot against the children of Israel.

And he brought the kindred of the Zerahites by householders, and Zabdi was caught. And he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah in the tribe of Judah was caught.

And Joshua said unto Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and give him praise, and show me what thou hast done, and hide it not from me."

And Joshua took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the tongue of gold, and his sons and his daughters, his oxen, asses, sheep, his tent and all that he had, and all Israel with him, and brought them unto the valley of Achor.

As soon, therefore, as ye have taken the city, see that ye set it on fire. According to the commandment of the LORD see that ye do: behold, I have charged you."

And the lyers-await rose quickly out of their places, and ran, as soon as Joshua had stretched out his hand, and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set it on fire.

And the king of Ai he hanged on tree, until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded and they took the carcass down off the tree, and cast it in the entering of the gate of the city, and cast thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

Then spake Joshua unto the LORD, the day when the LORD delivered the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of all Israel, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon."

And the sun abode, and the moon stood still, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the righteous, how that the sun abode in the midst of heaven and hasted not to go down by the space of a whole day?

And at the going down of the sun, Joshua gave commandment, and they took them down off the trees and cast them into the cave, where they hid themselves, and laid great stones on the cave's mouth, which remain unto this day.

And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon toward the sun rising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon until thou come to Hamath,

And Balaam, also, the son of Beor, the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword, among other that were slain.

and half Gilead and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which pertain unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, and that unto half the children of Machir by their kindreds.

And these are the countries which the children inherited in the land of Canaan, unto which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun and the ancient heads of the tribes of the children of Israel,

And the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, "Thou knowest what the LORD said unto Moses the man of God, about me and thee in Kadesh Barnea.

And Joshua blessed Caleb the son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron to inherit.

And Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, unto this day: because he followed the LORD God of Israel perpetually.

And the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah in their kindreds was the wilderness of Zin that stretched to the coasts of Edom southward, and is the utmost part of the south coasts.

And it went out on the south side of the going up to Akrabbim, and went along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, and went along the Hezron and went up to Addar, and set a compass to Karka,

And went up to Bethhoglah and went along by the north side of Betharabah and went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

And then went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, even unto the south side of the Jebusites the inhabiters of Jerusalem. And then went up to the top of the hill that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, and by the edge of the valley of Rephaim northward;

And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh was there a part given among the children of Judah, by the mouth of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Kiriatharba father of Anak which city is called Hebron.

And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb took it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

Zanoah, Engannim, Tappuah and Enam;

Jezreel, Jokdeam, and Zanoah;

And the tribe of Manasseh which was the eldest son of Joseph received a lot. And Machir, the eldest son of Manasseh, which was the father of Gilead and a man of war, had Gilead and Bashan.

And the rest of the children of Manasseh received by their kindreds: which were the children of Abiezer; the children of Helek: the children of Asriel: the children of Shechem, the children of Hepher: the children of Shemida. These are the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph in their kindreds.

But Zelophehad the son of Hepher the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons save daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah;

which came before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the lords, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren." And he gave them at the mouth of the LORD, an inheritance among the brethren of their fathers.

Nevertheless, as soon as the children of Israel were waxed strong, they put the Cananites to tribute, but expelled them not.

and cometh down to the edge of the hill that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom which is in the valley of Rephaim northward, and descendeth through the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward and goeth down to the well of Rogel.

And compasseth from the north and goeth forth to Enshemesh and to the coasts that lie before the going up unto Adummim; and goeth down to the stone of Bohan the son of Ruben;

and turned from Sarid eastward toward the sun rising unto the border of Chisloth in mount Tabor: and then goeth out to Daberath and goeth up to Japhia;

and from thence goeth along eastward toward the sun rising, to Gathhepher, Ethkazin, and goeth to Rimmon, Methoar, and Neah.

and turneth toward the sun rising to Bethdagon, and met at Zebulun and in the valley of Iphtahel, and toward the northside of Bethemek and Neiel, and goeth out on the left side of Cabul;

And then the coast turneth westward to Aznoth in mount Tabor, and then goeth out from thence to Hukkok and meeteth with Zebulun on the south side, and with Asher on the west, and at Judah upon Jordan toward the sun rising.

When they had made an end of dividing the land by her coasts then the children of Israel gave an inheritance unto Joshua the son of Nun among them:

These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun, and the ancient fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, in the door of the tabernacle of witness, and so made an end of dividing the country.

And then came the principal heads of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun and unto the ancient heads of the tribes of the children of Israel,

But the country that pertained to the city and the villages thereof, they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh, to be his possession.

And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Ruben, to the children of Gad and unto the half tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

Did not Achan the son of Zerah trespass in the excommunicate things, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel, so that he alone perished not for his wickedness?'"

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Ruben, of Gad and of Manasseh, "This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not done this trespass against the LORD. Now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD."

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest and the lords returned from the children of Reuben and of Gad out of the land of Gilead unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations before your faces: for the LORD your God he fought for you.

And they cried unto the LORD. And he put darkness between you and the Egyptians and brought the sea upon them and covered them. And your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt. And ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor for to curse you.

But Joshua said unto the people, "Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God and cannot bear your transgression and sin.

And after these things, the time came that Joshua the son of Nun and the servant of the LORD died being a hundredth and ten years old.

And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had seen all the works of the LORD that he had done to Israel.

And Eleazar the son of Aaron died, whom they buried in Gibeah that pertained to Phinehas his son and was given him in Mount Ephraim.
