And even so if thou utter these our words, we will be quit of thy oath which thou hast made us swear."

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?'

Then say unto them, 'How that the water of Jordan divided at the presence of the ark of the covenant of the LORD: even while it went over Jordan, the water of Jordan divided.' And these stones shall be a memorial unto the children of Israel forever."

And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, "When your children ask you in time to come saying, 'What mean these stones?'

And the other issued out of the city against them. And so were they in the midst of Israel, these being on the one side of them, and the rest on the other. And they laid upon them, so that they let none either remain or escape.

And these bottles of wine which we filled were new: and see, they be rent. And these our garments and shoes are waxen old by reason of the exceeding long journey."

Then said Joshua, "Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out these five kings unto me out of the cave."

And when they had brought out those kings unto Joshua: Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war, which came with him, "Come near and put your feet upon the necks of these kings." And they came near and put their feet upon the necks of them.

And all these kings met together, and came and pitched together upon the water of Merom, for to fight with Israel.

These are the kings of the land which the children of Israel smote and conquered their lands, on the other side Jordan eastward, from the river Arnon, unto mount Hermon, and all the plain eastward:

These are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan, westward, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon, even unto mount Halak that goeth up to Seir. And Joshua gave the land unto the tribes of Israel to possess, to every man his part;

and went along to Azmon, and it went out to the river of Egypt: so that the end of the coast is the sea. And these are their south coasts.

And the west borders are the great sea and the coasts that lie thereon. And these are the coasts of the children of Judah round about in their kindreds.

Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: all these cities are twenty and nine with their villages.

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;

And these are the cities of the tribes of the children of Benjamin in their kindreds: Jericho, Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz;

And thereto all the villages that lie round about these cities, even unto Baalathbeer and Ramah, southward. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon in their kindreds.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher by their kindreds: these cities with their villages.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali by their kindreds: these cities and their villages.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan in their kindreds: these cities with their villages.

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.

These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and to the strangers that Sojourned among them that whosoever killed any person ignorantly, the same might flee thither and should not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritances, at the bidding of the LORD, these cities following with their suburbs.

And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs as the LORD commanded by Moses.

And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities by name:

All these cities of the children of Aaron priests were thirteen cities with their Suburbs.

And these cities had each their suburbs round about her throughout all the said cities.

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.

Behold, I have appointed these nations that remain to be the inheritance of your tribes: even from Jordan, and all the nations that I have destroyed, even unto the great sea.

and that ye go not unto these nations that remain with you: and that ye neither make mention or swear by the names of their gods, and that ye neither serve them nor bow yourselves unto them.

But and if ye shall go back and cleave unto the rest of these nations that remain with you and shall make marriages with them, and shall go to them and they come to you:

be sure that the LORD your God will not cast out all these nations before you. But they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges for your sides, and pricks in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone and pitched it on end in the said place, even under an oak that stood in the sanctuary of the LORD.

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.
