All these cities were made strong with high walls, gates and bars; beside un-walled towns, a great many.

And I warned Joshua the same time, saying, 'Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings; even so the LORD will do unto all kingdoms whither thou goest.

Keep them therefore and do them, for that is your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the nations: which, when they have heard all these ordinances, shall say, 'O what a wise and understanding people is this great nation.'

In thy tribulation and when all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, thou shalt turn unto the LORD thy God, and shalt hearken unto his voice.

and these are the witness, ordinances and statutes which Moses told the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,

These words the LORD spake unto all your multitude in the mount out of the fire, cloud and darkness, with a loud voice, and added no more thereto, and wrote them in two tables of stone and delivered them unto me.

These are the commandments, ordinances and laws which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.

And therefore commanded us to do all these ordinances and for to fear the LORD our God, for our wealth always and that he might save us, as it is come to pass this day.

Moreover it shall be righteousness unto us before the LORD our God, if we take heed to keep all these commandments as he hath commanded us.'

If ye shall hearken unto these laws and shall observe and do them, then shall the LORD thy God keep covenant with thee, and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers,

If thou shalt say in thine heart, 'These nations are more than I, how can I cast them out?'

The LORD thy God will put out these nations before thee a little and a little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

And beware that thou say not in thine heart, 'My power and the might of mine own hand hath done me all these acts.'

Speak not in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out before thee, saying, 'For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land.' Nay, but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth cast them out before thee.

It is not for thy righteousness' sake and right heart that thou goest to possess their land: But partly for the wickedness of these nations, the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee, and partly to perform that which the LORD thy God sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

for he is thy praise, and he is thy God that hath done these great and terrible things for thee, which thine eyes have seen.

Put up, therefore, these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and bind them for a sign unto your hands, and let them be as papers of remembrance between your eyes,

For if ye shall keep all these commandments which I command you, so that ye do them and love the LORD your God and walk in all his ways and cleave unto him;

then will the LORD cast out all these nations; and ye shall conquer them which are both greater and mightier than yourselves.

These are the ordinances and laws which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, as long as ye live upon the earth.

Take heed and hear all these words which I command thee that it may go well with thee and with thy children after thee forever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

Beware that thou be not taken in a snare after them, after that they be destroyed before thee, and that thou ask not after their gods saying, 'How did these nations serve their gods, that I may do so likewise?'

These are the beasts which ye shall eat of: oxen, sheep and goats,

Nevertheless, these ye shall not eat of them that chew cud and of them that divide and cleave the hoof: the camel, the hare and the coney. For they chew cud, but divide not the hoof: and therefore are unclean unto you:

These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: All that have fins and scales.

but these are they of which ye may not eat: the eagle, the goshawk, the cormorant,

so that thou hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and do all these commandments which I command you this day.

And remember that thou was a servant in Egypt, that thou observe and do these ordinances.

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all days of his life that he may learn to fear the LORD his God for to keep all the words of this law and these ordinances for to do them:

When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, see that thou learn not to do after the abominations of these nations.

For all that do such things are abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth cast them out before thee.

For these nations which thou shalt conquer hearken unto makers of dismal days and bruterers. But the LORD thy God permitteth not that to thee.

- so that thou keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, that thou love the LORD thy God and walk in his ways ever - then thou shalt add three cities more unto those three,

But and if there be any man that hateth his neighbour and layeth await for him and riseth against him and smiteth him that he die, and fleeth unto any of these cities;

Thus thou shalt do unto all the cities which are a great way off from thee and not of the cities of these nations.

But in the cities of these nations which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.

and lo, he layeth shameful things unto her charge saying: I found not thy daughter a maid. And yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.' And let them spread the vesture before the elders of the city.

This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these ordinances and laws. Keep them, therefore, and do them with all thine heart and all thy soul.

When ye be come over Jordan, see that ye set up these stones which I command you this day in mount Ebal, and plaster them with plaster.

"These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.

And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.

And all these blessings shall come on thee and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

And see that thou bow not from any of these words which I command thee this day, either to the righthand or to the left, that thou wouldest go after strange gods to serve them.

"But and if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God to keep and to do all his commandments and ordinances which I command thee this day; then all these curses shall come upon thee and overtake thee:

"Moreover, all these curses shall come upon thee and shall follow thee and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed: because thou hearkenedest not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and ordinances which he commanded thee;

And among these nations thou shalt be no small season, and yet shalt have no rest for the sole of thy foot. For the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart and dazing eyes and sorrow of mind.

These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

Lest there be among you man or woman, kindred or tribe, that turneth away in his heart this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations: and lest there be among you some root that beareth gall and wormwood,

When all these words are come upon thee, whether it be the blessing or the curse which I have set before thee; yet if thou turn unto thine heart among all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath thrust thee,

And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies and on them that hate thee and persecute thee.

And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel,

The LORD your God, he will go over before thee and he will destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt conquer them. And Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

these tribulations are come upon us.' But I will hide my face that same time for all the evil's sake which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto strange gods.

Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears and call heaven and earth to record against them.

were it not that I feared the railing of their enemies - lest their adversaries would be proud and say: Our high hand hath done all these works, and not the LORD.

And when Moses had spoken all these words unto the end to all Israel,

His beauty is as a firstborn ox and his horns as the horns of an unicorn. And with them he shall push the nations together, even unto the ends of the world. These are the many thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh."

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 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;

These are they to which Moses gave inheritance in the fields of Moab, on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward.

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 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.

And when the angel of the LORD had spoken these words unto all the children of Israel, the people cried out and wept.

These are the nations which the LORD left to tempt Israel, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan.

And his mother's brethren rehearsed of him in the audience of all the citizens of Shechem, all these words, and moved their hearts to follow Abimelech, in that they said how he was their brother.

Then said Zebul unto him, "Where is now thy mouth that said, 'What fellow is Abimelech, that we should serve him?' These are the people that thou so despisest. Go out now a fellowship and fight with them."
