2:2	ItBut it was told to the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to searchspy out the land.”
2:3	And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to searchspy out all the land.”
2:5	It came about, when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them.”
2:7	So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan, to the fordscrossing places; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.
2:8	Now before theythe spies lay down, she came up to them on the roof,
2:9	and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melteddespaired awaybecause beforeof you.
2:11	When we heard itthese reports, our hearts melted and no courage remained in anyanyone man any longer because of you; for the Lord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneathbelow.

2:17	TheAnd the men said to her, “We shall be freeexempt from this oath to you which you have made us swear,
2:18	unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather to yourself into theyour house your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father’s household.
2:19	ItAnd it shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house intooutside thewill street,have his blood shall be on his own head, and we shallwill be freeinnocent; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shallwill be on our head if a hand is laid on him.
2:20	But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be freeexempt from the oath which you have made us swear.”
2:21	She then said, “According to your words, so be it.” So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
2:22	TheySo they departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days, until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had soughtsearched for them all along the road, but had not found them.
2:23	Then the two men returned and came down from the hill country, and they crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun,. andThen they relatedreported to him all that had happened to them.
2:24	TheyAnd they said to Joshua, “SurelyThe the Lord has givenindeed handed over to us all the land into our hands; moreoverfurthermore, all the inhabitants of the land have melteddespaired awaybecause beforeof us.”
3:1	Then Joshua rosegot up early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodgedspent the night there before they crossed.
3:2	AtThen at the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp;
3:4	However, there shall be a distance between you and it a distance of about 2,000two thousand cubits by measuremeasurement. Do not come near it, so that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.”
3:5	Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wondersmiracles among you.”
3:7	Now the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they maywill know that just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you.
3:8	YouSo you shall, moreover, command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.’ ”
3:10	And Joshua said, “By this you shallwill know that the living God is among you, and that He will assuredly dispossessdrive out from before you the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
3:13	ItAnd shallit will come about when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, andthat is, the waters which are flowing down from above; and they will stand in one heap.”
3:14	So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying the ark of the covenant before the people,
3:15	and when those who carriedwere carrying the ark came intoup to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark werestepped dippeddown ininto the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),
3:16	then the waters which were flowing down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.
4:1	Now when all the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
4:3	and command them, saying, ‘Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet are standing firmfirmly, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodgingencampment place where you will lodgespend tonightthe night.’ ”
4:6	LetThis thisshall be a sign among you,; so that when your children ask later, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
4:7	then you shall say to them, ‘BecauseThat the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.’ So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever.”
4:8	ThusSo the sons of Israel did exactly as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the Lord spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodgingencampment place and put them down there.
4:11	and when all the people had finished crossing, then the ark of the Lord and the priests crossed beforein front of the people.
4:12	The sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over in battle arrayformation before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had spoken to them;
4:13	about 40,000forty thousand equipped for war, crossed for battle before the Lord to the desert plains of Jericho.
4:14	On that day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel;, so that they revered him, just as they had revered Moses all the days of his life.
4:19	Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal, on the eastern edge of Jericho.
4:20	ThoseAs for those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set them up at Gilgal.
4:21	HeAnd he said to the sons of Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’
4:24	so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, so that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
5:7	TheirSo their children whom He raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.
5:8	Now when they had finished circumcising all the nation, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healedrecovered.
5:9	Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproachshame of Egypt from you.” So the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.
5:10	While the sons of Israel camped at Gilgal they observedcelebrated the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho.
5:11	OnThen on the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parchedroasted grain.
5:12	TheAnd the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.
5:13	Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he liftedraised up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us or for our adversariesenemies?”
5:14	He said, “No; rather I indeedhave come now as captain of the hostarmy of the Lord.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earthground, and bowed down, and said to him, “What has my lord to say to his servant?”
5:15	TheAnd the captain of the Lord’s hostarmy said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
6:2	TheBut the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have givenhanded Jericho intoover yourto handyou, with its king and the valiant warriors.
6:3	YouAnd you shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days.
6:4	Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns beforein front of the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
6:5	It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people willshall go up, everyeveryone man straight ahead.”
6:6	So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and lethave seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns beforein front of the ark of the Lord.”
6:7	Then he said to the people, “Go forward, and march around the city, and let the armed men shall go on beforeahead of the ark of the Lord.”
6:9	TheAnd the armed men went beforeahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they continued to blow the trumpets.
6:10	But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, nor let a word proceed outfrom of your mouth, until the day I tell you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout!”
6:12	Now Joshua rosegot up early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
6:13	TheThen the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams’ horns beforein front of the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew the trumpets; and the armed men went beforeahead of them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while they continued to blow the trumpets.
6:14	ThusSo the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp; they did sothe same for six days.
6:15	Then on the seventh day they rosegot up early at the dawning of the day and marched around the city in the same mannerway seven times; only on that day did they marchedmarch around the city seven times.
6:16	AtAnd at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city.
6:17	TheBut the city shall be underdesignated thefor bandestruction, it and alleverything that is in it belongs to the Lord; only Rahab the harlotprostitute and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
6:18	But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things underdesignated thefor bandestruction, so that you do not covet them and take some of the designated things under the ban, and maketurn the camp of Israel accursedinto something designated for destruction and bring troubledisaster on it.
6:19	But all the silver and gold, and articles of bronze and iron are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.”
6:20	So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, everyeveryone man straight ahead, and they took the city.
6:21	They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
6:22	And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the harlotprostitute’s house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, just as you have sworn to her.”
6:23	So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives, and placed them outside the camp of Israel.
6:24	TheyThen they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and the articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.
6:25	However, Rahab the harlotprostitute and her father’s household and all she had, Joshua spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, forbecause she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
6:26	Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed before the Lord is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho; with the loss of his firstborn he shallwill lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shallwill set up its gates.”
7:1	But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully inregarding regard to the things underdesignated thefor bandestruction, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the designated things; under the ban, therefore the anger of the Lord burned against the sons of Israel.
7:3	TheyThen they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not lethave all the people go up; have only about two or three thousand men need go up toand attack Ai; do not maketrouble all the people toil up there, for they are few.”
7:5	TheAnd the men of Ai struck downand killed about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent,mountainside; soand the hearts of the people melted and became aslike water.
7:6	Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earthground on his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, both he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
7:7	And Joshua said, “AlasOh, O Lord God,! whyWhy did You ever bring this people overacross the Jordan, only to deliverhand us intoover theto hand of the Amorites, to destroyeliminate us? If only we had been willing to dwelllive beyond the Jordan!
7:9	For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear ofabout it, and they will surround us and cuteliminate off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?”
7:10	So the Lord said to Joshua, “RiseStand up! Why is it that you have fallen on your face?
7:11	Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressedviolated My covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken some of the things underdesignated thefor bandestruction, and have both stolen and deceivedkept it a secret. MoreoverFurthermore, they have also put them among their own things.
7:12	Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand beforeagainst their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, forbecause they have become accurseddesignated for destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroyeliminate thefrom thingsyour undermidst the banthings fromdesignated yourfor midstdestruction.
7:13	RiseStand up! Consecrate the people and say, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, forbecause thus the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, this: “There are things underdesignated thefor bandestruction in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand beforeagainst your enemies until you have removed the designated things under the ban from your midst.”
7:14	InSo in the morning then you shall come nearforward by your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the Lord takesselects by lot shall come nearforward by families, and the family which the Lord takesselects shall come nearforward by households, and the household which the Lord takesselects shall come nearforward man by man.
7:15	ItAnd it shall be that the one who is takenselected with the things underdesignated thefor bandestruction shall be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he has transgressedviolated the covenant of the Lord, and because he has committed a disgraceful thing in Israel.’ ”
7:16	So Joshua arosegot up early in the morning and brought Israel nearforward by tribes, and the tribe of Judah was takenselected.
7:17	HeSo he brought the family of Judah nearforward, and he tookselected the family of the Zerahites; andthen he brought the family of the Zerahites nearforward man by man, and Zabdi was takenselected.
7:18	HeAnd he brought his household nearforward man by man; and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was takenselected.
7:21	when I saw among the spoilspoils a beautiful mantlerobe from Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I covetedwanted them and took them; and behold, they are concealedhidden in the earthground inside my tent, with the silver underneath it.”
7:22	So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was concealedhidden in his tent with the silver underneath it.
7:23	TheySo they took them from inside the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel,; and they pouredlaid them out before the Lord.
7:24	Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the mantlerobe, the bar of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that belonged to him; and they brought them up to the valleyValley of Achor.
7:25	And Joshua said, “Why have you troubledbrought disaster on us? The Lord will troublebring disaster on you this day.” And all Israel stoned them with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.
7:26	TheyThen raisedthey erected over him a greatlarge heap of stones that stands to this day, and the Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the valleyValley of Achor to this day.
8:1	Now the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear or be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you. and ariseArise, go up to Ai; see, I have givenhanded intoover yourto handyou the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
8:2	You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its spoilspoils and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it.”
8:3	So Joshua rose up with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose 30,000thirty thousand men, valiant warriors, and sent them out at night.
8:5	Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as atthey did the first time, we will flee before them.
8:6	They will come out after us until we have drawnlured them away from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing before us just as atthey did the first time.’ So we will flee before them.
8:7	AndThen you shall rise from your ambush and take possession of the city, for the Lord your God will deliverhand it intoover yourto handyou.
8:8	Then it will be when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do it accordingin toaccordance with the word of the Lord. See, I have commanded you.”
8:10	Now Joshua rosegot up early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.
8:11	Then all the people of war who were with him went up and drewapproached, near and arrived in front of the city,; and they camped on the north side of Ai. NowAnd there was a valley between him and Ai.
8:12	AndThen he took about 5,000five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
8:14	ItAnd it came about, when the king of Ai saw itthem, that the men of the city hurried and rosegot up early, and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
8:15	Then Joshua and all Israel pretended to be beatendefeated before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
8:16	And all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and they pursued Joshua and were drawnlured away from the city.
8:17	So not a man was left in Ai or Bethel, whobut they had notall gone out after Israel, and they left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.
8:18	Then the Lord said to Joshua, “StretchReach out with the javelinsword that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will givehand it intoover yourto handyou.” So Joshua stretchedreached out with the javelinsword that was in his hand toward the city.
8:19	TheThen the men in ambush rose quickly from their place, and when he had stretchedreached out with his hand, they ran and entered the city and captured it, and they quickly set the city on fire.
8:21	When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and slewkilled the men of Ai.
8:22	The others came out from the city to encounterconfront them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they slewkilled them until nothere one was leftnot ofone thoseleft who survivedescaped or escapedsurvived.
8:23	But they tookcaptured alive the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
8:24	Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness where they pursued them, and all of them werehad fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.
8:25	AllSo all who fell that day, both men and women, were 12,000twelve thousand—all the people of Ai.
8:26	For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretchedreached out with the javelinsword until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
8:27	Israel took only the cattle and the spoilspoils of that city as plunder for themselves, accordingin toaccordance with the word of the Lord which He had commanded Joshua.
8:28	So Joshua burned Ai and made it a refuse heap forever, a desolation until this day.
8:29	HeAnd he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; andbut at sunset Joshua gave the command and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and raisederected over it a greatlarge heap of stones that stands to this day.
8:30	Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, inon Mount Ebal,
8:31	just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the bookBook of the lawLaw of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no manone had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
8:32	HeAnd he wrote there on the stones a copy of the lawLaw of Moses, which he had written, in the presence of the sons of Israel.
8:33	AllAnd all Israel with their elders, and officers, and their judges were standing on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the stranger as well as the native. Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had givencommanded command at first to bless the people of Israel.
8:34	Then afterward he read all the words of the lawLaw, the blessing and the curse, according to alleverything that is written in the bookBook of the lawLaw.
8:35	There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them.
9:1	Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard ofabout it,
9:2	that they gatheredmet themselves together with one accordpurpose, to fight with Joshua and with Israel.
9:3	WhenThe the inhabitants of Gibeon also heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
9:4	but they alsoon their part acted craftily and setwent outand astook envoysprovisions for a journey, and took worn-out sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins that were worn- out, andsplit tornopen, and mendedpatched,
9:6	TheyAnd they went to Joshua toat the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; now thereforethen, make a covenant with us.”
9:7	TheBut the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you are living within our land; how then shallare we to make a covenant with you?”
9:8	ButSo they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Then Joshua said to them, “Who are you and where do you come from?”
9:9	They said to him, “Your servants have come from a very fardistant country because of the fame of the Lord your God; for we have heard the report ofabout Him and all that He did in Egypt,
9:10	and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and to Og king of Bashan who was atin Ashtaroth.
9:11	So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, “We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us.” ’
9:12	This our bread of ours was warmhot when we took it for our provisions outfrom of our houses on the day that we left to come to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become crumbled.
9:13	TheseAnd these wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are tornsplit open; and these our clothes of ours and our sandals are worn out becausefrom of the very long journey.”
9:15	And Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
9:16	ItHowever, it came about at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were neighbors and that they were living within their land.
9:17	Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
9:18	TheBut the sons of Israel did not strikeattack them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders.
9:20	This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be uponon us forbecause of the oath which we swore to them.”
9:21	TheSo the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” SoAnd they became hewersgatherers of woodfirewood and drawerslabor ofto draw water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.
9:23	Now therefore, you are cursed, and you shallwill never cease beingto be slaves, both hewersgatherers of woodfirewood and drawerslabor ofto draw water for the house of my God.”
9:24	So they answered Joshua and said, “BecauseSince ityour wasservants certainlywere toldfully yourinformed servants that the Lord your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you;, therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and havedid done this thing.
9:25	NowAnd now behold, we are in your hands; do to us as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us.”
9:26	ThusThis he did to them, and deliveredsaved them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them.
9:27	But on that day Joshua made them thatgatherers day hewers of woodfirewood and drawerslabor ofto draw water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, in the place which He would choose.
10:2	that he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
10:3	Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
10:4	“Come up to me and help me, and let’s us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel.”
10:6	Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua toat the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us.”
10:7	So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the valiant warriors.
10:8	TheAnd the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for I have givenhanded them intoover yourto handsyou; not one of them shallwill stand beforeagainst you.”
10:10	And the Lord confoundedbrought them into confusion before Israel, and He slewstruck them withdown in a great slaughterdefeat at Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent ofto Beth-horon and struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
10:11	AsAnd as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord threwhurled large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; there were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.
10:12	Then Joshua spoke to the Lord inon the day when the Lord deliveredturned up the Amorites beforeover to the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, “O sunSun, stand still at Gibeon, And O moon, inat the valleyValley of Aijalon.”!”
10:13	So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies. Is it not written in the bookBook of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not hastenhurry to go down for about a whole day.
10:15	Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp toat Gilgal.
10:17	ItAnd it was told to Joshua, saying, “The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
10:18	So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and assignpost men by it to guard them,
10:19	but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies and attack them infrom the rearbehind. Do not allow them to enter their cities, for the Lord your God has deliveredhanded them intoover yourto handyou.”
10:20	It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slayingstriking them withdown in a very great slaughterdefeat, until they were destroyed, and the survivors who remained of them who escaped had entered the fortified cities,
10:21	that all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. No one uttered a word against any of the sons of Israel.
10:24	When they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefsleaders of the men of war who had gone with him, “Come nearforward, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came nearforward and put their feet on their necks.
10:25	Joshua then said to them, “Do not fear or be dismayed! Be strong and courageous, for thus the Lord will do this to all your enemies with whom you fight.”
10:26	So afterward Joshua struck them and put them to death, and he hanged them on five trees; and they were hung on the trees until evening.
10:27	ItThen it came about at sunset that Joshua gave athe command, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and put large stones over the mouth of the cave, to this very day.
10:28	Now Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and struck it and its king with the edge of the sword; he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it. He left no survivor. ThusSo he did to the king of Makkedah just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
10:30	TheAnd the Lord gavealso handed it alsoover to Israel, with its king into the hands of Israel, and he struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor in it. ThusSo he did to its king just as he had done to the king of Jericho.
10:32	TheAnd the Lord gavehanded Lachish intoover theto hands of Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
10:35	They captured it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; and he utterly destroyed on that day every person who was in it, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
10:37	TheyAnd they captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it.
10:40	ThusSo Joshua struck all the land, the hill country and the Negev and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings. He left no survivor, but he utterly destroyed all who breathed, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
11:1	Then it came about, when Jabin king of Hazor heard ofabout it, that he sent word to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
11:2	and to the kings who were of the north in the hill country, and in the Arabah—south of Chinneroth and in the lowland, and on the heights of Dor on the west—
11:3	to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
11:4	TheyThen they came out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.
11:5	So all of these kings havinggathered agreedtogether, toand meet, came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
11:6	ThenYet the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I willam delivergoing to turn all of them slainover beforeto Israel as good as dead; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
11:7	So Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them suddenly byat the waters of Merom, and attacked them.
11:8	TheAnd the Lord deliveredhanded them intoover theto hand of Israel, so that they defeated them, and pursued them as far as Great Sidon, and Misrephoth-maim, and the valleyValley of Mizpeh to the east; and they struck them until no survivor was left to them.
11:9	And Joshua did to them just as the Lord had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
11:10	Then Joshua turned back at that time, and captured Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor formerlypreviously was the head of all these kingdoms.
11:12	Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings,; and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them;, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.
11:14	AllAnd all the spoilspoils of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took as their plunder; but they struck every manperson with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no one who breathedbreathing.
11:15	Just as the Lord had commanded MosesHis hisservant servantMoses, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
11:16	ThusSo Joshua took all that land: the hill country and all the Negev, all thatthe land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowland
11:17	from Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the valleyValley of Lebanon at the foot of Mount Hermon. And he captured all their kings, and struck them down and put them to death.
11:21	Then Joshua came at that time and cuteliminated off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
11:22	There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.
11:23	So Joshua took the whole land, accordingin toaccordance allwith everything that the Lord had spoken to Moses,; and Joshua gave it foras an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. ThusSo the land hadwas at rest from war.
12:1	Now these are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated, and whosethey landtook theypossession possessedof their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the valleyValley of the Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east:
12:2	Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valleyValley of the Arnon, both the middle of the valley and half of Gilead, even as far as the brook Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon;
12:3	and the Arabah as far as the Sea of Chinneroth toward the east, and as far as the seaSea of the Arabah, eventhat is, the Salt Sea, eastward toward Beth-jeshimoth, and on the south, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah;
12:5	and ruled over Mount Hermon, and Salecah, and all Bashan, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half of Gilead, as far as the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
12:6	Moses the servant of the Lord and the sons of Israel defeated them; and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh as a possession.
12:7	Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the valleyValley of Lebanon even as far as Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,
12:8	in the hill country, in the lowland, in the Arabah, on the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the Negev; the Hittite, the Amorite and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
13:1	Now Joshua was old and advanced in years when the Lord said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and a very muchlarge amount of the land remains to be possessed.
13:3	from the Shihor which is east of Egypt, even as far as the border of Ekron to the north (it is counted as Canaanite); the five lordsgovernors of the Philistines: the Gazite, the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, the Ekronite; and the Avvite
13:6	All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim, all the Sidonians, I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel; only allot it to Israel foras an inheritance as I have commanded you.
13:7	Now therefore, apportion this land foras an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
13:9	from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valleyValley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
13:12	all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he alone was left of the remnant of the Rephaim); for Moses struck them and dispossesseddrove them out.
13:13	But the sons of Israel did not dispossessdrive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites; forinstead, Geshur and Maacath live among Israel untilto this day.
13:16	Their territory was from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valleyValley of the Arnon, with the city which is in the middle of the valley and all the plain by Medeba;
13:17	Heshbon, and all its cities which are on the plain: Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
13:18	and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
13:19	and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar on the hill of the valley,
13:20	and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,
13:21	even all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck with the chiefsleaders of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the princesleaders of Sihon, who lived in the land.
13:22	The sons of Israel also killed Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, with the sword among the rest of their slaindead.
13:24	Moses also gave an inheritance to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad, according to their families.
13:25	Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, as far as Aroer which is beforeopposite Rabbah;
13:27	and in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, with the Jordan as a border, as far as the lower end of the Sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan to the east.
13:32	These are the territories which Moses apportioned foras an inheritance in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho to the east.
14:1	Now these are the territories which the sons of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the tribes of the sons of Israel apportioned to them foras an inheritanceinheritances,
14:2	by the lot of their inheritance, just as the Lord commanded through Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
14:5	ThusThe the sons of Israel did justexactly as the Lord had commanded Moses, and they divided the land.
14:6	Then the sons of Judah drewapproached near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word which the Lord spoke to Moses the man of God concerningon account of you and me in Kadesh-barnea.
14:8	Nevertheless my brethrenbrothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the Lord my God fully.
14:9	So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘SurelyThe the land on which your foot has troddenwalked willshall certainly be an inheritance to you and to your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God fully.’
14:10	NowAnd now behold, the Lord has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.
14:11	I am still as strong today as I was inon the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.
14:12	Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I will drive them out just as the Lord has spoken.”
14:13	So Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh foras an inheritance.
14:14	Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite untilto this day, because he followed the Lord God of Israel fully.
14:15	Now the name of Hebron was formerlypreviously Kiriath-arba; for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land hadwas at rest from war.
15:2	Their southsouthern border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south.
15:3	Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka.
15:4	It continued to Azmon and proceeded to the brook of Egypt, and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southsouthern border.
15:5	The easteastern border was the Salt Sea, as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.
15:7	TheAnd the border went up to Debir from the valleyValley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and it ended at En-rogel.
15:8	Then the border went up the valleyValley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is beforeopposite the valleyValley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valleyValley of Rephaim toward the north.
15:9	FromAnd from the top of the mountain the border curvedturned to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah and proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, then the border curvedturned to Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).
15:10	The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through Timnah.
15:11	TheThen the border proceeded to the side of Ekron northward. ThenAnd the border curvedturned to Shikkeron and continued to Mount Baalah and proceeded to Jabneel, and the border ended at the sea.
15:12	The westwestern border was at the Great Sea, even its coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.
15:13	Now he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, accordingin toaccordance with the command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).
15:14	And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15:15	Then he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerlypreviously was Kiriath-sepher.
15:18	ItAnd cameit abouthappened that when she came to him, she persuadedincited him to ask her father for a field. So she alighteddismounted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
15:19	Then she said, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water also.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
15:21	Now the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
15:22	and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
15:23	and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,

15:62	and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages.
15:63	Now as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not drive them out; so the Jebusites live with the sons of Judah atin Jerusalem untilto this day.
16:3	ItThen it went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of lower Beth-horon even to Gezer, and it ended at the sea.
16:6	Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.
16:7	ItThen it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.
17:2	So the lot was made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families: for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem, and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these were the male descendants of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
17:3	However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
17:4	They cameapproached near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the leaders, saying, “The Lord commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers.” So accordingin toaccordance with the command of the Lord he gave them an inheritance among their father’s brothers.
17:5	ThusSo there fell ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan,
17:9	TheAnd the border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook, and it ended at the sea.
17:11	In Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns,; the third is Napheth.
17:12	But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites persisted in living in thatthis land.
17:13	ItAnd it came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.
17:14	Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me only one lot and one portion foras an inheritance, sincethough I am a numerous people whom the Lord has thusblessed farup blessedto this point?”
17:15	And Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
17:16	The sons of Joseph then said, “The hill country is not enough for us, andbut all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have iron chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth-shean and its towns and those who are in the valleyValley of Jezreel.”
17:17	But Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,
17:18	but the hill country shall be yours. For though it is a forest, you shall clear it, and to its farthest borders it shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, even though they have iron chariots of iron and though they are strong.”
18:1	Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
18:2	ThereBut there remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes who had not divided their inheritance.
18:4	Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe so that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall return to me.
18:5	TheyAnd they shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.
18:6	YouAnd you shall describewrite a description of the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. Then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord our God.
18:7	For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. Gad, and Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh also have received their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.”
18:8	Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describewrite a description of the land, saying, “Go and walk through the land and describewrite a description of it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the Lord in Shiloh.”
18:9	So the men went and passed through the land, and describedwrote a description of it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua toat the camp at Shiloh.
18:10	And Joshua then cast lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there Joshua divided the land tofor the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
18:13	FromThen from there the border continued to Luz, to the side of Luz (that is, Bethel) southward; and the border went down to Ataroth-addar, near the hill which lies on the south of lower Beth-horon.
18:14	TheAnd the border extendedchanged direction from there and turned roundaround on the west side southward, from the hill which lies beforeopposite Beth-horon southward; and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.
18:16	TheThen the border went down to the edge of the hill which is in the valleyValley of Ben-hinnom, which is in the valleyValley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to the valleyValley of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite southward, and went down to En-rogel.
18:17	ItThen extendedit turned northward and went to En-shemesh, and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
18:18	ItAnd it continued to the side in front of the Arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.
18:19	TheThen the border continued to the side of Beth-hoglah northward; and the border ended at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southsouthern border.
18:20	Moreover, the Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to their families, and according to its borders all around.
18:21	Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Beth-hoglah, and Emek-keziz,
18:22	and Beth-arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
18:23	and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
18:24	and Chephar-ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities with their villages.
18:25	Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
18:26	and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
18:27	and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

21:44	And the Lord gave them rest on every side, accordingin toaccordance allwith everything that He had sworn to their fathers, and no one of all their enemies stood before them; the Lord gavehanded all their enemies intoover theirto handthem.
21:45	Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; alleverything came to pass.
22:1	Then Joshua summoned the Reubenites and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
22:3	You have not forsakenabandoned your brothers these many days to this day, but have keptfulfilled the chargeobligation of the commandment of the Lord your God.
22:5	Only be very careful to observefollow the commandment and the lawLaw which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, to love the Lord your God and walk in all His ways, and keep His commandments and holdcling fast to Him, and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
22:7	Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave a possession among their brothers westward beyond the Jordan. So when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he also blessed them,
22:8	and said to them, “Return to your tents with great riches and with very muchmany livestock, with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and with very many clothes; divide the spoilspoils of your enemies with your brothers.”
22:9	TheSo the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home, andleaving departed from the sons of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession in which they had possessedsettled, accordingin toaccordance with the command of the Lord through Moses.
22:10	When they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a large altar in appearance.
22:11	AndBut the sons of Israel heard ita said,report: “Behold, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the region of the Jordan, on the side belonging to the sons of Israel.”
22:12	WhenAnd when the sons of Israel heard ofabout it, the wholeentire congregation of the sons of Israel gatheredassembled themselves at Shiloh to go up against them in warbattle.
22:13	Then the sons of Israel sent to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, intoin the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
22:14	and with him ten chiefsleaders, one chiefleader for each father’s household from each of the tribes of Israel; and each one of them was the head of his father’s household among the thousands of Israel.
22:15	They came to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, toin the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
22:16	“ThusThis saysis what the whole congregation of the Lord, says: ‘What is this unfaithful act which you have committed against the God of Israel, turning away from following the Lord this day, by building yourselves an altar, to rebel against the Lord this day?
22:17	Is not the iniquitywrongdoing of Peor not enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although a plague came on the congregation of the Lord,
22:18	that you must turn away this day from following the Lord? If you rebel against the Lord today, He will be angry with the wholeentire congregation of Israel tomorrow.
22:19	If, however, the land of your possession is unclean, then cross into the land of the possession of the Lord, where the Lord’s tabernacle stands, and takesettle possession among us. Only do not rebel against the Lord, or rebel against us, by building an altar for yourselves, besides the altar of the Lord our God.
22:20	Did not Achan the son of Zerah not act unfaithfully in the things underdesignated thefor bandestruction, and wrath fall on all the entire congregation of Israel? AndSo that man did not perish alone in his iniquityguilt.’ ”
22:21	Then the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered and spoke to the heads of the families of Israel.
22:22	“The Mighty One, God, the Lord, the Mighty One, God, the Lord! He knows, and may Israel itself know. If it was in rebellion, or if in an unfaithful act against the Lord, do not save us this day!
22:23	If we have built us an altar to turn away from following the Lord, or if to offer a burnt offering or grain offering on it, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings on it, may the Lord Himself requiredemand it.
22:26	“Therefore we said, ‘Let’s us build an altar, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice;
22:27	rather, it shall be a witness between us and you and between our generations after us, that we are to perform the service of the Lord before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings, so that your sons will not say to our sons in time to come, “You have no portion in the Lord.” ’
22:28	Therefore we said, ‘It shall also come about if they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, then we shall say, “See the copy of the altar of the Lord which our fathers made, not for burnt offering or for sacrifice; rather, it is a witness between us and you.” ’
22:29	Far be it from us that we should rebel against the Lord and turn away from following the Lord this day, by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the Lord our God which is before His tabernacle.”
22:30	So when Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the congregation, eventhat is, the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.
22:31	And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is in our midst, because you have not committed this unfaithful act against the Lord; now you have deliveredsaved the sons of Israel from the hand of the Lord.”
22:33	The word pleased the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel blessed God; and they did not speak of going up against them in warbattle to destroy the land in which the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad were living.
22:34	TheAnd the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar Witness; “For,” they said, “it is a witness between us that the Lord is God.”
23:2	that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and their heads, and their judges, and their officers, and said to them, “I am old, advanced in years.
23:4	See, I have apportioned to you these nations which remain as an inheritance for your tribes, with all the nations which I have cut offeliminated, from the Jordan even to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sunwest.
23:5	TheAnd the Lord your God, He will thrust them outaway from before you and drive them from before you; and you will possesstake possession of their land, just as the Lord your God promised you.
23:6	Be very firmdetermined, then, to keep and do alleverything that is written in the bookBook of the lawLaw of Moses, so that you maywill not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,
23:7	so that you will not associate with these nations, these which remain amongwith you, or mention the name of their gods, or make anyone swear by them, or serve them, or bow down to them.
23:9	For the Lord has driven out great and strongmighty nations from before you; and as for you, no manone has stood beforeagainst you to this day.
23:11	So take diligentgreat heedcare tofor yourselves tothat you love the Lord your God.
23:12	For if you ever go back and cling to the rest of these nations, these which remain amongwith you, and intermarry with them, so that you associate with them and they with you,
23:13	know with certainty that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations out from before you; but they will be a snare and a trap to you, and a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
23:14	“Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you has failed; they all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed.
23:15	ItBut shallit will come about that just as all the good words which the Lord your God spoke to you have come upon you, so the Lord will bring upon you all the threatswarnings, until He has destroyedeliminated you from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
23:16	When you transgressviolate the covenant of the Lord your God, which He commanded you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, then the anger of the Lord will burn against you, and you will perish quickly from off the good land which He has given you.”
24:1	Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel toat Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and their judges, and their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
24:2	Joshua said to all the people, “ThusThis saysis what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘From ancient times your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates River, namely, Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they served other gods.
24:3	Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates River, and led him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and gave him Isaac.
24:4	To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau, and to Esau I gave Mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.
24:6	So I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and Egypt pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
24:8	Then I brought you into the land of the Amorites, who lived beyond the Jordan, and they fought with you; andbut I gavehanded them intoover yourto handyou, and you took possession of their land when I destroyedeliminated them before you.
24:9	Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, aroserose up and fought against Israel, and he sent messengers and summoned Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.
24:10	But I was not willing to listen to Balaam. So he had to bless you, and I deliveredsaved you from his hand.
24:11	You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho; and the citizens of Jericho fought against you, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. ThusTherefore I gavehanded them intoover yourto handyou.
24:12	Then I sent the hornet before you and it drove out the two kings of the Amorites from before you, but —not by your sword ornor your bow.
24:13	And I gave you a land on which you had not labored, and cities which you had not built, and you have lived in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.’
24:14	“Now, therefore, fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and truth; and putdo away with the gods which your fathers served beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
24:15	IfBut if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, which were beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
24:16	The people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we shouldwould forsakeabandon the Lord to serve other gods;
24:17	for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondageslaves, and who did these great signs in our sight and preservedwatched over us through all the way in which we went and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed.
24:19	Then Joshua said to the people, “You will not be able to serve the Lord, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressionwrongdoing or your sins.
24:20	If you forsakeabandon the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consumedestroy you after He has done good to you.”
24:21	TheAnd the people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the Lord.”
24:22	So Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the Lord, to serve Him.” And they said, “We are witnesses.”
24:23	“Now thereforethen, putdo away with the foreign gods which are in your midst, and incline your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”
24:24	TheAnd the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and we will obey His voice.”
24:26	And Joshua wrote these words in the bookBook of the lawLaw of God; and he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the Lord.
24:27	Then Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be for a witness against us, forbecause it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us; thusso it shall be for a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God.”
24:29	ItNow it came about after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one110 hundred and ten years old.
24:30	And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance, in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.
24:31	Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, and had known allevery thedeed deeds of the Lord which He had done for Israel.
24:32	Now they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the pieceplot of groundland which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for onea hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph’s sons.
24:33	And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him at Gibeah, the town of Phinehas his son Phinehas, which was given to him in the hill country of Ephraim.
