Joshua:1:1 @ After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister,
rsv@Joshua:1:9 @ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; be not frightened, neither be dismayed; for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
rsv@Joshua:1:11 @ "Pass through the camp, and command the people, `Prepare your provisions; for within three days you are to pass over this Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land which the LORD your God gives you to possess.'"
rsv@Joshua:1:13 @ "Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, `The LORD your God is providing you a place of rest, and will give you this land.'
rsv@Joshua:1:15 @ until the LORD gives rest to your brethren as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land which the LORD your God is giving them; then you shall return to the land of your possession, and shall possess it, the land which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise."
rsv@Joshua:1:17 @ Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the LORD your God be with you, as he was with Moses!
rsv@Joshua:2:9 @ and said to the men, "I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
rsv@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
rsv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no courage left in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God is he who is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.
rsv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now then, swear to me by the LORD that as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father's house, and give me a sure sign,
rsv@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men said to her, "Our life for yours! If you do not tell this business of ours, then we will deal kindly and faithfully with you when the LORD gives us the land."
rsv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, "Truly the LORD has given all the land into our hands; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land are fainthearted because of us."
rsv@Joshua:3:3 @ and commanded the people, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it,
rsv@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you."
rsv@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
rsv@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said to the people of Israel, "Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God."
rsv@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is to pass over before you into the Jordan.
rsv@Joshua:3:13 @ And when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be stopped from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap."
rsv@Joshua:3:17 @ And while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.
rsv@Joshua:4:1 @ When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
rsv@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them, "Pass on before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up each of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel,
rsv@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel a memorial for ever."
rsv@Joshua:4:8 @ And the men of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, as the LORD told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
rsv@Joshua:4:10 @ For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to tell the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people passed over in haste;
rsv@Joshua:4:11 @ and when all the people had finished passing over, the ark of the LORD and the priests passed over before the people.
rsv@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before the LORD for battle, to the plains of Jericho.
rsv@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they had stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.
rsv@Joshua:4:15 @ And the LORD said to Joshua,
rsv@Joshua:4:18 @ And when the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks, as before.
rsv@Joshua:4:23 @ For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over,
rsv@Joshua:4:24 @ so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty; that you may fear the LORD your God for ever."
rsv@Joshua:5:1 @ When all the kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites that were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the people of Israel.
rsv@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives and circumcise the people of Israel again the second time."
rsv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the people of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the LORD; to them the LORD swore that he would not let them see the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
rsv@Joshua:5:9 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." And so the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.
rsv@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, "No; but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, "What does my lord bid his servant?"
rsv@Joshua:5:15 @ And the commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, "Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.
rsv@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have given into your hand Jericho, with its king and mighty men of valor.
rsv@Joshua:6:6 @ So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."
rsv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, "Go forward; march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD."
rsv@Joshua:6:8 @ And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD following them.
rsv@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp.
rsv@Joshua:6:12 @ Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:6:13 @ And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD passed on, blowing the trumpets continually; and the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets blew continually.
rsv@Joshua:6:16 @ And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout; for the LORD has given you the city.
rsv@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
rsv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the LORD; they shall go into the treasury of the LORD."
rsv@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burned the city with fire, and all within it; only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:6:26 @ Joshua laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, "Cursed before the LORD be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his first-born shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
rsv@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
rsv@Joshua:7:1 @ But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things; for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things; and the anger of the LORD burned against the people of Israel.
rsv@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads.
rsv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord GOD, why hast thou brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan!
rsv@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!
rsv@Joshua:7:10 @ The LORD said to Joshua, "Arise, why have you thus fallen upon your face?
rsv@Joshua:7:13 @ Up, sanctify the people, and say, `Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the LORD, God of Israel, "There are devoted things in the midst of you, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies, until you take away the devoted things from among you."
rsv@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes; and the tribe which the LORD takes shall come near by families; and the family which the LORD takes shall come near by households; and the household which the LORD takes shall come near man by man.
rsv@Joshua:7:15 @ And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done a shameful thing in Israel.'"
rsv@Joshua:7:19 @ Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and render praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me."
rsv@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, "Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did:
rsv@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the people of Israel; and they laid them down before the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, "Why did you bring trouble on us? The LORD brings trouble on you today." And all Israel stoned him with stones; they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
rsv@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day; then the LORD turned from his burning anger. Therefore to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.
rsv@Joshua:8:1 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear or be dismayed; take all the fighting men with you, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, his city, and his land;
rsv@Joshua:8:7 @ then you shall rise up from the ambush, and seize the city; for the LORD your God will give it into your hand.
rsv@Joshua:8:8 @ And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the LORD has bidden; see, I have commanded you."
rsv@Joshua:8:18 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand." And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
rsv@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as their booty, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
rsv@Joshua:8:30 @ Then Joshua built an altar in Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,
rsv@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the people of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, "an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man has lifted an iron tool"; and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
rsv@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, sojourner as well as homeborn, with their elders and officers and their judges, stood on opposite sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, half of them in front of Mount Ger'izim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
rsv@Joshua:9:9 @ They said to him, "From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of the LORD your God; for we have heard a report of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
rsv@Joshua:9:14 @ So the men partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:9:18 @ But the people of Israel did not kill them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.
rsv@Joshua:9:19 @ But all the leaders said to all the congregation, "We have sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we may not touch them.
rsv@Joshua:9:24 @ They answered Joshua, "Because it was told to your servants for a certainty 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 from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.
rsv@Joshua:9:27 @ But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD, to continue to this day, in the place which he should choose.
rsv@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you."
rsv@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD threw them into a panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-hor'on, and smote them as far as Aze'kah and Makke'dah.
rsv@Joshua:10:11 @ And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor'on, the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze'kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword.
rsv@Joshua:10:12 @ Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Ai'jalon."
rsv@Joshua:10:14 @ There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel.
rsv@Joshua:10:19 @ but do not stay there yourselves, pursue your enemies, fall upon their rear, do not let them enter their cities; for the LORD your God has given them into your hand."
rsv@Joshua:10:25 @ And Joshua said to them, "Do not be afraid or dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus the LORD will do to all your enemies against whom you fight."
rsv@Joshua:10:30 @ and the LORD gave it also and its king into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it; he left none remaining in it; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
rsv@Joshua:10:32 @ and the LORD gave Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and every person in it, as he had done to Libnah.
rsv@Joshua:10:40 @ So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
rsv@Joshua:10:42 @ And Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
rsv@Joshua:11:6 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire."
rsv@Joshua:11:8 @ And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Mis'rephoth-ma'im, and eastward as far as the valley of Mizpeh; and they smote them, until they left none remaining.
rsv@Joshua:11:9 @ And Joshua did to them as the LORD bade him; he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
rsv@Joshua:11:12 @ And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took, and smote them with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.
rsv@Joshua:11:15 @ As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
rsv@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was the LORD's doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be utterly destroyed, and should receive no mercy but be exterminated, as the LORD commanded Moses.
rsv@Joshua:11:23 @ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.
rsv@Joshua:12:6 @ Moses, the servant of the LORD, and the people of Israel defeated them; and Moses the servant of the LORD gave their land for a possession to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh.
rsv@Joshua:13:1 @ Now Joshua was old and advanced in years; and the LORD said to him, "You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to be possessed.
rsv@Joshua:13:8 @ With the other half of the tribe of Manas'seh the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them:
rsv@Joshua:13:14 @ To the tribe of Levi alone Moses gave no inheritance; the offerings by fire to the LORD God of Israel are their inheritance, as he said to him.
rsv@Joshua:13:33 @ But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance; the LORD God of Israel is their inheritance, as he said to them.
rsv@Joshua:14:2 @ Their inheritance was by lot, as the LORD had commanded Moses for the nine and one-half tribes.
rsv@Joshua:14:5 @ The people of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses; they allotted the land.
rsv@Joshua:14:6 @ Then the people of Judah came to Joshua at Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Jephun'neh the Ken'izzite said to him, "You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God in Ka'desh-bar'nea concerning you and me.
rsv@Joshua:14:7 @ I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Ka'desh-bar'nea to spy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
rsv@Joshua:14:8 @ But my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the LORD my God.
rsv@Joshua:14:9 @ And Moses swore on that day, saying, `Surely the land on which your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance for you and your children for ever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.'
rsv@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years since the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, lo, I am this day eighty-five years old.
rsv@Joshua:14:12 @ So now give me this hill country of which the LORD spoke on that day; for you heard on that day how the Anakim were there, with great fortified cities: it may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the LORD said."
rsv@Joshua:14:14 @ So Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephun'neh the Ken'izzite to this day, because he wholly followed the LORD, the God of Israel.
rsv@Joshua:15:13 @ According to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, he gave to Caleb the son of Jephun'neh a portion among the people of Judah, Kir'iath-ar'ba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).
rsv@Joshua:17:4 @ They came before Elea'zar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the leaders, and said, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance along with our brethren." So according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
rsv@Joshua:17:14 @ And the tribe of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me but one lot and one portion as an inheritance, although I am a numerous people, since hitherto the LORD has blessed me?"
rsv@Joshua:18:3 @ So Joshua said to the people of Israel, "How long will you be slack to go in and take possession of the land, which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
rsv@Joshua:18:6 @ And you shall describe the land in seven divisions and bring the description here to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
rsv@Joshua:18:7 @ The Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and half the tribe of Manas'seh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them."
rsv@Joshua:18:8 @ So the men started on their way; and Joshua charged those who went to write the description of the land, saying, "Go up and down and write a description of the land, and come again to me; and I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."
rsv@Joshua:18:10 @ and Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD; and there Joshua apportioned the land to the people of Israel, to each his portion.
rsv@Joshua:19:50 @ By command of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, Tim'nath-se'rah in the hill country of E'phraim; and he rebuilt the city, and settled in it.
rsv@Joshua:19:51 @ These are the inheritances which Elea'zar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the people of Israel distributed by lot at Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.
rsv@Joshua:20:1 @ Then the LORD said to Joshua,
rsv@Joshua:21:2 @ and they said to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, "The LORD commanded through Moses that we be given cities to dwell in, along with their pasture lands for our cattle."
rsv@Joshua:21:3 @ So by command of the LORD the people of Israel gave to the Levites the following cities and pasture lands out of their inheritance.
rsv@Joshua:21:8 @ These cities and their pasture lands the people of Israel gave by lot to the Levites, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
rsv@Joshua:21:43 @ Thus the LORD gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give to their fathers; and having taken possession of it, they settled there.
rsv@Joshua:21:44 @ And the LORD gave them rest on every side just as he had sworn to their fathers; not one of all their enemies had withstood them, for the LORD had given all their enemies into their hands.
rsv@Joshua:21:45 @ Not one of all the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass.
rsv@Joshua:22:2 @ and said to them, "You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I have commanded you;
rsv@Joshua:22:3 @ you have not forsaken your brethren these many days, down to this day, but have been careful to keep the charge of the LORD your God.
rsv@Joshua:22:4 @ And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brethren, as he promised them; therefore turn and go to your home in the land where your possession lies, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
rsv@Joshua:22:5 @ Take good care to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
rsv@Joshua:22:9 @ So the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manas'seh returned home, parting from the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, their own land of which they had possessed themselves by command of the LORD through Moses.
rsv@Joshua:22:16 @ "Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, `What is this treachery which you have committed against the God of Israel in turning away this day from following the LORD, by building yourselves an altar this day in rebellion against the LORD?
rsv@Joshua:22:17 @ Have we not had enough of the sin at Pe'or from which even yet we have not cleansed ourselves, and for which there came a plague upon the congregation of the LORD,
rsv@Joshua:22:18 @ that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? And if you rebel against the LORD today he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel tomorrow.
rsv@Joshua:22:19 @ But now, if your land is unclean, pass over into the LORD's land where the LORD's tabernacle stands, and take for yourselves a possession among us; only do not rebel against the LORD, or make us as rebels by building yourselves an altar other than the altar of the LORD our God.
rsv@Joshua:22:22 @ "The Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows; and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith toward the LORD, spare us not today
rsv@Joshua:22:23 @ for building an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or cereal offerings or peace offerings on it, may the LORD himself take vengeance.
rsv@Joshua:22:24 @ Nay, but we did it from fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, `What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?
rsv@Joshua:22:25 @ For the LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, you Reubenites and Gadites; you have no portion in the LORD.' So your children might make our children cease to worship the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:22:27 @ but to be a witness between us and you, and between the generations after us, that we do perform the service of the LORD in his presence with our burnt offerings and sacrifices and peace offerings; lest your children say to our children in time to come, "You have no portion in the LORD."'
rsv@Joshua:22:28 @ And we thought, If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we should say, `Behold the copy of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifice, but to be a witness between us and you.'
rsv@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD by building an altar for burnt offering, cereal offering, or sacrifice, other than the altar of the LORD our God that stands before his tabernacle!"
rsv@Joshua:22:31 @ And Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest said to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the Manas'sites, "Today we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this treachery against the LORD; now you have saved the people of Israel from the hand of the LORD."
rsv@Joshua:22:34 @ The Reubenites and the Gadites called the altar Witness; "For," said they, "it is a witness between us that the LORD is God."
rsv@Joshua:23:1 @ A long time afterward, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years,
rsv@Joshua:23:3 @ and you have seen all that the LORD your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for it is the LORD your God who has fought for you.
rsv@Joshua:23:5 @ The LORD your God will push them back before you, and drive them out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as the LORD your God promised you.
rsv@Joshua:23:8 @ but cleave to the LORD your God as you have done to this day.
rsv@Joshua:23:9 @ For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, no man has been able to withstand you to this day.
rsv@Joshua:23:10 @ One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD your God who fights for you, as he promised you.
rsv@Joshua:23:11 @ Take good heed to yourselves, therefore, to love the LORD your God.
rsv@Joshua:23:13 @ know assuredly that the LORD your God will not continue to drive out these nations before you; but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a scourge on your sides, and thorns in your eyes, till you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.
rsv@Joshua:23:14 @ "And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed.
rsv@Joshua:23:15 @ But just as all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so the LORD will bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you,
rsv@Joshua:23:16 @ if you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you."
rsv@Joshua:24:2 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, `Your fathers lived of old beyond the Euphra'tes, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods.
rsv@Joshua:24:7 @ And when they cried to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did to Egypt; and you lived in the wilderness a long time.
rsv@Joshua:24:14 @ "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:24:15 @ And if you be unwilling to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
rsv@Joshua:24:16 @ Then the people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
rsv@Joshua:24:17 @ for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed;
rsv@Joshua:24:18 @ and the LORD drove out before us all the peoples, the Amorites who lived in the land; therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is our God."
rsv@Joshua:24:19 @ But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve the LORD; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins.
rsv@Joshua:24:20 @ If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after having done you good."
rsv@Joshua:24:21 @ And the people said to Joshua, "Nay; but we will serve the LORD."
rsv@Joshua:24:22 @ Then Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD, to serve him." And they said, "We are witnesses."
rsv@Joshua:24:23 @ He said, "Then put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel."
rsv@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve, and his voice we will obey."
rsv@Joshua:24:26 @ And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak in the sanctuary of the LORD.
rsv@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us; therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God."
rsv@Joshua:24:29 @ After these things Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
rsv@Joshua:24:31 @ And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua and had known all the work which the LORD did for Israel.
rsv@Judges:1:1 @ After the death of Joshua the people of Israel inquired of the LORD,of "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"
rsv@Judges:1:2 @ The LORD said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand."
rsv@Judges:1:4 @ Then Judah went up and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Per'izzites into their hand; and they defeated ten thousand of them at Bezek.
rsv@Judges:1:19 @ And the LORD was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain, because they had chariots of iron.
rsv@Judges:1:22 @ The house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and the LORD was with them.
rsv@Judges:2:1 @ Now the angel of the LORD went up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, "I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you into the land which I swore to give to your fathers. I said, `I will never break my covenant with you,

rsv@Judges:2:5 @ And they called the name of that place Bochim; and they sacrificed there to the LORD.
rsv@Judges:2:7 @ And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work which the LORD had done for Israel.
rsv@Judges:2:8 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of one hundred and ten years.
rsv@Judges:2:10 @ And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who did not know the LORD or the work which he had done for Israel.
rsv@Judges:2:11 @ And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Ba'als;
rsv@Judges:2:12 @ and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; they went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were round about them, and bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.
rsv@Judges:2:13 @ They forsook the LORD, and served the Ba'als and the Ash'taroth.
rsv@Judges:2:14 @ So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them; and he sold them into the power of their enemies round about, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies.
rsv@Judges:2:15 @ Whenever they marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had warned, and as the LORD had sworn to them; and they were in sore straits.
rsv@Judges:2:16 @ Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the power of those who plundered them.
rsv@Judges:2:17 @ And yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the harlot after other gods and bowed down to them; they soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the LORD, and they did not do so.
rsv@Judges:2:18 @ Whenever the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them.
rsv@Judges:2:20 @ So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed my voice,
rsv@Judges:2:22 @ that by them I may test Israel, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the LORD as their fathers did, or not."
rsv@Judges:2:23 @ So the LORD left those nations, not driving them out at once, and he did not give them into the power of Joshua.
rsv@Judges:3:1 @ Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to test Israel by them, that is, all in Israel who had no experience of any war in Canaan;
rsv@Judges:3:3 @ These are the nations: the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sido'nians, and the Hivites who dwelt on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Ba'al-her'mon as far as the entrance of Hamath.
rsv@Judges:3:4 @ They were for the testing of Israel, to know whether Israel would obey the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by Moses.
rsv@Judges:3:7 @ And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, forgetting the LORD their God, and serving the Ba'als and the Ashe'roth.
rsv@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cu'shan-rishatha'im king of Mesopota'mia; and the people of Israel served Cu'shan-rishatha'im eight years.
rsv@Judges:3:9 @ But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the people of Israel, who delivered them, Oth'ni-el the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
rsv@Judges:3:10 @ The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; he went out to war, and the LORD gave Cu'shan-rishatha'im king of Mesopota'mia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cu'shan-rishatha'im.
rsv@Judges:3:12 @ And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done what was evil in the sight of the LORD.
rsv@Judges:3:15 @ But when the people of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up for them a deliverer, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. The people of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the king of Moab.
rsv@Judges:3:25 @ And they waited till they were utterly at a loss; but when he still did not open the doors of the roof chamber, they took the key and opened them; and there lay their lord dead on the floor.
rsv@Judges:3:28 @ And he said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has given your enemies the Moabites into your hand." So they went down after him, and seized the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and allowed not a man to pass over.
rsv@Judges:4:1 @ And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud died.
rsv@Judges:4:2 @ And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the commander of his army was Sis'era, who dwelt in Haro'sheth-ha-goiim.
rsv@Judges:4:3 @ Then the people of Israel cried to the LORD for help; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.
rsv@Judges:4:6 @ She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abin'o-am from Kedesh in Naph'tali, and said to him, "The LORD, the God of Israel, commands you, `Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking ten thousand from the tribe of Naph'tali and the tribe of Zeb'ulun.
rsv@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the LORD will sell Sis'era into the hand of a woman." Then Deb'orah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
rsv@Judges:4:14 @ And Deb'orah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sis'era into your hand. Does not the LORD go out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
rsv@Judges:4:15 @ And the LORD routed Sis'era and all his chariots and all his army before Barak at the edge of the sword; and Sis'era alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.
rsv@Judges:4:18 @ And Ja'el came out to meet Sis'era, and said to him, "Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; have no fear." So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

rsv@Judges:6:8 @ the LORD sent a prophet to the people of Israel; and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: I led you up from Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage;

rsv@Judges:6:11 @ Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the oak at Ophrah, which belonged to Jo'ash the Abiez'rite, as his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the wine press, to hide it from the Mid'ianites.
rsv@Judges:6:12 @ And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, "The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor."
rsv@Judges:6:13 @ And Gideon said to him, "Pray, sir, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this befallen us?

rsv@Judges:6:14 @ And the LORD turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours and deliver Israel from the hand of Mid'ian; do not I send you?"

rsv@Judges:6:16 @ And the LORD said to him, "But I will be with you, and you shall smite the Mid'ianites as one man."
rsv@Judges:6:21 @ Then the angel of the LORD reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and there sprang up fire from the rock and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.

rsv@Judges:6:23 @ But the LORD said to him, "Peace be to you; do not fear, you shall not die."
rsv@Judges:6:24 @ Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD, and called it, The LORD is peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiez'rites.
rsv@Judges:6:25 @ That night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Ba'al which your father has, and cut down the Ashe'rah that is beside it;
rsv@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order; then take the second bull, and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Ashe'rah which you shall cut down."
rsv@Judges:6:27 @ So Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had told him; but because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.
rsv@Judges:6:34 @ But the Spirit of the LORD took possession of Gideon; and he sounded the trumpet, and the Abiez'rites were called out to follow him.
rsv@Judges:7:2 @ The LORD said to Gideon, "The people with you are too many for me to give the Mid'ianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, `My own hand has delivered me.'

rsv@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water; and the LORD said to Gideon, "Every one that laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself; likewise every one that kneels down to drink."
