rotherham@Joshua:1:1 @ And it came to pass, after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh, that Yahweh spake unto Joshua son of Nun, the attendant of Moses, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses my servant, is dead, Now, therefore, arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, into the land which I am giving unto themunto the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:1:4 @ From the desert and this Lebanon, even unto the great riverthe river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea, toward the going in of the sun, shall be your boundary.

rotherham@Joshua:1:6 @ Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers, to give unto them.

rotherham@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest.

rotherham@Joshua:1:8 @ This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein, for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.

rotherham@Joshua:1:10 @ So then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:1:11 @ Pass ye through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying: Make ready for yourselves, provisions, for, in three days more, are ye to pass over this Jordan, to go in and possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, to possess.

rotherham@Joshua:1:12 @ And, unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, and unto the half tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:1:13 @ Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, Yahweh your God, is granting you rest, and doth give you this land.

rotherham@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses hath given you over the Jordan, but, ye, shall pass over, armed, before your brethren, all ye mighty men of valour, and shall help them;

rotherham@Joshua:1:15 @ until that Yahweh shall grant rest unto your brethren, as unto you, so shall, they also, possess the land which Yahweh your God giveth them, then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh hath given you over the Jordan, towards the rising of the sun.

rotherham@Joshua:1:16 @ Then responded they to Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us, will we do, and, whithersoever thou shalt send us, will we go:

rotherham@Joshua:1:17 @ As in every thing we hearkened unto Moses, so, will we hearken unto thee, only let Yahweh thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

rotherham@Joshua:1:18 @ Any man who shall rebel against thy bidding, and not hearken unto thy words in all that thou shalt command him, shall be put to death, only be firm and bold.

rotherham@Joshua:2:1 @ Then did Joshua son of Nun, send out from The Acacias, two men to spy out silently, saying, Go view the land, and Jericho. So they came, and entered the house of a harlot, whose name was Rahab, and lay there.

rotherham@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Lo! men, have come in hither to-night of the sons of Israel to search out the land.

rotherham@Joshua:2:3 @ So the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come in unto thee who have entered thy house, for, to search out all the land, have they come.

rotherham@Joshua:2:4 @ And the woman took the two men and hid them, and said: Even so, the men did come in unto me, but I knew not from whence they were;

rotherham@Joshua:2:5 @ and it came to pass, as the gate was about to be shut in the darkness, that, the men, went out, I know not whither the men went, pursue them quickly for ye shall overtake them.

rotherham@Joshua:2:6 @ But, she, had taken them up to the roof, and concealed them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order for herself upon the roof.

rotherham@Joshua:2:7 @ So, the men, pursued them by way of the Jordan unto the fords, the gate being shut as soon as they who pursued them had gone forth.

rotherham@Joshua:2:9 @ and said unto the men, I know that Yahweh hath given unto you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before you.

rotherham@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how Yahweh, dried up, the waters of the Red Sea from before you, when ye came forth out of Egypt, and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan unto Sihon and unto Og, whom ye devoted to destruction;

rotherham@Joshua:2:11 @ and, when we heard, then did our heart melt, and there rose up no longer any spirit in any man because of you, for, as for Yahweh your God, he, is Godin the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.

rotherham@Joshua:2:12 @ Now, therefore I pray you, swear unto me by Yahweh, since I have dealt with you in lovingkindness, that, ye also, will deal with the house of my father in lovingkindness, and will give me a token of faithfulness,

rotherham@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men said unto her, Our souls in your stead unto death, if ye utter not this our business, so shall it be, when Yahweh shall give us the land, that we will deal with thee in lovingkindness and in faithfulness.

rotherham@Joshua:2:15 @ And she let them down with a cord through the window, for, her house, was within the wall of the rampart, and, within the rampart, she was dwelling.

rotherham@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said unto them To the mountain, get you, lest the pursuers, fall in, with you, and hide yourselves there, three days until the pursuers return, and, afterwards, shall ye go your way.

rotherham@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said unto her, Free, will we be from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear:

rotherham@Joshua:2:18 @ Lo! when we are coming into the land, this cord of crimson thread, must thou bind in the window by which thou didst let us down, and, thy father and thy mother and thy brethren and all the household of thy father, must thou gather together unto thee unto the house.

rotherham@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be, whosoever shall go forth out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood, shall be on his own head and, we, shall be free, but, whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood, shall be on our heads, if a, hand, be upon him.

rotherham@Joshua:2:20 @ Or, if thou utter this our business, then shall we be free from this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

rotherham@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said According to your words, so, shall it be. Thus sent she them away and they departed, and she bound the crimson cord in the window.

rotherham@Joshua:2:22 @ And they went and came into the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers had returned, so the pursuers, made search, throughout all the way, but found them not.

rotherham@Joshua:2:23 @ And the two men returned and came down out of the mountain, and crossed over and came unto Joshua, son of Nun, and recounted to him all that had befallen them;

rotherham@Joshua:2:24 @ and they said unto Joshua, Yahweh, hath delivered, into our hand all the land, moreover also all the inhabitants of the land, have melted away, from before us.

rotherham@Joshua:3:1 @ So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodged there before they passed over.

rotherham@Joshua:3:3 @ and commanded the people saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and, the priests the Levites, bearing it, ye also, shall break up out of your place, and come after it.

rotherham@Joshua:3:5 @ Then said Joshua unto the people, Hallow yourselves, for, to-morrow, will Yahweh do in your midst, wonderful things.

rotherham@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take ye up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant, and went on before the people.

rotherham@Joshua:3:7 @ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel, who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will be with thee.

rotherham@Joshua:3:8 @ Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand.

rotherham@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, Hereby, shall ye know, that a Living GOD is in your midst, and that he will, certainly dispossess, from before you, the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Hivite and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.

rotherham@Joshua:3:11 @ Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:3:13 @ and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, and shall stand in one mound.

rotherham@Joshua:3:14 @ And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan, with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

rotherham@Joshua:3:15 @ then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters, the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days of harvest,

rotherham@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which were coming down from above, stoodrose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failedwere cut off, and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:4:3 @ and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.

rotherham@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:

rotherham@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign in your midst, for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?

rotherham@Joshua:4:7 @ Then shall ye say unto them That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.

rotherham@Joshua:4:8 @ And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

rotherham@Joshua:4:9 @ Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, and they have remained there until this day.

rotherham@Joshua:4:10 @ Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, the people therefore hasted, and passed over.

rotherham@Joshua:4:11 @ And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.

rotherham@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.

rotherham@Joshua:4:15 @ Then spake Yahweh unto Joshua, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:17 @ So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.

rotherham@Joshua:4:19 @ So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:4:20 @ And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal.

rotherham@Joshua:4:21 @ Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, What mean these stones?

rotherham@Joshua:4:22 @ then shall ye let your sons know, saying, On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;

rotherham@Joshua:4:23 @ in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:

rotherham@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time, said Yahweh unto Joshua, Make thee knives of flint, and again circumcise the sons of Israel, a second time.

rotherham@Joshua:5:3 @ So Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the sons of Israel, at the Hill of Foreskins.

rotherham@Joshua:5:4 @ Now, this, is the cause why Joshua did circumcise, all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the desert, by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.

rotherham@Joshua:5:5 @ For, though all the people who came forth had been circumcised, yet, all the people who were born in the desert by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt, had they not circumcised.

rotherham@Joshua:5:6 @ Because, for forty years, did the sons of Israel journey in the desert, until all the nation who were men of war, who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not let them see the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers, that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

rotherham@Joshua:5:7 @ Their sons, therefore, whom he had raised up in their stead, them, did Joshua circumcise, for, uncircumcised, they were, in that they had not circumcised them by the way.

rotherham@Joshua:5:8 @ And so it came to pass, when they had made an end of circumcising all the nation, they remained in their place, in the camp, until they were healed.

rotherham@Joshua:5:10 @ Thus then the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the waste plains of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, while Joshua was at Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes, and looked, and lo! a man standing over against him, with his sword drawn, in his hand, so Joshua went unto him, and said to him, For us, art thou, or for our adversaries?

rotherham@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said Nay, but, I, as prince of the host of Yahweh, have, now, come. So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said unto him, What is my lord speaking unto his servant?

rotherham@Joshua:5:15 @ Then said the prince of the host of Yahweh unto Joshua Slip off thy sandals from thy feet, for, as for the place whereon thou art standing, holy, it is. And Joshua did so.

rotherham@Joshua:6:1 @ Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel, none came out and none went in.

rotherham@Joshua:6:2 @ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king, the mighty men of valour.

rotherham@Joshua:6:3 @ So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once, thus, shall thou do six days.

rotherham@Joshua:6:8 @ And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them.

rotherham@Joshua:6:9 @ And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns.

rotherham@Joshua:6:10 @ Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout.

rotherham@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

rotherham@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh;

rotherham@Joshua:6:13 @ and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns.

rotherham@Joshua:6:14 @ So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, thus, did they, six days.

rotherham@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

rotherham@Joshua:6:17 @ And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

rotherham@Joshua:6:18 @ But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it.

rotherham@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, when the horns were blown, yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city.

rotherham@Joshua:6:21 @ And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.

rotherham@Joshua:6:22 @ But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her.

rotherham@Joshua:6:23 @ So the young men the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brethren and all that she had, yea, all her kindred, brought they out, and set them outside the camp of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:6:24 @ But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein, save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.

rotherham@Joshua:6:25 @ And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors.

rotherham@Joshua:6:27 @ And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.

rotherham@Joshua:7:1 @ But the sons of Israel had committed an act of unfaithfulness in respect of what was devoted, for Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah had taken of what was devoted, and the anger of Yahweh had kindled against the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai which was beside Beth-aven on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them saying, Go up and spy out the land. So the men went up, and spied out Ai.

rotherham@Joshua:7:6 @ Then Joshua rent his clothes and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they lifted up dust upon their heads.

rotherham@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said Alas! My Lord Yahweh! Wherefore hast thou, brought, this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? Would then we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan!

rotherham@Joshua:7:9 @ Only let the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and they will surround us, and cut off our name out of the earth, what then wilt thou do for thy great name?

rotherham@Joshua:7:10 @ And Yahweh said unto Joshua Get thee up! wherefore is it that thou art lying upon thy face?

rotherham@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned, yea moreover they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, yea moreover they have taken of what was devoted, yea moreover they have stolen, yea moreover they have dissembled, yea moreover they have put it among their own goods.

rotherham@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore cannot the sons of Israel stand before their enemies, their back, do they turn before their enemies, because they have become devoted, I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the devoted thing out of your midst.

rotherham@Joshua:7:13 @ Up! hallow the people, and thou shalt say, Hallow yourselves by to-morrow, for, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel: A devoted thing, is in the midst of thee O Israel, Thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye have put away the devoted thing out of your midst.

rotherham@Joshua:7:14 @ Therefore shall ye be brought near in the morning by your tribes, and it shall be thatthe tribe which Yahweh shall seize, shall come near, by families, and the family which Yahweh shall seize, shall come near, by households, and the household which Yahweh shall seize, shall come near, man by man;

rotherham@Joshua:7:15 @ and it shall be, that He that is seized with the devoted thing, shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he hath wrought impiety in Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and, the tribe of Judah, was seized;

rotherham@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Of a truth, I, have sinned against Yahweh God of Israel, and, thus and thus, have I done:

rotherham@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoil a certain goodly mantle of Babylonia and two hundred shekels of silver and a certain wedge of goldfifty shekels the weight thereof, then I coveted them, then I took them, and, there they are, hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

rotherham@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent, and, there it was, hid in his tent, and, the silver, under it.

rotherham@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and poured them out before Yahweh.

rotherham@Joshua:8:1 @ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua Do not fear nor be dismayed, take with thee all the army, and arise, go up to Ai, see! I have given into thy hand, the king of Ai and his people, and his city, and his land;

rotherham@Joshua:8:2 @ so shalt thou do unto Ai and to her king, as thou didst unto Jericho unto her king, save only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof, shall ye take as your own prey, set thee an ambush for the city, behind it.

rotherham@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying See! ye, shall be lying in ambush against the city, behind the city, do not go very far from the city, so shall ye all be ready.

rotherham@Joshua:8:6 @ so will they come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, Fleeing before us, as at the first! therefore will we flee before them.

rotherham@Joshua:8:7 @ Then, ye, shall rise up out of the ambush, and take possession of the city, and Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

rotherham@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, when ye have seized the city, then shall ye burn the city with fire, according to the word of Yahweh, shall ye do, see! I have commanded you.

rotherham@Joshua:8:9 @ So Joshua sent them forth, and they went into ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai, but Joshua lodged that night in the midst of the people.

rotherham@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went uphe and the elders of Israel, before the people, to Ai.

rotherham@Joshua:8:11 @ And, all the people of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came in, right before the city, and pitched on the north of Ai, with, a valley, between them and Ai.

rotherham@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.

rotherham@Joshua:8:13 @ And, when the people had set all the host that was on the north of the city, with the rear thereof on the west of the city, then went Joshua, during the night, into the midst of the valley.

rotherham@Joshua:8:14 @ And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted, and rose up early, and the men of the city came out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at an appointed time, before the waste plain, he not knowing that there was an ambush lying in wait for him, behind the city.

rotherham@Joshua:8:16 @ and all the people who were in the city were called out to pursue them, and they pursued Joshua, and so were drawn out away from the city.

rotherham@Joshua:8:17 @ And there remained not a man, in Ai or Bethel, who had not gone out after Israel, and they left the city, open, and pursued Israel.

rotherham@Joshua:8:18 @ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua Stretch out with the javelin which is in thy hand, towards Ai, for, into thy hand, will I deliver it. So Joshua stretched out with the javelin which was in his hand, towards the city.

rotherham@Joshua:8:20 @ And the men of Ai turned behind them, and looked, and lo! the smoke of the city had risen up towards the heavens, and there was in them no strength, to flee this way or that way, moreover, the people that were fleeing to the wilderness, turned back upon the pursuers.

rotherham@Joshua:8:22 @ And, the others, came forth out of the city to meet them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side, and they smote them, until there was left them none to remain or to escape.

rotherham@Joshua:8:23 @ And, the king of Ai, they caught alive, and brought him near unto Joshua.

rotherham@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness whither they had pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, then all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

rotherham@Joshua:8:26 @ Now, Joshua, drew not back his hand which he had stretched out with the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

rotherham@Joshua:8:27 @ Nevertheless, the cattle and the spoil of that city, Israel took as their own prey, according to the word of Yahweh, which he commanded Joshua.

rotherham@Joshua:8:28 @ So then Joshua burned Ai, and made of it an age-abiding heapa desolation, until this day.

rotherham@Joshua:8:29 @ And, the king of Ai, hanged he on a tree until eventide, but, at the going in of the sun, Joshua gave command and they took down his dead body from the tree, and cast it in at the opening of the gate of the city, and raised up over it a great heap of stones

rotherham@Joshua:8:30 @ Than, built Joshua, an altar, unto Yahweh, God of Israel, in Mount Ebal:

rotherham@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, whereon had not been wielded any tool of iron, and they caused to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

rotherham@Joshua:8:32 @ Then wrote he there, upon the stones, a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the sons of Israel.

rotherham@Judges:7:3 @ Now, therefore, proclaim, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, saying, Whoso feareth and tremblethlet him turn and go hack from Mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty-two thousand, and, ten thousand, remained.

rotherham@Judges:7:5 @ So he took down the people unto the waters, and Yahweh said unto Gideon Every one that lappeth with his tongue of the water, as a dog lappeth, thou shalt set him by himself, likewise, every one that boweth down upon his knees, to drink.

rotherham@Judges:7:6 @ And so it was, that, the number of them that lapped with their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men, but, all the rest of the people, bowed down on their knees, to drink water.

rotherham@Judges:7:7 @ Then said Yahweh unto Gideon By the three hundred men that lapped, will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thy hand; and let, all the people, go every man to his own place.

rotherham@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took provisions in their hand, and their horns, but, every man of Israel besides, sent he away every man to his home, whereas, the three hundred men, he retained. Now, the camp of Midian, was beneath him in the vale.

rotherham@Judges:7:9 @ And it came to pass, on that night, that Yahweh said unto him, Arise! go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into thy hand.

rotherham@Judges:7:11 @ so shalt thou hear what they shall say, and, afterward, shall thy hands grow strong, and thou shalt go down against the camp. Then went he down, he and Purah his young man, unto the outmost part of the armed men that were in the camp.

rotherham@Judges:7:12 @ Now, the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east, were lying along in the vale, like locusts for multitude, their camels also, were without number, as the sand that is by the sea side, for multitude.

rotherham@Judges:7:14 @ Then responded his neighbour and said: Nothing else, is this, than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel, God hath delivered into his hand, both Midian and all the host.

rotherham@Judges:7:15 @ And it was so, when Gideon heard the story of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he bowed himself down, and returned unto the camp of Israel, and said Arise! for Yahweh hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.

rotherham@Judges:7:16 @ And he divided the three hundred men, into three companies, and put horns into the hands of them all, with empty pitchers, and torches inside the pitchers.

rotherham@Judges:7:17 @ Then he said unto them, On me, shall ye look, and, in like manner, shall ye do, and lo! when I am coming unto the outermost part of the camp, then shall it be, that, as I do, so, shall ye do.

rotherham@Judges:7:25 @ And they captured the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb at Orebs Rock, and, Zeeb, they slew at Zeebs Winepress, and pursued Midian, and, the heads of Oreb and Zeeb, brought they in unto Gideon at the ford of the Jordan.

rotherham@Judges:8:1 @ And the men of Ephraim said unto him What is this thing thou hast done to us, in not calling us, when thou wentest to fight with Midian? And they did chide with him, sharply.

rotherham@Judges:8:2 @ And he said unto them, What have I done, now, in comparison with you? Is not the grape-gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

rotherham@Judges:8:3 @ Into your hand, hath God delivered the princes of Midian Oreb and Zeeb, what then had I been able to do in comparison with you? Then, was their spirit softened toward him, when he had spoken this word.

rotherham@Judges:8:4 @ And Gideon came towards the Jordan, being about to pass overhe, and the three hundred men who were with him, faint yet pursuing.

rotherham@Judges:8:5 @ So he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread to the people that are following me; for, faint, they are, and, I, am in pursuit of Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.

rotherham@Judges:8:6 @ And the princes of Succoth said, Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thine army bread?

rotherham@Judges:8:7 @ And Gideon said, Therefore, when Yahweh hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my power, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with the nettles.

rotherham@Judges:8:8 @ So he went up from thence, to Penuel, and spake unto them in like manner, and the men of Penuel answered him, as had answered the men of Succoth.

rotherham@Judges:8:12 @ And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, then he pursued them, and captured the two kings of Midian Zebah and Zalmunna, and, all the host, put he in terror.

rotherham@Judges:8:14 @ and caught a young man, of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him, so he wrote down for him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, seventy-seven men.

rotherham@Judges:8:15 @ Then came he in unto the men of Succoth, and said, Lo! Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom ye did taunt me, saying Are the palms of the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thy power, that we should give to thy weary men bread?

rotherham@Judges:8:18 @ Then said he unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, What manner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? And they said, As thou art, so were they, each one, as handsome as the sons of a king.

rotherham@Judges:8:19 @ And he said: My brethren, sons of my mother, they were! As Yahweh liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not have slain you.

rotherham@Judges:8:24 @ And Gideon said unto them I would make to you a request, Give me, then, every man the nose-ring of his spoil. For they had, nose-rings of gold, for, Ishmaelites, they were.

rotherham@Judges:8:25 @ And they said, We will, freely give. So they spread out a mantle, and cast therein, every man the nose-ring of his spoil.

rotherham@Judges:8:26 @ And so it was, that the weight of the nose-rings of gold which he requested, was a thousand and seven hundred of gold, besides the crescents, and the pendants, and the raiment of purple that were upon the kings of Midian, and besides the ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.

rotherham@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made thereof an Ephod, and set it up in his own city, in Ophrah, and all Israel went unchastely astray after it there, so it became, to Gideon and to his house, a snare.

rotherham@Judges:9:3 @ So the brethren of his mother spake for him, in the ears of all the owners of Shechem, all these words, and their heart inclined after Abimelech, for they said Our own brother, is he.

rotherham@Judges:9:5 @ And he entered the house of his father, at Ophrah, and slew his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, upon one stone, but there remained Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, for he had hidden himself.

rotherham@Judges:9:6 @ Then were gathered together all the owners of Shechem, and all the house of Millo, and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar, that was in Shechem.

rotherham@Judges:9:53 @ And a certain woman cast an upper millstone upon the head of Abimelech, and brake in pieces his skull.

rotherham@Judges:9:54 @ Then called he hastily unto the young man bearing his armour, and said unto him Draw thy sword, and put me to death, lest they say of me, A woman, slew him! So his young man thrust him through, and he died.

rotherham@Judges:20:34 @ And there came over against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men, out of all Israel, and the battle was severe, they, not knowing that disaster was overtaking them.

rotherham@Judges:20:35 @ Thus Yahweh smote Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin, that day, twenty-five thousand and one hundred men, all these, drew the sword.

rotherham@Judges:20:36 @ So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were smitten, and that the men of Israel had given place to Benjamin, because they trusted to the liers in wait, whom they had set near Gibeah.

rotherham@Judges:20:37 @ And, the liers in wait, hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah, and the liers in wait marched forward, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

rotherham@Judges:20:38 @ Now, the appointed sign, between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, had been, to cause a great cloud of smoke to ascend out of the city.

rotherham@Judges:20:39 @ So, when the men of Israel turned in the battle, and, the Benjamites, began to smite and slay of the sons of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, Yea! they are, smitten, before us, as in the first battle,

rotherham@Judges:20:45 @ And, when they turned and fled towards the desert unto the cliff Rimmon, then gleaned they of them, in the highways, five thousand men, and they followed hard after them as far as Gidom, and smote of them, two thousand men.

rotherham@Judges:21:6 @ And the sons of Israel grieved for Benjamin, their brother, and they said, There is cut off, to-day, one tribe out of Israel.

rotherham@Judges:21:7 @ What are we to do for them who remain, for wives, seeing that, we ourselves, have sworn by Yahweh, not to give them of our daughters, for wives?

rotherham@Judges:21:13 @ Then the whole assembly sent, and spake unto the sons of Benjamin, who were in the cliff Rimmon, and proclaimed to them, peace.

rotherham@Judges:21:14 @ So Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead, but they found not for them, even so.

rotherham@Judges:21:15 @ Now, the assembly, had grieved for Benjamin, because Yahweh had made a breach, in the tribes of Israel.

rotherham@Judges:21:16 @ So then, the elders of the assembly said, What are we to do for them who remain, for wives, for womankind, hath been destroyed out of Benjamin?

rotherham@Judges:21:17 @ And they said, There is an inheritance for the escaped of Benjamin, and there must not be wiped out, a tribe, out of Israel.

rotherham@Judges:21:18 @ Yet, we, may not give them wives, of our own daughters, For the sons of Israel had sworn, saying, Cursed, be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.

rotherham@Judges:21:19 @ Then said they Lo! the festival of Yahweh in Shiloh, from year to year, Which is on the north of Bethel, towards sunrise, by the highway that goeth up from Bethel, towards Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.

rotherham@Judges:21:23 @ And the sons of Benjamin did so, and carried off wives, according to their number, of them who were dancing, whom they seized, and they went their way, and returned unto their inheritance, and built the cities, and dwelt therein.

rotherham@Judges:21:24 @ And the sons of Israel at that time went their several ways from thence, every man to his own tribe, and to his own family, yea they went forth from thence, every man to his own inheritance.

rotherham@Ruth:2:11 @ And Boaz answered, and said to her, It hath been, told, meall that thou hast done unto thy mother-in-law, since the death of thy husband, and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and come unto a people whom thou knewest not, aforetime.

rotherham@Ruth:2:12 @ Yahweh recompense thy deed, and let thy reward be full from Yahweh, the God of Israel, unto whom thou hast come to take refuge under his wings.

rotherham@Ruth:2:14 @ And Boaz said to her at mealtime Draw nigh hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. So she sat beside the reapers, and there was reached to her parched corn, and she did eat and was satisfied, and left thereof remaining.

rotherham@Ruth:2:15 @ And, when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying Even between the sheaves, let her glean, and reproach her not;

rotherham@Ruth:2:16 @ yea moreover, draw out, for her, from the bundles, and leave behind that she may glean it, and rebuke her not.

rotherham@Ruth:2:17 @ So she gleaned in the field, until the evening, and beat out that which she had gleaned, and there was about an ephah of barley.

rotherham@Ruth:2:18 @ And she took it up, and came into the city, and, when her mother-in-law had seen what she had gleaned, she brought forth and gave her what had been left remaining, after that she was satisfied.

rotherham@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her In what place hast thou gleaned, today? and where hast thou wrought? May he that took notice of thee, be blessed! So she told her mother-in-law, with whom she had wrought, and said The name of the man with whom I wrought today, is Boaz.

rotherham@Ruth:2:20 @ Then said Naomi, to her daughter-in-law Blessed, be he of Yahweh, who hath not left off his lovingkindness to the living, and to the dead. And Naomi said to her Near to us, is the man, of our own kinsmen, is he!

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:19 @ And, all the utensils which King Ahaz in his reign rejected when he acted unfaithfully, have we made ready and hallowed, and, there they are, before the altar of Yahweh.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:21 @ And they brought in seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven young sheep, and seven he-goats for bearing sin, for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah, and he bade the sons of Aaron, the priests, cause them to ascend upon the altar of Yahweh.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:22 @ So they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and dashed it against the altar, and they slaughtered the rams, and dashed the blood against the altar, and slaughtered the young sheep, and dashed the blood against the altar.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:23 @ And they brought near the he-goats for bearing sin, before the king, and the convocation, and they leaned their hands upon them;

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:24 @ and the priests slaughtered them, and sin-cleansed, with their blood, the altar, to put a propitiatory-covering over all Israel,-because, for all Israel, did the king appoint the ascending-sacrifice and the offering for bearing sin.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he caused the Levites to stand in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals and with harps and with lyres, by the commandment of David, and of Gad the seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet, for, by the hand of Yahweh, came the commandment by the hand of his prophets.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:26 @ So the Levites took their stand, with the instruments of David, and the priests, with the trumpets.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:27 @ And Hezekiah gave word, to cause the ascending-sacrifice to go up on the altar, and, when the ascending-sacrifice began, the singing unto Yahweh began, and the trumpets, even under the direction of the instruments of David, king of Israel.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:29 @ And, when the offering was complete, the king knelt down and all who were present with him, and bowed themselves in prostration.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:30 @ And Hezekiah the king and the rulers gave word to the Levites, to offer praise unto Yahweh, in the words of David, and of Asaph the seer, so they offered praise right joyfully, and bent their heads and bowed themselves in prostration.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then responded Hezekiah and said Now, have ye consecrated yourselves unto Yahweh. Draw near, and bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings unto the house of Yahweh,-So the convocation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings, and, everyone of a willing heart, ascending-sacrifices.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And it came to pass that, the number of ascending-sacrifices which the convocation brought, wasseventy bullocks, and a hundred rams, and two hundred young sheep, as an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, all these.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:34 @ Only, the priests, were too few, and were unable to flay all the ascending-sacrifices, so their brethren the Levites strengthened them, until the work was complete and until the priests had hallowed themselves, for, the Levites, were more upright in heart to hallow themselves, than the priests.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:35 @ Moreover also, the ascending-sacrifices, were in abundance, with the fat portions of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings to every ascending-sacrifice,-thus was established the service of the house of Yahweh.

rotherham@2Chronicles:29:36 @ And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because God had established it for the people, for, suddenly, had the thing come about.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:1 @ Then sent Hezekiah unto all Israel and Judah, moreover also, letters, wrote he unto Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come unto the house of Yahweh, in Jerusalem, to keep a passover unto Yahweh, God of Israel.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:2 @ Yea, the king and his rulers and all the convocation in Jerusalem, had taken counsel, to keep the passover in the second month.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they established a decree, to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even unto Dan, that they should come in to keep a passover unto Yahweh the God of Israel, in Jerusalem, for, not for a long time, had they kept it as written.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:6 @ The runners, therefore, went with letters from the hand of the king and his rulers, throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye sons of Israel, return ye unto Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and he will return unto the remnant, that which is left to you, out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now, do not stiffen your neck, like your fathers, stretch forth the hand unto Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary which he hath hallowed unto times age-abiding, and serve Yahweh your God, that he may turn from you the glow of his anger.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For, by your returning unto Yahweh, your brethren and your children, shall find compassion before their captors, so as to return unto this land. For, gracious and compassionate, is Yahweh your God, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye will return unto him.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:10 @ So the runners were passing from city to city throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun,-but they were laughing them to scorn, and mocking them.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also, upon Judah, came the hand of God, to give them one heart, to keep the commandment of the king and the rulers, as the word of Yahweh.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For, the multitude of the people, many out of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, for they did eat the passover, otherwise than as was written, for Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, May Yahweh the Good, put a propitiatory-covering about

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah spake unto the heart of all the Levites who were giving good instruction respecting Yahweh, and they did eat the appointed feast seven days, sacrificing the peace-offerings, and offering praise unto Yahweh, God of their fathers.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:23 @ Then all the convocation took counsel, to keep seven days more, and they kept seven days, with rejoicing.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For, Hezekiah king of Judah, presented to the convocation, a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep, and, the rulers, presented to the convocation, a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep,-and, priests in great numbers, hallowed themselves.

rotherham@2Chronicles:30:25 @ So all the convocation of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, and all the convocation that came in out of Israel, rejoiced, also the sojourners who were coming in out of the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Judah.

rotherham@Nehemiah:4:3 @ Now, Tobiah the Ammonite, was beside him, so he said, Even that which they are building, if a fox should go up, he would break down their stone wall!

rotherham@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we have become a contempt, and turn thou back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up as a prey, in the land of captivity;

rotherham@Esther:4:5 @ Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the eunuchs of the king whom he had stationed before her, and charged him, concerning Mordecai, to get to know what this was, and why this was.
