lesserot@Joshua:1:1 @ And it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, saying,

lesserot@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, to the children of Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

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

lesserot@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of a good courage; for thou shalt divide for an inheritance unto this people the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give to them.

lesserot@Joshua:1:15 @ Until the Lord shall have granted your brethren rest, as he hath done to you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.

lesserot@Joshua:1:17 @ Entirely so as we have hearkened unto Moses, thus will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

lesserot@Joshua:1:18 @ Every man that doth rebel against thy order, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou mayest command him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

lesserot@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua, the son of Nun, had sent out from Shittim two men as spies, secretly, saying, Go ye, view the land and especially Jericho; and they went, and came unto the house of a woman, a harlot, whose name was Rachab, and they lodged there.

lesserot@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told unto the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men came in hither this night, of the children of Israel, to search out the country.

lesserot@Joshua:2:4 @ But the woman had taken the two men, and hidden them; and she said, It is true, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were.

lesserot@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men pursued after them, by the way to the Jordan unto the fords; and the gate was closed, as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out.

lesserot@Joshua:2:8 @ But they had not yet laid themselves down, when she came up unto them upon the roof.

lesserot@Joshua:2:9 @ And she said unto them, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are become fainthearted, because of you.

lesserot@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard, how that the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you, when ye went forth out of Egypt; and what ye have done unto the two kings of the Emorites, who were on the other side of the Jordan, unto Sichon and Og, whom ye have utterly destroyed.

lesserot@Joshua:2:12 @ And now swear, I pray you, unto me by the Lord, because I have shown you kindness, that ye will also, for your part, show kindness, unto my fathers house; and give me a sure token,

lesserot@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men said unto her, Our life shall be to death instead of yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the Lord giveth us the land, that we will show thee kindness and truth.

lesserot@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward ye may go your way.

lesserot@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.

lesserot@Joshua:2:18 @ Behold, when we come into the land, this line of scarlet thread shalt thou bind in the window by which thou hast let us down; and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brothers, and all thy fathers household, thou must bring together unto thee into the house.

lesserot@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, According unto your words, so be it; and she dismissed them, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

lesserot@Joshua:2:22 @ And they went, and came unto the mountain, and they remained there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought throughout all the way, but found nothing.

lesserot@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath given up into our hand all the country; for all the inhabitants of the country are already become fainthearted because of us.

lesserot@Joshua:3:4 @ Nevertheless there shall be a space between you and it, of about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, in order that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

lesserot@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow will the Lord do wonders in the midst of you.

lesserot@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua said unto the priests, as followeth, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

lesserot@Joshua:3:7 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.

lesserot@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Approach hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.

lesserot@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over the Jordan, That the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,

lesserot@Joshua:4:5 @ And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take yourselves up every man one stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;

lesserot@Joshua:4:7 @ That ye shall answer 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; and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

lesserot@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so as Joshua had commanded; and they took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

lesserot@Joshua:4:9 @ Twelve stones also did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, on the spot where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood: and they have remained there unto this day.

lesserot@Joshua:4:10 @ But the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hastened and passed over.

lesserot@Joshua:4:12 @ And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Menasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them:

lesserot@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand ready armed for war, did they pass over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:4:15 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,

lesserot@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, the soles of the feet of the priests were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all its banks, as on the preceding days.

lesserot@Joshua:4:21 @ And he said unto the children of Israel, thus, When your children shall ask in time to come their fathers, saying, What mean these stones?

lesserot@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

lesserot@Joshua:5:6 @ For during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, till there was an end of all the people, the men of war, who were come out of Egypt, who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

lesserot@Joshua:5:9 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And he called the name of the place Gilgal unto this day.

lesserot@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, a man was standing over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

lesserot@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, No; for I am a captain of the host of the Lord: now am I come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself, and said to him, What doth my lord speak unto his servant?

lesserot@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the Lords host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

lesserot@Joshua:6:2 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king, even the mighty men of valor.

lesserot@Joshua:6:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven cornets of rams horns before the ark of the Lord.

lesserot@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.

lesserot@Joshua:6:8 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests, bearing the seven cornets of rams horns before the Lord, passed on and blew with the cornets; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.

lesserot@Joshua:6:16 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priest blew with the cornets, that Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.

lesserot@Joshua:6:19 @ And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy unto the Lord: into the treasury of the Lord shall they come.

lesserot@Joshua:6:22 @ But unto the two men that had spied out the country, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all belonging to her, as ye have sworn unto her.

lesserot@Joshua:6:25 @ And Rachab the harlot did Joshua save alive, and her fathers household, and all belonging to her; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel even unto this day; because she had hidden the messengers, whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and said unto them, thus, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

lesserot@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai: do not fatigue all the people thither; for they are but few.

lesserot@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them from before the gate unto the stonequarries, and smote them on the declivity; wherefore the heart of the people melted, and became as water.

lesserot@Joshua:7:10 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou upon thy face.

lesserot@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me, I pray thee, what thou hast done: hide nothing from me.

lesserot@Joshua:7:22 @ Joshua thereupon sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver beneath it.

lesserot@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and they laid them out before the Lord.

lesserot@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua took Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and all Israel were with him, and they brought them up unto the valley of Achor.

lesserot@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day; and the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

lesserot@Joshua:8:1 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou discouraged: take with thee all the people of war, 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.

lesserot@Joshua:8:2 @ And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou hast done unto Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle shall ye take for booty unto yourselves; but lay thee an ambush for the city in its rear.

lesserot@Joshua:8:5 @ And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city; and it shall come to pass that, when they come out against us, as at the first time, we will flee before them;

lesserot@Joshua:8:18 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for into thy hand will I give it. And Joshua stretched out the spear which was in his hand toward the city.

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

lesserot@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty unto themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he had commanded Joshua.

lesserot@Joshua:8:28 @ And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a ruinous heap of desolation for ever, even unto this day,

lesserot@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide; and at the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took his carcass down from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the city gate, and they raised over him a great heap of stones, even unto this day.

lesserot@Joshua:8:30 @ Then did Joshua build an altar unto the Lord, the God of Israel on mount Ebal,

lesserot@Joshua:8:31 @ As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no one had lifted up any iron tool; and they offered thereon burntofferings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peaceofferings.

lesserot@Joshua:9:3 @ And when the inhabitants of Gibon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto Ai,

lesserot@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a faroff country; and now make ye a covenant with us.

lesserot@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell in the midst of us; and how can we make a covenant with you:

lesserot@Joshua:9:8 @ And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye!

lesserot@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him, From a very faroff country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done in Egypt;

lesserot@Joshua:9:11 @ Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, as followeth, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, Your servants are we: and now make ye with us a covenant.

lesserot@Joshua:9:12 @ This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and it is become mouldy:

lesserot@Joshua:9:15 @ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.

lesserot@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gibon, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryathyearim.

lesserot@Joshua:9:18 @ And the children of Israel smote them not; because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord, the God of Israel; but all the congregation murmured against the princes.

lesserot@Joshua:9:19 @ And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot touch them.

lesserot@Joshua:9:20 @ This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them.

lesserot@Joshua:9:21 @ And the princes said unto them, Let them live: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.

lesserot@Joshua:9:22 @ And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us?

lesserot@Joshua:9:24 @ And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we have done this thing.

lesserot@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do.

lesserot@Joshua:9:26 @ And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they slew them not.

lesserot@Joshua:9:27 @ And Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.

lesserot@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adonizedek the king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham the king of Hebron, and unto Piram the king of Yarmuth, and unto Yaphia, the king of Lachish, and unto Debir the king of Eglon, saying,

lesserot@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Do not withdraw thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Emorites that dwell in the mountains are assembled together against us.

lesserot@Joshua:10:8 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid of them; for into thy hand have I delivered them: there shall not stand a man of them before thee.

lesserot@Joshua:10:9 @ And Joshua came unto them suddenly; the whole night he went up from Gilgal.

lesserot@Joshua:10:14 @ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:10:15 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

lesserot@Joshua:10:22 @ Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me those five kings out of the cave.

lesserot@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought forth unto him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Yarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.

lesserot@Joshua:10:24 @ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon their necks.

lesserot@Joshua:10:25 @ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be disheartened, be strong and of good courage; for thus will the Lord do unto all your enemies against whom ye fight.

lesserot@Joshua:10:28 @ And Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he devoted, them, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:10:29 @ Then did Joshua, and all Israel with him, pass from Makkedah unto Libnah; and he fought against Libnah;

lesserot@Joshua:10:30 @ And the Lord delivered it also into the hand of Israel, with its king; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none in it that escaped; and he did unto its king as he had done unto the king of Jericho.

lesserot@Joshua:10:31 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, passed from Libnah unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it;

lesserot@Joshua:10:34 @ And Joshua and all Israel with him passed from Lachish unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it;

lesserot@Joshua:10:36 @ And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon unto Hebron; and they fought against it;

lesserot@Joshua:10:41 @ And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gazzah, and all the country of Goshen, even up to Gibon.

lesserot@Joshua:10:43 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.

lesserot@Joshua:11:6 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for tomorrow about this time will I give all of them up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hamstring and their chariots shalt thou burn with fire.

lesserot@Joshua:11:8 @ And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and pursued them unto great Zidon, and unto Missrephothmayim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none that escaped.

lesserot@Joshua:11:9 @ And Joshua did unto them as the Lord had said unto him: their horses he hamstringed and their chariots he burnt with fire.

lesserot@Joshua:11:14 @ And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, did the children of Israel take as booty unto themselves; but all the men they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left not any one having breath.

lesserot@Joshua:11:17 @ From the bald mountain that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Chermon; and all their kings he captured, and smote them, and slew them.

lesserot@Joshua:11:23 @ And Joshua took the whole land, all just as the Lord had spoken unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

lesserot@Joshua:12:1 @ And these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel smote, and whose land they took possession of on the other side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Chermon, and all the plain on the east:

lesserot@Joshua:12:2 @ Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the brook Arnon, and over the land in the middle of the brook, and from half Gilad, even unto the brook Yabbok, the boundary of the children of Ammon;

lesserot@Joshua:12:5 @ And reigned over mount Chermon, and over Salchah, and over all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilad, the boundary of Sichon the king of Cheshbon.

lesserot@Joshua:12:6 @ These did Moses the servant of the Lord and the children of Israel smite; and Moses the servant of the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Menasseh.

lesserot@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the country whom Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side of the Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon as far as the bald mountain, that goeth up to Seir; and Joshua gave it unto the tribes of Israel for a possession, according to their divisions;

lesserot@Joshua:13:1 @ Now Joshua was old, well stricken in years; and the Lord said unto him, Thou art old, stricken in years, and of the land there remaineth yet very much to be taken possession of.

lesserot@Joshua:13:3 @ From the Shichor, which runneth before Egypt, even unto the boundary of Ekron northward, is counted to the Canaanites; the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazzathites, and the Ashdodites, the Eshkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avvim;

lesserot@Joshua:13:6 @ All the inhabitants of the mountain from Lebanon unto Missrephothmayim, all the Zidonians: these will I drive out from before the children of Israel; only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.

lesserot@Joshua:13:7 @ And now divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Menasseh.

lesserot@Joshua:13:8 @ With him the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave unto them, beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord hath given them;

lesserot@Joshua:13:14 @ Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance: the fireofferings of the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them.

lesserot@Joshua:13:15 @ And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben according to their families;

lesserot@Joshua:13:24 @ And Moses gave unto the tribe of Gad, unto the children of Gad according to their families;

lesserot@Joshua:13:26 @ And from Cheshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Machanayim up to the border of Debir;

lesserot@Joshua:13:29 @ And Moses gave unto the half tribe of Menasseh; and it belonged to the half tribe of the children of Menasseh after their families;

lesserot@Joshua:13:31 @ And half Gilad and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, unto the children of Machir the son of Menasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir after their families.

lesserot@Joshua:13:33 @ But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the Lord the God of Israel is himself their inheritance, as he hath spoken unto them.

lesserot@Joshua:14:1 @ And these are the countries which the children of Israel obtained as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Elazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the divisions of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for an inheritance unto them,

lesserot@Joshua:14:3 @ For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe on the other side of the Jordan; but unto the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.

lesserot@Joshua:14:4 @ For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Menasseh and Ephraim; therefore they gave no portion unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their open spaces for their cattle and for their substance.

lesserot@Joshua:14:6 @ And the children of Judah came near unto Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite said unto him, Thou well knowest the word which the Lord spoke unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thyself in Kadeshbarnea.

lesserot@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, as he hath spoken: it is now forty and five years since the Lord spoke this word unto Moses, while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am this day eighty and five years old.

lesserot@Joshua:14:13 @ And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron unto Caleb the son of Yephunneh for an inheritance.

lesserot@Joshua:14:14 @ Therefore did Hebron become the inheritance of Caleb the son of Yephunneh the Kenizzite unto this day; for the cause that he had wholly followed the Lord the God of Israel.

lesserot@Joshua:15:3 @ And it went out to the south of the heights of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Chezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karka;

lesserot@Joshua:15:4 @ And it passed on toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the terminations of the boundary were at the sea: this shall be your southern boundary.

lesserot@Joshua:15:5 @ And the east boundary was the salt sea, unto the end of the Jordan. And the boundary in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan;

lesserot@Joshua:15:8 @ And the boundary went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite, the same is Jerusalem; and the boundary went up to the top of the mount that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward;

lesserot@Joshua:15:9 @ And the boundary extended from the top of the mount unto the spring of the waters of Nephtoach, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the boundary extended to Baalah, which is Kiryathyearim;

lesserot@Joshua:15:10 @ And the boundary compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Yearim, which is Kessalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah;

lesserot@Joshua:15:11 @ And the boundary went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the boundary extended to Shikron, and passed along to the mount of Baalah, and went out unto Yabneel; and the terminations of the boundary were at the sea.

lesserot@Joshua:15:13 @ And unto Caleb the son of Yephunneh he gave as a portion among the children of Judah, according to the order of the Lord to Joshua, Kiryatharba the father of Anak, which is Hebron.

lesserot@Joshua:15:18 @ And it came to pass, as she came thither, that she persuaded him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What aileth thee?

lesserot@Joshua:15:46 @ From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay alongside of Ashdod, with their villages.

lesserot@Joshua:15:63 @ As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, these the children of Judah could not drive out; but the Jebusites dwelt with the children of Judah at Jerusalem, even unto this day.

lesserot@Joshua:16:1 @ And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from the Jordan by Jericho, unto the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho by the mount Bethel,

lesserot@Joshua:16:2 @ And went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along unto the boundary of the Arkites to Ataroth,

lesserot@Judges:8:8 @ And he went up thence to Penuel, and spoke unto them in the same manner: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered.

lesserot@Judges:8:9 @ And he said also unto the men of Penuel thus, When I return again in peace, I will break down this tower.

lesserot@Judges:8:15 @ And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold here are Zebach and Zalmunna, with whom ye derided me, saying, Is the sole of the foot of Zebach and Zalmunna now already in thy hand, that we should give unto thy weary men bread?

lesserot@Judges:8:18 @ And he said unto Zebach and Zalmunna, What kind of men were those whom ye slew at Tabor! And they answered, As thou art, so were they; one was in form like that of the children of a king.

lesserot@Judges:8:20 @ And he said unto Yether his firstborn, Rise up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword; for he was afraid, because he was yet a youth.

lesserot@Judges:8:22 @ And the men of Israel said unto Gidon, Rule thou over us, both thou and thy son, and thy sons son also; for thou hast delivered us out of the hand of Midian.

lesserot@Judges:8:23 @ And Gidon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the Lord shall rule over you.

lesserot@Judges:8:24 @ And Gidon said unto them, I would ask one request of you, that ye should give me every man the earring of his booty; for they had had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

lesserot@Judges:8:27 @ And Gidon made thereof an ephod, and set it up in his city, in Ophrah: and all Israel went astray after it thither; and it became a snare unto Gidon, and to his house.

lesserot@Judges:8:35 @ Neither showed they kindness to the house of Yerubbaal, namely, Gidon, in accordance with all the good which he had done unto Israel.

lesserot@Judges:9:1 @ And Abimelech the son of Yerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mothers brothers, and spoke unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mothers father, saying,

lesserot@Judges:9:5 @ And he came unto his fathers house at Ophrah, and slew his brothers the sons of Yeruhbaal, seventy persons, upon one stone; and there was yet left Yotham the youngest son of Yerubbaal; for he had hidden himself.

lesserot@Judges:9:7 @ And they told it to Yotham; and he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizzim, and he lifted up his voice, and cried; and he said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, so that God may hearken unto you.

lesserot@Judges:9:8 @ The trees went once forth to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olivetree, Reign thou over us.

lesserot@Judges:9:9 @ But the olivetree said unto them, Should I give up my fatness, wherewith through me they honor God and men, and shall I go to be promoted over the trees!

lesserot@Judges:9:11 @ But the figtree said unto them, Should I give up my sweetness, and my good productiveness, and go to be promoted over the trees?

lesserot@Judges:9:12 @ Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, reign over us.

lesserot@Judges:9:13 @ But the vine said unto them, Should I give up my fresh wine, which rejoiceth God and men, and go to be promoted over the trees!

lesserot@Judges:9:14 @ Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, reign over us.

lesserot@Judges:9:15 @ And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me as king over you, then come seek protection in my shadow; and if not, then let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of the Lebanon.

lesserot@Judges:9:16 @ And now, if ye have acted in truth and sincerity, when ye made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Yerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the merit of his hands;

lesserot@Judges:9:25 @ And the men of Shechem set persons to lie in wait for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all that passed by them on that way: and it was told unto Abimelech.

lesserot@Judges:9:31 @ And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privately, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers are come to Shechem; and, behold, they incite the city to enmity against thee.

lesserot@Judges:9:36 @ And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou regardest the shadow of the mountains as men.

lesserot@Judges:9:38 @ Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him! is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, and fight with them.

lesserot@Judges:9:47 @ And it was told unto Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

lesserot@Judges:9:48 @ And Abimelech went thereupon up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from a tree, and bore it, and laid it on his shoulder; and he said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen that I have done, make haste, and do like me.

lesserot@Judges:9:54 @ Then called he hastily unto the young man that bore his armor, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that people may not say of me, A woman hath slain him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

lesserot@Judges:9:56 @ Thus did God compensate the evil of Abimelech, which he had done unto his father, in slaying his seventy brothers:

lesserot@Judges:10:4 @ And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty asscolts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Chavvothyair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilad.

lesserot@Judges:10:10 @ And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Bealim.

lesserot@Judges:10:11 @ And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Behold from the Egyptians, and from the Emorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines.

lesserot@Judges:10:14 @ Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let these deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

lesserot@Judges:10:15 @ And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us entirely as it seemeth good in thy eyes; only deliver us, we pray thee, this time.

lesserot@Judges:11:2 @ And the wife of Gilad also bore him sons; and when the sons of the wife were grown up, they drove away Yiphthach, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in the house of our father: for the son of another woman art thou.

lesserot@Judges:11:6 @ And they said unto Yiphthach, Come, and become a leader unto us, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

lesserot@Judges:11:7 @ And Yiphthach said unto the elders of Gilad, Did ye not hate me, and drive me away out of my fathers house? and why are ye come unto me now, when ye are in distress?

lesserot@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gilad said unto Yiphthach, Therefore are we now come back to thee, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon; and thou shalt become unto us a head, unto all the inhabitants of Gilad.

lesserot@Judges:11:9 @ And Yiphthach said unto the elders of Gilad, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the Lord give them up before me, shall I remain your head?

lesserot@Judges:11:10 @ And the elders of Gilad said unto Yiphthach, The Lord shall be a hearer between us, if we do not so according to thy word.

lesserot@Judges:11:12 @ And Yiphthach sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?

lesserot@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the children of Ammon said unto the messengers of Yiphthach, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Yabbok, and unto the Jordan: and now restore these again in peace.

lesserot@Judges:11:14 @ And Yiphthach again sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon;

lesserot@Judges:11:15 @ And he said unto him, Thus hath said Yiphthach, Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;

lesserot@Judges:11:16 @ For when they came up out of Egypt, Israel walked through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;

lesserot@Judges:11:17 @ And Israel then sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me pass, I pray thee, through thy land; but the king of Edom would not hearken; and also to the king of Moab they sent; but he would not consent: and Israel remained in Kadesh.

lesserot@Judges:11:19 @ And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, the king of Cheshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place.

lesserot@Judges:11:22 @ And they took possession of all the territory of the Emorites, from the Arnon even unto the Yabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.

lesserot@Judges:11:28 @ Nevertheless the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Yiphthach which he had sent to him.

lesserot@Judges:11:29 @ Then came upon Yiphthach the spirit of the Lord, and he passed through Gilad and Menasseh, and passed through Mitzpeh of Gilad, and from Mitzpeh of Gilad he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

lesserot@Judges:11:30 @ And Yiphthach made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,

lesserot@Judges:11:32 @ So Yiphthach passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hand.

lesserot@Judges:11:33 @ And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou comest to Minnith, twenty cities, and unto Abelkeramin, with a very great defeat; and the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Israel.

lesserot@Judges:11:34 @ And Yiphthach came to Mizpah unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his sole child; he had beside her neither son nor daughter.

lesserot@Judges:11:35 @ And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his garments, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast bent me down very low, and thou art one of those that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.

lesserot@Judges:11:36 @ And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me in accordance with what hath proceeded out of thy mouth; since the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee on thy enemies, on the children of Ammon.

lesserot@Judges:11:37 @ And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may descend to the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I with my companions.

lesserot@Judges:11:39 @ And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, and he fulfilled on her his vow which he had vowed; and she knew no man; and it became a custom in Israel,

lesserot@Judges:12:1 @ And the men of Ephraim were called together, and went northward, and said unto Yiphthach, Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call for us to go with thee? thy house will we burn over thee with fire.

lesserot@Judges:12:2 @ And Yiphthach said unto them, I and my people were greatly engaged in strife with the children of Ammon; and I called you, but ye helped me not out of their hand.

lesserot@Judges:12:3 @ And when I saw that ye helped me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over to the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hand; and why then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?

lesserot@Judges:12:5 @ And the Giladites seized on the passages of the Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it came to pass, when the Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me pass over; that the men of Gilad said unto him, Art thou an Ephrathite? and if he said, No;

lesserot@Judges:12:6 @ Then said they unto him, Do say, Shibboleth; but when he said, Sibboleth, and was not able to pronounce it correctly, they laid hold of him and slew him on the passages of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

lesserot@Judges:13:3 @ And there appeared an angel of the Lord unto the woman, and he said unto her, Behold, thou art barren, and hast not born; but thou wilt conceive, and bear a son.

lesserot@Judges:13:6 @ And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his appearance was like the appearance of an angel of God, very terrible; but I asked him not whence he might be, and his name he did not tell me.

lesserot@Judges:13:7 @ And he said unto me, Behold, thou wilt conceive, and bear a son; and now thou must drink neither wine nor strong drink, and not eat anything unclean; for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from the womb until the day of his death.

lesserot@Judges:13:8 @ And Manoach entreated the Lord, and said, Hear me, O Lord, let the man of God, whom thou didst send, come again unto us, and instruct us what we shall do unto the child that is to be born.

lesserot@Judges:13:9 @ And God hearkened to the voice of Manoach; and the angel of God came again unto the woman, as she was sitting in the field; and Manoach her husband was not with her.

lesserot@Judges:13:10 @ And the woman made haste, and ran, and informed her husband; and she said unto him, Behold, there hath appeared unto me the man, that came unto me the other day.

lesserot@Judges:13:11 @ And Manoach arose, and went after his wife; and he came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spokest unto the woman? and he said, I am.

lesserot@Judges:13:12 @ And Manoach said, If now thy words come to pass, what shall be proceeding with the child, and what shall be done unto him?

lesserot@Judges:13:13 @ And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoach, Of all that I have said unto the woman must she beware.

lesserot@Judges:13:15 @ And Manoach said unto the angel of the Lord, Let us, I pray thee, detain thee, and we will make a kid ready for thee.

lesserot@Judges:13:16 @ And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoach, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread; but if thou wilt offer a burntoffering, thou must offer it unto the Lord; for Manoach knew not that he was an angel of the Lord.

lesserot@Judges:13:17 @ And Manoach said unto the angel of the Lord, What is thy name, that, when thy word cometh to pass, we may do thee honor?

lesserot@Judges:13:18 @ And the angel of the Lord said unto him, Why is it that thou wilt ask after my name, seeing it is secret?

lesserot@Judges:13:19 @ And Manoach took the kid and the meatoffering, and offered it upon the rock unto the Lord: and he did wondrously; and Manoach and his wife looked on.

lesserot@Judges:13:22 @ And Manoach said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because a divine being have we seen.

lesserot@Judges:13:23 @ But his wife said unto him, If the Lord were pleased to kill us, he would not have received from our hand a burntoffering and a meatoffering, nor would he have let us see all these things, and at this time he would not have let us hear as this.

lesserot@Judges:14:3 @ Then said unto him his father and his mother, Is there not among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, a woman, that thou art going to take a wife from the Philistines, the uncircumcised? And Samson said unto his father, This one take for me; for she pleaseth me well.

lesserot@Judges:14:7 @ And he went down, and spoke unto the woman; and she pleased Samson well.

lesserot@Judges:14:9 @ And he took it out in his hands, and went on, eating as he was going, and came to his father and mother, and he gave unto them, and they did eat; but he told them not that out of the carcass of the lion he had taken the honey.

lesserot@Judges:14:10 @ And his father went down unto the woman; and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.

lesserot@Judges:14:12 @ And Samson said unto them, I will now propound unto you a riddle; if ye can in anywise tell it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then will I give you thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments;

lesserot@Judges:14:13 @ But if ye will not be able to tell it to me, then shall ye give me thirty shirts and thirty changes of garments. And they said unto him, Propound thy riddle, that we may hear it.

lesserot@Judges:14:14 @ And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not solve the riddle in three days.

lesserot@Judges:14:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samsons wife, Persuade thy husband, that he may solve unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy fathers house with fire: have ye invited us to impoverish us? is it not so?

lesserot@Judges:14:16 @ And Samsons wife wept before him, and said, Thou doest but hate me, and lovest me not: that riddle hast thou propounded unto the children of my people, and me hast thou not told. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it to my father and to my mother, and thee shall I tell it?

lesserot@Judges:14:18 @ Then said unto him the men of the city on the seventh day before the sun was yet gone down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not ploughed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.

lesserot@Judges:14:19 @ And the Spirit of the Lord came suddenly over him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew of them thirty men, and he took their apparel, and gave the changes of garments unto the expounders of the riddle; but his anger was kindled, and he went up to his fathers house.

lesserot@Judges:15:7 @ And Samson said unto them, Since ye will do the like of this, I will surely be avenged on you, and after that will I cease.

lesserot@Judges:15:11 @ Thereupon went three thousand men of Judah down to the cleft of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines rule over us? and what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.

lesserot@Judges:15:12 @ And they said unto him, To bind thee are we come down, to deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not assail me yourselves.

lesserot@Judges:15:13 @ And they said unto him, thus, No; for we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand; but we will in nowise kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.

lesserot@Judges:15:14 @ When he was come unto Lechi, the Philistines shouted against him; but the Spirit of the Lord came suddenly over him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax threads that are burnt with fire, and his bands melted from off his hands.

lesserot@Judges:15:19 @ But God clave a hollow place that was at Lechi, and there came forth water out of it; and he drank, and his spirit came again, and he revived; wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lechi unto this day.

lesserot@Judges:16:1 @ Then went Samson to Gazzah, and saw there a harlot, and went in unto her.

lesserot@Judges:16:5 @ And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Persuade him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail over him, that we may bind him to subdue him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

lesserot@Judges:16:7 @ And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven moist cords which have not yet been dried, then shall I become weak, and be like any other of mankind.

lesserot@Judges:16:9 @ And she had men lying in wait, sitting near her in the chamber. And she said him, The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And he tore the cords, as a thread of tow is torn when it toucheth the fire; and his strength was not perceived.
