rwbs@Joshua:5:4 @ And this the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
rwbs@Joshua:5:5 @ Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth from Egypt, they had not circumcised.
rwbs@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
rwbs@Joshua:5:7 @ And their children, he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

rwbs@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the next day after they had eaten of the old grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
rwbs@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, thou for us, or for our adversaries?
rwbs@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, Nay; but captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord to his servant? (note:)captain: or, prince(:note)
rwbs@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the LORD’S host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place on which thou standest holy. And Joshua did so.

rwbs@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
rwbs@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long with the ram’s horn, when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him. (note:)flat: Hebrews. under it(:note)
rwbs@Joshua:6:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
rwbs@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, Pass on, and march around the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
rwbs@Joshua:6:8 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
rwbs@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, going on, and blowing with the trumpets. (note:)rereward: Hebrews. gathering host(:note)

rwbs@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they marched around the city seven times.
rwbs@Joshua:6:16 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
rwbs@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be accursed, it, and all that in it, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. (note:)accursed: or, devoted(:note)

rwbs@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burnt the city with fire, and all that in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
rwbs@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
rwbs@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua charged at that time, saying, Cursed the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation in his firstborn, and in his youngest shall he set up the gates of it.
rwbs@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was throughout all the country.
rwbs@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

rwbs@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and deceived also, and they have put even among their own goods.
rwbs@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, turned backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
rwbs@Joshua:7:13 @ Rise, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
