Exodus:17:9 @ And Moses said to Joshua, Choose some men and go fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.
vw@Exodus:17:10 @ So Joshua did as Moses said to him, to fight against Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
vw@Exodus:17:13 @ And Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
vw@Exodus:17:14 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.
vw@Exodus:24:13 @ And Moses arose with Joshua who ministered, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
vw@Exodus:32:17 @ And when Joshua heard the sound of the people of their shouting, he said to Moses, It is a sound of war in the camp.
vw@Exodus:33:11 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, and his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent.
vw@Numbers:11:28 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, minister to Moses, a youth, answered and said, Moses my lord, stop them!
vw@Numbers:13:16 @ These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.
vw@Numbers:14:6 @ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, among those who spied out the land, tore their clothes;
vw@Numbers:14:30 @ Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I raised My hand and swore to make you dwell there.
vw@Numbers:14:38 @ But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, of the men who went to spy out the land.
vw@Numbers:26:65 @ For Jehovah had said of them, They shall die the death in the wilderness. Thus there was not left a man of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.
vw@Numbers:27:18 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand upon him;
vw@Numbers:27:22 @ So Moses did as Jehovah commanded him. He took Joshua and made him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation.
vw@Numbers:32:12 @ except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed Jehovah.
vw@Numbers:32:28 @ So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.
vw@Numbers:34:17 @ These are the names of the men who shall divide the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua the son of Nun.
vw@Deuteronomy:1:38 @ Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
vw@Deuteronomy:3:21 @ And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to these two kings; so will Jehovah do to all the kingdoms through which you pass.
vw@Deuteronomy:3:28 @ But commission Joshua, and encourage him and make him bold; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.
vw@Deuteronomy:31:3 @ Jehovah your God Himself is crossing over before you; He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua himself is crossing over before you, as Jehovah has spoken.
vw@Deuteronomy:31:7 @ And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage, for you shall go with this people into the land which Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.
vw@Deuteronomy:31:14 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, the day has drawn near for you to die. Summon Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may commission him. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.
vw@Deuteronomy:31:23 @ And He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I have sworn to them, and I shall be with you.
vw@Deuteronomy:32:44 @ And Moses came with Joshua the son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people.
vw@Deuteronomy:34:9 @ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the Spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
vw@Joshua:1:1 @ And after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, it came to pass that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses minister, saying:
vw@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them; to the children of Israel.
vw@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon I have given to you, as I have said to Moses.
vw@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.
vw@Joshua:1:5 @ No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not abandon you nor forsake you.
vw@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
vw@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may take heed to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant has commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
vw@Joshua:1:8 @ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may take heed to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
vw@Joshua:1:9 @ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.
vw@Joshua:1:10 @ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
vw@Joshua:1:11 @ Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you are crossing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving you to possess.
vw@Joshua:1:12 @ And to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh Joshua spoke, saying,
vw@Joshua:1:13 @ Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving you rest and has given you this land.
vw@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses has given you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,
vw@Joshua:1:15 @ until Jehovah has given your brethren rest, as He has given you, and they also have taken possession of the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them. Then you shall return to possess the land of your inheritance, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.
vw@Joshua:1:16 @ So they answered Joshua, saying, All that you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
vw@Joshua:1:17 @ Just as we have heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only Jehovah your God be with you, as He was with Moses.
vw@Joshua:1:18 @ Whoever rebels against your mouth and does not heed your words, in all that you command him, shall be put to death. Only be strong and of good courage.
vw@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Shittim to spy secretly, saying, Go, view the land, especially Jericho. So they went, and came to the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and lodged there.
vw@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the land.
vw@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land.
vw@Joshua:2:4 @ And the woman took the two men and hid them; and she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
vw@Joshua:2:5 @ And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men departed. Where the men have gone I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them.
vw@Joshua:2:6 @ (But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.)
vw@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
vw@Joshua:2:8 @ And before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,
vw@Joshua:2:9 @ and said to the men: I know that Jehovah has given you the land, that the terror of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted before you.
vw@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
vw@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for Jehovah your God, He is God in the heavens above and on earth beneath.
vw@Joshua:2:12 @ Now therefore, I beg you, swear to me by Jehovah, since I have shown you kindness, that you also will show kindness to my fathers house, and give me a true token,
vw@Joshua:2:13 @ and save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our souls from death.
vw@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men answered her, Our lives for yours, if you tell none of this business of ours. And it shall be, when Jehovah gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.
vw@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the side of the wall; she dwelt in the wall.
vw@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said to them, Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you. Hide there three days, until the pursuers return; and afterward you may go your way.
vw@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said to her: We will be exempt from this oath of yours which you have made us swear,
vw@Joshua:2:18 @ unless, when we come into the land, you bind this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you have let us down; and you shall bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your fathers household into your house.
vw@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.
vw@Joshua:2:20 @ And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you have made us swear.
vw@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.
vw@Joshua:2:22 @ They departed and went into the mountain, and stayed there three days until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them all along the way, but did not find them.
vw@Joshua:2:23 @ So the two men returned, descended from the mountain, and crossed over; and they came to Joshua the son of Nun, and recounted to him all that happened to them.
vw@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, Truly Jehovah has delivered all the land into our hands, for indeed all the inhabitants of the land have melted before us.
vw@Joshua:3:1 @ And Joshua arose early in the morning; and they set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before crossing over.
vw@Joshua:3:2 @ So it was, after three days, that the officers went through the camp;
vw@Joshua:3:3 @ and they commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests, the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.
vw@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.
vw@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow Jehovah will do wonders among you.
vw@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.
vw@Joshua:3:7 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day I will begin to magnify you in the eyes of all Israel, and they shall know that, as I was with Moses, so I am with you.
vw@Joshua:3:8 @ And you shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you shall remain standing in the Jordan.
vw@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of Jehovah your God.
vw@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, By this you shall know that the living Mighty God is among you, and that He will destroy to dispossess before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:
vw@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.
vw@Joshua:3:12 @ Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each tribe.
vw@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand in a heap.
vw@Joshua:3:14 @ So it was, when the people set out from their tents to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,
vw@Joshua:3:15 @ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped into the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest),
vw@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. Thus the waters that went down into the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, stopped, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
vw@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.
vw@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying:
vw@Joshua:4:2 @ Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,
vw@Joshua:4:3 @ and command them, saying, Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in the lodging place where you lodge tonight.
vw@Joshua:4:4 @ Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from each tribe;
vw@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them: Cross over before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
vw@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, What are these stones to you?
vw@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel for all time.
vw@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
vw@Joshua:4:9 @ And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, at the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.
vw@Joshua:4:10 @ Thus, the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and crossed over.
vw@Joshua:4:11 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed over, that the ark of Jehovah and the priests crossed over before the people.
vw@Joshua:4:12 @ And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.
vw@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand prepared for war crossed over before Jehovah for battle, to the plains of Jericho.
vw@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the eyes of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
vw@Joshua:4:15 @ And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
vw@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests who bear the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.
vw@Joshua:4:17 @ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.
vw@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.
vw@Joshua:4:19 @ Now the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.
vw@Joshua:4:20 @ And the twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
vw@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: When your sons ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What are these stones?
vw@Joshua:4:22 @ then you shall let your children know, saying, Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land;
vw@Joshua:4:23 @ for Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over,
vw@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty, that you may fear Jehovah your God all your days.
vw@Joshua:5:1 @ So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.
vw@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.
vw@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
vw@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.
vw@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
vw@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah swore that He would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn to their fathers that He would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
vw@Joshua:5:7 @ And Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
vw@Joshua:5:8 @ So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp to be healed.
vw@Joshua:5:9 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
vw@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening on the wilderness plains of Jericho.
vw@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and roasted grain, on the very same day.
vw@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
vw@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 stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are You for us or for our adversaries?
vw@Joshua:5:14 @ And He said, No, but as Commander of the army of Jehovah I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and prostrated himself, and said to Him, What does my Lord speak to His servant?
vw@Joshua:5:15 @ And the Commander of the army of Jehovah said to Joshua, Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you are standing is holy. And Joshua did so.
vw@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was closed, shut up before the children of Israel; no one going out, and no one coming in.
vw@Joshua:6:2 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua: Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.
vw@Joshua:6:3 @ You shall go around the city, all the men of war; you shall go all around the city once. Thus you shall do six days.
vw@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear seven shofars of rams horns before the ark. And the seventh day you shall go around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the shofars.
vw@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the rams horn, and when you hear the sound of the shofar, that 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.
vw@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 shofars of rams horns before the ark of Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, Pass along, and go around the city, and let him who is armed go along before the ark of Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:6:8 @ So it was, when Joshua spoke to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams horns before Jehovah went along and blew the shofars, with the ark of the covenant of Jehovah following behind.
vw@Joshua:6:9 @ The armed men went before the priests who blew the shofars, with the rear guard coming along behind the ark, while they proceeded blowing the shofars.
vw@Joshua:6:10 @ And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout or cause your voice to be heard, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout! Then you shall shout.
vw@Joshua:6:11 @ So the ark of Jehovah went around the city, going around it once. And they came into the camp and lodged in the camp.
vw@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua arose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:6:13 @ And seven priests bearing seven shofars of rams horns before the ark of Jehovah proceeded to walk and blew with the shofars. And the armed men went before them, the rear guard coming behind the ark of Jehovah, while they proceeded blowing the shofars.
vw@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they went around the city once and returned to the camp. Thus they did six days.
vw@Joshua:6:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they arose early, about the dawning of the day, and went around the city seven times in the same manner. Only, on that day they went around the city seven times.
vw@Joshua:6:16 @ And the seventh time it happened, when the priests had blown the shofars, that Joshua said to the people: Shout! For Jehovah has given you the city!
vw@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be devoted unto Jehovah, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we had sent.
vw@Joshua:6:18 @ And you shall altogether keep from the devoted things, that you not be accursed when you take of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
vw@Joshua:6:19 @ And all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are holy unto Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted when the priests blew the shofars. And it happened, when the people heard the sound of the shofars and the people shouting with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. And the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.
vw@Joshua:6:21 @ And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
vw@Joshua:6:22 @ And Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the harlots house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you have sworn to her.
vw@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. And they brought out all her family and set them outside the camp of Israel.
vw@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, her fathers house, and all that she had. And she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
vw@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.
vw@Joshua:6:27 @ Thus Jehovah was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the land.
vw@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted things; so the anger of Jehovah burned against the children of Israel.
vw@Joshua:7:2 @ Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is next to Beth Aven, to the east of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
vw@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua and said to him, Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Do not make all the people toil there, for they are few.
vw@Joshua:7:4 @ So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.
vw@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
vw@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Jehovah until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they threw dust on their heads.
vw@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all; to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
vw@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies?
vw@Joshua:7:9 @ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?
vw@Joshua:7:10 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua: Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face?
vw@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I have commanded them. For they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.
vw@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the sons of Israel were not able to stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they are accursed. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.
vw@Joshua:7:13 @ Get up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: There is a devoted thing in your midst, O Israel; you are not able to stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.
vw@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which Jehovah takes shall come according to families; and the family which Jehovah takes shall come by households; and the household which Jehovah takes shall come man by man.
vw@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.
vw@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua arose early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
vw@Joshua:7:17 @ He brought near the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zarhites; and he brought near the family of the Zarhites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.
vw@Joshua:7:18 @ And he brought near his house man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
vw@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and please tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.
vw@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and this is what I have done:
vw@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoils a beautiful garment from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.
vw@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
vw@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the valley of Achor.
vw@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble you this day! And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.
vw@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. And Jehovah turned back from His burning anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.
vw@Joshua:8:1 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua: Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
vw@Joshua:8:2 @ And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only its spoils and its cattle you shall take as plunder for yourselves. Lay an ambush for the city behind it.
vw@Joshua:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai; and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor and sent them away by night.
vw@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying: Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
vw@Joshua:8:5 @ And I and all the people with me shall approach the city; and it shall come about, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before them.
vw@Joshua:8:6 @ For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city, for they will think, They are fleeing before us as at the first. Therefore we will flee before them.
vw@Joshua:8:7 @ Then you shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city, for Jehovah your God has delivered it into your hand.
vw@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, when you have taken the city, that you shall set the city on fire. According to the word of Jehovah you shall do. See, I have commanded you.
vw@Joshua:8:9 @ Joshua therefore sent them out; and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; and Joshua lodged that night among the people.
vw@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
vw@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people of war who were with him went up and drew near; and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now a valley lay between them and Ai.
vw@Joshua:8:12 @ So he took about five thousand men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
vw@Joshua:8:13 @ And when they had set the people, all the army that was on the north of the city, and its rear guard on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
vw@Joshua:8:14 @ And it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and arose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
vw@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by way of the wilderness.
vw@Joshua:8:16 @ So all the people of Ai were assembled to pursue them. And they pursued Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
vw@Joshua:8:17 @ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel. So they left the city open and pursued Israel.
vw@Joshua:8:18 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin in his hand toward the city.
vw@Joshua:8:19 @ And those in ambush rose up quickly out of their place; they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and they entered the city and took it, and hurried to set the city on fire.
vw@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the heavens. So they had no strength to flee this way or that way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
vw@Joshua:8:21 @ And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and struck down the men of Ai.
vw@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others came out of the city against them; so they were caught in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side. And they struck them down, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
vw@Joshua:8:23 @ And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
vw@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 where they pursued them, and when they all had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.
vw@Joshua:8:25 @ And all who fell that day, both men and women, were twelve thousand; all the people of Ai.
vw@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
vw@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the livestock and the spoils of that city Israel took as plunder for themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which He had commanded Joshua.
vw@Joshua:8:28 @ And Joshua burned Ai and made it a perpetual heap, a desolation to this day.
vw@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded and they took his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.
vw@Joshua:8:30 @ And Joshua built an altar unto Jehovah the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
vw@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: an altar of whole stones on which no man has wielded an iron tool. And they offered upon it burnt offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace offerings.
vw@Joshua:8:32 @ And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, he wrote on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he had written.
vw@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, the sojourner as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
vw@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the Words of the Law, the blessings and the curses, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.
vw@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a Word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the sojourners who were living among them.
vw@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were by the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of the Great Sea toward Lebanon; the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; heard about it,
vw@Joshua:9:2 @ that they gathered together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one mouth.
vw@Joshua:9:3 @ But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
vw@Joshua:9:4 @ they did shrewdly, and went and pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and bound up,
vw@Joshua:9:5 @ old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and in crumbs.
vw@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a distant land; now therefore, make a treaty with us.
vw@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps you are dwelling among us; so how can we make a treaty with you?
vw@Joshua:9:8 @ But they said to Joshua, We are your servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are you, and where do you come from?
vw@Joshua:9:9 @ So they said to him: Your servants have come from a very distant land, because of the name of Jehovah your God; for we have heard of His fame, and all that He has done in Egypt,
vw@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that He has done to the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan; to Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
vw@Joshua:9:11 @ Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our land spoke to us, saying, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants; now therefore, make a treaty with us.
vw@Joshua:9:12 @ This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now behold, it is dry and crumbly.
vw@Joshua:9:13 @ And these wineskins which we filled were new, and behold, they are torn; and these our garments and our sandals have become old because of the very long journey.
vw@Joshua:9:14 @ And the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask at the mouth of Jehovah.
vw@Joshua:9:15 @ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a treaty with them to let them live; and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.
vw@Joshua:9:16 @ And it happened at the end of three days, after they had made the treaty with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, dwelling among them.
vw@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath Jearim.
vw@Joshua:9:18 @ But the sons of Israel did not strike them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah the God of Israel. And all the congregation grumbled against the leaders.
vw@Joshua:9:19 @ Then all the leaders said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah the God of Israel; now therefore, we cannot touch them.
vw@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them: We will let them live, that wrath not be upon us because of the oath which we have sworn to them.
vw@Joshua:9:21 @ And the leaders said to them, Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the leaders have spoken to them.
vw@Joshua:9:22 @ And Joshua summoned them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have you deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are dwelling among us?
vw@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore, you are cursed, and none of you shall fail to be slaves, woodcutters and drawers of water for the house of my God.
vw@Joshua:9:24 @ And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was reported and told to your servants that Jehovah your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we were greatly afraid for our souls because of you, and have done this thing.
vw@Joshua:9:25 @ And now behold, we are in your hands; do with us as seems good and right in your eyes to do.
vw@Joshua:9:26 @ Thus he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they did not kill them.
vw@Joshua:9:27 @ And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Jehovah, in the place which He would choose, even to this day.
vw@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,
vw@Joshua:10:2 @ that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
vw@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,
vw@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up to me and help me, that we may strike Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
vw@Joshua:10:5 @ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
vw@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, Do not forsake your servants; come up to us quickly, save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites who dwell in the mountains have gathered together against us.
vw@Joshua:10:7 @ So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
vw@Joshua:10:8 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Do not fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand; not a man of them shall stand before you.
vw@Joshua:10:9 @ Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly, having marched all night from Gilgal.
vw@Joshua:10:10 @ And Jehovah routed them before Israel, struck them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the way that goes to Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
vw@Joshua:10:11 @ And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, that Jehovah cast down large hailstones from the heavens upon them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the sons of Israel had killed with the sword.
vw@Joshua:10:12 @ Then Joshua spoke to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the eyes of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
vw@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people took vengeance upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
