jps@Joshua:2:9 @ and she said unto the men: 'I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
jps@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
jps@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

jps@Joshua:2:22 @ And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
jps@Joshua:2:23 @ Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.
jps@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said unto Joshua: 'Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.'
jps@Joshua:3:1 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
jps@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;
jps@Joshua:3:3 @ and they commanded the people, saying: 'When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
jps@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.'
jps@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said unto the people: 'Sanctify yourselves; for to-morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.'
jps@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spoke unto the priests, saying: 'Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people.' And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
jps@Joshua:3:7 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
jps@Joshua:3:8 @ And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying: When ye are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, ye shall stand still in the Jordan.'
jps@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel: 'Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.'
jps@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said: 'Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
jps@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth on before you over the Jordan.
jps@Joshua:3:12 @ Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.
jps@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.'
jps@Joshua:3:14 @ And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests that bore the ark of the covenant being before the people;
jps@Joshua:3:15 @ and when they that bore the ark were come unto the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water--for the Jordan overfloweth all its banks all the time of harvest--
jps@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off from Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off; and the people passed over right against Jericho.
jps@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, while all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.
jps@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
jps@Joshua:4:2 @ 'Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
jps@Joshua:4:3 @ and command ye them, saying: Take you hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood, twelve stones made ready, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place, where ye shall lodge this night.'
jps@Joshua:4:4 @ Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man;
jps@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said unto them: 'Pass on before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
jps@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying: What mean ye by these stones?
jps@Joshua:4:7 @ then ye shall say unto them: Because 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.'
jps@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke 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.
jps@Joshua:4:9 @ Joshua also set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there unto this day.
jps@Joshua:4:10 @ And the priests that bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hastened and passed over.
jps@Joshua:4:11 @ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed on, and the priests, before the people.
jps@Joshua:4:12 @ And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed on armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke unto them;
jps@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand ready armed for war passed on in the presence of the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
jps@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
jps@Joshua:4:15 @ And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
jps@Joshua:4:16 @ 'Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.'
jps@Joshua:4:17 @ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying: 'Come ye up out of the Jordan.'
jps@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, as the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the midst of the Jordan, as soon as the soles of the priests' feet were drawn up unto the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime.
jps@Joshua:4:19 @ And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
jps@Joshua:4:20 @ And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
jps@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spoke unto the children of Israel, saying: 'When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying: What mean these stones?
jps@Joshua:4:22 @ then ye shall let your children know, saying: Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
jps@Joshua:4:23 @ For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up from before us, until we were passed over,
jps@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty; that ye may fear the LORD your God for ever.'
jps@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, that were by the sea, heard how that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
jps@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Make thee knives of flint, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.'
jps@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made him knives of flint, and circumcised the children of Israel at Gibeath-ha-araloth.
jps@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people that came forth out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.
jps@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
jps@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD; unto whom the LORD swore that He would not let them see the land which the LORD swore unto their fathers that He would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
jps@Joshua:5:7 @ And He raised up their children in their stead; them did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised by the way.
jps@Joshua:5:8 @ And it came to pass, when all the nation were circumcised, every one of them, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
jps@Joshua:5:9 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.' Wherefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, unto this day.
jps@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
jps@Joshua:5:11 @ And they did eat of the produce of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes and parched corn, in the selfsame day.
jps@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
jps@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 over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him: 'Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?'
jps@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said: 'Nay, but I am captain of the host of the LORD; I am now come.' And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said unto him: 'What saith my lord unto his servant?'
jps@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua: 'Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy.' And Joshua did so.
jps@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.--
jps@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, even the mighty men of valour.
jps@Joshua:6:3 @ And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
jps@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear seven rams' horns before the ark; and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the horns.
jps@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall be, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the horn, 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.'
jps@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 rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.'
jps@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said unto the people: 'Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed body pass on before the ark of the LORD.'
jps@Joshua:6:8 @ And it was so, that when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the LORD passed on, and blew with the horns; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
jps@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests that blew the horns, and the rearward went after the ark, the priests blowing with the horns continually.
jps@Joshua:6:10 @ And Joshua commanded the people, saying: 'Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.'
jps@Joshua:6:11 @ So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
jps@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
jps@Joshua:6:13 @ And the seven priests bearing the seven rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the horns; and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests blowing with the horns continually.
jps@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp; so they did six days.
jps@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times; only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
jps@Joshua:6:16 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the horns, that Joshua said unto the people: 'Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
jps@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
jps@Joshua:6:18 @ And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed by taking of the devoted thing, so should ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
jps@Joshua:6:19 @ But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy unto the LORD; they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.'
jps@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, and the priests blew with the horns. And it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
jps@Joshua:6:21 @ And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
jps@Joshua:6:22 @ And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land: 'Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye swore unto her.'
jps@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had, all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp of Israel.
jps@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; 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.
jps@Joshua:6:25 @ But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel, unto this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
jps@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua charged the people with an oath at that time, saying: 'Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city, even Jericho; with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.'
jps@Joshua:6:27 @ So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
jps@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass concerning the devoted thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
jps@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spoke unto them, saying: 'Go up and spy out the land.' And the men went up and spied out Ai.
jps@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; make not all the people to toil thither; for they are but few.'
jps@Joshua:7:4 @ So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and they fled before the men of Ai.
jps@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them at the descent; and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
jps@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust upon their heads.
jps@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said: 'Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast Thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and dwelt beyond the Jordan!
jps@Joshua:7:8 @ Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel hath turned their backs before their enemies!
jps@Joshua:7:9 @ For when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land hear of it, they will compass us round, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt Thou do for Thy great name?'
jps@Joshua:7:10 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Get thee up; wherefore, now, art thou fallen upon thy face?
jps@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned; yea, they have even transgressed My covenant which I commanded them; yea, they have even taken of the devoted thing; and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have even put it among their own stuff.
jps@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies, they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed; I will not be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
jps@Joshua:7:13 @ Up, sanctify the people, and say: Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: There is a curse in the midst of thee, O Israel; thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
jps@Joshua:7:14 @ In the morning therefore ye shall draw near by your tribes; and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come near by families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come near by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come near man by man.
jps@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be that he that is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath; because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought a wanton deed in Israel.'
jps@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken.
jps@Joshua:7:17 @ And he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zabdi was taken.
jps@Joshua:7:18 @ And he brought near his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
jps@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 now what thou hast done; hide nothing from me.'
jps@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, and said: 'Of a truth I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.
jps@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoil a goodly Shinar mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.'
jps@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
jps@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel; and they laid them down before the LORD.
jps@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up unto the valley of Achor.
jps@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said: 'Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day.' And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
jps@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.
jps@Joshua:8:1 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Fear not, neither be thou dismayed; take all the people of war with thee, 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.
jps@Joshua:8:2 @ And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king; only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves; set thee an ambush for the city behind it.'
jps@Joshua:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth by night.
jps@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying: 'Behold, ye shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready.
jps@Joshua:8:5 @ And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city; and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
jps@Joshua:8:6 @ And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say: They flee before us, as at the first; so we will flee before them.
jps@Joshua:8:7 @ And ye shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
jps@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, when ye have seized upon the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the LORD shall ye do; see, I have commanded you.'
jps@Joshua:8:9 @ And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
jps@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
jps@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people, even the men of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai--now there was a valley between him and Ai.
jps@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai.
jps@Joshua:8:13 @ So the people set themselves in array, even all the host that was on the north of the city, their rear lying in wait on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the vale.
jps@Joshua:8:14 @ And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hastened and rose up early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, in front of the Arabah; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
jps@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
jps@Joshua:8:16 @ And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them; and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
jps@Joshua:8:17 @ And there was not a man left in Ai or Beth-el, that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
jps@Joshua:8:18 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Stretch out the javelin that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thy hand.' And Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
jps@Joshua:8:19 @ And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hastened and set the city on fire.
jps@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
jps@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, then they turned back, and slew the men of Ai.
jps@Joshua:8:22 @ And the other came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
jps@Joshua:8:23 @ And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
jps@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, even in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
jps@Joshua:8:25 @ And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
jps@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
jps@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which He commanded Joshua.
jps@Joshua:8:28 @ So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day.
jps@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the 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 gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, unto this day.
jps@Joshua:8:30 @ Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD, the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,
jps@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron; and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
jps@Joshua:8:32 @ And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote before the children of Israel.
jps@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger as the home-born; half of them in front of mount Gerizim and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
jps@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
jps@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that walked among them.
jps@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings that were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the Lowland, and on all the shore of the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof,
jps@Joshua:9:2 @ that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
jps@Joshua:9:3 @ But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
jps@Joshua:9:4 @ they also did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine skins, worn and rent and patched up;
jps@Joshua:9:5 @ and worn shoes and clouted upon their feet, and worn garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become crumbs.
jps@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 far country; now therefore make ye a covenant with us.'
jps@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites: 'Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a covenant with you?'
jps@Joshua:9:8 @ And they said unto Joshua: 'We are thy servants.' And Joshua said unto them: 'Who are ye? and from whence come ye?'
jps@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him: 'From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God; for we have heard the fame of Him, and all that He did in Egypt,
jps@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
jps@Joshua:9:11 @ And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying: Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them: We are your servants; and now make ye a covenant with us.
jps@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; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become crumbs.
jps@Joshua:9:13 @ And these wine-skins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are rent. And these our garments and our shoes are worn by reason of the very long journey.'
jps@Joshua:9:14 @ And the men took of their provision, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
jps@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.
jps@Joshua:9:16 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
jps@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
jps@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. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
jps@Joshua:9:19 @ But all the princes said unto all the congregation: 'We have sworn unto them by the LORD, the God of Israel; now therefore we may not touch them.
jps@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore unto them.'
jps@Joshua:9:21 @ And the princes said concerning them: 'Let them live'; so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken concerning them.
jps@Joshua:9:22 @ And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying: 'Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying: We are very far from you, when ye dwell among us?
jps@Joshua:9:23 @ Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondmen, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.'
jps@Joshua:9:24 @ And they answered Joshua, and said: 'Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
jps@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in thy hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.'
jps@Joshua:9:26 @ And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
jps@Joshua:9:27 @ And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, unto this day, in the place which He should choose.
jps@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 her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
jps@Joshua:10:2 @ that they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
jps@Joshua:10:3 @ Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying:
jps@Joshua:10:4 @ 'Come up unto me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.'
jps@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, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.
jps@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying: 'Slack not thy hands from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.'
jps@Joshua:10:7 @ So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
jps@Joshua:10:8 @ And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Fear them not; for I have delivered them into thy hand; there shall not a man of them stand against thee.'
jps@Joshua:10:9 @ Joshua therefore came upon them suddenly; for he went up from Gilgal all the night.
jps@Joshua:10:10 @ And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon; and they chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
jps@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died; they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
jps@Joshua:10:12 @ Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel: 'Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.'
