Joshua:5-7
mkjv@Joshua:5:1 @ And it happened, 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 the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan in front of the sons of Israel until we had passed over, that their hearts melted. Neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.
mkjv@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make sharp knives for yourselves and circumcise the sons of Israel again, the second time.
mkjv@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made sharp knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
mkjv@Joshua:5:4 @ And this [is] the reason why Joshua circumcised. All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the wayside, after they came out of Egypt.
mkjv@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who came out were circumcised. But all the people born in the wilderness by the wayside, as they came forth out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
mkjv@Joshua:5:6 @ For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the people, the men of war, who came out of Egypt, were destroyed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD. To them 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 flows with milk and honey.
mkjv@Joshua:5:7 @ And Joshua circumcised their sons, [whom] He raised up in their place. For they were not circumcised, because they had not been circumcised by the wayside.
mkjv@Joshua:5:8 @ And it happened when they had finished circumcising all the people, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were well.
mkjv@Joshua:5:9 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. Therefore, the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
mkjv@Joshua:5:10 @ And the sons of Israel camped in Gilgal and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
mkjv@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the old grain of the land on the next day after the Passover, unleavened cakes and roasted grain in the same day.
mkjv@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna stopped on the next day after they had eaten the old grain of the land. And there was no more manna to the sons of Israel, but they ate the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
mkjv@Joshua:5:13 @ And it happened, when Joshua was beside Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked. And, behold, there stood a Man in front of him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, [Are] You for us, or for our foes?
mkjv@Joshua:5:14 @ And He said, No, but I have come [as] the Commander of the army of the LORD. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth. And he worshiped and said to Him, What does my Lord say to His servant?
mkjv@Joshua:5:15 @ And the Commander of the LORD's army said to Joshua, Take your shoe off your foot, for the place on which you stand [is] holy. And Joshua did so.
mkjv@Joshua:6:1 @ And Jericho was completely shut up because of the sons of Israel. None went out and none came in.
mkjv@Joshua:6:2 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho into your hand, and its king, [and] the mighty men of war.
mkjv@Joshua:6:3 @ And you shall go around the city, all the men of war. Go around the city once. So you shall do for six days.
mkjv@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of ram's horns in front of the ark. And the seventh day you shall go around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
mkjv@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall be when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, and when you 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, each man straight before him.
mkjv@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 carry seven ram's horns in front of the ark of the LORD.
mkjv@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, Pass on, and go around the city. And let him who is armed pass on in front of the ark of the LORD.
mkjv@Joshua:6:8 @ And it happened when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven ram's horns passed on before the LORD and blew the ram's horns. And the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
mkjv@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests who blew with the ram's horns. And the gathering army came after the ark, as [the priests] were going on and blowing with the ram's horns.
mkjv@Joshua:6:10 @ And Joshua had commanded the people saying, You shall not shout nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall [any] word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.
mkjv@Joshua:6:11 @ And the ark of the LORD went around the city, going around [it] once. And they came into the camp and stayed in the camp.
mkjv@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
mkjv@Joshua:6:13 @ And seven priests carrying seven ram's horns before the ark of the LORD went on without stopping and blew with the ram's horns. And the armed men went in front of them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD as [the priests were going on and blowing with the ram's horns.
mkjv@Joshua:6:14 @ And the second day they went around the city once, and returned to the camp. So they did six days.
mkjv@Joshua:6:15 @ And it happened on the seventh day they rose early, at the dawning of the day, and circled the city in the same way seven times. Only on that day did they go around the city seven times.
mkjv@Joshua:6:16 @ And it happened, at the seventh time, when the priest blew with the ram's horns, Joshua said to the people, Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
mkjv@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be devoted to the LORD, it and all in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
mkjv@Joshua:6:18 @ And you surely shall keep [clear of] the cursed thing, lest you make yourselves cursed when you take of the cursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
mkjv@Joshua:6:19 @ But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, [are] devoted to the LORD. They shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
mkjv@Joshua:6:20 @ And the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the ram's horns. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the ram's horns, and the people shouted with a great shout, the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, each man straight before him. And they took the city.
mkjv@Joshua:6:21 @ And they completely destroyed all in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
mkjv@Joshua:6:22 @ And Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring the woman out from there, and all that she has, as you swore to her.
mkjv@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men who were spies went in and brought Rahab out, and her father and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had. And they brought out all her kindred and set them outside the camp of Israel.
mkjv@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burned the city with fire, and all that [was] in it. Only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
mkjv@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had. And she lives in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
mkjv@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua charged [them] at that time, saying, Cursed before the LORD [is] the man who rises up and builds this city of Jericho. He shall lay the foundation of it in his first-born, and in his youngest [son] he shall set up the gates of it.
mkjv@Joshua:6:27 @ And the LORD was with Joshua. And his fame was in all the country.
mkjv@Joshua:7:1 @ But the sons of Israel committed a sin in the cursed thing. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the thing which was cursed. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against the sons of Israel.
mkjv@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel. And he spoke to them, saying, Go up and look over the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
mkjv@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua and said to him, Let not all the people go up. But let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Do not make all the people labor there, for they [are] few.
mkjv@Joshua:7:4 @ And about three thousand men of the people went up there. And they fled before the men of Ai.
mkjv@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them, for they chased them [from] before the gate to Shebarim, and struck them in the road going down. Therefore the hearts of the people melted and became as water.
mkjv@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust on their heads.
mkjv@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, why have You at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? And, oh that we had been content and lived on the other side Jordan!
mkjv@Joshua:7:8 @ O, Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns their backs before their enemies?
mkjv@Joshua:7:9 @ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear, and shall surround us, and shall cut off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?
mkjv@Joshua:7:10 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, Get up! Why do you lie on your face this way?
mkjv@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned, and they have also broken My covenant which I commanded them, and have even taken of the cursed things, and have also stolen and pretended falsely. And they have even put [it] among their own stuff.
mkjv@Joshua:7:12 @ And the sons of Israel could not stand before their enemies. They will turn [their] backs before their enemies, because they have become cursed. I will not be with you again, unless you destroy the one who is cursed from among you.
mkjv@Joshua:7:13 @ Up! Sanctify the people and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow. For thus says the LORD God of Israel, A cursed thing is] in the midst of you, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the cursed thing from among you.
mkjv@Joshua:7:14 @ And in the morning, you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be, the tribe which the LORD takes shall come, according to its families. And the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households. And the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
mkjv@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be, he who is taken with the cursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all he has, because he has broken the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done wickedness in Israel.
mkjv@Joshua:7:16 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes. And the tribe of Judah was taken.
mkjv@Joshua:7:17 @ And he brought the families of Judah. And he took the family of the Zerahites. And he took the family of the Zerahites man by man. And Zabdi was taken.
mkjv@Joshua:7:18 @ And he brought 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.
mkjv@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said to Achan, My son, I pray you, give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession to Him. And tell me now what you have done. Do not hide [it] from me.
mkjv@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this I have done.
mkjv@Joshua:7:21 @ When I saw among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, I coveted them and took them. And behold, they [are] hidden in the earth in the middle of my tent, and the silver under it.
mkjv@Joshua:7:22 @ And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran into the tent. And behold, [it was hidden] in his tent, and the silver under it.
mkjv@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel. And they laid them out before the LORD.
mkjv@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, 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 to the valley of Achor.
mkjv@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? The LORD shall trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
mkjv@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. And the LORD turned from the greatness of His anger. Therefore, the name of that valley is called, The Valley of Grief, to this day.
mkjv@Joshua:8:1 @ And the LORD said to Joshua, Do not fear, nor be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. See, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
