Joshua:1:1 @ And it came to pass after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke unto Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, saying,
lesserot@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, to the children of Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:1:3 @ Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
lesserot@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your boundary.
lesserot@Joshua:1:5 @ No man shall be able to stand up before thee all the days of thy life; as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee: I will not let thee fail, nor forsake thee.
lesserot@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of a good courage; for thou shalt divide for an inheritance unto this people the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give to them.
lesserot@Joshua:1:7 @ Only be thou strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant hath commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left; in order that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
lesserot@Joshua:1:8 @ This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, in order that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and then shalt thou have good success.
lesserot@Joshua:1:9 @ Behold, I have commanded thee, Be strong and of good courage; be not dismayed, neither be thou discouraged; for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
lesserot@Joshua:1:10 @ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
lesserot@Joshua:1:11 @ Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare yourselves provisions; for after only three days more ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you, to possess it.
lesserot@Joshua:1:12 @ And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Menasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,
lesserot@Joshua:1:13 @ Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath granted you rest, and hath given you this land;
lesserot@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan; but ye shall pass over armed before your brethren, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;
lesserot@Joshua:1:15 @ Until the Lord shall have granted your brethren rest, as he hath done to you, and they also have taken possession of the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then shall ye return unto the land of your possession, and possess it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.
lesserot@Joshua:1:16 @ And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou hast commanded us will we do, and whithersoever thou wilt send us will we go.
lesserot@Joshua:1:17 @ Entirely so as we have hearkened unto Moses, thus will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
lesserot@Joshua:1:18 @ Every man that doth rebel against thy order, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou mayest command him, shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
lesserot@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua, the son of Nun, had sent out from Shittim two men as spies, secretly, saying, Go ye, view the land and especially Jericho; and they went, and came unto the house of a woman, a harlot, whose name was Rachab, and they lodged there.
lesserot@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told unto the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men came in hither this night, of the children of Israel, to search out the country.
lesserot@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho sent to Rachab, saying, Bring forth the men who are come to thee, who came to thy house; for, to search out all the country are they come.
lesserot@Joshua:2:4 @ But the woman had taken the two men, and hidden them; and she said, It is true, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were.
lesserot@Joshua:2:5 @ And it came to pass, about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; I know not whither the men are gone: pursue quickly after them, for ye can overtake them.
lesserot@Joshua:2:6 @ But she had brought them up to the roof, and had hidden them among the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
lesserot@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men pursued after them, by the way to the Jordan unto the fords; and the gate was closed, as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out.
lesserot@Joshua:2:8 @ But they had not yet laid themselves down, when she came up unto them upon the roof.
lesserot@Joshua:2:9 @ And she said unto them, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that the terror of you hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land are become fainthearted, because of you.
lesserot@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard, how that the Lord dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you, when ye went forth out of Egypt; and what ye have done unto the two kings of the Emorites, who were on the other side of the Jordan, unto Sichon and Og, whom ye have utterly destroyed.
lesserot@Joshua:2:11 @ And when we heard this, our heart melted, and there remained not any more courage in any man, because of you; for the Lord your God is alone God in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath.
lesserot@Joshua:2:12 @ And now swear, I pray you, unto me by the Lord, because I have shown you kindness, that ye will also, for your part, show kindness, unto my fathers house; and give me a sure token,
lesserot@Joshua:2:13 @ That ye will preserve the life of my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
lesserot@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men said unto her, Our life shall be to death instead of yours, if ye tell not this our business; and it shall be, when the Lord giveth us the land, that we will show thee kindness and truth.
lesserot@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was within the town wall, and within the wall she dwelt.
lesserot@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet with you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned; and afterward ye may go your way.
lesserot@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.
lesserot@Joshua:2:18 @ Behold, when we come into the land, this line of scarlet thread shalt thou bind in the window by which thou hast let us down; and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brothers, and all thy fathers household, thou must bring together unto thee into the house.
lesserot@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be, that whosoever will go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless; and whosoever will remain with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if a hand be laid upon him.
lesserot@Joshua:2:20 @ And if thou tell this our business, then will we be free of thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.
lesserot@Joshua:2:21 @ And she said, According unto your words, so be it; and she dismissed them, and they departed; and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
lesserot@Joshua:2:22 @ And they went, and came unto the mountain, and they remained there three days, until the pursuers were returned; and the pursuers sought throughout all the way, but found nothing.
lesserot@Joshua:2:23 @ And the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him all the things that had befallen them.
lesserot@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath given up into our hand all the country; for all the inhabitants of the country are already become fainthearted because of us.
lesserot@Joshua:3:1 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they broke up from Shittim, and came close to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.
lesserot@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers passed through the midst of the camp.
lesserot@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 shall ye break up from your place, and go after it.
lesserot@Joshua:3:4 @ Nevertheless there shall be a space between you and it, of about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, in order that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
lesserot@Joshua:3:5 @ And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow will the Lord do wonders in the midst of you.
lesserot@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua said unto the priests, as followeth, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
lesserot@Joshua:3:7 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
lesserot@Joshua:3:8 @ 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.
lesserot@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Approach hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.
lesserot@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, Hereby shall ye know that the living God is in the midst of you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Jebusites.
lesserot@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into the Jordan.
lesserot@Joshua:3:12 @ And now take yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man each out of every tribe.
lesserot@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, that as soon as 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, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, namely, the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand up as a wall.
lesserot@Joshua:3:14 @ And it came to pass, when the people broke up from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, and the priests the bearers of the ark of the covenant were before the people;
lesserot@Joshua:3:15 @ And as they that bore the ark were come up to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bore the ark were dipped in the edge of the water,
lesserot@Joshua:3:16 @ That the waters which came down from above stood still and rose up as a wall, very far from the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan; and those that ran down toward the sea of the plain, the salt sea, failed, were cut off; and the people passed over opposite to Jericho.
lesserot@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, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people had finished passing over the Jordan.
lesserot@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over the Jordan, That the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,
lesserot@Joshua:4:2 @ Take yourselves twelve men out of the people, one man each out of every tribe,
lesserot@Joshua:4:3 @ And command ye them, saying, Take yourselves hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests feet stood firmly, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodgingplace, where ye will lodge this night.
lesserot@Joshua:4:4 @ Then did Joshua call the twelve men, whom he had appointed out of the children of Israel, one man each out of every tribe:
lesserot@Joshua:4:5 @ And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take yourselves up every man one stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
lesserot@Joshua:4:6 @ In order that this may be a sign among you, when your children ask in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
lesserot@Joshua:4:7 @ That ye shall answer them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off; and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
lesserot@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so as Joshua had commanded; and they took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as the Lord had spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
lesserot@Joshua:4:9 @ Twelve stones also did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, on the spot where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood: and they have remained there unto this day.
lesserot@Joshua:4:10 @ But the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hastened and passed over.
lesserot@Joshua:4:11 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over, that the ark of the Lord passed over with the priests in the presence of the people.
lesserot@Joshua:4:12 @ And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Menasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them:
lesserot@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand ready armed for war, did they pass over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
lesserot@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day the Lord made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
lesserot@Joshua:4:15 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, as followeth,
lesserot@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
lesserot@Joshua:4:17 @ And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.
lesserot@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, the soles of the feet of the priests were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all its banks, as on the preceding days.
lesserot@Joshua:4:19 @ And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the extreme eastern border of Jericho.
lesserot@Joshua:4:20 @ And those twelve stones, which they had taken out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
lesserot@Joshua:4:21 @ And he said unto the children of Israel, thus, When your children shall ask in time to come their fathers, saying, What mean these stones?
lesserot@Joshua:4:22 @ Then shall ye let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel pass over this Jordan;
lesserot@Joshua:4:23 @ That the Lord your God dried up the waters of the 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 gone over;
lesserot@Joshua:4:24 @ In order that all the nations of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty; in order that ye may fear the Lord your God all the days.
lesserot@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emorites, who were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard 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, and there remained no more any courage in them, because of the children of Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
lesserot@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.
lesserot@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after their going forth out of Egypt.
lesserot@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people that came out were circumcised; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way at their going forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.
lesserot@Joshua:5:6 @ For during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, till there was an end of all the people, the men of war, who were come out of Egypt, who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
lesserot@Joshua:5:7 @ But their children he raised up in their stead: these did Joshua circumcise; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
lesserot@Joshua:5:8 @ And it came to pass, when the whole people had all been circumcised, that they abode in their places in the camp till they were healed.
lesserot@Joshua:5:9 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And he called the name of the place Gilgal unto this day.
lesserot@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and they prepared the passoveroffering on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
lesserot@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passoveroffering, unleavened cakes and parched corn, on the selfsame day.
lesserot@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land; and the children of Israel had not any more manna; but they did eat of the product of the land of Canaan during that year.
lesserot@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, a man was standing over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went unto him, and said to him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
lesserot@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, No; for I am a captain of the host of the Lord: now am I come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed himself, and said to him, What doth my lord speak unto his servant?
lesserot@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of the Lords host said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
lesserot@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was shut up, and barred up, because of the children of Israel: no one went out, and no one came in.
lesserot@Joshua:6:2 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king, even the mighty men of valor.
lesserot@Joshua:6:3 @ And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
lesserot@Joshua:6:4 @ And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven cornets of rams horns; and on the seventh day shall ye compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the cornets.
lesserot@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass, that, when they blow a long blast with the rams horn, when ye hear the sound of the cornet all the people shall utter a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
lesserot@Joshua:6:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven cornets of rams horns before the ark of the Lord.
lesserot@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.
lesserot@Joshua:6:8 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests, bearing the seven cornets of rams horns before the Lord, passed on and blew with the cornets; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.
lesserot@Joshua:6:9 @ And the armed men went before the priests that blew the cornets, and the rereward came after the ark, going on, and blowing with the cornets.
lesserot@Joshua:6:10 @ And Joshua had 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; and then shall ye shout.
lesserot@Joshua:6:11 @ So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, going round it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
lesserot@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
lesserot@Joshua:6:13 @ And the seven priests bearing the seven cornets of rams horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually, and blew with the cornets; and the armed men went before them; and the rereward came after the ark of the Lord, going on, and blowing with the cornets.
lesserot@Joshua:6:14 @ And they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp: so did they six days.
lesserot@Joshua:6:15 @ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after this manner seven times; only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
lesserot@Joshua:6:16 @ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priest blew with the cornets, that Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the Lord hath given you the city.
lesserot@Joshua:6:17 @ And the city shall be devoted, it, and all that is therein, to the Lord: only Rachab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house; because she did hide the messengers that we sent.
lesserot@Joshua:6:18 @ But ye, keep yourselves from the devoted things, lest ye devote and yet take of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
lesserot@Joshua:6:19 @ And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy unto the Lord: into the treasury of the Lord shall they come.
lesserot@Joshua:6:20 @ So the people shouted, when they blew with the cornets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the cornet, that the people uttered a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, and the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.
lesserot@Joshua:6:21 @ And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and lamb, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
lesserot@Joshua:6:22 @ But unto the two men that had spied out the country, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all belonging to her, as ye have sworn unto her.
lesserot@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men, the spies, went in, and brought out Rachab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all belonging to her: and they brought out all her kindred, and they left them without the camp of Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:6:24 @ And the city they burnt with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of copper and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord.
lesserot@Joshua:6:25 @ And Rachab the harlot did Joshua save alive, and her fathers household, and all belonging to her; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel even unto this day; because she had hidden the messengers, whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
lesserot@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua adjured at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that will rise up and build this city Jericho: with his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with his youngest shall he set up its gates.
lesserot@Joshua:6:27 @ And the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was spread throughout all the country.
lesserot@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass on the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted things: and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and said unto them, thus, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:7:3 @ And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai: do not fatigue all the people thither; for they are but few.
lesserot@Joshua:7:4 @ So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and they fled before the men of Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men; and they chased them from before the gate unto the stonequarries, and smote them on the declivity; wherefore the heart of the people melted, and became as water.
lesserot@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he with the elders of Israel, and they put dust upon their head.
lesserot@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Eternal, wherefore hast thou caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, to destroy us? and oh! that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!
lesserot@Joshua:7:8 @ I pray thee, O Lord, what shall I say, since Israel have turned their back before their enemies!
lesserot@Joshua:7:9 @ And when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, they will environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth; and what wilt thou do for thy great name?
lesserot@Joshua:7:10 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou upon thy face.
lesserot@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I have commanded them; and they have also taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and have also dissembled, and they have also put it into their own vessels.
lesserot@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore will the children of Israel not be able to stand up before their enemies; their back will they turn before their enemies, because they have become accursed: I will not be any more with you, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
lesserot@Joshua:7:13 @ Rise up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow; for thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, An accursed thing is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand up before thy enemies, until ye have removed the accursed from among you.
lesserot@Joshua:7:14 @ And ye shall be brought near in the morning according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the Lord will seize shall come near according to its families; and the family which the Lord will seize shall come near by households; and the household which the Lord shall seize will come near by its men.
lesserot@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be, that he that is seized with the accursed 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 wickedness in Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was seized;
lesserot@Joshua:7:17 @ And he brought near the family of Judah, and he seized the family of the Zarchites; and he brought near the family of the Zarchites by its men, and Zabdi was seized;
lesserot@Joshua:7:18 @ And he brought near his household by its men, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerach, of the tribe of Judah, was seized.
lesserot@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me, I pray thee, what thou hast done: hide nothing from me.
lesserot@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Truly! I have indeed sinned against the Lord the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
lesserot@Joshua:7:21 @ I saw among the spoil a handsome Babylonish mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels in weight, and I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver beneath the same.
lesserot@Joshua:7:22 @ Joshua thereupon sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver beneath it.
lesserot@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and they laid them out before the Lord.
lesserot@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua took Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had, and all Israel were with him, and they brought them up unto the valley of Achor.
lesserot@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, How hast thou troubled us! so shall the Lord trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burnt them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
lesserot@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day; and the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
lesserot@Joshua:8:1 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou discouraged: take with thee all the people of war, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
lesserot@Joshua:8:2 @ And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou hast done unto Jericho and its king; only its spoil and its cattle shall ye take for booty unto yourselves; but lay thee an ambush for the city in its rear.
lesserot@Joshua:8:3 @ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
lesserot@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, in the rear of the city; go not very far from the city; and be ye all ready;
lesserot@Joshua:8:5 @ And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city; and it shall come to pass that, when they come out against us, as at the first time, we will flee before them;
lesserot@Joshua:8:6 @ And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee from us as at the first time: and we will flee before them.
lesserot@Joshua:8:7 @ And then shall ye rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; and the Lord your God will deliver it in into your hand.
lesserot@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be, that as soon as ye have seized the city, ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of the Lord shall ye do: see, I have commanded you.
lesserot@Joshua:8:9 @ And Joshua sent them off: and they went to lie in ambush, and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
lesserot@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, toward Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew nigh, and came opposite the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men, and set them as an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:8:13 @ And the people, all the camp that was on the north of the city, and its ambush on the west of the city got ready; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
lesserot@Joshua:8:14 @ And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw this, 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, before the plain; but he knew not that there was an ambush against him in the rear of the city.
lesserot@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and Israel feigned themselves beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
lesserot@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.
lesserot@Joshua:8:17 @ And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:8:18 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for into thy hand will I give it. And Joshua stretched out the spear which was in his hand toward the city.
lesserot@Joshua:8:19 @ And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city, and took possession of it, and hastened and set the city on fire.
lesserot@Joshua:8:20 @ And the men of Ai turned behind them, and 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 had fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
lesserot@Joshua:8:21 @ For when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had seized the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended: they turned back, and smote the men of Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others issued out of the city against them; so that the Israelites had them in the middle, some on this side, and some on that side; and they smote them, until there was not left of them one that remained or escaped.
lesserot@Joshua:8:23 @ And the king of Ai they caught alive, and brought him to Joshua.
lesserot@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass, that, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had pursued them, and when they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, All the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
lesserot@Joshua:8:25 @ And all that fell in that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:8:26 @ And Joshua drew not back his hand, wherewith he had stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
lesserot@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as booty unto themselves, according to the word of the Lord which he had commanded Joshua.
lesserot@Joshua:8:28 @ And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a ruinous heap of desolation for ever, even unto this day,
lesserot@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide; and at the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took his carcass down from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the city gate, and they raised over him a great heap of stones, even unto this day.
lesserot@Joshua:8:30 @ Then did Joshua build an altar unto the Lord, the God of Israel on mount Ebal,
lesserot@Joshua:8:31 @ As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no one had lifted up any iron tool; and they offered thereon burntofferings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peaceofferings.
lesserot@Joshua:8:32 @ And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, and their elders, and the officers, and their judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark, opposite the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the stranger no less than the native born: half of them turned toward mount Gerizzim, and the other half of them turned toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded, to bless the people of Israel at first.
lesserot@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, all, just as it is written in the book of the law.
lesserot@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the stranger that walked in the midst of them.
lesserot@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings that were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in all the coast of the great sea opposite Lebanon, the Hittites, and the Emorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard this,
lesserot@Joshua:9:2 @ That they assembled themselves all together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
lesserot@Joshua:9:3 @ And when the inhabitants of Gibon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto Ai,
lesserot@Joshua:9:4 @ They also did work wilily, and went and feigned to be messengers, and took old sacks for their asses, and winebottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
lesserot@Joshua:9:5 @ And old and patchedup shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
lesserot@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We are come from a faroff country; and now make ye a covenant with us.
lesserot@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell in the midst of us; and how can we make a covenant with you:
lesserot@Joshua:9:8 @ And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye!
lesserot@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him, From a very faroff country are thy servants come, because of the name of the Lord thy God; for we have heard his fame, and all that he hath done in Egypt;
lesserot@Joshua:9:10 @ And all that he hath done to the two kings of the Emorites, that were beyond the Jordan, to Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and to Og the king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
lesserot@Joshua:9:11 @ Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, as followeth, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, Your servants are we: and now make ye with us a covenant.
lesserot@Joshua:9:12 @ This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and it is become mouldy:
lesserot@Joshua:9:13 @ And these winebottles, which we filled, when new, but behold, they are now become rent; and these our garments and our shoes are become worn out by reason of the very long journey.
lesserot@Joshua:9:14 @ And the men took of their provisions, but the decision of the Lord they did not ask.
lesserot@Joshua:9:15 @ And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore unto them.
lesserot@Joshua:9:16 @ 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 neighbors, and that they dwelt in the midst of them.
lesserot@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gibon, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryathyearim.
lesserot@Joshua:9:18 @ And the children of Israel smote them not; because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the Lord, the God of Israel; but all the congregation murmured against the princes.
lesserot@Joshua:9:19 @ And all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the Lord the God of Israel: and now we cannot touch them.
lesserot@Joshua:9:20 @ This will we do to them, and we will let them live, that there be no wrath upon us, on account of the oath which we have sworn unto them.
lesserot@Joshua:9:21 @ And the princes said unto them, Let them live: and they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.
lesserot@Joshua:9:22 @ And Joshua called for them, and he spoke unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you: whereas ye dwell in the midst of us?
lesserot@Joshua:9:23 @ And now be ye cursed, and there shall not cease to be of you servants and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
lesserot@Joshua:9:24 @ And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God had commanded his servant Moses to give unto you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; wherefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and we have done this thing.
lesserot@Joshua:9:26 @ And he did unto them thus; and he delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, and they slew them not.
lesserot@Joshua:9:27 @ And Joshua appointed them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this day, for the place which he should choose.
lesserot@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek, the king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so had he done to Ai and its king; and that the inhabitants of Gibon had made peace with Israel, and were in the midst of them:
lesserot@Joshua:10:2 @ That they were greatly afraid; because Gibon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
lesserot@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adonizedek the king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham the king of Hebron, and unto Piram the king of Yarmuth, and unto Yaphia, the king of Lachish, and unto Debir the king of Eglon, saying,
lesserot@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibon; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:10:5 @ And the five kings of the Emorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Yarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, assembled themselves together, and went up, they and all their camps, and encamped before Gibon, and made war against it.
lesserot@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gibon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Do not withdraw thy hand from thy servants: come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Emorites that dwell in the mountains are assembled together against us.
lesserot@Joshua:10:7 @ And Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
lesserot@Joshua:10:8 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid of them; for into thy hand have I delivered them: there shall not stand a man of them before thee.
lesserot@Joshua:10:9 @ And Joshua came unto them suddenly; the whole night he went up from Gilgal.
lesserot@Joshua:10:10 @ And the Lord brought them in confusion before Israel, and they smote them with a great slaughter at Gibon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Bethchoron, and smote them up to Azekah, and up to Makkedah.
lesserot@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were in the declivity of Bethchoron, that the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven, up to Azekah, and they died: there were more who died by means of the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel had slain with the sword.
lesserot@Joshua:10:12 @ Then spoke Joshua to the Lord on the day when the Lord delivered up the Emorites before the children of Israel, and he said before the eyes of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ayalon.
lesserot@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Yashar? And the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and hastened not to go down about a whole day.
lesserot@Joshua:10:14 @ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:10:15 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
lesserot@Joshua:10:16 @ But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
lesserot@Joshua:10:17 @ And it was told to Joshua, saying, The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
lesserot@Joshua:10:18 @ And Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men over it to guard them;
lesserot@Joshua:10:19 @ But you, do ye not stay, pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them: suffer them not to enter into their cities; for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand.
lesserot@Joshua:10:20 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of smiting them with a very great defeat, till they were all spent, and those that escaped had fled from them and entered into the fortified cities,
lesserot@Joshua:10:21 @ That all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: no one pointed against any man of the children of Israel his tongue.
lesserot@Joshua:10:22 @ Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me those five kings out of the cave.
lesserot@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought forth unto him those five kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Yarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
lesserot@Joshua:10:24 @ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon their necks.
lesserot@Joshua:10:25 @ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be disheartened, be strong and of good courage; for thus will the Lord do unto all your enemies against whom ye fight.
lesserot@Joshua:10:26 @ And Joshua smote them afterward, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees; and they remained hanging upon the trees until the evening.
lesserot@Joshua:10:27 @ And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hidden; and they placed great stones upon the mouth of the cave, even until this very day.
lesserot@Joshua:10:28 @ And Joshua captured Makkedah on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king he devoted, them, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
lesserot@Joshua:10:29 @ Then did Joshua, and all Israel with him, pass from Makkedah unto Libnah; and he fought against Libnah;
lesserot@Joshua:10:30 @ And the Lord delivered it also into the hand of Israel, with its king; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he left none in it that escaped; and he did unto its king as he had done unto the king of Jericho.
lesserot@Joshua:10:32 @ And the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein: just as he had done to Libnah.
lesserot@Joshua:10:33 @ Then came up Horam the king of Gezer to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none that escaped.
lesserot@Joshua:10:34 @ And Joshua and all Israel with him passed from Lachish unto Eglon; and they encamped against it, and fought against it;
lesserot@Joshua:10:35 @ And they captured it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword; and all the souls that were therein he devoted on that day: just as he had done to Lachish.
lesserot@Joshua:10:36 @ And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon unto Hebron; and they fought against it;
lesserot@Joshua:10:37 @ And they captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped, just as he had done to Eglon; and he devoted it, and all the souls that were therein.
lesserot@Joshua:10:39 @ And he captured it, and its king, and all its cities; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and devoted all the souls that were therein; he left none that escaped: as he had done to Hebron, so did he to Debir and to its king; and as he had done to Libnah and to its king.
lesserot@Joshua:10:40 @ And Joshua smote all the country, the mountain, and the south, and the lowlands, and the declivities, and all their kings; he left none that escaped; and all that breathed he utterly destroyed, as the Lord, the God of Israel had commanded.
lesserot@Joshua:10:41 @ And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gazzah, and all the country of Goshen, even up to Gibon.
lesserot@Joshua:10:42 @ And all these kings and their land did Joshua capture at one time; because the Lord, the God of Israel fought for Israel.
lesserot@Joshua:10:43 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
