sf_leeser_rev1@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,

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:1:12 @ And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Menasseh, spoke Joshua, saying,

sf_leeser_rev1@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;

sf_leeser_rev1@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;

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:2:8 @ But they had not yet laid themselves down, when she came up unto them upon the roof.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 faint–hearted, because of you.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 father’s house; and give me a sure token,

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thy oath which thou hast caused us to swear.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 father’s household, thou must bring together unto thee into the house.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 faint–hearted because of us.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers passed through the midst of the camp.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:3:12 @ And now take yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man each out of every tribe.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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;

sf_leeser_rev1@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,

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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,

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:4:2 @ Take yourselves twelve men out of the people, one man each out of every tribe,

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand ready armed for war, did they pass over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:4:17 @ And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover–offering, unleavened cakes and parched corn, on the selfsame day.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass, that, when they blow a long blast with the ram’s 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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:6:25 @ And Rachab the harlot did Joshua save alive, and her father’s 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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 first–born shall he lay its foundation, and with his youngest shall he set up its gates.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:6:27 @ And the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was spread throughout all the country.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to ‘Ai, which is beside Beth–aven, on the east side of Beth–el, and said unto them, thus, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out ‘Ai.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:7:4 @ So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men; and they fled before the men of ‘Ai.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 stone–quarries, and smote them on the declivity; wherefore the heart of the people melted, and became as water.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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;

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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;

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:8:12 @ And he took about five thousand men, and set them as an ambush between Beth–el and ‘Ai, on the west side of ‘Ai.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:8:25 @ And all that fell in that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand, all the people of ‘Ai.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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,

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:4 @ They also did work wilily, and went and feigned to be messengers, and took old sacks for their asses, and wine–bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:5 @ And old and patched–up shoes upon their feet, and old garments upon themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.

sf_leeser_rev1@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–off country; and now make ye a covenant with us.

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:8 @ And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye!

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said unto him, From a very far–off 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;

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:13 @ And these wine–bottles, 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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:14 @ And the men took of their provisions, but the decision of the Lord they did not ask.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel broke up, and came unto their cities on the third day; and their cities were Gib’on, and Kephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiryath–ye’arim.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:9:25 @ And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seemeth good and right in thy eyes to do unto us, so do.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Adoni–zedek, 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 Gib’on had made peace with Israel, and were in the midst of them:

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:2 @ That they were greatly afraid; because Gib’on was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than ‘Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gib’on; for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:6 @ And the men of Gib’on 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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:9 @ And Joshua came unto them suddenly; the whole night he went up from Gilgal.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:11 @ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, while they were in the declivity of Beth–choron, 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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:18 @ And Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set men over it to guard them;

sf_leeser_rev1@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,

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:10:22 @ Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out unto me those five kings out of the cave.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:11:1 @ And it came to pass, that, when Yabin the king of Chazor heard these things, he sent to Yobab the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:11:5 @ And all these kings assembled themselves together, and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Joshua:11:6 @ And the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for tomorrow about this time will I give all of them up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hamstring and their chariots shalt thou burn with fire.
