dby@Joshua:1:8 @ This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth; and thou shalt meditate upon it day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein; for then shalt thou have good success in thy ways, and then shalt thou prosper.

dby@Joshua:1:10 @ And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

dby@Joshua:1:11 @ Go through the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare yourselves victuals, for in three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, that ye may enter in to take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth you to possess it.

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

dby@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle shall abide in the land that Moses gave you on this side of the Jordan, but ye, all the valiant men, shall go over in array before your brethren and help them,

dby@Joshua:1:15 @ until Jehovah give your brethren rest as to you, and they also take possession of the land which Jehovah your God giveth them; then shall ye return into the land of your possession and possess it, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you on this side of the Jordan toward the sun-rising.

dby@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua the son of Nun sent from Shittim two spies secretly, saying, Go, see the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into a harlot's house, named Rahab, and they lay down there.

dby@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all the land.

dby@Joshua:2:9 @ and said to the men, I know that Jehovah has given you the land, and that the dread of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

dby@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard that Jehovah dried up the waters of the Red sea before you when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

dby@Joshua:2:11 @ We heard [of it], and our heart melted, and there remained no more spirit in any man because of you; for Jehovah your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

dby@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said to her, We will be quit of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

dby@Joshua:2:18 @ Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind in the window this line of scarlet thread by which thou hast let us down; and thou shalt gather to thee in the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household;

dby@Joshua:2:19 @ and it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, -- his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be innocent; but every one who shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be upon our head, if any hand be upon him.

dby@Joshua:2:20 @ And if thou make known this our business, we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

dby@Joshua:2:23 @ And the two men returned and came down from the mountain, and went over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and related to him everything that had happened to them.

dby@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said to Joshua, Of a surety Jehovah has given the whole land into our hands, and even all the inhabitants of the land faint because of us.

dby@Joshua:3:1 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.

dby@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers went through the camp;

dby@Joshua:3:3 @ and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then remove from your place, and go after it;

dby@Joshua:3:4 @ yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Ye shall not come near it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

dby@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and go over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

dby@Joshua:3:7 @ And Jehovah said to 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 will I be with thee.

dby@Joshua:3:8 @ And thou shalt command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, stand still in the Jordan.

dby@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God.

dby@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into the Jordan.

dby@Joshua:3:12 @ And now take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

dby@Joshua:3:13 @ And it shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, the waters flowing down from above, shall be cut off, and shall stand up in a heap.

dby@Joshua:3:14 @ And it came to pass when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, that the priests bearing the ark of the covenant were before the people;

dby@Joshua:3:15 @ and when they that bore the ark were come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (and the Jordan is full over all its banks throughout the days of harvest),

dby@Joshua:3:16 @ the waters which flowed down from above stood [and] rose up in a heap, very far, by Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan; and those that flowed down towards the sea of the plain, the salt sea, were completely cut off. And the people went over opposite to Jericho.

dby@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan. And all Israel went over on dry ground, until all the nation had completely gone over the Jordan.

dby@Joshua:4:2 @ Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe,

dby@Joshua:4:3 @ and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.

dby@Joshua:4:4 @ And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;

dby@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

dby@Joshua:4:7 @ then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through 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.

dby@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.

dby@Joshua:4:9 @ And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.

dby@Joshua:4:10 @ And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.

dby@Joshua:4:11 @ And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

dby@Joshua:4:12 @ And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

dby@Joshua:4:13 @ About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.

dby@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

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

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

dby@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.

dby@Joshua:4:19 @ And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho.

dby@Joshua:4:20 @ And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

dby@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?

dby@Joshua:4:23 @ because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;

dby@Joshua:4:24 @ that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.

dby@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

dby@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make thee stone-knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

dby@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made him stone-knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth.

dby@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them]: all the people that had come out of Egypt, the males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

dby@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, after they came out of Egypt, [them] had they not circumcised.

dby@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt, who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

dby@Joshua:5:9 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day.

dby@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the plains of Jericho.

dby@Joshua:5:11 @ And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened loaves, and roasted [corn] on that same day.

dby@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the morrow, when they had eaten of the old corn of the land; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.

dby@Joshua:5:14 @ And he said, No; for [as] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come. Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

dby@Joshua:5:15 @ And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Loose thy sandal from off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

dby@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

dby@Joshua:6:2 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the valiant men.

dby@Joshua:6:3 @ And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

dby@Joshua:6:5 @ And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.

dby@Joshua:6:6 @ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.

dby@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.

dby@Joshua:6:8 @ And it came to pass when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before Jehovah passed on and blew with the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them.

dby@Joshua:6:10 @ And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, Shout; then shall ye shout.

dby@Joshua:6:11 @ And the ark of Jehovah went round the city, encompassing [it] once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

dby@Joshua:6:12 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the ark of Jehovah.

dby@Joshua:6:13 @ And the seven priests carrying the seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah went on and blew continually with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them, and the rearguard went after the ark of Jehovah; they blew with the trumpets in marching.

dby@Joshua:6:18 @ But in any wise keep from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed in taking of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

dby@Joshua:6:19 @ And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of copper and iron, shall be holy to Jehovah; they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.

dby@Joshua:6:20 @ And the people shouted, and they blew with the trumpets. And it came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat; and the people went up into the city, each one straight before him, and they took the city.

dby@Joshua:6:21 @ And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city; both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.

dby@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 did they bring out, and they left them outside the camp of Israel.

dby@Joshua:6:24 @ And they burned the city 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 Jehovah.

dby@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had, and she dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day; because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.

dby@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed unfaithfulness in that which had been brought under the curse: Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing; and the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the children of Israel.

dby@Joshua:7:2 @ And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

dby@Joshua:7:4 @ And there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, but they fled before the men of Ai.

dby@Joshua:7:5 @ And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty-six men; and they pursued them from before the gate to Shebarim, and smote them on the descent. Then the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

dby@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and threw dust upon their heads.

dby@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, Lord Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh that we had been content and had remained beyond the Jordan!

dby@Joshua:7:9 @ When the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear [of it], they will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. And what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

dby@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them, and they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it among their stuff.

dby@Joshua:7:12 @ And the children of Israel shall not be able to stand before their enemies: they shall turn their backs before their enemies, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the accursed thing from your midst.

dby@Joshua:7:13 @ Rise up, hallow the people, and say, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, Israel: thou shalt not be able to stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from your midst.

dby@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be, that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath wrought wickedness in Israel.

dby@Joshua:7:16 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and caused Israel to come forward by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.

dby@Joshua:7:17 @ And he caused the families of Judah to come forward, and he took the family of the Zarhites. And he caused the family of the Zarhites to come forward man by man, and Zabdi was taken.

dby@Joshua:7:18 @ And he caused his household to come forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

dby@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to him: tell me now what thou hast done, keep it not back from me.

dby@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.

dby@Joshua:7:21 @ I saw among the spoils a beautiful mantle of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a golden bar of fifty shekels weight, and 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.

dby@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.

dby@Joshua:7:24 @ Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar 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 into the valley of Achor.

dby@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones, [which is there] to this day. And Jehovah turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called, The Valley of Achor, to this day.

dby@Joshua:8:1 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Fear not, neither be dismayed. 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.

dby@Joshua:8:2 @ And thou shalt do to Ai and to its king as thou didst to Jericho and to its king; only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof shall ye take as prey for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.

dby@Joshua:8:3 @ And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose thirty thousand valiant men, and sent them away by night.

dby@Joshua:8:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, See, ye shall be in ambush against the city, behind the city: go not very far from the city, and be all of you ready.

dby@Joshua:8:7 @ And ye shall rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city; and Jehovah your God will deliver it into your hand.

dby@Joshua:8:8 @ And it shall be when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Jehovah shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

dby@Joshua:8:9 @ And Joshua sent them forth; and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night among the people.

dby@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua rose early in the morning, and inspected the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

dby@Joshua:8:11 @ And all the people of war that were with him went up, and drew near, and came before the city; and they encamped on the north of Ai; and the valley was between them and Ai.

dby@Joshua:8:12 @ Now he had taken about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city.

dby@Joshua:8:13 @ And when they had set the people, the whole camp on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

dby@Joshua:8:14 @ And it came to pass when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hasted and rose early, and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the appointed place before the plain. But he knew not that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

dby@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten before them; and they fled by the way of the wilderness.

dby@Joshua:8:20 @ And the men of Ai turned and saw, and behold, the smoke of the city went up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people that fled to the wilderness turned upon the pursuers.

dby@Joshua:8:21 @ When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city went up, they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

dby@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others went 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, until they let none of them escape or flee away.

dby@Joshua:8:23 @ And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

dby@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass when Israel had ended slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they had chased them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.

dby@Joshua:8:25 @ And so it was, that all who fell that day, men as well as women, were twelve thousand, all the people of Ai.

dby@Joshua:8:26 @ And Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out with the javelin, until they had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

dby@Joshua:8:27 @ Only, the cattle and the spoil of the city Israel took as prey to themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which he had commanded Joshua.

dby@Joshua:8:28 @ And Joshua burned Ai, and made it an everlasting heap of desolation to this day.

dby@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening; and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his carcase down from the tree, and threw it down at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised upon it a great heap of stones, [which remains] to this day.

dby@Joshua:8:30 @ Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel, in mount Ebal,

dby@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which iron had not been lifted up. And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

dby@Joshua:8:32 @ And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the children of Israel.

dby@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, and their elders, and their officers and judges, stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the stranger as the home-born [Israelite]; half of them toward mount Gerizim, and the other half of them toward mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel, in the beginning.

dby@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterwards 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.

dby@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel, and the women, and the children, and the strangers that lived among them.

dby@Joshua:9:1 @ And it came to pass when all the kings who were on this side the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and along all the coast of the great sea as far as opposite to Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [of it],

dby@Joshua:9:3 @ And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,

dby@Joshua:9:5 @ and old and patched sandals upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.

dby@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said to him, and to the men of Israel, From a far country are we come; and now make a covenant with us.

dby@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said to the Hivite, Perhaps thou dwellest in the midst of us, and how should I make a covenant with thee?

dby@Joshua:9:9 @ And they said to him, From a very far country are thy servants come, because of the name of Jehovah thy God; for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

dby@Joshua:9:10 @ and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon the king of Heshbon, and to Og the king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

dby@Joshua:9:11 @ And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take victuals in your hand for the way, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants, and now make a covenant with us.

dby@Joshua:9:12 @ This our bread we took warm for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; and now, behold, it is dry, and is become mouldy.
