Be strong and of a good courage; be + not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is + with thee whithersoever thou goest. + +06:001:010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, + +06:001:011 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare + you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this + Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God + giveth you to possess it. + +06:001:012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the + tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, + +06:001:013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD + commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, + and hath given you this land. + +06:001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in + the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye + shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of + valour, and help them; + +06:001:015 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given + you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your + God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your + possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave + you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. + +06:001:016 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us + we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. + +06:001:017 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we + hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he + was with Moses. + +06:001:018 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and + will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest + him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good + courage. + +06:002:001 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy + secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they + went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged + there. + +06:002:002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there + came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to + search out the country. + +06:002:003 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth + the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine + house: for they be come to search out all the country. + +06:002:004 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, + There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were: + +06:002:005 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, + when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went + I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake + them. + +06:002:006 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid + them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon + the roof. + +06:002:007 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the + fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone + out, they shut the gate. + +06:002:008 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the + roof; + +06:002:009 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you + the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all + the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. + +06:002:010 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red + sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto + the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side + Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. + +06:002:011 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, + neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because + of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and + in earth beneath. + +06:002:012 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I + have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto + my father's house, and give me a true token: + +06:002:013 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my + brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver + our lives from death. + +06:002:014 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not + this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given + us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. + +06:002:015 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her + house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. + +06:002:016 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the + pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until + the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way. + +06:002:017 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine + oath which thou hast made us swear. + +06:002:018 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line + of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down + by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy + brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. + +06:002:019 And it shall be, that whosoever shall 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 shall be with thee in + the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon + him. + +06:002:020 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of + thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. + +06:002:021 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she + sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet + line in the window. + +06:002:022 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there + three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers + sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. + +06:002:023 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and + passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him + all things that befell them: + +06:002:024 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into + our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the + country do faint because of us. + +06:003:001 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from + Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of + Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. + +06:003:002 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went + through the host; + +06:003:003 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of + the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites + bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after + it. + +06:003:004 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two + thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may + know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this + way heretofore. + +06:003:005 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to + morrow the LORD will do wonders among you. + +06:003:006 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, 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. + +06:003:007 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to + magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know + that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. + +06:003:008 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the + covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water + of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. + +06:003:009 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and + hear the words of the LORD your God. + +06:003:010 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is + among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before + you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the + Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the + Jebusites. + +06:003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth + passeth over before you into Jordan. + +06:003:012 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, + out of every tribe a man. + +06:003:013 And it shall come to pass, 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 Jordan, that the waters of + Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from + above; and they shall stand upon an heap. + +06:003:014 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, + to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the + covenant before the people; + +06:003:015 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the + feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim + of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the + time of harvest,) + +06:003:016 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up + upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside + Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, + even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people + passed over right against Jericho. + +06:003:017 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD + stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the + Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people + were passed clean over Jordan. + +06:004:001 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed + over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, + +06:004:002 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a + man, + +06:004:003 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst + of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood + firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, + and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this + night. + +06:004:004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the + children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: + +06:004:005 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the + LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every + man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the + number of the tribes of the children of Israel: + +06:004:006 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask + their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these + stones? + +06:004:007 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut + off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed + over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these + stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for + ever. + +06:004:008 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and + took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD + spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of + the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto + the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. + +06:004:009 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the + place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the + covenant stood: and they are there unto this day. + +06:004:010 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of + Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded + Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses + commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over. + +06:004:011 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed + over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, + in the presence of the people. + +06:004:012 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half + the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children + of Israel, as Moses spake unto them: + +06:004:013 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the + LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. + +06:004:014 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all + Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the + days of his life. + +06:004:015 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, + +06:004:016 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that + they come up out of Jordan. + +06:004:017 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out + of Jordan. + +06:004:018 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the + covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, + and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry + land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and + flowed over all his banks, as they did before. + +06:004:019 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the + first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of + Jericho. + +06:004:020 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did + Joshua pitch in Gilgal. + +06:004:021 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your + children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What + mean these stones? + +06:004:022 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over + this Jordan on dry land. + +06:004:023 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from + before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God + did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we + were gone over: + +06:004:024 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the + LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God + for ever. + +06:005:001 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which + were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the + Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had + dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of + Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, + neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the + children of Israel. + +06:005:002 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp + knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second + time. + +06:005:003 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children + of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. + +06:005:004 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the + people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the + men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came + out of Egypt. + +06:005:005 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the + people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they + came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. + +06:005:006 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the + wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which + came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the + voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not + shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers + that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and + honey. + +06:005:007 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them + Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they + had not circumcised them by the way. + +06:005:008 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the + people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they + were whole. + +06:005:009 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the + reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the + place is called Gilgal unto this day. + +06:005:010 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the + passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the + plains of Jericho. + +06:005:011 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow + after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the + selfsame day. + +06:005:012 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the + old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna + any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan + that year. + +06:005:013 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he + lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man + over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua + went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our + adversaries? + +06:005:014 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I + now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did + worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his + servant? + +06:005:015 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy + shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is + holy. And Joshua did so. + +06:006:001 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of + Israel: none went out, and none came in. + +06:006:002 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine + hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of + valour. + +06:006:003 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round + about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. + +06:006:004 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of + rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city + seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. + +06:006:005 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast + with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the + trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and + the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people + shall ascend up every man straight before him. + +06:006:006 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 trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD. + +06:006:007 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, + and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD. + +06:006:008 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, + that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' + horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: + and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them. + +06:006:009 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the + trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests + going on, and blowing with the trumpets. + +06:006:010 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not + shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any + word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; + then shall ye shout. + +06:006:011 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it + once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. + +06:006:012 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up + the ark of the LORD. + +06:006:013 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before + the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the + trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward + came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and + blowing with the trumpets. + +06:006:014 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned + into the camp: so they did six days. + +06:006:015 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early + about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the + same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the + city seven times. + +06:006:016 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew + with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the + LORD hath given you the city. + +06:006:017 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are + therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she + and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the + messengers that we sent. + +06:006:018 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, + lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed + thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. + +06:006:019 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, + are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the + treasury of the LORD. + +06:006:020 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: + and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the + trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the + wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, + every man straight before him, and they took the city. + +06:006:021 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. + +06:006:022 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the + country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the + woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. + +06:006:023 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out + Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and + all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and + left them without the camp of Israel. + +06:006:024 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: + only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of + iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. + +06:006:025 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's + household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel + even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which + Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. + +06:006:026 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the + man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city + Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, + and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. + +06:006:027 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised + throughout all the country. + +06:007:001 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the + accursed thing: for 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 the LORD was kindled against the + children of Israel. + +06:007:002 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside + Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, + Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. + +06:007:003 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; and make not all the people to labour + thither; for they are but few. + +06:007:004 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand + men: and they fled before the men of Ai. + +06:007:005 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for + they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and + smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the + people melted, and became as water. + +06:007:006 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his + face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the + elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. + +06:007:007 And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all + brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand + of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been + content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! + +06:007:008 O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs + before their enemies! + +06:007:009 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall + hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name + from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name? + +06:007:010 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest + thou thus upon thy face? + +06:007:011 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my + covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of + the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, + and they have put it even among their own stuff. + +06:007:012 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their + enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because + they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, + except ye destroy the accursed from among you. + +06:007:013 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against + to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an + accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not + stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed + thing from among you. + +06:007:014 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your + tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh + shall come according to the families thereof; and the family + which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the + household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man. + +06:007:015 And it shall be, that he that is taken 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 folly in Israel. + +06:007:016 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by + their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: + +06:007:017 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of + the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by + man; and Zabdi was taken: + +06:007:018 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of + Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of + Judah, was taken. + +06:007:019 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory + to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and + tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. + +06:007:020 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned + against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: + +06:007:021 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and + two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty + shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, + behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and + the silver under it. + +06:007:022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, + behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. + +06:007:023 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought + them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and + laid them out before the LORD. + +06:007:024 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of + Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, + and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, + and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they + brought them unto the valley of Achor. + +06:007:025 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall + trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, + and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with + stones. + +06:007:026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. + So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore + the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto + this day. + +06:008:001 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou + dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go + up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and + his people, and his city, and his land: + +06:008:002 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto + Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle + thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an + ambush for the city behind it. + +06:008:003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against + Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, + and sent them away by night. + +06:008:004 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait + against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from + the city, but be ye all ready: + +06:008:005 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto + the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out + against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them, + +06:008:006 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from + the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the + first: therefore we will flee before them. + +06:008:007 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the + city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. + +06:008:008 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall + set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD + shall ye do. See, I have commanded you. + +06:008:009 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in + ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of + Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people. + +06:008:010 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the + people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the + people to Ai. + +06:008:011 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, + went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched + on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them + and Ai. + +06:008:012 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in + ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city. + +06:008:013 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was + on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west + of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the + valley. + +06:008:014 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they + hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out + against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time + appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were + liers in ambush against him behind the city. + +06:008:015 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before + them, and fled by the way of the wilderness. + +06:008:016 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. + +06:008:017 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. + +06:008:018 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is + in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And + Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward + the city. + +06:008:019 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran + as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered + into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on + fire. + +06:008:020 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, + behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they + had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that + fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers. + +06:008:021 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken + the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they + turned again, and slew the men of Ai. + +06:008:022 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they + were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on + that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them + remain or escape. + +06:008:023 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua. + +06:008:024 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying + all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness + wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the + edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the + Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the + sword. + +06:008:025 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and + women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai. + +06:008:026 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out + the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants + of Ai. + +06:008:027 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a + prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD + which he commanded Joshua. + +06:008:028 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a + desolation unto this day. + +06:008:029 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as + soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should + take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the + entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great + heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day. + +06:008:030 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in + mount Ebal, + +06:008:031 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of + Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an + altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any + iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, + and sacrificed peace offerings. + +06:008:032 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. + +06:008:033 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their + judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the + priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the + LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; + half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over + against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had + commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. + +06:008:034 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings + and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of + the law. + +06:008:035 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua + read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the + women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were + conversant among them. + +06:009:001 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this + side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the + coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and + the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the + Jebusite, heard thereof; + +06:009:002 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua + and with Israel, with one accord. + +06:009:003 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done + unto Jericho and to Ai, + +06:009:004 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been + ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine + bottles, old, and rent, and bound up; + +06:009:005 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments + upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and + mouldy. + +06:009:006 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto + him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: + now therefore make ye a league with us. + +06:009:007 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye + dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you? + +06:009:008 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua + said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye? + +06:009:009 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants + are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have + heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt, + +06:009:010 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that + were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king + of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth. + +06:009:011 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country + spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, + and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: + therefore now make ye a league with us. + +06:009:012 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses + on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it + is dry, and it is mouldy: + +06:009:013 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, + behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are + become old by reason of the very long journey. + +06:009:014 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at + the mouth of the LORD. + +06:009:015 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, + to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware + unto them. + +06:009:016 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had + made a league with them, that they heard that they were their + neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. + +06:009:017 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their + cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and + Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim. + +06:009:018 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes + of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of + Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes. + +06:009:019 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have + sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we + may not touch them. + +06:009:020 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest + wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto + them. + +06:009:021 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be + hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; + as the princes had promised them. + +06:009:022 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, + Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from + you; when ye dwell among us? + +06:009:023 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be + freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of + water for the house of my God. + +06:009:024 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly + told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his + servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the + inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were + sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this + thing. + +06:009:025 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and + right unto thee to do unto us, do. + +06:009:026 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of + the children of Israel, that they slew them not. + +06:009:027 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of + water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, + even unto this day, in the place which he should choose. + +06:010:001 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had + heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; + as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai + and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace + with Israel, and were among them; + +06:010:002 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as + one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, + and all the men thereof were mighty. + +06:010:003 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king + of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia + king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, + +06:010:004 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it + hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel. + +06:010:005 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of + Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king + of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, + and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before + Gibeon, and made war against it. + +06:010:006 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, + saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us + quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the + Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together + against us. + +06:010:007 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war + with him, and all the mighty men of valour. + +06:010:008 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have + delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them + stand before thee. + +06:010:009 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from + Gilgal all night. + +06:010:010 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them + with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the + way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and + unto Makkedah. + +06:010:011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were + in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great + stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they + were more which died with hailstones than they whom the + children of Israel slew with the sword. + +06:010:012 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD + delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and + he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon + Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. + +06:010:013 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 Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of + heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. + +06:010:014 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. + +06:010:015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to + Gilgal. + +06:010:016 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at + Makkedah. + +06:010:017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid + in a cave at Makkedah. + +06:010:018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, + and set men by it for to keep them: + +06:010:019 And stay ye not, but 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. + +06:010:020 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel + had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, + till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them + entered into fenced cities. + +06:010:021 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah + in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of + Israel. + +06:010:022 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out + those five kings unto me out of the cave. + +06:010:023 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him + out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, + the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of + Eglon. + +06:010:024 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 captains of the men of war which went with him, Come + near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they + came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. + +06:010:025 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be + strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all + your enemies against whom ye fight. + +06:010:026 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged + them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until + the evening. + +06:010:027 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, + that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, + and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and + laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this + very day. + +06:010:028 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge + of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, + and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and + he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of + Jericho. + +06:010:029 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, + unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah: + +06:010:030 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the + hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, + and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; + but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of + Jericho. + +06:010:031 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto + Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it: + +06:010:032 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which + took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the + sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all + that he had done to Libnah. + +06:010:033 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua + smote him and his people, until he had left him none + remaining. + +06:010:034 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with + him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it: + +06:010:035 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of + the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly + destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to + Lachish. + +06:010:036 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto + Hebron; and they fought against it: + +06:010:037 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and + the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the + souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to + all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and + all the souls that were therein. + +06:010:038 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and + fought against it: + +06:010:039 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities + thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and + utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left + none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, + and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to + her king. + +06:010:040 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the + south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their + kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that + breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded. + +06:010:041 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and + all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon. + +06:010:042 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one + time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel. + +06:010:043 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to + Gilgal. + +06:011:001 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those + things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king + of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, + +06:011:002 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and + of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in + the borders of Dor on the west, + +06:011:003 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the + Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite + in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land + of Mizpeh. + +06:011:004 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much + people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in + multitude, with horses and chariots very many. + +06:011:005 And when all these kings were met together, they came and + pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against + Israel. + +06:011:006 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: + for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain + before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their + chariots with fire. + +06:011:007 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against + them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them. + +06:011:008 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote + them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto + Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and + they smote them, until they left them none remaining. + +06:011:009 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed + their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. + +06:011:010 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote + the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the + head of all those kingdoms. + +06:011:011 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge + of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left + to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire. + +06:011:012 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, + did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, + and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the + LORD commanded. + +06:011:013 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, + Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua + burn. + +06:011:014 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the + children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every + man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had + destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe. + +06:011:015 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command + Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that + the LORD commanded Moses. + +06:011:016 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south + country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the + plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same; + +06:011:017 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto + Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all + their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them. + +06:011:018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. + +06:011:019 There was not a city that made peace with the children of + Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other + they took in battle. + +06:011:020 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they + should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy + them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he + might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. + +06:011:021 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the + mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all + the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: + Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. + +06:011:022 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children + of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there + remained. + +06:011:023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD + said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto + Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the + land rested from war. + +06:012:001 Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of + Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side + Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto + mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east: + +06:012:002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled + from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and + from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto + the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of + Ammon; + +06:012:003 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and + unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the + way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah: + +06:012:004 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant + of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei, + +06:012:005 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, + unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and + half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. + +06:012:006 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of + Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a + possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half + tribe of Manasseh. + +06:012:007 And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the + children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from + Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, + that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of + Israel for a possession according to their divisions; + +06:012:008 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and + in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south + country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the + Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: + +06:012:009 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside + Bethel, one; + +06:012:010 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; + +06:012:011 The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; + +06:012:012 The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; + +06:012:013 The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; + +06:012:014 The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; + +06:012:015 The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; + +06:012:016 The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one; + +06:012:017 The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one; + +06:012:018 The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; + +06:012:019 The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; + +06:012:020 The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; + +06:012:021 The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; + +06:012:022 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one; + +06:012:023 The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the + nations of Gilgal, one; + +06:012:024 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one. + +06:013:001 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said + unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there + remaineth yet very much land to be possessed. + +06:013:002 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the + Philistines, and all Geshuri, + +06:013:003 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of + Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords + of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the + Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the + Avites: + +06:013:004 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah + that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the + Amorites: + +06:013:005 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the + sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering + into Hamath. + +06:013:006 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto + Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out + from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot + unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded + thee. + +06:013:007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the + nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh, + +06:013:008 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their + inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, + even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them; + +06:013:009 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the + city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of + Medeba unto Dibon; + +06:013:010 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which + reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon; + +06:013:011 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, + and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; + +06:013:012 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth + and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for + these did Moses smite, and cast them out. + +06:013:013 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the + Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the + Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day. + +06:013:014 Only unto the tribes of Levi he gave none inheritance; the + sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their + inheritance, as he said unto them. + +06:013:015 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben + inheritance according to their families. + +06:013:016 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the + river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, + and all the plain by Medeba; + +06:013:017 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and + Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, + +06:013:018 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, + +06:013:019 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of + the valley, + +06:013:020 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth, + +06:013:021 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon + king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses + smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and + Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the + country. + +06:013:022 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children + of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by + them. + +06:013:023 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the + border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of + Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages + thereof. + +06:013:024 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto + the children of Gad according to their families. + +06:013:025 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and + half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is + before Rabbah; + +06:013:026 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from + Mahanaim unto the border of Debir; + +06:013:027 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and + Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, + Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of + Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward. + +06:013:028 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their + families, the cities, and their villages. + +06:013:029 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: + and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children + of Manasseh by their families. + +06:013:030 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom + of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in + Bashan, threescore cities: + +06:013:031 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the + kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of + Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the + children of Machir by their families. + +06:013:032 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for + inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, + by Jericho, eastward. + +06:013:033 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the + LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto + them. + +06:014:001 And these are the countries which the children of Israel + inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and + Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the + tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance + to them. + +06:014:002 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the + hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe. + +06:014:003 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half + tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave + none inheritance among them. + +06:014:004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and + Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the + land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their + cattle and for their substance. + +06:014:005 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, + and they divided the land. + +06:014:006 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and + Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou + knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God + concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. + +06:014:007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent + me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him + word again as it was in mine heart. + +06:014:008 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart + of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. + +06:014:009 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon + thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy + children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the + LORD my God. + +06:014:010 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, + these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this + word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the + wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five + years old. + +06:014:011 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses + sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, + for war, both to go out, and to come in. + +06:014:012 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in + that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were + there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the + LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, + as the LORD said. + +06:014:013 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of + Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance. + +06:014:014 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of + Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly + followed the LORD God of Israel. + +06:014:015 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was + a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war. + +06:015:001 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by + their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of + Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. + +06:015:002 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, + from the bay that looketh southward: + +06:015:003 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and + passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto + Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, + and fetched a compass to Karkaa: + +06:015:004 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the + river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the + sea: this shall be your south coast. + +06:015:005 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of + Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay + of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan: + +06:015:006 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the + north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of + Bohan the son of Reuben: + +06:015:007 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, + and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the + going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: + and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the + goings out thereof were at Enrogel: + +06:015:008 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto + the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the + border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before + the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the + valley of the giants northward: + +06:015:009 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the + fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities + of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is + Kirjathjearim: + +06:015:010 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, + and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is + Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and + passed on to Timnah: + +06:015:011 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and + the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount + Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the + border were at the sea. + +06:015:012 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast + thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round + about according to their families. + +06:015:013 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the + children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to + Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city + is Hebron. + +06:015:014 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and + Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. + +06:015:015 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the + name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher. + +06:015:016 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, + to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. + +06:015:017 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: + and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. + +06:015:018 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him + to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and + Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? + +06:015:019 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a + south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the + upper springs, and the nether springs. + +06:015:020 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah + according to their families. + +06:015:021 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah + toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and + Jagur, + +06:015:022 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, + +06:015:023 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, + +06:015:024 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, + +06:015:025 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor, + +06:015:026 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, + +06:015:027 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet, + +06:015:028 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah, + +06:015:029 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem, + +06:015:030 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, + +06:015:031 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, + +06:015:032 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities + are twenty and nine, with their villages: + +06:015:033 And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, + +06:015:034 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam, + +06:015:035 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, + +06:015:036 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; + fourteen cities with their villages: + +06:015:037 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad, + +06:015:038 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, + +06:015:039 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, + +06:015:040 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish, + +06:015:041 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen + cities with their villages: + +06:015:042 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, + +06:015:043 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, + +06:015:044 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their + villages: + +06:015:045 Ekron, with her towns and her villages: + +06:015:046 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with + their villages: + +06:015:047 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns + and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, + and the border thereof: + +06:015:048 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, + +06:015:049 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir, + +06:015:050 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, + +06:015:051 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their + villages: + +06:015:052 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, + +06:015:053 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah, + +06:015:054 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine + cities with their villages: + +06:015:055 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah, + +06:015:056 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, + +06:015:057 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages: + +06:015:058 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor, + +06:015:059 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their + villages: + +06:015:060 Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities + with their villages: + +06:015:061 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah, + +06:015:062 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with + their villages. + +06:015:063 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the + children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites + dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day. + +06:016:001 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by + Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the + wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel, + +06:016:002 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the + borders of Archi to Ataroth, + +06:016:003 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the + coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings + out thereof are at the sea. + +06:016:004 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their + inheritance. + +06:016:005 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their + families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the + east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper; + +06:016:006 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the + north side; and the border went about eastward unto + Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah; + +06:016:007 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and + came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. + +06:016:008 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river + Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the + inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their + families. + +06:016:009 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among + the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities + with their villages. + +06:016:010 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but + the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and + serve under tribute. + +06:017:001 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the + firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of + Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, + therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. + +06:017:002 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh + by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the + children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the + children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for + the children of Shemida: these were the male children of + Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families. + +06:017:003 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son + of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: + and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, + Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. + +06:017:004 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before + Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The + LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our + brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD + he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their + father. + +06:017:005 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of + Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan; + +06:017:006 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his + sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. + +06:017:007 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that + lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right + hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah. + +06:017:008 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the + border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim; + +06:017:009 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the + river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of + Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of + the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea: + +06:017:010 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, + and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on + the north, and in Issachar on the east. + +06:017:011 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her + towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor + and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and + the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants + of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries. + +06:017:012 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the + inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in + that land. + +06:017:013 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen + strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not + utterly drive them out. + +06:017:014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast + thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I + am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me + hitherto? + +06:017:015 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get + thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in + the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim + be too narrow for thee. + +06:017:016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for + us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the + valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean + and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel. + +06:017:017 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and + to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great + power: thou shalt not have one lot only: + +06:017:018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou + shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for + thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron + chariots, and though they be strong. + +06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled + together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the + congregation there. And the land was subdued before them. + +06:018:002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, + which had not yet received their inheritance. + +06:018:003 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye + slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your + fathers hath given you? + +06:018:004 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will + send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and + describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they + shall come again to me. + +06:018:005 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide + in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall + abide in their coasts on the north. + +06:018:006 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and + bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for + you here before the LORD our God. + +06:018:007 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of + the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half + the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond + Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave + them. + +06:018:008 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that + went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the + land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here + cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh. + +06:018:009 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it + by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua + to the host at Shiloh. + +06:018:010 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and + there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel + according to their divisions. + +06:018:011 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up + according to their families: and the coast of their lot came + forth between the children of Judah and the children of + Joseph. + +06:018:012 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the + border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and + went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out + thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven. + +06:018:013 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side + of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended + to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of + the nether Bethhoron. + +06:018:014 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of + the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron + southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, + which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this + was the west quarter. + +06:018:015 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and + the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of + waters of Nephtoah: + +06:018:016 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth + before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the + valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley + of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended + to Enrogel, + +06:018:017 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and + went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up + of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of + Reuben, + +06:018:018 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah + northward, and went down unto Arabah: + +06:018:019 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah + northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north + bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the + south coast. + +06:018:020 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the + inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof + round about, according to their families. + +06:018:021 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin + according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and + the valley of Keziz, + +06:018:022 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel, + +06:018:023 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah, + +06:018:024 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with + their villages: + +06:018:025 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth, + +06:018:026 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah, + +06:018:027 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah, + +06:018:028 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and + Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the + inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their + families. + +06:019:001 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of + the children of Simeon according to their families: and their + inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of + Judah. + +06:019:002 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and + Moladah, + +06:019:003 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem, + +06:019:004 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, + +06:019:005 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah, + +06:019:006 And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their + villages: + +06:019:007 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their + villages: + +06:019:008 And all the villages that were round about these cities to + Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of + the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their + families. + +06:019:009 Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the + inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the + children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the + children of Simeon had their inheritance within the + inheritance of them. + +06:019:010 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun + according to their families: and the border of their + inheritance was unto Sarid: + +06:019:011 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and + reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before + Jokneam; + +06:019:012 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the + border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and + goeth up to Japhia, + +06:019:013 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, + to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah; + +06:019:014 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: + and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel: + +06:019:015 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and + Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages. + +06:019:016 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according + to their families, these cities with their villages. + +06:019:017 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of + Issachar according to their families. + +06:019:018 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and + Shunem, + +06:019:019 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath, + +06:019:020 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez, + +06:019:021 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez; + +06:019:022 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and + Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: + sixteen cities with their villages. + +06:019:023 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of + Issachar according to their families, the cities and their + villages. + +06:019:024 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of + Asher according to their families. + +06:019:025 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and + Achshaph, + +06:019:026 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel + westward, and to Shihorlibnath; + +06:019:027 And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to + Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side + of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left + hand, + +06:019:028 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great + Zidon; + +06:019:029 And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city + Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings + thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib: + +06:019:030 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with + their villages. + +06:019:031 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher + according to their families, these cities with their villages. + +06:019:032 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for + the children of Naphtali according to their families. + +06:019:033 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and + Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings + thereof were at Jordan: + +06:019:034 And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth + out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the + south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to + Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising. + +06:019:035 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, + and Chinnereth, + +06:019:036 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor, + +06:019:037 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor, + +06:019:038 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh;

So they made an end of + dividing the country. + +06:020:001 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, + +06:020:002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you + cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of + Moses: + +06:020:003 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and + unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge + from the avenger of blood. + +06:020:004 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall + stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall + declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they + shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, + that he may dwell among them. + +06:020:005 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall + not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his + neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. + +06:020:006 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the + congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high + priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer + return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, + unto the city from whence he fled. + +06:020:007 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and + Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in + the mountain of Judah. + +06:020:008 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they + assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the + tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, + and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. + +06:020:009 These were the cities appointed for all the children of + Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that + whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, + and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he + stood before the congregation. + +06:021:001 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto + Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto + the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of + Israel; + +06:021:002 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, + saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us + cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle. + +06:021:003 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their + inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and + their suburbs. + +06:021:004 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and + the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, + had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of + Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities. + +06:021:005 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the + families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, + and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities. + +06:021:006 And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of + the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out + of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of + Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities. + +06:021:007 The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe + of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe + of Zebulun, twelve cities. + +06:021:008 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these + cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand + of Moses. + +06:021:009 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and + out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which + are here mentioned by name. + +06:021:010 Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the + Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs + was the first lot. + +06:021:011 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which + city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs + thereof round about it. + +06:021:012 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave + they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession. + +06:021:013 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with + her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah + with her suburbs, + +06:021:014 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs, + +06:021:015 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs, + +06:021:016 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and + Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two + tribes. + +06:021:017 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, + Geba with her suburbs, + +06:021:018 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four + cities. + +06:021:019 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were + thirteen cities with their suburbs. + +06:021:020 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which + remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities + of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. + +06:021:021 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, + to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her + suburbs, + +06:021:022 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; + four cities. + +06:021:023 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, + Gibbethon with her suburbs, + +06:021:024 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four + cities. + +06:021:025 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her + suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities. + +06:021:026 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of + the children of Kohath that remained. + +06:021:027 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the + Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave + Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for + the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities. + +06:021:028 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, + Dabareh with her suburbs, + +06:021:029 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four + cities. + +06:021:030 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon + with her suburbs, + +06:021:031 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four + cities. + +06:021:032 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her + suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor + with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities. + +06:021:033 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families + were thirteen cities with their suburbs. + +06:021:034 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of + the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her + suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs, + +06:021:035 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four + cities. + +06:021:036 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and + Jahazah with her suburbs, + +06:021:037 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four + cities. + +06:021:038 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her + suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim + with her suburbs, + +06:021:039 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities + in all. + +06:021:040 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their + families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, + were by their lot twelve cities. + +06:021:041 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the + children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their + suburbs. + +06:021:042 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about + them: thus were all these cities. + +06:021:043 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to + give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt + therein. + +06:021:044 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that + he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all + their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their + enemies into their hand. + +06:021:045 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had + spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. + +06:022:001 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the + half tribe of Manasseh, + +06:022:002 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of + the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I + commanded you: + +06:022:003 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, + but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your + God. + +06:022:004 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, + as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto + your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses + the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan. + +06:022:005 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, + which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the + LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his + commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with + all your heart and with all your soul. + +06:022:006 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto + their tents. + +06:022:007 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given + possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave + Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And + when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he + blessed them, + +06:022:008 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto + your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with + gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much + raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren. + +06:022:009 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the + half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the + children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of + Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their + possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word + of the LORD by the hand of Moses. + +06:022:010 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the + land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad + and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, + a great altar to see to. + +06:022:011 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of + Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh + have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the + borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel. + +06:022:012 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole + congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves + together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them. + +06:022:013 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, + and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, + into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the + priest, + +06:022:014 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince + throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head + of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel. + +06:022:015 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children + of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of + Gilead, and they spake with them, saying, + +06:022:016 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass + is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to + turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have + builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the + LORD? + +06:022:017 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are + not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in + the congregation of the LORD, + +06:022:018 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? + and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that + to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of + Israel. + +06:022:019 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, + then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, + wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession + among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against + us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our + God. + +06:022:020 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the + accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of + Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity. + +06:022:021 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the + half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of + the thousands of Israel, + +06:022:022 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and + Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in + transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,) + +06:022:023 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the + LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, + or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself + require it; + +06:022:024 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, + saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our + children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of + Israel? + +06:022:025 For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye + children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the + LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from + fearing the LORD. + +06:022:026 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, + not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: + +06:022:027 But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our + generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD + before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, + and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say + to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD. + +06:022:028 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say + to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say + again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our + fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but + it is a witness between us and you. + +06:022:029 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn + this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt + offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the + altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle. + +06:022:030 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the + congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were + with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the + children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased + them. + +06:022:031 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the + children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the + children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is + among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against + the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of + the hand of the LORD. + +06:022:032 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, + returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of + Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to + the children of Israel, and brought them word again. + +06:022:033 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children + of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against + them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of + Reuben and Gad dwelt. + +06:022:034 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the + altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD + is God. + +06:023:001 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given + rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that + Joshua waxed old and stricken in age. + +06:023:002 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and + for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, + and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age: + +06:023:003 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all + these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that + hath fought for you. + +06:023:004 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that + remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, + with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great + sea westward. + +06:023:005 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, + and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess + their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you. + +06:023:006 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is + written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not + aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; + +06:023:007 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among + you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause + to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto + them: + +06:023:008 But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this + day. + +06:023:009 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and + strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before + you unto this day. + +06:023:010 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, + he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. + +06:023:011 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the + LORD your God. + +06:023:012 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant + of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall + make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to + you: + +06:023:013 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive + out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be + snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and + thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land + which the LORD your God hath given you. + +06:023:014 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and + ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one + thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your + God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and + not one thing hath failed thereof. + +06:023:015 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are + come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall + the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have + destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God + hath given you. + +06:023:016 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, + which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, + and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD + be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off + the good land which he hath given unto you. + +06:024:001 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and + called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for + their judges, and for their officers; and they presented + themselves before God. + +06:024:002 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God + of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood + in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father + of Nachor: and they served other gods. + +06:024:003 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the + flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and + multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac. + +06:024:004 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau + mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went + down into Egypt. + +06:024:005 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to + that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. + +06:024:006 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the + sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with + chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. + +06:024:007 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you + and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered + them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and + ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season. + +06:024:008 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt + on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave + them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I + destroyed them from before you. + +06:024:009 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred + against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to + curse you: + +06:024:010 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you + still: so I delivered you out of his hand. + +06:024:011 And you went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men + of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the + Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the + Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered + them into your hand. + +06:024:012 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from + before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with + thy sword, nor with thy bow. + +06:024:013 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and + cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the + vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat. + +06:024:014 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in + truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the + other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. + +06:024:015 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you + this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your + fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or + the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for + me and my house, we will serve the LORD. + +06:024:016 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should + forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; + +06:024:017 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our + fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, + and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us + in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people + through whom we passed: + +06:024:018 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the + Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve + the LORD; for he is our God. + +06:024:019 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for + he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive + your transgressions nor your sins. + +06:024:020 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will + turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done + you good. + +06:024:021 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the + LORD. + +06:024:022 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against + yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And + they said, We are witnesses. + +06:024:023 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are + among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel. + +06:024:024 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we + serve, and his voice will we obey. + +06:024:025 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set + them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. + +06:024:026 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, + and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that + was by the sanctuary of the LORD. + +06:024:027 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall + be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the + LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness + unto you, lest ye deny your God. + +06:024:028 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his + inheritance. + +06:024:029 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of + Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten + years old. + +06:024:030 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in + Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of + the hill of Gaash. + +06:024:031 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the + days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known + all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel. + +06:024:032 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought + up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground + which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem + for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance + of the children of Joseph. + +06:024:033 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a + hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him + in mount Ephraim. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, KING JAMES, BOOK 6 *** + +********* This file should be named 8006.txt or 8006.zip ********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger +See above the credits to previous producers of this text. + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
