{\MT The Book of Joshua



\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
after the
death of
Moses the
servant of the
{\ND{LORD}} it came to pass, that the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto
Joshua the
son of
Nun,
Moses’
minister,
saying,

\VS{2}Moses my
servant is
dead; now therefore
arise, go
over this
Jordan, thou, and all this
people, unto the
land which I do
give to them,
{\ADD{even}} to the
children of
Israel.

\VS{3}Every
place that the
sole of your
foot shall tread
upon, that have I
given unto you, as I
said unto
Moses.

\VS{4}From the
wilderness and this
Lebanon even unto the
great
river, the
river
Euphrates, all the
land of the
Hittites, and unto the
great
sea toward the going
down of the
sun, shall be your
coast.

\VS{5}There shall not any
man be able to
stand
before thee all the
days of thy
life: as I was with
Moses,
{\ADD{so}} I will be with thee: I will not
fail thee, nor
forsake thee.

\VS{6}Be
strong and of a good
courage: for unto this
people shalt thou divide for an
inheritance the
land, which I
sware unto their
fathers to
give them.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1.6 }{\FT{unto this…: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc}}}

\VS{7}Only be thou
strong and
very
courageous, that thou mayest
observe to
do according to all the
law, which
Moses my
servant
commanded thee:
turn not from it
{\ADD{to}} the right
hand or
{\ADD{to}} the
left, that thou mayest
prosper whithersoever thou
goest.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1.7 }{\FT{prosper: or, do wisely}}}

\VS{8}This
book of the
law shall not
depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein
day and
night, that thou mayest
observe to
do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt
make thy
way
prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1.8 }{\FT{have…: or, do wisely}}}

\VS{9}Have not I
commanded thee? Be
strong and of a good
courage; be not
afraid, neither be thou
dismayed: for the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God
{\ADD{is}} with thee whithersoever thou
goest.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}¶ Then
Joshua
commanded the
officers of the
people,
saying,

\VS{11}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
{\ND{LORD}} your
God
giveth you to
possess it.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}¶ And to the
Reubenites, and to the
Gadites, and to
half the
tribe of
Manasseh,
spake
Joshua,
saying,

\VS{13}Remember the
word which
Moses the
servant of the
{\ND{LORD}}
commanded you,
saying, The
{\ND{LORD}} your
God hath given you
rest, and hath
given you this
land.

\VS{14}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;\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1.14 }{\FT{armed: Heb. marshalled by five}}}

\VS{15}Until the
{\ND{LORD}} have
given your
brethren
rest, as
{\ADD{he hath given}} you, and they also have
possessed the
land which the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God
giveth them: then ye shall
return unto the
land of your
possession, and
enjoy it, which
Moses the
{\ND{LORD’s}}
servant
gave you on this
side
Jordan toward the
sunrising.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}¶ And they
answered
Joshua,
saying, All that thou
commandest us we will
do, and
whithersoever thou
sendest us, we will
go.

\VS{17}According as we
hearkened unto
Moses in all things, so will we
hearken unto thee: only the
{\ND{LORD}} thy
God be with thee, as he was with
Moses.

\VS{18}Whosoever
{\ADD{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.




\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}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.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2.1 }{\FT{sent: or, had sent}}}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2.1 }{\FT{lodged: Heb. lay}}}

\VS{2}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.

\VS{3}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.

\VS{4}And the
woman
took the
two
men, and
hid them, and
said thus, There
came
men unto me, but I
wist not
whence they
{\ADD{were:}}

\VS{5}And it came to pass
{\ADD{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.

\VS{6}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.

\VS{7}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}¶ And before they were laid
down, she came
up unto them upon the
roof;

\VS{9}And she
said unto the
men, I
know that the
{\ND{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.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 2.9 }{\FT{faint: Heb. melt}}}

\VS{10}For we have
heard how the
{\ND{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
{\ADD{were}} on the other
side
Jordan,
Sihon and
Og, whom ye utterly
destroyed.

\VS{11}And as soon as we had
heard
{\ADD{these things}}, our
hearts did
melt, neither did there
remain any more
courage in any
man,
because of you: for the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God, he
{\ADD{is}}
God in
heaven
above, and in
earth beneath.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 2.11 }{\FT{did there…: Heb. rose up}}}

\VS{12}Now therefore, I pray you,
swear unto me by the
{\ND{LORD}},
since I have
shewed you
kindness, that ye will also
shew
kindness unto my
father’s
house, and
give me a
true
token:

\VS{13}And
{\ADD{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.

\VS{14}And the
men
answered her, Our
life for
yours, if ye
utter not this our
business. And it shall be, when the
{\ND{LORD}} hath
given us the
land, that we will
deal
kindly and
truly with thee.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 2.14 }{\FT{for…: Heb. instead of you to die}}}

\VS{15}Then she let them
down by a
cord
through the
window: for her
house
{\ADD{was}} upon the
town
wall, and she
dwelt upon the
wall.

\VS{16}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.

\VS{17}And the
men
said unto her, We
{\ADD{will be}}
blameless of this thine
oath which thou hast made us
swear.

\VS{18}Behold,
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 2.18 }{\FT{bring: Heb. gather}}}

\VS{19}And it shall be,
{\ADD{that}}
whosoever shall go
out of the
doors of thy
house into the
street, his
blood
{\ADD{shall be}} upon his
head, and we
{\ADD{will be}}
guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the
house, his
blood
{\ADD{shall be}} on our
head, if
{\ADD{any}}
hand be upon him.

\VS{20}And if thou
utter this our
business, then we will be
quit of thine
oath which thou hast made us to
swear.

\VS{21}And she
said, According unto your
words, so
{\ADD{be}} it. And she sent them
away, and they
departed: and she
bound the
scarlet
line in the
window.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}And they
went, and
came unto the
mountain, and
abode there
three
days, until the
pursuers were
returned: and the
pursuers
sought
{\ADD{them}} throughout all the
way, but
found
{\ADD{them}} not.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}¶ 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
{\ADD{things}} that
befell them:

\VS{24}And they
said unto
Joshua,
Truly the
{\ND{LORD}} hath
delivered into our
hands all the
land; for even all the
inhabitants of the
country do
faint
because of us.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 2.24 }{\FT{faint: Heb. melt}}}




\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}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.

\VS{2}And it came to pass
after
three
days, that the
officers
went
through the
host;

\VS{3}And they
commanded the
people,
saying, When ye
see the
ark of the
covenant of the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God, and the
priests the
Levites
bearing it, then ye shall
remove from your
place, and
go
after it.

\VS{4}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
{\ADD{this}}
way
heretofore.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3.4 }{\FT{heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}}}

\VS{5}And
Joshua
said unto the
people,
Sanctify yourselves: for to
morrow the
{\ND{LORD}} will
do
wonders
among you.

\VS{6}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}¶ And the
{\ND{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,
{\ADD{so}} I will be with thee.

\VS{8}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And
Joshua
said unto the
children of
Israel, Come
hither, and
hear the
words of the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God.

\VS{10}And
Joshua
said, Hereby ye shall
know that the
living
God
{\ADD{is}}
among you, and
{\ADD{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.

\VS{11}Behold, the
ark of the
covenant of the
Lord of all the
earth passeth
over
before you into
Jordan.

\VS{12}Now therefore
take you
twelve
men out of the
tribes of
Israel, out of
every
tribe a
man.

\VS{13}And it shall come to pass, as soon as the
soles of the
feet of the
priests that
bear the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}}, the
Lord of all the
earth, shall
rest in the
waters of
Jordan,
{\ADD{that}} the
waters of
Jordan shall be cut
off
{\ADD{from}} the
waters that come
down from
above; and they shall
stand upon
an
heap.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}¶ 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;

\VS{15}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,)

\VS{16}That the
waters which came
down from
above
stood
{\ADD{and}} rose
up upon
an
heap
very
far from the
city
Adam, that
{\ADD{is}}
beside
Zaretan: and those that came
down toward the
sea of the
plain,
{\ADD{even}} the
salt
sea,
failed,
{\ADD{and}} were cut
off: and the
people passed
over right against
Jericho.

\VS{17}And the
priests that
bare the
ark of the
covenant of the
{\ND{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.




\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And it came to pass, when all the
people were
clean passed
over
Jordan, that the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto
Joshua,
saying,

\VS{2}Take you
twelve
men out of the
people, out of
every
tribe a
man,

\VS{3}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.

\VS{4}Then
Joshua
called the
twelve
men, whom he had
prepared of the
children of
Israel, out of
every
tribe a
man:

\VS{5}And
Joshua
said unto them, Pass
over
before the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God into the
midst of
Jordan, and take ye
up
every
man of you a
stone upon his
shoulder, according unto the
number of the
tribes of the
children of
Israel:

\VS{6}That this may be a
sign
among you,
{\ADD{that}} when your
children
ask
{\ADD{their fathers}} in time to
come,
saying, What
{\ADD{mean}} ye by these
stones?\FTNT{*}{{\FR 4.6 }{\FT{in time…: Heb. to morrow}}}

\VS{7}Then ye shall
answer them, That the
waters of
Jordan were cut
off
before the
ark of the
covenant of the
{\ND{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.

\VS{8}And the
children of
Israel
did so as
Joshua
commanded, and took
up
twelve
stones out of the
midst of
Jordan, as the
{\ND{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.

\VS{9}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}¶ For the
priests which
bare the
ark
stood in the
midst of
Jordan, until every
thing was
finished that the
{\ND{LORD}}
commanded
Joshua to
speak unto the
people, according to all that
Moses
commanded
Joshua: and the
people
hasted and passed
over.

\VS{11}And it came to pass, when all the
people were
clean passed
over, that the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}} passed
over, and the
priests, in the
presence of the
people.

\VS{12}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:

\VS{13}About
forty
thousand
prepared for
war passed
over
before the
{\ND{LORD}} unto
battle, to the
plains of
Jericho.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4.13 }{\FT{prepared: or, ready armed}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{14}¶ On that
day the
{\ND{LORD}}
magnified
Joshua in the
sight of all
Israel; and they
feared him, as they
feared
Moses, all the
days of his
life.

\VS{15}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
spake unto
Joshua,
saying,

\VS{16}Command the
priests that
bear the
ark of the
testimony, that they come
up out of
Jordan.

\VS{17}Joshua therefore
commanded the
priests,
saying, Come ye
up out of
Jordan.

\VS{18}And it came to pass, when the
priests that
bare the
ark of the
covenant of the
{\ND{LORD}} were come
up out of the
midst of
Jordan,
{\ADD{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
{\ADD{they did}}
before.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4.18 }{\FT{lifted…: Heb. plucked up}}}\FTNT{§}{{\FR 4.18 }{\FT{flowed: Heb. went}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{19}¶ And the
people came
up out of
Jordan on the
tenth
{\ADD{day}} of the
first
month, and
encamped in
Gilgal, in the
east
border of
Jericho.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}And those
twelve
stones, which they took
out of
Jordan, did
Joshua
pitch in
Gilgal.

\VS{21}And he
spake unto the
children of
Israel,
saying, When your
children shall
ask their
fathers in time to
come,
saying, What
{\ADD{mean}} these
stones?\FTNT{**}{{\FR 4.21 }{\FT{in time…: Heb. to morrow}}}

\VS{22}Then ye shall let your
children
know,
saying,
Israel came
over this
Jordan on dry
land.

\VS{23}For the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God dried
up the
waters of
Jordan from
before you, until ye were passed
over, as the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God
did to the
Red
sea, which he dried
up from
before us, until we were gone
over:

\VS{24}That all the
people of the
earth might
know the
hand of the
{\ND{LORD}}, that it
{\ADD{is}}
mighty: that ye might
fear the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God for
ever.\FTNT{††}{{\FR 4.24 }{\FT{for ever: Heb. all days}}}




\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And it came to pass, when all the
kings of the
Amorites, which
{\ADD{were}} on the
side of
Jordan
westward, and all the
kings of the
Canaanites, which
{\ADD{were}} by the
sea,
heard that the
{\ND{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}¶ At that
time the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Joshua,
Make thee
sharp
knives, and
circumcise
again the
children of
Israel the second
time.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 5.2 }{\FT{sharp…: or, knives of flints}}}

\VS{3}And
Joshua
made him
sharp
knives, and
circumcised the
children of
Israel at the
hill of the
foreskins.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 5.3 }{\FT{sharp…: or, knives of flints}}}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 5.3 }{\FT{the hill…: or, Gibeah-haaraloth}}}

\VS{4}And this
{\ADD{is}} the
cause why
Joshua did
circumcise: All the
people that came
out of
Egypt,
{\ADD{that were}}
males,
{\ADD{even}} all the
men of
war,
died in the
wilderness by the
way, after they came
out of
Egypt.

\VS{5}Now all the
people that came
out were
circumcised: but all the
people
{\ADD{that were}}
born in the
wilderness by the
way as they came
forth out of
Egypt,
{\ADD{them}} they had not
circumcised.

\VS{6}For the
children of
Israel
walked
forty
years in the
wilderness, till all the
people
{\ADD{that were}}
men of
war, which came
out of
Egypt, were
consumed, because they
obeyed not the
voice of the
{\ND{LORD}}: unto whom the
{\ND{LORD}}
sware that he would not
shew them the
land, which the
{\ND{LORD}}
sware unto their
fathers that he would
give us, a
land that
floweth with
milk and
honey.

\VS{7}And their
children,
{\ADD{whom}} he raised
up in their stead, them
Joshua
circumcised: for they were
uncircumcised, because they had not
circumcised them by the
way.

\VS{8}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.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 5.8 }{\FT{they had…: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised}}}

\VS{9}And the
{\ND{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.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 5.9 }{\FT{Gilgal: that is Rolling}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{10}¶ 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.

\VS{11}And they did
eat of the old
corn of the
land on the
morrow after the
passover, unleavened
cakes, and
parched
{\ADD{corn}} in the
selfsame
day.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}¶ 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}¶ 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,
{\ADD{Art}} thou for us, or for our
adversaries?

\VS{14}And he
said, Nay; but
{\ADD{as}}
captain of the
host of the
{\ND{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?\FTNT{††}{{\FR 5.14 }{\FT{captain: or, prince}}}

\VS{15}And the
captain of the
{\ND{LORD’s}}
host
said unto
Joshua,
Loose thy
shoe from off thy
foot; for the
place whereon thou
standest
{\ADD{is}}
holy. And
Joshua
did so.




\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now
Jericho was
straitly shut
up
because of the
children of
Israel: none went
out, and none came
in.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 6.1 }{\FT{was…: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up}}}

\VS{2}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Joshua,
See, I have
given into thine
hand
Jericho, and the
king thereof,
{\ADD{and}} the mighty
men of
valour.

\VS{3}And ye shall
compass the
city, all
{\ADD{ye}}
men of
war,
{\ADD{and}} go round
about the
city
once. Thus shalt thou
do

\VS{7}And he
said unto the

Joshua had

on
before the

blew with the
trumpets: and the

followed
them.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ And the
armed men
went
before the

came
after the

{\ADD{the priests}} going
on, and
blowing with the
trumpets.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 6.9 }{\FT{rereward: Heb. gathering host}}}

\VS{10}And
Joshua had

saying, Ye shall not

proceed out of your
mouth, until the

bid you
shout; then shall ye
shout.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 6.10 }{\FT{any noise…: Heb. your voice to be heard}}}

\VS{11}So the
ark of the

compassed the
city, going
about

came into the
camp, and
lodged in the
camp.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}¶ And
Joshua rose
early in the
morning, and the

up the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{13}And
seven
priests
bearing
seven
trumpets of
rams’ horns
before the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}} went
on
continually, and
blew with the
trumpets: and the armed
men
went
before them; but the

came
after the
ark of the
{\ND{LORD}},
{\ADD{the priests}} going
on, and
blowing with the
trumpets.

\VS{14}And the
second
day they
compassed the
city
once, and
returned into the
camp: so they
did
six
days.

\VS{15}And it came to pass on the
seventh
day, that they rose
early about the
dawning of the
day, and
compassed the
city after the same
manner
seven
times: only on that
day they
compassed the
city
seven
times.

\VS{16}And it came to pass at the
seventh
time, when the
priests
blew with the
trumpets,
Joshua
said unto the
people,
Shout; for the
{\ND{LORD}} hath
given you the
city.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}¶ And the
city shall be
accursed,

Rahab the

live, she and all that
{\ADD{are}} with her in the

hid the
messengers that we
sent.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 6.17 }{\FT{accursed: or, devoted}}}

\VS{18}And ye, in any

keep
{\ADD{yourselves}} from the accursed

take of the accursed

\VS{20}So the
people
shouted when
{\ADD{the priests}}
blew with the
trumpets: and it came to pass, when the

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.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 6.20 }{\FT{flat: Heb. under it}}}

\VS{21}And they utterly
destroyed all that
{\ADD{was}} in the
city, both
man and
woman,
young and

ox, and
sheep, and
ass, with the
edge of the
sword.

\VS{22}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.

\VS{23}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.\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 6.23 }{\FT{kindred: Heb. families}}}

\VS{24}And they
burnt the
city with
fire, and all that
{\ADD{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
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{25}And
Joshua
saved
Rahab the
harlot
alive, and her
father’s
household, and all that she had; and she
dwelleth
in
Israel
{\ADD{even}} unto this
day; because she
hid the
messengers, which
Joshua
sent to spy
out
Jericho.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}¶ And
Joshua
adjured
{\ADD{them}} at that
time,
saying,
Cursed

up and
buildeth this
city
Jericho: he shall lay the
foundation thereof in his
firstborn, and in his
youngest
{\ADD{son}} shall he set
up the

\VS{27}So the
{\ND{LORD}} was with
Joshua; and his
fame was
{\ADD{noised}} throughout all the
country.




\par }\Chap{7}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But the

committed a

took of the accursed

spake unto them,
saying, Go

returned to

said unto him, Let not all the

smote of them about
thirty and

chased them

put

said, Alas,

\VS{11}Israel hath

commanded them: for they have even
taken of the accursed

stolen, and
dissembled also, and they have
put

\VS{12}Therefore the
children of

could not
stand

{\ADD{but}}
turned

{\ADD{There is}} an accursed

canst not
stand
before thine

said unto

make

answered
Joshua, and
said,
Indeed I have
sinned against the

done:

saw among the

a

\VS{23}And they
took them out of the

brought them unto the

Achor.

\VS{25}And
Joshua
said,
Why hast thou
troubled us? the
{\ND{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.

\VS{26}And they
raised over him a
great
heap of
stones unto this
day. So the
{\ND{LORD}}
turned from the

called, The

said unto
Joshua,
Fear not, neither be thou

see, I have
given into thy

out
against us, as at the

say, They

Joshua therefore sent them
forth: and they

{\ADD{were}} with him, went
up, and drew
nigh, and
came before the

pitched on the north
side of
Ai: now
{\ADD{there was}} a

Joshua
went that

hasted and rose up
early, and the

out
against
Israel to
battle, he and all his
people, at a time
appointed,
before the
plain; but he
wist not that
{\ADD{there were}} liers in
ambush against him
behind the
city.

\VS{15}And
Joshua and all
Israel made as if they were
beaten
before them, and
fled by the
way of the
wilderness.

\VS{16}And all the
people that
{\ADD{were}} in
Ai were
called together to
pursue
after them: and they
pursued
after
Joshua, and were drawn
away from the
city.

\VS{17}And there was not a
man
left in
Ai or
Beth-el, that went not
out
after
Israel: and they
left the
city
open, and
pursued after
Israel.

\VS{18}And the

said unto
Joshua, Stretch
out the

arose
quickly out of their
place, and they
ran as soon as he had stretched
out his

entered into the

took it, and
hasted and
set the

\VS{20}And when the
men of

looked
behind them, they
saw, and, behold, the

back upon the

ascended, then they turned
again, and
slew the
men of
Ai.

\VS{22}And the
other issued
out of the
city
against them; so they were in the

Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they
smote them, so
that they
let none of them
remain or
escape.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}And the
king of
Ai they
took
alive, and

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

returned unto

smote it with the

{\ADD{that}} all that
fell that
day, both of
men and

{\ADD{were}}
twelve

Ai.

\VS{26}For
Joshua
drew not his
hand
back, wherewith he stretched
out the
spear, until he had utterly
destroyed all the
inhabitants of
Ai.

\VS{27}Only the
cattle and the
spoil of that
city
Israel took for a
prey unto themselves, according unto the
word of the
{\ND{LORD}} which he
commanded
Joshua.

\VS{28}And
Joshua
burnt
Ai, and
made it an
heap for
ever,
{\ADD{even}} a
desolation unto this
day.

\VS{29}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,
{\ADD{that remaineth}} unto this

\par }{\PP \VS{30}¶ Then
Joshua
built an
altar unto the

commanded the

did to the
two
kings of the
Amorites, that
{\ADD{were}}
beyond
Jordan, to
Sihon
king of
Heshbon, and to
Og
king of
Bashan, which
{\ADD{was}} at
Ashtaroth.

\VS{11}Wherefore our
elders and all the
inhabitants of our
country
spake to us,
saying,
Take
victuals with
you for the

go to
meet them, and
say unto them, We
{\ADD{are}} your
servants: therefore now
make ye a
league with us.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 9.11 }{\FT{with you: Heb. in your hand}}}

\VS{12}This our

hot
{\ADD{for}} our
provision out of our
houses on the

forth to
go unto you; but now, behold, it is
dry, and it is
mouldy:

\VS{13}And these
bottles of
wine, which we
filled,
{\ADD{were}}
new; and, behold, they be
rent: and these our
garments and our
shoes are become
old by reason of the
very
long
journey.

\VS{14}And the
men
took of their
victuals, and
asked not
{\ADD{counsel}} at the
mouth of the
{\ND{LORD}}.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 9.14 }{\FT{the men…: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{15}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}¶ And it came to pass at the
end of
three
days
after they had
made a
league with them, that they
heard that they
{\ADD{were}} their
neighbours, and
{\ADD{that}} they
dwelt
among them.

\VS{17}And the
children of
Israel
journeyed, and
came unto their
cities on the
third
day. Now their
cities
{\ADD{were}}
Gibeon, and
Chephirah, and
Beeroth, and
Kirjath-jearim.

\VS{18}And the
children of
Israel
smote them not, because the
princes of the
congregation had
sworn unto them by the
{\ND{LORD}}
God of
Israel. And all the
congregation
murmured against the
princes.

\VS{19}But all the
princes
said unto all the
congregation, We have
sworn unto them by the
{\ND{LORD}}
God of
Israel: now therefore we
may not
touch them.

\VS{20}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.

\VS{21}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}¶ And
Joshua
called for them, and he
spake unto them,
saying, Wherefore have ye
beguiled us,
saying, We
{\ADD{are}}
very
far from you; when ye
dwell
among us?

\VS{23}Now therefore ye
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 9.23 }{\FT{none…: Heb. not be cut off from you}}}

\VS{24}And they
answered
Joshua, and
said, Because it was
certainly
told thy
servants, how that the
{\ND{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.

\VS{25}And now, behold,
we
{\ADD{are}} in thine
hand: as it
seemeth
good and
right unto thee to
do unto us,
do.

\VS{26}And so
did he unto them, and
delivered them out of the
hand of the
children of
Israel, that they
slew them not.

\VS{27}And
Joshua
made them that
day
hewers of
wood and
drawers of
water for the
congregation, and for the
altar of the
{\ND{LORD}}, even unto this
day, in the
place which he should
choose.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 9.27 }{\FT{made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}}}




\par }\Chap{10}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Now it came to pass, when
Adoni-zedek
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;

\VS{2}That they
feared
greatly, because
Gibeon
{\ADD{was}} a
great
city, as
one of the
royal
cities, and because it
{\ADD{was}}
greater than
Ai, and all the
men thereof
{\ADD{were}}
mighty.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 10.2 }{\FT{royal…: Heb. cities of the kingdom}}}

\VS{3}Wherefore
Adoni-zedek
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,

\VS{4}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.

\VS{5}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.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}¶ 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.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}So
Joshua
ascended from
Gilgal, he, and all the
people of
war with him, and all the
mighty men of
valour.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}¶ And the
{\ND{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.

\VS{9}Joshua therefore
came unto them
suddenly,
{\ADD{and}} went
up from
Gilgal all
night.

\VS{10}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
discomfited them
before
Israel, and
slew them with a
great
slaughter at
Gibeon, and
chased them along the
way that goeth
up to
Beth-horon, and
smote them to
Azekah, and unto
Makkedah.

\VS{11}And it came to pass, as they
fled from
before
Israel,
{\ADD{and}} were in the going
down to
Beth-horon, that the
{\ND{LORD}} cast
down
great
stones from
heaven upon them unto
Azekah, and they
died:
{\ADD{they were}}
more which
died with
hailstones than
{\ADD{they}}
whom the
children of
Israel
slew with the
sword.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}¶ Then
spake
Joshua to the
{\ND{LORD}} in the
day when the
{\ND{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.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 10.12 }{\FT{stand…: Heb. be silent}}}

\VS{13}And the
sun stood
still, and the
moon
stayed, until the
people had
avenged themselves upon their
enemies.
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 10.13 }{\FT{Jasher: or, the upright?}}}

\VS{14}And there was no
day like that
before it or
after it, that the
{\ND{LORD}}
hearkened unto the
voice of a
man: for the
{\ND{LORD}}
fought for
Israel.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}¶ And
Joshua
returned, and all
Israel with him, unto the
camp to
Gilgal.

\VS{16}But these
five
kings
fled, and
hid themselves in a
cave at
Makkedah.

\VS{17}And it was
told
Joshua,
saying, The
five
kings are
found
hid in a
cave at
Makkedah.

\VS{18}And
Joshua
said,
Roll
great
stones upon the
mouth of the
cave, and
set
men by it for to
keep them:

\VS{19}And
stay ye not,
{\ADD{but}}
pursue
after your
enemies, and smite the
hindmost of them;
suffer them not to
enter into their
cities: for the
{\ND{LORD}} your
God hath
delivered them into your
hand.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 10.19 }{\FT{smite…: Heb. cut off the tail}}}

\VS{20}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
{\ADD{which}}
remained of them
entered into
fenced
cities.

\VS{21}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.

\VS{22}Then
said
Joshua,
Open the
mouth of the
cave, and bring
out those
five
kings unto me out of the
cave.

\VS{23}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,
{\ADD{and}} the
king of
Eglon.

\VS{24}And it came to pass, when they brought
out those
kings unto
Joshua, that
Joshua
called for all the
men of
Israel, and
said unto the
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.

\VS{25}And
Joshua
said unto them,
Fear not, nor be
dismayed, be
strong and of good
courage: for thus shall the
{\ND{LORD}}
do to all your
enemies against whom ye
fight.

\VS{26}And
afterward
Joshua
smote them, and
slew them, and
hanged them on
five
trees: and they were
hanging upon the
trees until the
evening.

\VS{27}And it came to pass at the
time of the going
down of the
sun,
{\ADD{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,
{\ADD{which remain}} until this
very
day.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}¶ 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
{\ADD{were}} therein; he
let none
remain: and he
did to the
king of
Makkedah as he
did unto the
king of
Jericho.

\VS{29}Then
Joshua
passed from
Makkedah, and all
Israel with him, unto
Libnah, and
fought against
Libnah:

\VS{30}And the
{\ND{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
{\ADD{were}} therein; he
let none
remain in it; but
did unto the
king thereof as he
did unto the
king of
Jericho.


\par }{\PP \VS{31}¶ And
Joshua
passed from
Libnah, and all
Israel with him, unto
Lachish, and
encamped against it, and
fought against it:

\VS{32}And the
{\ND{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
{\ADD{were}} therein, according to all that he had
done to
Libnah.


\par }{\PP \VS{33}¶ Then
Horam
king of
Gezer came
up to
help
Lachish; and
Joshua
smote him and his
people, until he had
left him none
remaining.


\par }{\PP \VS{34}¶ And from
Lachish
Joshua
passed unto
Eglon, and all
Israel with him; and they
encamped against it, and
fought against it:

\VS{35}And they
took it on that
day, and
smote it with the
edge of the
sword, and all the
souls that
{\ADD{were}} therein he utterly
destroyed that
day, according to all that he had
done to
Lachish.

\VS{36}And
Joshua went
up from
Eglon, and all
Israel with him, unto
Hebron; and they
fought against it:

\VS{37}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
{\ADD{were}} therein; he
left none
remaining, according to all that he had
done to
Eglon; but
destroyed it utterly, and all the
souls that
{\ADD{were}} therein.


\par }{\PP \VS{38}¶ And
Joshua
returned, and all
Israel with him, to
Debir; and
fought against it:

\VS{39}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
{\ADD{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{40}¶ 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
{\ND{LORD}}
God of
Israel
commanded.

\VS{41}And
Joshua
smote them from
Kadesh-barnea even unto
Gaza, and all the
country of
Goshen, even unto
Gibeon.

\VS{42}And all these
kings and their
land did
Joshua
take at
one
time, because the
{\ND{LORD}}
God of
Israel
fought for
Israel.

\VS{43}And
Joshua
returned, and all
Israel with him, unto the
camp to
Gilgal.




\par }\Chap{11}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And it came to pass, when

land of

\VS{4}And they went
out, they and all their

much
people, even as the

\VS{7}So
Joshua
came, and all the

waters of
Merom
suddenly; and they fell
upon them.

\VS{8}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
delivered them into the

Israel, who
smote them, and
chased them unto

\par }{\PP \VS{10}¶ And
Joshua at that
time turned
back, and
took
Hazor, and
smote the

\VS{11}And they
smote all the

take, and
smote them with the

destroyed them, as
Moses the
servant of the

commanded.

\VS{13}But
{\ADD{as for}} the

stood still in their
strength,
Israel
burned none of them,
save

burn.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 11.13 }{\FT{in their…: Heb. on their heap}}}

smote with the
edge of the
sword, until they had
destroyed them, neither
left they any to
breathe.

commanded

Joshua; he
left
nothing
undone of all that the

commanded

valley of the same;

\VS{19}There was not a
city that made
peace with the
children of
Israel, save the
Hivites the

took in

\VS{20}For it was of the
{\ND{LORD}} to
harden their
hearts, that they should come
against
Israel in
battle, that he might destroy them
utterly,
{\ADD{and}} that they might have no
favour, but that he might
destroy them, as the

commanded

fell
ten

Manasseh, beside the

Manasseh had in

Endor and her

could not drive
out

would
dwell in that

strong, that they
put the

\VS{17}And
Joshua
spake unto the

Ephraim and to
Manasseh,
saying, Thou

\VS{20}Did not
Achan the

commit a

make our

Behold the

serve, and his
voice will we
obey.

\VS{25}So
Joshua
made a
covenant with the
people that
day, and
set them a
statute and an
ordinance in
Shechem.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}¶ 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
{\ADD{was}} by the
sanctuary of the
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{27}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
{\ND{LORD}} which he
spake unto us: it shall be therefore a
witness unto you, lest ye
deny your
God.

\VS{28}So
Joshua let the
people
depart, every
man unto his
inheritance.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}¶ And it came to pass
after these
things, that
Joshua the
son of
Nun, the
servant of the
{\ND{LORD}},
died,
{\ADD{being}} an
hundred and
ten
years
old.

\VS{30}And they
buried him in the
border of his
inheritance in
Timnath-serah, which
{\ADD{is}} in
mount
Ephraim, on the north
side of the
hill of
Gaash.

\VS{31}And
Israel
served the
{\ND{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
{\ND{LORD}}, that he had
done for
Israel.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 24.31 }{\FT{overlived…: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{32}¶ 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.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 24.32 }{\FT{pieces…: or, lambs}}}

\VS{33}And
Eleazar the
son of
Aaron
died; and they
buried him in a
hill
{\ADD{that pertained to}}
Phinehas his
son, which was
given him in
mount
Ephraim.
