stolen, and
dissembled also, and they have put it even
among their own stuff.
Israel has
sinned; they have
transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have

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.
All Israel, foreigners and citizens alike, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD facing the

among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”

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?
Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you
deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live
among us?
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;
Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured

Jericho and its king—and that the people of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.

Anak, which city is
Hebron.
According to the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave
Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion
among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is,

among our brothers.” So Joshua gave them an inheritance
among their father’s brothers, in keeping with the command of the LORD.

Brook of Kanah. There were cities belonging to Ephraim
among the cities of
Manasseh, but the border of

brook and ended at the Sea.

among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and

among you, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the LORD. And

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.
When someone flees to one of these cities, stands at the entrance of the city gate, and states his case before its elders, they are to bring him into the city and give him a place to live among them.
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.

among them, so that
anyone who kills a person
unintentionally may
flee there and not die by the hand of the
avenger of blood prior to standing trial before the assembly.

With him they sent ten chiefs—one family leader from each tribe of Israel, each the head of a family among the clans of Israel.
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.
If indeed the land of your inheritance is unclean, then cross over to the land of the LORD’s possession, where the LORD’s tabernacle stands, and take possession of it
among us. But do not

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

Phinehas son of
Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of
Reuben,
Gad, and
Manasseh, “

So you are not to associate with these nations that remain
among you. You must not call on the names of their gods or
swear by them, and you must not serve them or bow down to them.
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:
For if you turn away and
cling to the rest of these nations that remain
among you, and if you
intermarry and associate with them,
I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I
afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and afterward I brought you out.
