didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye
came unto this place, ye have been
rebellious against the LORD.

whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye
came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that
chew the
cud, or of them that divide the
cloven hoof; as the
camel, and the
hare, and the
coney: for they
chew the
cud, but divide not the
hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
But of those that
chew the
cud or have a completely divided
hoof, you are not to eat the following: the
camel, the
rabbit, or the rock
badger.

leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat
unleavened bread
therewith, even the bread of

camest forth out of the land of Egypt in
haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou
camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

came forth out of Egypt; and because they
hired against thee
Balaam the son of Beor of

Mesopotamia, to
curse thee.

Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

lawgiver, was he seated; and he
came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
He chose the best land for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered the LORD’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”

wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of
weeping and

came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of
Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,

Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying,
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.
“Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you will cross the Jordan to go in and take possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.’”
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.
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.
And it was reported to the king of
Jericho: “Behold, some men of Israel have come here
tonight to
spy out the land.”
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.
So the king of
Jericho sent to
Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who
came to you and entered your house, for they have come to
spy out the whole land.”
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:

Yes, the men did come to me, but I did not know where they had come from.
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.
At
dusk, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I do not know which way they went. Pursue them quickly, and you may catch them!”
And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
Before the
spies lay down for the night,
Rahab went up on the roof
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.
For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you
came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and
Og, the two kings of the
Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.
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.
So the
spies went out into the hill country and stayed there three days, until their pursuers had returned without finding them, having searched all along the road.
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:
Then the two men started back,
came down from the hill country, and crossed the river. So they
came to Joshua son of
Nun and reported all that had happened to them.
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.
Early the next morning Joshua got up and left
Shittim with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan, where they
camped before crossing over.
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
After three days the officers went through the camp
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;
So when the people broke
camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant
ahead of them.
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.
the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far
upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite
Jericho.
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
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.
Thus the Israelites did as Joshua had commanded them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each tribe of Israel, just as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them to the camp, where they set them down.
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.
and after
everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
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.
When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the Jordan and their feet touched the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their course and overflowed all the banks as before.
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.
On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and
camped at
Gilgal on the eastern border of
Jericho.
Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
you are to tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’
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.
Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the
Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.
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.
Now this is why Joshua
circumcised them: All those who
came out of Egypt—all the men of war—had died on the journey in the wilderness after they had left Egypt.
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.
Though all who had come out were
circumcised, none of those born in the wilderness on the journey from Egypt had been
circumcised.
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.
For the Israelites had
wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD
vowed never to let them see the land He had
sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
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.
And after all the nation had been
circumcised, they stayed there in the
camp until they were
healed.
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?
Now when Joshua was near
Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”
Now
Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none
came in.
Now
Jericho was
tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one
came in.
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.
After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and
blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
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.
While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched
ahead of the priests who
blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.
So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they
came into the
camp, and
lodged in the
camp.
So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.
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.
And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching
ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.
And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
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.
Then on the seventh day, they got up at
dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.
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.
After the seventh time around, the priests
blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “
Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
But keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you
yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the
camp of Israel for destruction and bring
disaster upon it.
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.
So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people
shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great
shout, and the wall
collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it.
And the young men that were
spies went in, and brought
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.
So the young
spies went in and brought out
Rahab, her father and mother and brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the
camp of Israel.
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.
Then all the troops who were with him marched up and approached the city. They arrived in front of
Ai and
camped to the north of it, with the valley between them and the city.
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.
So the forces were stationed with the main camp to the north of the city and the rear guard to the west of the city. And that night Joshua went into the valley.
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.
When the king of
Ai saw the Israelites, he
hurried out early in the morning with the men of the city to
engage them in battle at an appointed place overlooking the Arabah. But he did not know that an
ambush had been set up against him behind the city.
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.
Meanwhile, those in the
ambush came out of the city against them, and the men of
Ai were
trapped between the
Israelite forces on both sides. So Israel struck them down until no
survivor or
fugitive remained.
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.
When Israel had finished killing all the men of
Ai who had pursued them into the field and wilderness, and when every last one of them had fallen by the sword, all the Israelites returned to
Ai and put it to the sword as well.
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;
That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one
accord.
they
came together to
wage war against Joshua and Israel.
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.
They went to Joshua in the
camp at
Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”
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:
This bread of ours was warm when we
packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But take a look, it is now dry and
moldy.
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.
Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.
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 Kirjath-jearim.
So the Israelites set out and on the third day arrived at their cities—
Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
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
Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to
Ai and its king as he had done to
Jericho and its king—and that the people of
Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
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.
So the five kings of the
Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem,
Hebron, Jarmuth,
Lachish, and
Eglon—joined forces and advanced with all their armies. They
camped before
Gibeon and made war against it.
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.
Then the men of
Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the
camp at
Gilgal: “Do not
abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the
Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
So Joshua ascended from
Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of
valor,
came from
Gilgal.
Joshua therefore
came unto them suddenly, and went up from
Gilgal all night.
After marching all night from
Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
And it
came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, 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.
As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the
camp to
Gilgal.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the
camp at
Gilgal.
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.
So Joshua and the Israelites continued to
inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
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.
The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the
camp at Makkedah, and no one
dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
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.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
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.
At
sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
Then Horam king of
Gezer came up to help
Lachish; and Joshua
smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
At that time Horam king of
Gezer went to help
Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the
camp to
Gilgal.
Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the
camp at
Gilgal.
