cities at that time, there was not a

cities. There was not a single

spoil of the
cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
All the
cities of the plain, and all

cities of the kingdom of
Og in
Bashan.

cities he might live:

sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly
cities, which thou buildedst not,
And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He
swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid
cities that you did not build,
Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than
thyself,
cities great and
fenced up to heaven,
Hear, O Israel:

cities fortified to the heavens.
If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said
Certain men, the children of
Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their
city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their
city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),
Thou shalt surely
smite the inhabitants of that
city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.

city to the sword.

And thou shalt gather all the
spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the
city, and all the
spoil thereof every
whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an
heap for ever; it shall not be built again.

plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the
city and all its
plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The
city must remain a
mound of ruins
forever, never to be rebuilt.
When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
When the LORD your God has cut off the nations whose land He is giving you, and when you have driven them out and settled in their cities and houses,
Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
then you are to set apart for
yourselves three
cities within the land that the LORD your God is giving you to possess.
Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to
inherit, into three parts, that every
slayer may
flee thither.
You are to build roads for
yourselves and divide into three regions the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, so that any
manslayer can
flee to these
cities.
And this is the case of the
slayer, which shall
flee thither, that he may live:
Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he
hated not in time past;
Now this is the situation regarding the
manslayer who flees to one of these
cities to save his life, having killed his
neighbor accidentally, without intending to
harm him:
As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to
hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the
axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the
helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall
flee unto one of those
cities, and live:
If he goes into the forest with his
neighbor to cut timber and swings his
axe to
chop down a tree, but the
blade flies off the handle and strikes and kills his
neighbor, he may
flee to one of these
cities to save his life.
Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
This is why I am commanding you to set apart for
yourselves three
cities.
If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
and if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you
today, loving the LORD your God and walking in His ways at all times, then you are to add three more
cities to these three.
But if any man
hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and
smite him
mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these
cities:
If, however, a man hates his
neighbor and lies in wait, attacks him and kills him, and then flees to one of these
cities,
Then the elders of his
city shall send and
fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the
avenger of blood, that he may die.
the elders of his
city must send for him, bring him back, and hand him over to the
avenger of blood to die.
When thou comest
nigh unto a
city to fight against it, then
proclaim peace unto it.
When you approach a city to fight against it, you are to make an offer of peace.
And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt
besiege it:
But if they refuse to make peace with you and
wage war against you, lay siege to that
city.
But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the
city, even all the
spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto
thyself; and thou shalt eat the
spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
But the women, children,
livestock, and whatever else is in the
city—all its
spoil—you may take as
plunder, and you shall use the
spoil of your enemies that the LORD your God gives you.
Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
This is how you are to treat all the cities that are far away from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
But of the
cities of these people, which the LORD thy God
doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
However, in the cities of the nations that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, you must not leave alive anything that breathes.
When thou shalt
besiege a
city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an
axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man’s life) to employ them in the siege:
When you lay siege to a
city for an extended time while fighting against it to capture it, you must not destroy its trees by putting an
axe to them, because you can eat their fruit. You must not cut them down. Are the trees of the field human, that you should
besiege them?
Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
But you may destroy the trees that you know do not produce fruit. Use them to build siege works against the
city that is
waging war against you, until it falls.
Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
your elders and judges must come out and measure the distance from the
victim to the
neighboring cities.
And it shall be, that the
city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that
city shall take an
heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
Then the elders of the
city nearest the
victim shall take a
heifer that has never been yoked or used for work,
And the elders of that
city shall bring down the
heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the
heifer’s neck there in the valley:
bring the
heifer to a valley with running water that has not been
plowed or sown, and break its neck there by the stream.
And all the elders of that
city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the
heifer that is
beheaded in the valley:
Then all the elders of the
city nearest the
victim shall wash their hands by the stream over the
heifer whose neck has been broken,
Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
his father and mother are to lay hold of him and bring him to the elders of his city, to the gate of his hometown,
And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Then all the men of his
city will stone him to death. So you must
purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.
Then shall the father of the
damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the
tokens of the
damsel’s
virginity unto the elders of the
city in the gate:
Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her
virginity to the
city elders at the gate
And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a
maid; and yet these are the
tokens of my daughter’s
virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the
city.
And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her
virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the
city elders.
And the elders of that
city shall take that man and
chastise him;
Then the elders of that
city shall take the man and
punish him.
Then they shall bring out the
damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her
city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the
whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her
city will stone her to death. For she has committed an
outrage in Israel by being
promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must
purge the evil from among you.
If a
damsel that is a virgin be
betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the
city, and lie with her;
If there is a virgin
pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the
city and sleeps with her,
Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that
city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the
damsel, because she
cried not, being in the
city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
you must take both of them out to the gate of that
city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the
city, and the man because he has
violated his
neighbor’s wife. So you must
purge the evil from among you.
And if the man like not to take his brother’s wife, then let his brother’s wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My husband’s brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel, he will not perform the duty of my husband’s brother.
But if the man does not want to marry his brother’s widow, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to preserve his brother’s name in Israel. He is not willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.”
Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak unto him: and if he stand to it, and say, I like not to take her;
Then the elders of his
city shall
summon him and speak with him. If he persists and says, “I do not want to marry her,”
Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
Cursed shalt thou be in the
city, and
cursed shalt thou be in the field.
And he shall
besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and
fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall
besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
They will
besiege all the
cities throughout your land, until the high and fortified walls in which you trust have fallen. They will
besiege all your
cities throughout the land that the LORD your God has given you.
And the south, and the plain of the valley of
Jericho, the
city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
the Negev, and the region from the Valley of
Jericho (the
City of Palms) all the way to Zoar.
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.
Then
Rahab let them down by a rope through the window, since the house where she lived was built into the wall of the
city.
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 ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
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.
Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.
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.
And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty
shout. Then the wall of the
city will
collapse and all your people will charge straight into the
city.”
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.
And he told the people, “Advance and march around the
city, with the armed troops going
ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
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 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!
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.
Now the
city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only
Rahab the
prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she
hid the
spies we sent.
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 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.
At the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the
city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and
donkeys.
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.
Then the Israelites burned up the city and everything in it. However, they put the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.
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.
At that time Joshua
invoked this solemn oath: “
Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this
city,
Jericho; at the cost of his
firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
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:
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack
Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of
Ai, his people, his
city, and his land.
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.
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:
with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in
ambush behind the
city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready.
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,
Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the
city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will
flee from them.
(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.
They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the
city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we
flee from them,
Then ye shall rise up from the
ambush, and seize upon the
city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
you are to rise from the
ambush and seize the
city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
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.
And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”
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 he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in
ambush between
Bethel and
Ai, on the west side of the
city.
Now Joshua had taken about five thousand men and set up an
ambush between
Bethel and
Ai, to the west of 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 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.
Then all the men of
Ai were summoned to pursue them, and they followed Joshua and were drawn away from the
city.
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.
Not a man was left in
Ai or
Bethel who did not go out after Israel, leaving the
city wide open while they pursued Israel.
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.
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out your battle
lance toward
Ai, for into your hand I will deliver the
city.” So Joshua held out his battle
lance toward
Ai,
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.
and as soon as he did so, the men in
ambush rose quickly from their position. They
rushed forward, entered the
city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.
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.
When the men of
Ai turned and looked back, the smoke of the
city was rising into the sky. They could not escape in any direction, and the troops who had fled to the wilderness now became the pursuers.
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.
When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in
ambush had captured the
city and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and struck down the men of
Ai.
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.
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.
Israel took for themselves only the cattle and
plunder of that
city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
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.
He hung the king of
Ai on a tree until evening, and at
sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the
city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
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
Levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood in front of Mount
Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount
Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded earlier, to
bless the people of Israel.
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.
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.
So Adoni-zedek and his people were greatly
alarmed, because
Gibeon was a great
city, like one of the royal
cities; it was larger than
Ai, and all its men were mighty.
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.
But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
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 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.
On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction
everyone in the
city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of
Jericho.
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.
And the LORD also delivered that
city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of
Libnah as he had done to the king of
Jericho.
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.
That day they captured
Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction
everyone in the
city, just as he had done to
Lachish.
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.
They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at
Eglon; he devoted to destruction
Hebron and
everyone in it.
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.
And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction
everyone in the
city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to
Hebron and as he had done to
Libnah and its king.
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.
Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded.
But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua burned.
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.
The Israelites took for themselves all the
plunder and
livestock of these
cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not
sparing anyone who breathed.
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.
No
city made peace with the Israelites except the
Hivites living in
Gibeon; all others were taken in battle.
