kindled against them in that day, and I will
forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be
devoured, and many evils and troubles shall
befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils
come upon us, because our God is not among us?

abandon them and hide My face from them, so that they will be consumed, and many troubles and afflictions will
befall them. On that day they will say, ‘Have not these disasters
come upon us because our God is no longer with us?’
And it shall
come to pass, when many evils and troubles are
befallen them, that this song shall
testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I
sware.
And when many troubles and afflictions have
come upon them, this song will
testify against them, because it will not be forgotten from the lips of their descendants. For I know their inclination, even before I bring them into the land that I
swore to give them.”

Nun and said, “Be strong and
courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land that I
swore to give them, and I will be with you.”
That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD:
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have
commanded you; and evil will
befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to
provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
For I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt and turn from the path I have
commanded you. And in the days to
come,
disaster will
befall you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD to
provoke Him to anger by the work of your hands.”

comprehend their fate.
To me belongeth
vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their
calamity is at hand, and the things that shall
come upon them make
haste.

disaster is near, and their
doom is
coming quickly.”

repent himself for his servants, when he

bush: let the blessing
come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph and crown the
brow of the prince of his brothers.

underneath are the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy before you, giving the
command, ‘Destroy him!’
And Joshua the son of
Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel
hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD
commanded Moses.
Now Joshua son of
Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had
commanded Moses.
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 to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest
prosper whithersoever thou goest.
Above all, be strong and very
courageous. Be careful to observe all the law that My servant Moses
commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may
prosper wherever you go.
Have not I
commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.
Have I not
commanded you to be strong and
courageous? Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people:
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.’”
Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
“Remember what Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you when he said, ‘The LORD your God will give you rest, and He will give you this land.’
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou
commandest us we will do, and
whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
So they answered Joshua, “Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go.
Whosoever he be that
doth rebel against thy
commandment, and will not
hearken unto thy words in all that thou
commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you
command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and
courageous!”
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:
But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “
Yes, the men did
come to me, but I did not know where they had
come from.
Behold, when we
come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou
didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.
unless, when we enter the land, you have
tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother and brothers and all your family into your house.
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
and
commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the
Levitical priests, you are to set out from your positions and follow it.
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure:
come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way
heretofore.
But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits between
yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
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.
Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel,
Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
So Joshua told the Israelites, “
Come here and
listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
And it shall
come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that
come down from above; and they shall stand upon an
heap.
When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a
heap.”
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,)
Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
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
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.
and
command them: ‘Take up for
yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests were standing, carry them with you, and set them down in the place where you
spend the night.’”
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
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.
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until the people had
completed everything the LORD had
commanded Joshua to tell them, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people
hurried across,
Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
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 he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
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 he said,
Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now
come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
“Neither,” He replied. “I have now come as Commander of the LORD’s army.” Then Joshua fell facedown in reverence and asked Him, “What does my Lord have to say to His servant?”
And the captain of the LORD’S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy
shoe from off thy foot; for the place
whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
The
Commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your
sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
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.”
And Joshua had
commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not
shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I
bid you
shout; then shall ye
shout.
But Joshua had
commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word
come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to
shout. Then you are to
shout!”
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!
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His treasury.”
But the children of Israel
committed a
trespass in the
accursed thing: for
Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the
accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was
kindled against the children of Israel.
The Israelites, however, acted unfaithfully regarding the things devoted to destruction.
Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites.
Israel hath
sinned, and they have also
transgressed my covenant which I
commanded them: for they have even taken of the
accursed thing, and have also
stolen, and
dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
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
stolen and
lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions.
In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
In the morning you must present
yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD selects shall

come forward family by family, and the family that the LORD selects shall
come forward man by man.
And it shall be, that he that is taken with the
accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath
transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

transgressed the covenant of the LORD and
committed an
outrage in Israel.’”

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.
