+Book 06 Joshua
+001:001 Now it happened after the death of Moses the servant of Yahweh,
+        that Yahweh spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,
+001:002 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan,
+        you, and all this people, to the land which I give to them,
+        even to the children of Israel.
+001:003 I have given you every place that the sole of your foot will
+        tread on, as I told Moses.
+001:004 From the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even to the great river,
+        the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites,
+        and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun,
+        shall be your border.
+001:005 No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life.
+        As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.  I will not fail
+        you nor forsake you.
+001:006 Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this
+        people to inherit the land which I swore to their fathers
+        to give them.
+001:007 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according
+        to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you.
+        Don't turn from it to the right hand or to the left,
+        that you may have good success wherever you go.
+001:008 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth,
+        but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may
+        observe to do according to all that is written therein:
+        for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you
+        shall have good success.
+001:009 Haven't I commanded you?  Be strong and of good courage.
+        Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed:  for Yahweh your God
+        is with you wherever you go.
+001:010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
+001:011 "Pass through the midst of the camp, and command the people,
+        saying, 'Prepare food; for within three days you are to pass
+        over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh
+        your God gives you to possess it.'"
+001:012 Joshua spoke to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to
+        the half-tribe of Manasseh, saying,
+001:013 "Remember the word which Moses the servant of Yahweh
+        commanded you, saying, 'Yahweh your God gives you rest,
+        and will give you this land.
+001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock, shall live
+        in the land which Moses gave you beyond the Jordan; but you
+        shall pass over before your brothers armed, all the mighty
+        men of valor, and shall help them
+001:015 until Yahweh has given your brothers rest, as he has given you,
+        and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your God
+        gives them.  Then you shall return to the land of your possession,
+        and possess it, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you
+        beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise.'"
+001:016 They answered Joshua, saying, "All that you have commanded us
+        we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
+001:017 Just as we listened to Moses in all things, so will we listen to you.
+        Only may Yahweh your God be with you, as he was with Moses.
+001:018 Whoever rebels against your commandment, and doesn't listen to your
+        words in all that you command him, he shall be put to death.
+        Only be strong and of good courage."
+002:001 Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim
+        as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, and Jericho."
+        They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name
+        was Rahab, and slept there.
+002:002 The king of Jericho was told, "Behold, men of the children
+        of Israel came in here tonight to spy out the land."
+002:003 The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men
+        who have come to you, who have entered into your house;
+        for they have come to spy out all the land."
+002:004 The woman took the two men and hid them.  Then she said, "Yes,
+        the men came to me, but I didn't know where they came from.
+002:005 It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it
+        was dark, that the men went out.  Where the men went, I don't know.
+        Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."
+002:006 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with
+        the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
+002:007 The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords:
+        and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out,
+        they shut the gate.
+002:008 Before they had laid down, she came up to them on the roof;
+002:009 and she said to the men, "I know that Yahweh has given
+        you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us,
+        and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
+002:010 For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the
+        Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds} before you, when you came out of Egypt;
+        and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond
+        the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
+002:011 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, neither did
+        there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you:
+        for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above,
+        and on earth beneath.
+002:012 Now therefore, please swear to me by Yahweh, since I have dealt
+        kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my
+        father's house, and give me a true token;
+002:013 and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers,
+        and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver
+        our lives from death."
+002:014 The men said to her, "Our life for yours, if you don't talk
+        about this business of ours; and it shall be, when Yahweh gives
+        us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you."
+002:015 Then she let them down by a cord through the window;
+        for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived
+        on the wall.
+002:016 She said to them, "Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you;
+        and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers
+        have returned.  Afterward, you may go your way."
+002:017 The men said to her, "We will be guiltless of this your oath
+        which you have made us to swear.
+002:018 Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line
+        of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by.
+        You shall gather to yourself into the house your father,
+        your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.
+002:019 It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into
+        the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless.
+        Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head,
+        if any hand is on him.
+002:020 But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall
+        be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."
+002:021 She said, "According to your words, so be it."  She sent them away,
+        and they departed.  She tied the scarlet line in the window.
+002:022 They went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days,
+        until the pursuers had returned.  The pursuers sought them
+        throughout all the way, but didn't find them.
+002:023 Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain,
+        passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told
+        him all that had happened to them.
+002:024 They said to Joshua, "Truly Yahweh has delivered into our hands
+        all the land.  Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt
+        away before us."
+003:001 Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they moved from Shittim,
+        and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel.
+        They lodged there before they passed over.
+003:002 It happened after three days, that the officers went through
+        the midst of the camp;
+003:003 and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark
+        of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests
+        the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place,
+        and follow it.
+003:004 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
+        thousand cubits by measure.  Don't come near to it, that you
+        may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed
+        this way before."
+003:005 Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow
+        Yahweh will do wonders among you."
+003:006 Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark
+        of the covenant, and pass over before the people."
+        They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
+003:007 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to magnify you
+        in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I
+        was with Moses, so I will be with you.
+003:008 You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant,
+        saying, 'When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan,
+        you shall stand still in the Jordan.'"
+003:009 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Come here, and hear
+        the words of Yahweh your God."
+003:010 Joshua said, "Hereby you shall know that the living God is
+        among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite,
+        and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite,
+        and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite out
+        from before you.
+003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth
+        passes over before you into the Jordan.
+003:012 Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel,
+        for every tribe a man.
+003:013 It shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests
+        who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth,
+        rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan
+        will be cut off, even the waters that come down from above;
+        and they shall stand in one heap."
+003:014 It happened, when the people moved from their tents to pass
+        over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant
+        being before the people,
+003:015 and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan,
+        and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped
+        in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its
+        banks all the time of harvest),
+003:016 that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose
+        up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is
+        beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea
+        of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off.
+        Then the people passed over right against Jericho.
+003:017 The priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh
+        stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan;
+        and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation
+        had passed completely over the Jordan.
+004:001 It happened, when all the nation had completely passed over
+        the Jordan, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
+004:002 "Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
+004:003 and command them, saying, 'Take from out of the middle of
+        the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm,
+        twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them
+        down in the lodging place, where you will lodge tonight.'"
+004:004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared
+        of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
+004:005 Joshua said to them, "Pass over before the ark of Yahweh your
+        God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up
+        a stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number
+        of the tribes of the children of Israel;
+004:006 that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask
+        in time to come, saying, 'What do you mean by these stones?'
+004:007 then you shall tell them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan
+        were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh.
+        When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were
+        cut off.  These stones shall be for a memorial to the children
+        of Israel forever.'"
+004:008 The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve
+        stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Yahweh spoke to Joshua,
+        according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
+        and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged,
+        and laid them down there.
+004:009 Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan,
+        in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark
+        of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.
+004:010 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan,
+        until everything was finished that Yahweh commanded Joshua to speak
+        to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua;
+        and the people hurried and passed over.
+004:011 It happened, when all the people had completely passed over,
+        that the ark of Yahweh passed over, with the priests,
+        in the presence of the people.
+004:012 The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe
+        of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel,
+        as Moses spoke to them.
+004:013 About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed
+        over before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.
+004:014 On that day, Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel;
+        and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days
+        of his life.
+004:015 Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
+004:016 "Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony,
+        that they come up out of the Jordan."
+004:017 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, "Come up out
+        of the Jordan!"
+004:018 It happened, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant
+        of Yahweh had come up out of the middle of the Jordan,
+        and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground,
+        that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place,
+        and went over all its banks, as before.
+004:019 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day
+        of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east
+        border of Jericho.
+004:020 Joshua set up those twelve stones, which they took out of
+        the Jordan, n Gilgal.
+004:021 He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, "When your
+        children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What do
+        these stones mean?'
+004:022 Then you shall let your children know, saying, 'Israel came
+        over this Jordan on dry land.
+004:023 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from
+        before you, until you had passed over, as Yahweh your God
+        did to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}, which he dried up
+        from before us, until we had passed over;
+004:024 that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Yahweh,
+        that it is mighty; that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.'"
+005:001 It happened, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond
+        the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites,
+        who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up
+        the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel,
+        until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was
+        there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
+005:002 At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, "Make flint knives,
+        and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."
+005:003 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children
+        of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
+005:004 This is the reason Joshua circumcised:  all the people who came
+        out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war,
+        died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
+005:005 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all
+        the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they
+        came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
+005:006 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness,
+        until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt,
+        were consumed, because they didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh.
+        Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn't let them see the land
+        which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us,
+        a land flowing with milk and honey.
+005:007 Their children, whom he raised up in their place,
+        were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised,
+        because they had not circumcised them on the way.
+005:008 It happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation,
+        that they stayed in their places in the camp until
+        they were healed.
+005:009 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach
+        of Egypt from off you."  Therefore the name of that place
+        was called Gilgal,{"Gilgal" sounds like the Hebrew for "roll."
+        } to this day.
+005:010 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal.  They kept
+        the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening
+        in the plains of Jericho.
+005:011 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce
+        of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
+005:012 The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce
+        of the land.  The children of Israel didn't have manna any more;
+        but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
+005:013 It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up
+        his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him
+        with his sword drawn in his hand.  Joshua went to him,
+        and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?"
+005:014 He said, "No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh's army."
+        Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped,
+        and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?"
+005:015 The prince of Yahweh's army said to Joshua, "Take your shoes
+        off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy."
+        Joshua did so.
+006:001 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel.
+        No one went out, and no one came in.
+006:002 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand,
+        with its king and the mighty men of valor.
+006:003 All your men of war shall march around the city, going around
+        the city once.  You shall do this six days.
+006:004 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before
+        the ark.  On the seventh day, you shall march around the city
+        seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
+006:005 It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn,
+        and when you 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 go up every man
+        straight before him."
+006:006 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them,
+        "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear
+        seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh."
+006:007 They said to the people, "Advance!  March around the city,
+        and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh's ark."
+006:008 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people,
+        the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams'
+        horns before Yahweh advanced, and blew the trumpets;
+        and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.
+006:009 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets,
+        and the ark went after them.  The trumpets sounded as they went.
+006:010 Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout,
+        nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed
+        out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout.
+        Then you shall shout."
+006:011 So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city,
+        going about it once.  Then they came into the camp, and lodged
+        in the camp.
+006:012 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up
+        the ark of Yahweh.
+006:013 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams'
+        horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually,
+        and blew the trumpets:  and the armed men went before them.
+        The rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh.  The trumpets
+        sounded as they went.
+006:014 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned
+        into the camp.  They did this six days.
+006:015 It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning
+        of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times.
+        Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
+006:016 It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets,
+        Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for Yahweh has given
+        you the city!
+006:017 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh.
+        Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with
+        her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
+006:018 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing,
+        lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing;
+        so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
+006:019 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,
+        are holy to Yahweh.  They shall come into Yahweh's treasury."
+006:020 So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets.
+        It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet,
+        that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall
+        fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city,
+        every man straight before him, and they took the city.
+006:021 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man
+        and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey,
+        with the edge of the sword.
+006:022 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land,
+        "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there
+        the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."
+006:023 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab
+        with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had.
+        They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them
+        outside of the camp of Israel.
+006:024 They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it.
+        Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass
+        and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh's house.
+006:025 But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all
+        that she had, Joshua saved alive.  She lived in the midst
+        of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers,
+        whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
+006:026 Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, "Cursed be
+        the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho.
+        With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation,
+        and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
+006:027 So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
+007:001 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing;
+        for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son
+        of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing:
+        and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the children of Israel.
+007:002 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven,
+        on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up
+        and spy out the land.  The men went up and spied out Ai.
+007:003 They returned to Joshua, and said to him, Don't let all
+        the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go
+        up and strike Ai; don't make all the people to toil there;
+        for they are but few.
+007:004 So there went up there of the people about three thousand men:
+        and they fled before the men of Ai.
+007:005 The men of Ai struck of them about thirty-six men; and they
+        chased them [from] before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck
+        them at the descent; and the hearts of the people melted,
+        and became as water.
+007:006 Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before
+        the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel;
+        and they put dust on their heads.
+007:007 Joshua said, Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you at all brought
+        this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand
+        of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been
+        content and lived beyond the Jordan!
+007:008 Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has turned
+        their backs before their enemies!
+007:009 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will
+        hear of it, and will compass us round, and cut off our name
+        from the earth:  and what will you do for your great name?
+007:010 Yahweh said to Joshua, Get you up; why are you thus fallen
+        on your face?
+007:011 Israel has sinned; yes, they have even transgressed my
+        covenant which I commanded them:  yes, they have even taken
+        of the devoted thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also;
+        and they have even put it among their own stuff.
+007:012 Therefore the children of Israel can't stand before their enemies;
+        they turn their backs before their enemies, because they
+        are become accursed:  I will not be with you any more,
+        except you destroy the devoted thing from among you.
+007:013 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves
+        against tomorrow:  for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, There is
+        a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel; you can not stand
+        before your enemies, until you take away the devoted thing
+        from among you.
+007:014 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes:
+        and it shall be, that the tribe which Yahweh takes shall come
+        near by families; and the family which Yahweh shall take
+        shall come near by households; and the household which Yahweh
+        shall take shall come near man by man.
+007:015 It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall
+        be burnt with fire, he and all that he has; because he has
+        transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he has done
+        folly in Israel.
+007:016 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel
+        near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
+007:017 and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family
+        of the Zerahites:  and he brought near the family of the Zerahites
+        man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
+007:018 and he brought near his household man by man; and Achan,
+        the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah,
+        of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
+007:019 Joshua said to Achan, My son, please give glory to Yahweh,
+        the God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me
+        now what you have done; don't hide it from me.
+007:020 Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned
+        against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
+007:021 when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle,
+        and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold
+        of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them;
+        and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent,
+        and the silver under it.
+007:022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold,
+        it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
+007:023 They took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them
+        to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel; and they laid
+        them down before Yahweh.
+007:024 Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah,
+        and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold,
+        and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys,
+        and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had:
+        and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
+007:025 Joshua said, Why have you troubled us?  Yahweh shall
+        trouble you this day.  All Israel stoned him with stones;
+        and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
+007:026 They raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day;
+        and Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger.
+        Therefore the name of that place was called "The valley of Achor"
+        to this day.
+008:001 Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed:
+        take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up
+        to Ai; behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai,
+        and his people, and his city, and his land;
+008:002 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king:
+        only the spoil of it, and the livestock of it, shall you
+        take for a prey to yourselves:  set you an ambush for the
+        city behind it.
+008:003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai:
+        and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor,
+        and sent them forth by night.
+008:004 He commanded them, saying, Behold, you shall lie in ambush against
+        the city, behind the city; don't go very far from the city,
+        but be all ready:
+008:005 and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city.
+        It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first,
+        that we will flee before them;
+008:006 and they will come out after us, until we have drawn them
+        away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us,
+        as at the first:  so we will flee before them;
+008:007 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of
+        the city:  for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.
+008:008 It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set
+        the city on fire; according to the word of Yahweh shall you do:
+        behold, I have commanded you.
+008:009 Joshua sent them forth; and they went to set up the ambush,
+        and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai:
+        but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
+008:010 Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people,
+        and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
+008:011 All the people, [even] the [men of] war who were with him,
+        went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped
+        on the north side of Ai:  now there was a valley between
+        him and Ai.
+008:012 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between
+        Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
+008:013 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north
+        of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city;
+        and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
+008:014 It happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried
+        and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against
+        Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed,
+        before the Arabah; but he didn't know that there was an ambush
+        against him behind the city.
+008:015 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them,
+        and fled by the way of the wilderness.
+008:016 All the people who were in the city were called together
+        to pursue after them:  and they pursued after Joshua,
+        and were drawn away from the city.
+008:017 There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El, who didn't
+        go out after Israel:  and they left the city open,
+        and pursued after Israel.
+008:018 Yahweh said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin that is in
+        your hand toward Ai; for I will give it into your hand.
+        Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand
+        toward the city.
+008:019 The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon
+        as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city,
+        and took it; and they hurried and set the city on fire.
+008:020 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 who fled
+        to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
+008:021 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 killed the men of Ai.
+008:022 The others came forth 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 struck them, so that they
+        let none of them remain or escape.
+008:023 The king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
+008:024 It happened, when Israel had made an end of killing all the
+        inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they
+        pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword,
+        until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai,
+        and struck it with the edge of the sword.
+008:025 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand,
+        even all the men of Ai.
+008:026 For Joshua didn't draw back his hand, with which he stretched
+        out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the
+        inhabitants of Ai.
+008:027 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took
+        for prey to themselves, according to the word of Yahweh
+        which he commanded Joshua.
+008:028 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation,
+        to this day.
+008:029 The king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening:
+        and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they
+        took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance
+        of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap
+        of stones, to this day.
+008:030 Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel,
+        in Mount Ebal,
+008:031 as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel,
+        as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar
+        of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron:
+        and they offered thereon burnt offerings to Yahweh,
+        and sacrificed peace offerings.
+008:032 He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses,
+        which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.
+008:033 All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges,
+        stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests
+        the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh,
+        as well the foreigner as the native; half of them in front
+        of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal;
+        as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first,
+        that they should bless the people of Israel.
+008:034 Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing
+        and the curse, according to all that is written in the book
+        of the law.
+008:035 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua
+        didn't read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women,
+        and the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
+009:001 It happened, when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan,
+        in the hill country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore
+        of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite,
+        the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
+        heard of it;
+009:002 that they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua
+        and with Israel, with one accord.
+009:003 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done
+        to Jericho and to Ai,
+009:004 they also resorted to a ruse, and went and made as if they
+        had been ambassadors, and took old sacks on their donkeys,
+        and wineskins, old and torn and bound up,
+009:005 and old and patched shoes on their feet, and old garments on them;
+        and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become moldy.
+009:006 They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him,
+        and to the men of Israel, We are come from a far country:
+        now therefore make you a covenant with us.
+009:007 The men of Israel said to the Hivites, What if you dwell among us;
+        and how shall we make a covenant with you?
+009:008 They said to Joshua, We are your servants.  Joshua said to them,
+        Who are you? and from whence come you?
+009:009 They said to him, From a very far country your servants
+        are come because of the name of Yahweh your God:
+        for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
+009:010 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites,
+        who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon,
+        and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.
+009:011 Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke
+        to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey,
+        and go to meet them, and tell them, We are your servants:
+        and now make you a covenant with us.
+009:012 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses
+        on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry,
+        and is become moldy:
+009:013 and these wineskins, which we filled, were new; and behold,
+        they are torn:  and these our garments and our shoes are become
+        old by reason of the very long journey.
+009:014 The men took of their provision, and didn't ask counsel at
+        the mouth of Yahweh.
+009:015 Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them,
+        to let them live:  and the princes of the congregation
+        swore to them.
+009:016 It happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant
+        with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors,
+        and that they lived among them.
+009:017 The children of Israel traveled, and came to their cities on
+        the third day.  Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah,
+        and Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim.
+009:018 The children of Israel didn't strike them, because the princes
+        of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel.
+        All the congregation murmured against the princes.
+009:019 But all the princes said to all the congregation,
+        We have sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel:
+        now therefore we may not touch them.
+009:020 This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us,
+        because of the oath which we swore to them.
+009:021 The princes said to them, Let them live:  so they became
+        wood cutters and drawers of water to all the congregation,
+        as the princes had spoken to them.
+009:022 Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying,
+        Why have you deceived us, saying, We are very far from you;
+        when you dwell among us?
+009:023 Now therefore you are cursed, and there shall never fail to be
+        of you bondservants, both wood cutters and drawers of water
+        for the house of my God.
+009:024 They answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly
+        told your servants, how that Yahweh your 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 for our lives because of you,
+        and have done this thing.
+009:025 Now, behold, we are in your hand:  as it seems good and right
+        to you to do to us, do.
+009:026 So did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of
+        the children of Israel, that they didn't kill them.
+009:027 That day Joshua made those wood cutters and drawers of water
+        for the congregation, and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day,
+        in the place which he should choose.
+010:001 Now it happened, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem 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;
+010:002 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 of it were mighty.
+010:003 Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron,
+        and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish,
+        and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
+010:004 Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it
+        has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
+010:005 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 armies, and encamped against Gibeon,
+        and made war against it.
+010:006 The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,
+        saying, Don't slack your hand from your servants;
+        come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us:
+        for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill
+        country are gathered together against us.
+010:007 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
+        with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
+010:008 Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't fear them:  for I have delivered
+        them into your hands; there shall not a man of them
+        stand before you.
+010:009 Joshua therefore came on them suddenly; [for] he went up
+        from Gilgal all the night.
+010:010 Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them
+        with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way
+        of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah,
+        and to Makkedah.
+010:011 It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they
+        were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Yahweh cast down
+        great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died:
+        they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom
+        the children of Israel killed with the sword.
+010:012 Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh
+        delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel;
+        and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still
+        on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
+010:013 The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation
+        had avenged themselves of their enemies.  Isn't this written
+        in the book of Jashar?  The sun stayed in the midst of the sky,
+        and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day.
+010:014 There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh
+        listened to the voice of a man:  for Yahweh fought for Israel.
+010:015 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
+010:016 These five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.
+010:017 It was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found,
+        hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
+010:018 Joshua said, Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave,
+        and set men by it to keep them:
+010:019 but don't stay; pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost
+        of them; don't allow them to enter into their cities:
+        for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.
+010:020 It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had
+        made an end of killing them with a very great slaughter,
+        until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained
+        of them had entered into the fortified cities,
+010:021 that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at
+        Makkedah in peace:  none moved his tongue against any of
+        the children of Israel.
+010:022 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth
+        those five kings to me out of the cave.
+010:023 They did so, and brought forth those five kings to him out
+        of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
+        the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.
+010:024 It happened, when they brought forth those kings to Joshua,
+        that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said
+        to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him,
+        Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.
+        They came near, and put their feet on the necks of them.
+010:025 Joshua said to them, Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed;
+        be strong and of good courage:  for thus shall Yahweh do
+        to all your enemies against whom you fight.
+010:026 Afterward Joshua struck them, and put them to death, and hanged
+        them on five trees:  and they were hanging on the trees
+        until the evening.
+010:027 It happened 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 in which they had hidden themselves,
+        and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, to this very day.
+010:028 Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge
+        of the sword, and the king of it:  he utterly destroyed them
+        and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining;
+        and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the
+        king of Jericho.
+010:029 Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah,
+        and fought against Libnah:
+010:030 and Yahweh delivered it also, and the king of it, into the hand
+        of Israel; and he struck it with the edge of the sword,
+        and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining in it;
+        and he did to the king of it as he had done to the king of Jericho.
+010:031 Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish,
+        and encamped against it, and fought against it:
+010:032 and Yahweh delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel;
+        and he took it on the second day, and struck it with
+        the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were therein,
+        according to all that he had done to Libnah.
+010:033 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua
+        struck him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
+010:034 Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon;
+        and they encamped against it, and fought against it;
+010:035 and they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge
+        of the sword; and all the souls who were therein he utterly
+        destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
+010:036 Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron;
+        and they fought against it:
+010:037 and they took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword,
+        and the king of it, and all the cities of it, and all the souls
+        who were therein; he left none remaining, according to all
+        that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it,
+        and all the souls who were therein.
+010:038 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir,
+        and fought against it:
+010:039 and he took it, and the king of it, and all the cities of it;
+        and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly
+        destroyed all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining:
+        as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king of it;
+        as he had done also to Libnah, and to the king of it.
+010:040 So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, and the South,
+        and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kings:
+        he left none remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed,
+        as Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded.
+010:041 Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all
+        the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.
+010:042 All these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time,
+        because Yahweh, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
+010:043 Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp to Gilgal.
+011:001 It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent
+        to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron,
+        and to the king of Achshaph,
+011:002 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country,
+        and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland,
+        and in the heights of Dor on the west,
+011:003 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite,
+        and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the
+        hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
+011:004 They went out, they and all their armies with them, much people,
+        even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude,
+        with horses and chariots very many.
+011:005 All these kings met together; and they came and encamped
+        together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
+011:006 Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't be afraid because of them;
+        for tomorrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain
+        before Israel:  you shall hamstring their horses, and burn
+        their chariots with fire.
+011:007 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them
+        by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.
+011:008 Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them,
+        and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim,
+        and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they struck them,
+        until they left them none remaining.
+011:009 Joshua did to them as Yahweh bade him:  he hamstrung their horses,
+        and burnt their chariots with fire.
+011:010 Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck
+        the king of it with the sword:  for Hazor before was the head
+        of all those kingdoms.
+011:011 They struck all the souls who were therein with the edge of the sword,
+        utterly destroying them; there was none left who breathed:
+        and he burnt Hazor with fire.
+011:012 All the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them,
+        did Joshua take, and he struck them with the edge of
+        the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant
+        of Yahweh commanded.
+011:013 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned
+        none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
+011:014 All the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the children
+        of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they
+        struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them,
+        neither left they any who breathed.
+011:015 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua:
+        and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that
+        Yahweh commanded Moses.
+011:016 So Joshua took all that land, the hill country, and all the South,
+        and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah,
+        and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;
+011:017 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad
+        in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon:  and all their
+        kings he took, and struck them, and put them to death.
+011:018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
+011:019 There was not a city that made peace with the children
+        of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon:
+        they took all in battle.
+011:020 For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against
+        Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them,
+        that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them,
+        as Yahweh commanded Moses.
+011:021 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the
+        hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from
+        all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country
+        of Israel:  Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
+011:022 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children
+        of Israel:  only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod,
+        did some remain.
+011:023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh
+        spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance
+        to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes.
+        The land had rest from war.
+012:001 Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of
+        Israel struck, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward
+        the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon,
+        and all the Arabah eastward:
+012:002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and ruled
+        from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon,
+        and [the city that is in] the middle of the valley, and half Gilead,
+        even to the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;
+012:003 and the Arabah to the sea of Chinneroth, eastward, and to
+        the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, eastward, the way
+        to Beth Jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:
+012:004 and the border of Og king of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim,
+        who lived at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
+012:005 and ruled in Mount Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan,
+        to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites,
+        and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
+012:006 Moses the servant of Yahweh and the children of Israel struck them:
+        and Moses the servant of Yahweh gave it for a possession to
+        the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
+012:007 These are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children
+        of Israel struck beyond the Jordan westward, from Baal Gad in
+        the valley of Lebanon even to Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir;
+        and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel for a possession
+        according to their divisions;
+012:008 in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the Arabah,
+        and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the South;
+        the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite,
+        the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
+012:009 the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;
+012:010 the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
+012:011 the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
+012:012 the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
+012:013 the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
+012:014 the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
+012:015 the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
+012:016 the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
+012:017 the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
+012:018 the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one;
+012:019 the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
+012:020 the king of Shimron Meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
+012:021 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
+012:022 the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;
+012:023 the king of Dor in the height of Dor, one; the king of Goiim
+        in Gilgal, one;
+012:024 the king of Tirzah, one:  all the kings thirty-one.
+013:001 Now Joshua was old and well stricken in years; and Yahweh said
+        to him, You are old and well stricken in years, and there
+        remains yet very much land to be possessed.
+013:002 This is the land that yet remains:  all the regions of
+        the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;
+013:003 from the Shihor, which is before Egypt, even to the border
+        of Ekron northward, [which] is reckoned to the Canaanites;
+        the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, and the Ashdodites,
+        the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites;
+        also the Avvim,
+013:004 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
+        that belongs to the Sidonians, to Aphek, to the border
+        of the Amorites;
+013:005 and the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise,
+        from Baal Gad under Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath;
+013:006 all the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to
+        Misrephoth Maim, even all the Sidonians; them will I drive
+        out from before the children of Israel:  only allot you it
+        to Israel for an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
+013:007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance to the nine tribes,
+        and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
+013:008 With him the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance,
+        which Moses gave them, beyond the Jordan eastward, even as Moses
+        the servant of Yahweh gave them:
+013:009 from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon,
+        and the city that is in the middle of the valley, and all
+        the plain of Medeba to Dibon;
+013:010 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned
+        in Heshbon, to the border of the children of Ammon;
+013:011 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites,
+        and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;
+013:012 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth
+        and in Edrei (the same was left of the remnant of the Rephaim);
+        for these did Moses strike, and drove them out.
+013:013 Nevertheless the children of Israel didn't drive out the Geshurites,
+        nor the Maacathites:  but Geshur and Maacath dwell in the midst
+        of Israel to this day.
+013:014 Only to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance; the offerings
+        of Yahweh, the God of Israel, made by fire are his inheritance,
+        as he spoke to him.
+013:015 Moses gave to the tribe of the children of Reuben according
+        to their families.
+013:016 Their border was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the valley
+        of the Arnon, and the city that is in the middle of the valley,
+        and all the plain by Medeba;
+013:017 Heshbon, and all its cities that are in the plain; Dibon,
+        and Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon,
+013:018 and Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
+013:019 and Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth Shahar in the mount
+        of the valley,
+013:020 and Beth Peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth,
+013:021 and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon
+        king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses struck
+        with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur,
+        and Reba, the princes of Sihon, who lived in the land.
+013:022 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children
+        of Israel kill with the sword among the rest of their slain.
+013:023 The border of the children of Reuben was the Jordan, and the border
+        [of it]. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben
+        according to their families, the cities and the villages of it.
+013:024 Moses gave to the tribe of Gad, to the children of Gad,
+        according to their families.
+013:025 Their border was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead,
+        and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that
+        is before Rabbah;
+013:026 and from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim
+        to the border of Debir;
+013:027 and in the valley, Beth Haram, and Beth Nimrah, and Succoth,
+        and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon,
+        the Jordan and the border [of it], to the uttermost part
+        of the sea of Chinnereth beyond the Jordan eastward.
+013:028 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad according
+        to their families, the cities and the villages of it.
+013:029 Moses gave [inheritance] to the half-tribe of Manasseh:
+        and it was for the half-tribe of the children of Manasseh
+        according to their families.
+013:030 Their border was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom
+        of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are
+        in Bashan, sixty cities:
+013:031 and half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, the cities of
+        the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir
+        the son of Manasseh, even for the half of the children
+        of Machir according to their families.
+013:032 These are the inheritances which Moses distributed in the plains
+        of Moab, beyond the Jordan at Jericho, eastward.
+013:033 But to the tribe of Levi Moses gave no inheritance:  Yahweh, the God
+        of Israel, is their inheritance, as he spoke to them.
+014:001 These are the inheritances which the children of Israel
+        took in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest,
+        and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers'
+        [houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel,
+        distributed to them,
+014:002 by the lot of their inheritance, as Yahweh commanded by Moses,
+        for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe.
+014:003 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and
+        the half-tribe beyond the Jordan:  but to the Levites he gave
+        no inheritance among them.
+014:004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim:
+        and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land,
+        save cities to dwell in, with the suburbs of it for their
+        livestock and for their substance.
+014:005 As Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did;
+        and they divided the land.
+014:006 Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal:
+        and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,
+        You know the thing that Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God
+        concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh Barnea.
+014:007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Yahweh sent
+        me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land; and I brought him
+        word again as it was in my heart.
+014:008 Nevertheless my brothers who went up with me made the heart
+        of the people melt; but I wholly followed Yahweh my God.
+014:009 Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon
+        your foot has trodden shall be an inheritance to you and
+        to your children forever, because you have wholly followed
+        Yahweh my God.
+014:010 Now, behold, Yahweh has kept me alive, as he spoke,
+        these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke
+        this word to Moses, while Israel walked in the wilderness:
+        and now, behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.
+014:011 As yet I am as strong this day as I as in the day that Moses sent me:
+        as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war,
+        and to go out and to come in.
+014:012 Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke
+        in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there,
+        and cities great and fortified:  it may be that Yahweh will
+        be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh spoke.
+014:013 Joshua blessed him; and he gave Hebron to Caleb the son
+        of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
+014:014 Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son
+        of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day; because that he wholly
+        followed Yahweh, the God of Israel.
+014:015 Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba;
+        [which Arba was] the greatest man among the Anakim.
+        The land had rest from war.
+015:001 The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their
+        families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness
+        of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.
+015:002 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea,
+        from the bay that looks southward;
+015:003 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed
+        along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea,
+        and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned
+        about to Karka;
+015:004 and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook
+        of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea:
+        this shall be your south border.
+015:005 The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan.
+        The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea
+        at the end of the Jordan;
+015:006 and the border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by
+        the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone
+        of Bohan the son of Reuben;
+015:007 and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor,
+        and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against
+        the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river;
+        and the border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh,
+        and the goings out of it were at En Rogel;
+015:008 and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom
+        to the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem);
+        and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies
+        before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost
+        part of the valley of Rephaim northward;
+015:009 and the border extended from the top of the mountain
+        to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to
+        the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah
+        (the same is Kiriath Jearim);
+015:010 and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir,
+        and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north
+        (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth Shemesh,
+        and passed along by Timnah;
+015:011 and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward;
+        and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along
+        to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings
+        out of the border were at the sea.
+015:012 The west border was to the great sea, and the border [of it].
+        This is the border of the children of Judah round about
+        according to their families.
+015:013 To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children
+        of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua,
+        even Kiriath Arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak
+        (the same is Hebron).
+015:014 Caleb drove out there the three sons of Anak:  Sheshai, and Ahiman,
+        and Talmai, the children of Anak.
+015:015 He went up there against the inhabitants of Debir:
+        now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.
+015:016 Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it,
+        to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
+015:017 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it:
+        and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
+015:018 It happened, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask
+        of her father a field:  and she alighted from off her donkey;
+        and Caleb said, What would you?
+015:019 She said, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me
+        in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.
+        He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
+015:020 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
+        according to their families.
+015:021 The uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah
+        toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel,
+        and Eder, and Jagur,

+015:044 and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities
+        with their villages.
+015:045 Ekron, with its towns and its villages;
+015:046 from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod,
+        with their villages.
+015:047 Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and
+        its villages; to the brook of Egypt, and the great sea,
+        and the border [of it].
+015:048 In the hill country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
+015:049 and Dannah, and Kiriath Sannah (the same is Debir),
+015:050 and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
+015:051 and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.
+015:052 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan,
+015:053 and Janim, and Beth Tappuah, and Aphekah,
+015:054 and Humtah, and Kiriath Arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior;

+        with their villages.
+015:060 Kiriath Baal (the same is Kiriath Jearim), and Rabbah;
+        two cities with their villages.
+015:061 In the wilderness, Beth Arabah, Middin, and Secacah,
+015:062 and Nibshan, and the City of Salt, and En Gedi; six cities
+        with their villages.
+015:063 As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children
+        of Judah couldn't drive them out:  but the Jebusites dwell
+        with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.
+016:001 The lot came out for the children of Joseph from the Jordan
+        at Jericho, at the waters of Jericho on the east,
+        even the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill
+        country to Bethel;
+016:002 and it went out from Bethel to Luz, and passed along to the border
+        of the Archites to Ataroth;
+016:003 and it went down westward to the border of the Japhletites,
+        to the border of Beth Horon the lower, even to Gezer;
+        and the goings out of it were at the sea.
+016:004 The children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
+016:005 The border of the children of Ephraim according to their
+        families was [thus]: the border of their inheritance eastward
+        was Ataroth Addar, to Beth Horon the upper;
+016:006 and the border went out westward at Michmethath on the north;
+        and the border turned about eastward to Taanath Shiloh,
+        and passed along it on the east of Janoah;
+016:007 and it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, and to Naarah,
+        and reached to Jericho, and went out at the Jordan.
+016:008 From Tappuah the border went along westward to the brook
+        of Kanah; and the goings out of it were at the sea.
+        This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim
+        according to their families;
+016:009 together with the cities which were set apart for the children
+        of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the children
+        of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
+016:010 They didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer:
+        but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day,
+        and are become servants to do forced labor.
+017:001 [This] was the lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was
+        the firstborn of Joseph.  As for Machir the firstborn
+        of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war,
+        therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
+017:002 So [the lot] was for the rest of the children of Manasseh
+        according to their families:  for the children of Abiezer,
+        and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel,
+        and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher,
+        and for the children of Shemida:  these were the male children
+        of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
+017:003 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead,
+        the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons,
+        but daughters:  and these are the names of his daughters:
+        Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
+017:004 They came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua
+        the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, Yahweh commanded
+        Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers:
+        therefore according to the commandment of Yahweh he gave them
+        an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
+017:005 There fell ten parts to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead
+        and Bashan, which is beyond the Jordan;
+017:006 because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons.
+        The land of Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
+017:007 The border of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethath, which is
+        before Shechem; and the border went along to the right hand,
+        to the inhabitants of En Tappuah.
+017:008 The land of Tappuah belonged to Manasseh; but Tappuah on
+        the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim.
+017:009 The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook:
+        these cities belonged to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh:
+        and the border of Manasseh was on the north side of the brook,
+        and the goings out of it were at the sea:
+017:010 southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's,
+        and the sea was his border; and they reached to Asher on the north,
+        and to Issachar on the east.
+017:011 Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth Shean and its towns,
+        and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor
+        and its towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and its towns,
+        and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants
+        of Megiddo and its towns, even the three heights.
+017:012 Yet the children of Manasseh couldn't drive out [the inhabitants
+        of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
+017:013 It happened, when the children of Israel had grown strong,
+        that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and didn't
+        utterly drive them out.
+017:014 The children of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, Why have you
+        given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I
+        am a great people, because hitherto Yahweh has blessed me?
+017:015 Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest,
+        and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites
+        and of the Rephaim; since the hill country of Ephraim is too
+        narrow for you.
+017:016 The children of Joseph said, The hill country is not enough for us:
+        and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have
+        chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth Shean and its towns,
+        and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.
+017:017 Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and
+        to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power;
+        you shall not have one lot only:
+017:018 but the hill country shall be yours; for though it is a forest,
+        you shall cut it down, and the goings out of it shall be yours;
+        for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have
+        chariots of iron, and though they are strong.
+018:001 The whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves
+        together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there:
+        and the land was subdued before them.
+018:002 There remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
+        which had not yet divided their inheritance.
+018:003 Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are you slack to go
+        in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers,
+        has given you?
+018:004 Appoint for you three men of each tribe:  and I will send them,
+        and they shall arise, and walk through the land, and describe
+        it according to their inheritance; and they shall come to me.
+018:005 They shall divide it into seven portions:  Judah shall abide
+        in his border on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
+        abide in their border on the north.
+018:006 You shall describe the land into seven portions, and bring
+        [the description] here to me; and I will cast lots for you
+        here before Yahweh our God.
+018:007 For the Levites have no portion among you; for the priesthood
+        of Yahweh is their inheritance:  and Gad and Reuben and
+        the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance
+        beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses the servant of
+        Yahweh gave them.
+018:008 The men arose, and went:  and Joshua charged those who went
+        to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land,
+        and describe it, and come again to me; and I will cast lots
+        for you here before Yahweh in Shiloh.
+018:009 The men went and passed through the land, and described it
+        by cities into seven portions in a book; and they came
+        to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.
+018:010 Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh:
+        and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel
+        according to their divisions.
+018:011 The lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up
+        according to their families:  and the border of their lot went
+        out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
+018:012 Their border on the north quarter was from the Jordan;
+        and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north,
+        and went up through the hill country westward; and the goings
+        out of it were at the wilderness of Beth Aven.
+018:013 The border passed along from there to Luz, to the side of Luz
+        (the same is Bethel), southward; and the border went down
+        to Ataroth Addar, by the mountain that lies on the south
+        of Beth Horon the lower.
+018:014 The border extended [there], and turned about on the west
+        quarter southward, from the mountain that lies before
+        Beth Horon southward; and the goings out of it were at Kiriath Baal
+        (the same is Kiriath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah:
+        this was the west quarter.
+018:015 The south quarter was from the uttermost part of Kiriath Jearim;
+        and the border went out westward, and went out to the spring
+        of the waters of Nephtoah;
+018:016 and the border went down to the uttermost part of the mountain
+        that lies before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is
+        in the valley of Rephaim northward; and it went down to
+        the valley of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite southward,
+        and went down to En Rogel;
+018:017 and it extended northward, and went out at En Shemesh, and went
+        out to Geliloth, which is over against the ascent of Adummim;
+        and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;
+018:018 and it passed along to the side over against the Arabah northward,
+        and went down to the Arabah;
+018:019 and the border passed along to the side of Beth Hoglah northward;
+        and the goings out of the border were at the north
+        bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan:
+        this was the south border.
+018:020 The Jordan was the border of it on the east quarter.
+        This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin,
+        by the borders of it round about, according to their families.
+018:021 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
+        according to their families were Jericho, and Beth Hoglah,
+        and Emek Keziz,
+018:022 and Beth Arabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
+018:023 and Avvim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
+018:024 and Chephar Ammoni, and Ophni, and Geba; twelve cities
+        with their villages:
+018:025 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
+018:026 and Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
+018:027 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
+018:028 and Zelah, Eleph, and the Jebusite (the same is Jerusalem), Gibeath,
+        [and] Kiriath; fourteen cities with their villages.
+        This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according
+        to their families.
+019:001 The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe
+        of the children of Simeon according to their families:
+        and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance
+        of the children of Judah.
+019:002 They had for their inheritance Beersheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,
+019:003 and Hazar Shual, and Balah, and Ezem,
+019:004 and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

+019:008 and all the villages that were round about these cities to
+        Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South.  This is the inheritance of
+        the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
+019:009 Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance
+        of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children
+        of Judah was too much for them:  therefore the children
+        of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.
+019:010 The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according
+        to their families; and the border of their inheritance
+        was to Sarid;
+019:011 and their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached
+        to Dabbesheth; and it reached to the brook that is before Jokneam;
+019:012 and it turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to
+        the border of Chisloth Tabor; and it went out to Daberath,
+        and went up to Japhia;
+019:013 and from there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Ethkazin;
+        and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah;
+019:014 and the border turned about it on the north to Hannathon;
+        and the goings out of it were at the valley of Iphtah El;
+019:015 and Kattath, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem:
+        twelve cities with their villages.
+019:016 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according
+        to their families, these cities with their villages.
+019:017 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children
+        of Issachar according to their families.

+019:021 and Remeth, and Engannim, and En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez,
+019:022 and the border reached to Tabor, and Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh;
+        and the goings out of their border were at the Jordan:
+        sixteen cities with their villages.
+019:023 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar
+        according to their families, the cities with their villages.
+019:024 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher
+        according to their families.
+019:025 Their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
+019:026 and Allammelech, and Amad, and Mishal; and it reached to
+        Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;
+019:027 and it turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon, and reached
+        to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah El northward to Beth Emek
+        and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand,
+019:028 and Ebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even to great Sidon;
+019:029 and the border turned to Ramah, and to the fortified city of Tyre;
+        and the border turned to Hosah; and the goings out of it
+        were at the sea by the region of Achzib;
+019:030 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob:  twenty-two cities
+        with their villages.
+019:031 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher
+        according to their families, these cities with their villages.
+019:032 The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for
+        the children of Naphtali according to their families.
+019:033 Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim,
+        and Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum; and the goings out
+        of it were at the Jordan;

+019:038 Iron, and Migdal El, Horem, and Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh;
+        nineteen cities with their villages.
+019:039 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
+        according to their families, the cities with their villages.
+019:040 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan
+        according to their families.

+019:042 and Shaalabbin, and Aijalon, and Ithlah,
+019:043 and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,
+019:044 and Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
+019:045 and Jehud, and Bene Berak, and Gath Rimmon,
+019:046 and Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.
+019:047 The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them;
+        for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem,
+        and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword,
+        and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan,
+        after the name of Dan their father.
+019:048 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan
+        according to their families, these cities with their villages.
+019:049 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance
+        by the borders of it; and the children of Israel gave an
+        inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them:
+019:050 according to the commandment of Yahweh they gave him the city
+        which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim;
+        and he built the city, and lived therein.
+019:051 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua
+        the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' [houses] of the tribes
+        of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot
+        in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the tent of meeting.
+        So they made an end of dividing the land.
+020:001 Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,
+020:002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Assign you the cities
+        of refuge, of which I spoke to you by Moses,
+020:003 that the manslayer who kills any person unwittingly [and]
+        unawares may flee there:  and they shall be to you for a refuge
+        from the avenger of blood.
+020:004 He shall flee to one of those cities, and shall stand at
+        the entrance of the gate of the city, and declare his cause
+        in the ears of the elders of that city; and they shall
+        take him into the city to them, and give him a place,
+        that he may dwell among them.
+020:005 If the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall
+        not deliver up the manslayer into his hand; because he struck
+        his neighbor unawares, and didn't hate him before.
+020:006 He shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the
+        congregation for judgment, until the death of the high priest
+        that shall be in those days:  then shall the manslayer return,
+        and come to his own city, and to his own house, to the city
+        from whence he fled.
+020:007 They set apart Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali,
+        and Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and Kiriath Arba
+        (the same is Hebron) in the hill country of Judah.
+020:008 Beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer
+        in the wilderness in the plain out of the tribe of Reuben,
+        and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan
+        in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
+020:009 These were the appointed cities for all the children
+        of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them,
+        that whoever kills any person unwittingly might flee there,
+        and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood
+        before the congregation.
+021:001 Then came near the heads of fathers' [houses] of the Levites
+        to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun,
+        and to the heads of fathers' [houses] of the tribes of
+        the children of Israel;
+021:002 and they spoke to them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan,
+        saying, Yahweh commanded Moses to give us cities to dwell in,
+        with the suburbs of it for our livestock.
+021:003 The children of Israel gave to the Levites out of their inheritance,
+        according to the commandment of Yahweh, these cities
+        with their suburbs.
+021:004 The lot came out for the families of the Kohathites:
+        and the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites,
+        had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of
+        the Simeonites, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
+021:005 The rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families
+        of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan,
+        and out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
+021:006 The children of Gershon had by lot out of the families
+        of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher,
+        and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half-tribe
+        of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
+021:007 The children of Merari according to their families had
+        out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad,
+        and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
+021:008 The children of Israel gave by lot to the Levites these cities
+        with their suburbs, as Yahweh commanded by Moses.
+021:009 They gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah,
+        and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities
+        which are [here] mentioned by name:
+021:010 and they were for the children of Aaron, of the families
+        of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi;
+        for theirs was the first lot.
+021:011 They gave them Kiriath Arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak
+        (the same is Hebron), in the hill country of Judah,
+        with the suburbs of it round about it.
+021:012 But the fields of the city, and the villages of it, gave they
+        to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
+021:013 To the children of Aaron the priest they gave Hebron
+        with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer,
+        and Libnah with its suburbs,
+021:014 and Jattir with its suburbs, and Eshtemoa with its suburbs,
+021:015 and Holon with its suburbs, and Debir with its suburbs,
+021:016 and Ain with its suburbs, and Juttah with its suburbs,
+        [and] Beth Shemesh with its suburbs; nine cities out of
+        those two tribes.
+021:017 Out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with its suburbs,
+        Geba with its suburbs,
+021:018 Anathoth with its suburbs, and Almon with its suburbs; four cities.
+021:019 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests,
+        were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
+021:020 The families of the children of Kohath, the Levites,
+        even the rest of the children of Kohath, they had the cities
+        of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
+021:021 They gave them Shechem with its suburbs in the hill country
+        of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Gezer
+        with its suburbs,
+021:022 and Kibzaim with its suburbs, and Beth Horon with its suburbs;
+        four cities.
+021:023 Out of the tribe of Dan, Elteke with its suburbs,
+        Gibbethon with its suburbs,
+021:024 Aijalon with its suburbs, Gath Rimmon with its suburbs; four cities.
+021:025 Out of the half-tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with its suburbs,
+        and Gath Rimmon with its suburbs; two cities.
+021:026 All the cities of the families of the rest of the children
+        of Kohath were ten with their suburbs.
+021:027 To the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites,
+        out of the half-tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in Bashan
+        with its suburbs, the city of refuge for the manslayer,
+        and Be Eshterah with its suburbs; two cities.
+021:028 Out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its suburbs,
+        Daberath with its suburbs,
+021:029 Jarmuth with its suburbs, En Gannim with its suburbs; four cities.
+021:030 Out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its suburbs,
+        Abdon with its suburbs,
+021:031 Helkath with its suburbs, and Rehob with its suburbs; four cities.
+021:032 Out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its suburbs,
+        the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Hammothdor with
+        its suburbs, and Kartan with its suburbs; three cities.
+021:033 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families
+        were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
+021:034 To the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites,
+        out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with its suburbs,
+        and Kartah with its suburbs,
+021:035 Dimnah with its suburbs, Nahalal with its suburbs; four cities.
+021:036 Out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with its suburbs, and Jahaz
+        with its suburbs,
+021:037 Kedemoth with its suburbs, and Mephaath with its suburbs;
+        four cities.
+021:038 Out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with its suburbs,
+        the city of refuge for the manslayer, and Mahanaim with its suburbs,
+021:039 Heshbon with its suburbs, Jazer with its suburbs;
+        four cities in all.
+021:040 All [these were] the cities of the children of Merari according
+        to their families, even the rest of the families of the Levites;
+        and their lot was twelve cities.
+021:041 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession
+        of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities
+        with their suburbs.
+021:042 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them:
+        thus it was with all these cities.
+021:043 So Yahweh gave to Israel all the land which he swore to give
+        to their fathers; and they possessed it, and lived therein.
+021:044 Yahweh gave them rest round about, according to all that he swore
+        to their fathers:  and there stood not a man of all their
+        enemies before them; Yahweh delivered all their enemies
+        into their hand.
+021:045 There failed not anything of any good thing which Yahweh had
+        spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass.
+022:001 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites,
+        and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
+022:002 and said to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant
+        of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all
+        that I commanded you:
+022:003 you have not left your brothers these many days to this day,
+        but have kept the charge of the commandment of Yahweh your God.
+022:004 Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke
+        to them:  therefore now turn you, and get you to your tents,
+        to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant
+        of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.
+022:005 Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses
+        the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God,
+        and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments,
+        and to cleave to him, and to serve him with all your heart
+        and with all your soul.
+022:006 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went
+        to their tents.
+022:007 Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given
+        [inheritance] in Bashan; but to the other half gave
+        Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward;
+        moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents,
+        he blessed them,
+022:008 and spoke to them, saying, Return with much wealth to your tents,
+        and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold,
+        and with brass, and with iron, and with very much clothing:
+        divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.
+022:009 The children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe
+        of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel
+        out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land
+        of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned,
+        according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
+022:010 When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land
+        of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and
+        the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan,
+        a great altar to look on.
+022:011 The children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben
+        and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh
+        have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan,
+        in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains
+        to the children of Israel.
+022:012 When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation
+        of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh,
+        to go up against them to war.
+022:013 The children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben,
+        and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh,
+        into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
+022:014 and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for
+        each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them
+        head of their fathers' houses among the thousands of Israel.
+022:015 They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad,
+        and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,
+        and they spoke with them, saying,
+022:016 Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, What trespass
+        is this that you have committed against the God of Israel,
+        to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you
+        have built you an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?
+022:017 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we
+        have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came
+        a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,
+022:018 that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? and it
+        will be, seeing you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow
+        he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
+022:019 However, if the land of your possession be unclean,
+        then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh,
+        in which Yahweh's tent dwells, and take possession among us:
+        but don't rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us,
+        in building you an altar besides the altar of Yahweh our God.
+022:020 Didn't Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing,
+        and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man
+        didn't perish alone in his iniquity.
+022:021 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and
+        the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads
+        of the thousands of Israel,
+022:022 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows;
+        and Israel he shall know:  if it be in rebellion, or if in
+        trespass against Yahweh (don't save us this day),
+022:023 that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh;
+        or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal offering,
+        or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings thereon,
+        let Yahweh himself require it;
+022:024 and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this,
+        [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might
+        speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with Yahweh,
+        the God of Israel?
+022:025 for Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you,
+        you children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no portion
+        in Yahweh:  so might your children make our children cease
+        from fearing Yahweh.
+022:026 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar,
+        not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
+022:027 but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our
+        generations after us, that we may do the service of Yahweh
+        before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices,
+        and with our peace offerings; that your children may not tell
+        our children in time to come, You have no portion in Yahweh.
+022:028 Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so tell us
+        or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say,
+        Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our
+        fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
+        but it is a witness between us and you.
+022:029 Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh,
+        and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar
+        for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice,
+        besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tent.
+022:030 When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation,
+        even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him,
+        heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children
+        of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
+022:031 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children
+        of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children
+        of Manasseh, This day we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us,
+        because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh:
+        now have you delivered the children of Israel out of the
+        hand of Yahweh.
+022:032 Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes,
+        returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children
+        of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan,
+        to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
+022:033 The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of
+        Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them
+        to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben
+        and the children of Gad lived.
+022:034 The children of Reuben and the children of Gad called
+        the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us
+        that Yahweh is God.
+023:001 It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest
+        to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua
+        was old and well stricken in years;
+023:002 that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for
+        their heads, and for their judges and for their officers,
+        and said to them, I am old and well stricken in years:
+023:003 and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all
+        these nations because of you; for Yahweh your God, he it
+        is that has fought for you.
+023:004 Behold, I have allotted to you these nations that remain,
+        to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan,
+        with all the nations that I have cut off, even to the great
+        sea toward the going down of the sun.
+023:005 Yahweh your God, he will thrust them out from before you,
+        and drive them from out of your sight; and you shall possess
+        their land, as Yahweh your God spoke to you.
+023:006 Therefore be you very courageous to keep and to do all that is
+        written in the book of the law of Moses, that you not turn
+        aside from it to the right hand or to the left;
+023:007 that you not come among these nations, these that remain
+        among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods,
+        nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow
+        down yourselves to them;
+023:008 but cleave to Yahweh your God, as you have done to this day.
+023:009 For Yahweh has driven out from before you great nations and strong:
+        but as for you, no man has stood before you to this day.
+023:010 One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Yahweh your God,
+        he it is who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
+023:011 Take good heed therefore to yourselves, that you love
+        Yahweh your God.
+023:012 Else if you do at all go back, and cleave to the remnant
+        of these nations, even these who remain among you, and make
+        marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you;
+023:013 know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no more drive
+        these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be
+        a snare and a trap to you, and a scourge in your sides,
+        and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this
+        good land which Yahweh your God has given you.
+023:014 Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth:
+        and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls,
+        that not one thing has failed of all the good things which
+        Yahweh your God spoke concerning you; all are happen to you,
+        not one thing has failed of it.
+023:015 It shall happen, that as all the good things are come on you
+        of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so will Yahweh bring
+        on you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from
+        off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.
+023:016 When you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God,
+        which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods,
+        and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Yahweh
+        be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off
+        the good land which he has given to you.
+024:001 Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem,
+        and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads,
+        and for their judges, and for their officers; and they
+        presented themselves before God.
+024:002 Joshua said to all the people, Thus says Yahweh, the God
+        of Israel, Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River,
+        even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor:
+        and they served other gods.
+024:003 I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him
+        throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed,
+        and gave him Isaac.
+024:004 I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau:  and I gave to Esau Mount Seir,
+        to possess it:  and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
+024:005 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to
+        that which I did in the midst of it:  and afterward I
+        brought you out.
+024:006 I brought your fathers out of Egypt:  and you came to the sea;
+        and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots
+        and with horsemen to the Red Sea{or, Sea of Reeds}.
+024:007 When they cried out to Yahweh, he put darkness between
+        you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them,
+        and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt:
+        and you lived in the wilderness many days.
+024:008 I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond
+        the Jordan:  and they fought with you; and I gave them into
+        your hand, and you possessed their land; and I destroyed them
+        from before you.
+024:009 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought
+        against Israel:  and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor
+        to curse you;
+024:010 but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still:
+        so I delivered you out of his hand.
+024:011 You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho:  and the men
+        of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite,
+        and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite,
+        and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
+024:012 I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you,
+        even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword,
+        nor with your bow.
+024:013 I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities
+        which you didn't build, and you dwell therein; of vineyards
+        and olive groves which you didn't plant do you eat.
+024:014 Now therefore fear Yahweh, and serve him in sincerity and in truth;
+        and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River,
+        and in Egypt; and serve you Yahweh.
+024:015 If it seem evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose you this day whom
+        you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served
+        that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites,
+        in whose land you dwell:  but as for me and my house,
+        we will serve Yahweh.
+024:016 The people answered, Far be it from us that we should forsake Yahweh,
+        to serve other gods;
+024:017 for Yahweh our God, he it is who brought us and our fathers
+        up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
+        and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us
+        in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples
+        through the midst of whom we passed;
+024:018 and Yahweh drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites
+        who lived in the land:  therefore we also will serve Yahweh;
+        for he is our God.
+024:019 Joshua said to the people, You can't serve Yahweh;
+        for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive
+        your disobedience nor your sins.
+024:020 If you forsake Yahweh, and serve foreign gods, then he will
+        turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he has
+        done you good.
+024:021 The people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve Yahweh.
+024:022 Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against
+        yourselves that you have chosen you Yahweh, to serve him.
+        They said, We are witnesses.
+024:023 Now therefore put away, [said he], the foreign gods which are
+        among you, and incline your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
+024:024 The people said to Joshua, Yahweh our God will we serve,
+        and to his voice will we listen.
+024:025 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set
+        them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
+024:026 Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God;
+        and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak
+        that was by the sanctuary of Yahweh.
+024:027 Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be
+        a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh
+        which he spoke to us:  it shall be therefore a witness against you,
+        lest you deny your God.
+024:028 So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
+024:029 It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun,
+        the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.
+024:030 They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah,
+        which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north
+        of the mountain of Gaash.
+024:031 Israel served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days
+        of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work
+        of Yahweh, that he had worked for Israel.
+024:032 The bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought
+        up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel
+        of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor
+        the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money:
+        and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
+024:033 Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the hill
+        of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill
+        country of Ephraim.

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
