ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. sunrising.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And 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 unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
