¹⁰ So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

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

¹⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

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

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

² And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

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

² And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:

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

¹⁰ And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

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

¹⁰ And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

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

²² But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

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.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy 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 of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
