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

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

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

⁷ Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because 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

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

¹ But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹³ Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

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

²³ And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

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

²⁷ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

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

¹⁴ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, LORD, save us not this day,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

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?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
