Joshua 1
1. Now after <0310> the death <04194> of Moses <
04872> the
servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> it came <
01961> to pass,
that the LORD <03068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <
03091> the son
<01121> of Nun <05126>, Moses <04872>' minister
<08334>, saying
<0559>,
2 Moses <04872> my servant <05650> is dead <
04191>; now <06258>
therefore arise <06965>, go <05674> over <05674>
this Jordan
<03383>, thou, and all <03605> this <02088>
people <05971>, unto
the land <0776> which <0834> I do give <05414>
to them, [even]
to the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
3 Every <03605> place <04725> that the sole <
03709> of your
foot <07272> shall tread <01869> upon, that have I
given <05414>
unto you, as I said <01696> unto Moses <04872>.
4 From the wilderness <04057> and this <02088>
Lebanon <03844>
even unto the great <01419> river <05104>, the river
<05104>
Euphrates <06578>, all <03605> the land <0776>
of the Hittites
<02850>, and unto the great <01419> sea <03220>
toward the going
<03996> down <03996> of the sun <08121>, shall
be your coast
<01366>.
5 There shall not any man <0376> be able <03320> to
stand
<03320> before <06440> thee all <03605> the
days <03117> of thy
life <02416>: as I was with Moses <04872>, [so] I
will be with
thee: I will not fail <07503> thee, nor <03808>
forsake <05800>
thee.
6 Be strong <02388> and of a good courage <0553>:
for unto this
<02088> people <05971> shalt thou divide for an
inheritance
<05157> the land <0776>, which <0834> I sware
<07650> unto their
fathers <01> to give <05414> them.
7 Only <07535> be thou strong <02388> and very <
03966>
courageous <0553>, that thou mayest observe <08104>
to do
<06213> according to all <03605> the law <08451>
, which <0834>
Moses <04872> my servant <05650> commanded <
06680> thee: turn
<05493> not from it [to] the right <03225> hand <
03225> or [to]
the left <08040>, that thou mayest prosper <07919>
whithersoever
thou goest <03212>.
8 This <02088> book <05612> of the law <08451>
shall not depart
<04185> out of thy mouth <06310>; but thou shalt
meditate
<01897> therein day <03119> and night <03915>,
that thou mayest
observe <08104> to do <06213> according to all <
03605> that is
written <03789> therein: for then <0227> thou shalt
make thy way
<01870> prosperous <06743>, and then <0227>
thou shalt have good
success <07919>.
9 Have not I commanded <06680> thee? Be strong <
02388> and of a
good courage <0553>; be not afraid <06206>, neither
<0408> be
thou dismayed <02865>: for the LORD <03068> thy God
<0430> [is]
with thee whithersoever thou goest <03212>.
10. Then Joshua <03091> commanded <06680> the
officers <07860>
of the people <05971>, saying <0559>,
11 Pass <05674> through <07130> the host <
04264>, and command
<06680> the people <05971>, saying <0559>,
Prepare <03559> you
victuals <06720>; for within <05750> three <
07969> days <03117>
ye shall pass <05674> over <05674> this <02088>
Jordan <03383>,
to go <0935> in to possess <03423> the land <
0776>, which <0834>
the LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414>
you to possess
<03423> it.
12 And to the Reubenites <07206>, and to the Gadites <
01425>,
and to half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <
04519>, spake
<0559> Joshua <03091>, saying <0559>,
13 Remember <02142> the word <01697> which <
0834> Moses <04872>
the servant <05650> of the LORD <03068> commanded <
06680> you,
saying <0559>, The LORD <03068> your God <0430>
hath given you
rest <05117>, and hath given <05414> you this <
02063> land
<0776>.
14 Your wives <0802>, your little <02945> ones, and
your cattle
<04735>, shall remain <03427> in the land <0776>
which <0834>
Moses <04872> gave <05414> you on this side <
05676> Jordan
<03383>; but ye shall pass <05674> before <
06440> your brethren
<0251> armed <02571>, all <03605> the mighty
<01368> men of
valour <02428>, and help <05826> them;
15 Until <05704> the LORD <03068> have given your
brethren
<0251> rest <05117>, as [he hath given] you, and they
also
<01571> have possessed <03423> the land <0776>
which <0834> the
LORD <03068> your God <0430> giveth <05414>
them: then ye shall
return <07725> unto the land <0776> of your
possession <03425>,
and enjoy <03423> it, which <0834> Moses <04872>
the LORD'S
<03068> servant <05650> gave <05414> you on
this side <05676>
Jordan <03383> toward the sunrising.
16. And they answered <06030> Joshua <03091>, saying
<0559>,
All <03605> that thou commandest <06680> us we will
do <06213>,
and whithersoever thou sendest <07971> us, we will go <
03212>.
17 According as we hearkened <08085> unto Moses <
04872> in all
<03605> things, so <03651> will we hearken <
08085> unto thee:
only <07535> the LORD <03068> thy God <0430> be
with thee, as he
was with Moses <04872>.
18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel <04784> against thy
commandment <06310>, and will not hearken <08085>
unto thy words
<01697> in all <03605> that thou commandest <
06680> him, he
shall be put to death <04191>: only <07535> be strong
<02388>
and of a good courage <0553>.
Joshua 2
1. And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <
05126> sent
<07971> out of Shittim <07851> two <08147> men
<0582> to spy
<07270> secretly <02791>, saying <0559>, Go <
03212> view <07200>
the land <0776>, even Jericho <03405>. And they went
<03212>,
and came <0935> into an harlot's <02181> house <
01004>, named
<08034> Rahab <07343>, and lodged <07901> there
<08033>.
2 And it was told <0559> the king <04428> of Jericho
<03405>,
saying <0559>, Behold <02009>, there came <0935>
men <0582> in
hither to night <03915> of the children <01121> of
Israel
<03478> to search <02658> out the country <0776>
.
3 And the king <04428> of Jericho <03405> sent <
07971> unto
Rahab <07343>, saying <0559>, Bring <03318>
forth <03318> the
men <0582> that are come <0935> to thee, which <
0834> are
entered <0935> into thine house <01004>: for they be
come <0935>
to search <02658> out all <03605> the country <
0776>.
4 And the woman <0802> took <03947> the two <
08147> men <0582>,
and hid <06845> them, and said <0559> thus <
03651>, There came
<0935> men <0582> unto me, but I wist <03045>
not whence <0370>
they [were]:
5 And it came <01961> to pass [about the time] of shutting
<05462> of the gate <08179>, when it was dark <
02822>, that the
men <0582> went <03318> out: whither <0575> the
men <0582> went
<01980> I wot <03045> not: pursue <07291> after
<0310> them
quickly <04118>; for ye shall overtake <05381> them.
6 But she had brought <05927> them up to the roof <
01406> of
the house, and hid <02934> them with the stalks <
06086> of flax
<06593>, which she had laid in order <06186> upon the
roof
<01406>.
7 And the men <0582> pursued <07291> after <
0310> them the way
<01870> to Jordan <03383> unto the fords <04569>
: and as soon
<0834> as they which <0834> pursued <07291>
after <0310> them
were gone <03318> out, they shut <05462> the gate <
08179>.
8. And before <02962> they were laid <07901> down
<07901>, she
came <05927> up unto them upon the roof <01406>;
9 And she said <0559> unto the men <0582>, I know
<03045> that
the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> you the land <
0776>, and
that your terror <0367> is fallen <05307> upon us,
and that all
<03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land <
0776> faint <04127>
because <06440> of you.
10 For we have heard <08085> how <0834> the LORD <
03068> dried
<03001> up the water <04325> of the Red <05488>
sea <03220> for
you, when ye came <03318> out of Egypt <04714>; and
what <0834>
ye did <06213> unto the two <08147> kings <
04428> of the
Amorites <0567>, that [were] on the other <05676>
side <05676>
Jordan <03383>, Sihon <05511> and Og <05747>,
whom ye utterly
destroyed <02763>.
11 And as soon as we had heard <08085> [these things], our
hearts <03824> did melt <04549>, neither <03808>
did there
remain <06965> any more <05750> courage <07307>
in any man
<0376>, because <06440> of you: for the LORD <
03068> your God
<0430>, he [is] God <0430> in heaven <08064>
above <04605>, and
in earth <0776> beneath <08478>.
12 Now <06258> therefore, I pray <04994> you, swear
<07650>
unto me by the LORD <03068>, since <03588> I have
shewed <06213>
you kindness <02617>, that ye will also <01571> shew
<06213>
kindness <02617> unto my father's <01> house <
01004>, and give
<05414> me a true <0571> token <0226>:
13 And [that] ye will save <02421> alive <02421> my
father <01>,
and my mother <0517>, and my brethren <0251>, and my
sisters
<0269>, and all <03605> that they have, and deliver
<05337> our
lives <05315> from death <04194>.
