Joshua 1
1. Now after <0310> the death <4194> of Moses <
4872> the
servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> it came <1961>
to pass, that
the LORD <3068> spake <0559> unto Joshua <3091>
the son <1121>
of Nun <5126>, Moses <4872>' minister <8334>,
saying <0559>,
2 Moses <4872> my servant <5650> is dead <4191>
; now <6258>
therefore arise <6965>, go <5674> over <5674>
this Jordan <3383>,
thou, and all <3605> this <2088> people <5971>,
unto the land
<0776> which <0834> I do give <5414> to them,
[even] to the
children <1121> of Israel <3478>.
3 Every <3605> place <4725> that the sole <
3709> of your foot
<7272> shall tread <1869> upon, that have I given <
5414> unto
you, as I said <1696> unto Moses <4872>.
4 From the wilderness <4057> and this <2088> Lebanon
<3844>
even unto the great <1419> river <5104>, the river
<5104>
Euphrates <6578>, all <3605> the land <0776> of
the Hittites
<2850>, and unto the great <1419> sea <3220>
toward the going
<3996> down <3996> of the sun <8121>, shall be
your coast <1366>.
5 There shall not any man <0376> be able <3320> to
stand <3320>
before <6440> thee all <3605> the days <3117>
of thy life <2416>:
as I was with Moses <4872>, [so] I will be with thee: I
will
not fail <7503> thee, nor <3808> forsake <5800>
thee.
6 Be strong <2388> and of a good courage <0553>: for
unto this
<2088> people <5971> shalt thou divide for an
inheritance <5157>
the land <0776>, which <0834> I sware <7650>
unto their fathers
<1> to give <5414> them.
7 Only <7535> be thou strong <2388> and very <
3966> courageous
<0553>, that thou mayest observe <8104> to do <
6213> according
to all <3605> the law <8451>, which <0834>
Moses <4872> my
servant <5650> commanded <6680> thee: turn <
5493> not from it
[to] the right <3225> hand <3225> or [to] the left
<8040>, that
thou mayest prosper <7919> whithersoever thou goest <
3212>.
8 This <2088> book <5612> of the law <8451>
shall not depart
<4185> out of thy mouth <6310>; but thou shalt
meditate <1897>
therein day <3119> and night <3915>, that thou mayest
observe
<8104> to do <6213> according to all <3605>
that is written
<3789> therein: for then <0227> thou shalt make thy
way <1870>
prosperous <6743>, and then <0227> thou shalt have
good success
<7919>.
9 Have not I commanded <6680> thee? Be strong <2388>
and of a
good courage <0553>; be not afraid <6206>, neither
<0408> be
thou dismayed <2865>: for the LORD <3068> thy God <
0430> [is]
with thee whithersoever thou goest <3212>.
10. Then Joshua <3091> commanded <6680> the officers
<7860> of
the people <5971>, saying <0559>,
11 Pass <5674> through <7130> the host <4264>,
and command
<6680> the people <5971>, saying <0559>,
Prepare <3559> you
victuals <6720>; for within <5750> three <7969>
days <3117> ye
shall pass <5674> over <5674> this <2088>
Jordan <3383>, to go
<0935> in to possess <3423> the land <0776>,
which <0834> the
LORD <3068> your God <0430> giveth <5414> you
to possess <3423>
it.
12 And to the Reubenites <7206>, and to the Gadites <
1425>, and
to half <2677> the tribe <7626> of Manasseh <
4519>, spake <0559>
Joshua <3091>, saying <0559>,
13 Remember <2142> the word <1697> which <0834>
Moses <4872>
the servant <5650> of the LORD <3068> commanded <
6680> you,
saying <0559>, The LORD <3068> your God <0430>
hath given you
rest <5117>, and hath given <5414> you this <
2063> land <0776>.
14 Your wives <0802>, your little <2945> ones, and
your cattle
<4735>, shall remain <3427> in the land <0776>
which <0834>
Moses <4872> gave <5414> you on this side <5676>
Jordan <3383>;
but ye shall pass <5674> before <6440> your brethren
<0251>
armed <2571>, all <3605> the mighty <1368> men
of valour <2428>,
and help <5826> them;
15 Until <5704> the LORD <3068> have given your
brethren <0251>
rest <5117>, as [he hath given] you, and they also <
1571> have
possessed <3423> the land <0776> which <0834>
the LORD <3068>
your God <0430> giveth <5414> them: then ye shall
return <7725>
unto the land <0776> of your possession <3425>, and
enjoy <3423>
it, which <0834> Moses <4872> the LORD'S <3068>
servant <5650>
gave <5414> you on this side <5676> Jordan <
3383> toward the
sunrising.
16. And they answered <6030> Joshua <3091>, saying
<0559>, All
<3605> that thou commandest <6680> us we will do <
6213>, and
whithersoever thou sendest <7971> us, we will go <
3212>.
17 According as we hearkened <8085> unto Moses <4872>
in all
<3605> things, so <3651> will we hearken <8085>
unto thee: only
<7535> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430> be with
thee, as he was
with Moses <4872>.
18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel <4784> against thy
commandment <6310>, and will not hearken <8085> unto
thy words
<1697> in all <3605> that thou commandest <6680>
him, he shall
be put to death <4191>: only <7535> be strong <
2388> and of a
good courage <0553>.
Joshua 2
1. And Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <
5126> sent <7971>
out of Shittim <7851> two <8147> men <0582> to
spy <7270>
secretly <2791>, saying <0559>, Go <3212> view
<7200> the land
<0776>, even Jericho <3405>. And they went <
3212>, and came
<0935> into an harlot's <2181> house <1004>,
named <8034> Rahab
<7343>, and lodged <7901> there <8033>.
2 And it was told <0559> the king <4428> of Jericho
<3405>,
saying <0559>, Behold <2009>, there came <0935>
men <0582> in
hither to night <3915> of the children <1121> of
Israel <3478>
to search <2658> out the country <0776>.
3 And the king <4428> of Jericho <3405> sent <
7971> unto Rahab
<7343>, saying <0559>, Bring <3318> forth <
3318> the men <0582>
that are come <0935> to thee, which <0834> are
entered <0935>
into thine house <1004>: for they be come <0935> to
search
<2658> out all <3605> the country <0776>.
4 And the woman <0802> took <3947> the two <
8147> men <0582>,
and hid <6845> them, and said <0559> thus <3651>
, There came
<0935> men <0582> unto me, but I wist <3045>
not whence <0370>
they [were]:
5 And it came <1961> to pass [about the time] of shutting
<5462> of the gate <8179>, when it was dark <
2822>, that the men
<0582> went <3318> out: whither <0575> the men
<0582> went
<1980> I wot <3045> not: pursue <7291> after
<0310> them quickly
<4118>; for ye shall overtake <5381> them.
6 But she had brought <5927> them up to the roof <
1406> of the
house, and hid <2934> them with the stalks <6086> of
flax <6593>,
which she had laid in order <6186> upon the roof <
1406>.
7 And the men <0582> pursued <7291> after <
0310> them the way
<1870> to Jordan <3383> unto the fords <4569>:
and as soon
<0834> as they which <0834> pursued <7291>
after <0310> them
were gone <3318> out, they shut <5462> the gate <
8179>.
8. And before <2962> they were laid <7901> down <
7901>, she
came <5927> up unto them upon the roof <1406>;
9 And she said <0559> unto the men <0582>, I know
<3045> that
the LORD <3068> hath given <5414> you the land <
0776>, and that
your terror <0367> is fallen <5307> upon us, and that
all <3605>
the inhabitants <3427> of the land <0776> faint <
4127> because
<6440> of you.
10 For we have heard <8085> how <0834> the LORD <
3068> dried
<3001> up the water <4325> of the Red <5488>
sea <3220> for you,
when ye came <3318> out of Egypt <4714>; and what <
0834> ye did
<6213> unto the two <8147> kings <4428> of the
Amorites <0567>,
that [were] on the other <5676> side <5676> Jordan
<3383>, Sihon
<5511> and Og <5747>, whom ye utterly destroyed <
2763>.
11 And as soon as we had heard <8085> [these things], our
hearts <3824> did melt <4549>, neither <3808>
did there remain
<6965> any more <5750> courage <7307> in any
man <0376>, because
<6440> of you: for the LORD <3068> your God <
0430>, he [is] God
<0430> in heaven <8064> above <4605>, and in
earth <0776>
beneath <8478>.
12 Now <6258> therefore, I pray <4994> you, swear
<7650> unto
me by the LORD <3068>, since <3588> I have shewed <
6213> you
kindness <2617>, that ye will also <1571> shew <
6213> kindness
<2617> unto my father's <1> house <1004>, and
give <5414> me a
true <0571> token <0226>:
13 And [that] ye will save <2421> alive <2421> my
father <1>,
and my mother <0517>, and my brethren <0251>, and my
sisters
<0269>, and all <3605> that they have, and deliver
<5337> our
lives <5315> from death <4194>.
14 And the men <0582> answered <0559> her, Our life
<5315> for
yours, if <0518> ye utter <5046> not this <2088>
our business
<1697>. And it shall be, when the LORD <3068> hath
given <5414>
us the land <0776>, that we will deal <6213> kindly
<2617> and
truly <0571> with thee.
