JO-1:1 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,
JO-1:2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over
this Jordan,
thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them,
[even] to
the children of Israel.
JO-1:3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon,
that have I
given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
JO-1:4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great
river, the
river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great
sea toward
the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
JO-1:5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all
the days of
thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will
not fail thee,
nor forsake thee.
JO-1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people
shalt thou
divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their
fathers to give
them.
JO-1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
observe to
do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded
thee: turn not
from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou mayest
prosper
whithersoever thou goest.
JO-1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
according to
all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
prosperous, and
then thou shalt have good success.
JO-1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good
courage; be not
afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with
thee
whithersoever thou goest.
JO-1:10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
JO-1:11 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.
JO-1:12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half
the tribe of
Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
JO-1:13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD
commanded you,
saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you
this land.
JO-1:14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall
remain in the
land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass
before your
brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
JO-1:15 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.
JO-1:16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou
commandest us we will
do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
JO-1:17 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.
JO-1:18 Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel against thy
commandment, and will
not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he
shall be put to
death: only be strong and of a good courage.
JO-2:1 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, named Rahab, and lodged there.
JO-2:2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold,
there came men in
hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the
country.
JO-2:3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring
forth the men
that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for
they be come to
search out all the country.
JO-2:4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said
thus, There
came men unto me, but I wist not whence they [were]:
JO-2:5 And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of the
gate, when it
was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not:
pursue after
them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
JO-2:6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and
hid them
with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the
roof.
JO-2:7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the
fords: and
as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut
the gate.
JO-2:8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them
upon the roof;
JO-2:9 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath
given you the
land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the
inhabitants of
the land faint because of you.
JO-2:10 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.
JO-2:11 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.
JO-2:12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD,
since I have
showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my
father's house,
and give me a true token:
JO-2:13 And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother,
and my
brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our
lives from
death.
JO-2:14 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.
JO-2:15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for
her house
[was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
JO-2:16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest
the pursuers
meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the
pursuers be
returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
JO-2:17 And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of
this thine oath
which thou hast made us swear.
JO-2:18 Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind
this line of
scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and
thou shalt
bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy
father's
household, home unto thee.
JO-2:19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go out of the
doors of thy
house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we
[will be]
guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his
blood [shall be]
on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.
JO-2:20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be
quit of thine
oath which thou hast made us to swear.
JO-2:21 And she said, According unto your words, so [be] it. And
she sent
them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in
the window.
JO-2:22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode
there three
days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought
[them]
throughout all the way, but found [them] not.
JO-2:23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain,
and passed
over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all
[things] that befell
them:
JO-2:24 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.
JO-3:1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed
from Shittim,
and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged
there before
they passed over.
JO-3:2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers
went through
the host;
JO-3:3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the
ark of the
covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites
bearing it, then ye
shall remove from your place, and go after it.
JO-3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
thousand
cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the
way by which ye
must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore.
JO-3:5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for
tomorrow the
LORD will do wonders among you.
JO-3:6 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.
JO-3:7 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.
JO-3:8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of
the covenant,
saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye
shall stand
still in Jordan.
JO-3:9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither,
and hear the
words of the LORD your God.
JO-3:10 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.
JO-3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the
earth passeth
over before you into Jordan.
JO-3:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of
Israel, out of
every tribe a man.
JO-3:13 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.
JO-3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their
tents, to
pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant
before the
people;
JO-3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and
the feet of
the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the
water, (for
Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
JO-3:16 That the waters which came down from above stood [and]
rose up upon
an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan:
and those that
came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea,
failed, [and] were
cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
JO-3:17 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.
JO-4:1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean
passed over
Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
JO-4:2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe
a man,
JO-4:3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the
midst of
Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm,
twelve stones,
and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the
lodging place,
where ye shall lodge this night.
JO-4:4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared
of the
children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
JO-4:5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of
the LORD your
God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a
stone upon
his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the
children of
Israel:
JO-4:6 That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your
children ask
[their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these
stones?
JO-4:7 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.
JO-4:8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded,
and took up
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.
JO-4:9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan,
in the place
where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant
stood: and
they are there unto this day.
JO-4:10 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.
JO-4:11 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.
JO-4:12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and
half the
tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of
Israel, as Moses
spake unto them:
JO-4:13 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before
the LORD
unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
JO-4:14 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.
JO-4:15 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
JO-4:16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony,
that they
come up out of Jordan.
JO-4:17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye
up out of
Jordan.
JO-4:18 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.
JO-4:19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day]
of the first
month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
JO-4:20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan,
did Joshua
pitch in Gilgal.
JO-4:21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When
your children
shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean]
these stones?
JO-4:22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel
came over this
Jordan on dry land.
JO-4:23 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:
JO-4:24 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.
JO-5:1 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.
JO-5:2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp
knives, and
circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
JO-5:3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the
children of
Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
JO-5:4 And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All
the people that
came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war,
died in the
wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
JO-5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but
all the people
[that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth
out of Egypt,
[them] they had not circumcised.
JO-5:6 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 show them the land, which the LORD sware unto their
fathers that
he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
