Joshua 1:1--3:17

1:1

Now after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

it came to pass, that the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

minister
<08334> (8764)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

1:2

Moses
<04872>

my servant
<05650>

is dead
<04191> (8804)_;

now therefore arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go over
<05674> (8798)

this Jordan
<03383>_,

thou, and all this people
<05971>_,

unto the land
<0776>

which I do give
<05414> (8802)

to them, [even] to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

1:3

Every place
<04725>

that the sole
<03709>

of your foot
<07272>

shall tread upon
<01869> (8799)_,

that have I given
<05414> (8804)

unto you, as I said
<01696> (8765)

unto Moses
<04872>_.

1:4

From the wilderness
<04057>

and this Lebanon
<03844>

even unto the great
<01419>

river
<05104>_,

the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_,

all the land
<0776>

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and unto the great
<01419>

sea
<03220>

toward the going down
<03996>

of the sun
<08121>_,

shall be your coast
<01366>_.

1:5

There shall not any man
<0376>

be able to stand
<03320> (8691)

before
<06440>

thee all the days
<03117>

of thy life
<02416>_:

as I was with Moses
<04872>_,

[so] I will be with thee: I will not fail
<07503> (8686)

thee, nor forsake
<05800> (8799)

thee.

1:6

Be strong
<02388> (8798)

and of a good courage
<0553> (8798)_:

for unto this people
<05971>

shalt thou divide for an inheritance
<05157> (8686)

the land
<0776>_,

which I sware
<07650> (8738)

unto their fathers
<01>

to give
<05414> (8800)

them. {unto this...: or, thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land, etc}

1:7

Only be thou strong
<02388> (8798)

and very
<03966>

courageous
<0553> (8798)_,

that thou mayest observe
<08104> (8800)

to do
<06213> (8800)

according to all the law
<08451>_,

which Moses
<04872>

my servant
<05650>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee: turn
<05493> (8799)

not from it [to] the right hand
<03225>

or [to] the left
<08040>_,

that thou mayest prosper
<07919> (8686)

whithersoever thou goest
<03212> (8799)_.

{prosper: or, do wisely}

1:8

This book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

shall not depart
<04185> (8799)

out of thy mouth
<06310>_;

but thou shalt meditate
<01897> (8804)

therein day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_,

that thou mayest observe
<08104> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

according to all that is written
<03789> (8803)

therein: for then thou shalt make
<06743> (0)

thy way
<01870>

prosperous
<06743> (8686)_,

and then thou shalt have good success
<07919> (8686)_.

{have...: or, do wisely}

1:9

Have not I commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee? Be strong
<02388> (8798)

and of a good courage
<0553> (8798)_;

be not afraid
<06206> (8799)_,

neither be thou dismayed
<02865> (8735)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

[is] with thee whithersoever thou goest
<03212> (8799)_.

1:10

Then Joshua
<03091>

commanded
<06680> (8762)

the officers
<07860> (8802)

of the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

1:11

Pass
<05674> (8798)

through
<07130>

the host
<04264>_,

and command
<06680> (8761)

the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Prepare
<03559> (8685)

you victuals
<06720>_;

for within three
<07969>

days
<03117>

ye shall pass over
<05674> (8802)

this Jordan
<03383>_,

to go in
<0935> (8800)

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

you to possess
<03423> (8800)

it.

1:12

And to the Reubenites
<07206>_,

and to the Gadites
<01425>_,

and to half
<02677>

the tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

spake
<0559> (8804)

Joshua
<03091>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

1:13

Remember
<02142> (8800)

the word
<01697>

which Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

you, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given you rest
<05117> (8688)_,

and hath given
<05414> (8804)

you this land
<0776>_.

1:14

Your wives
<0802>_,

your little ones
<02945>_,

and your cattle
<04735>_,

shall remain
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

which Moses
<04872>

gave
<05414> (8804)

you on this side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_;

but ye shall pass
<05674> (8799)

before
<06440>

your brethren
<0251>

armed
<02571>_,

all the mighty
<01368>

men of valour
<02428>_,

and help
<05826> (8804)

them; {armed: Heb. marshalled by five}

1:15

Until the LORD
<03068>

have given
<05117> (0)

your brethren
<0251>

rest
<05117> (8686)_,

as [he hath given] you, and they also have possessed
<03423> (8804)

the land
<0776>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

giveth
<05414> (8802)

them: then ye shall return
<07725> (8804)

unto the land
<0776>

of your possession
<03425>_,

and enjoy
<03423> (8804)

it, which Moses
<04872>

the LORD'S
<03068>

servant
<05650>

gave
<05414> (8804)

you on this side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>

toward the sunrising
<04217> <08121>_.

1:16

And they answered
<06030> (8799)

Joshua
<03091>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

All that thou commandest
<06680> (8765)

us we will do
<06213> (8799)_,

and whithersoever
<0834>

thou sendest
<07971> (8799)

us, we will go
<03212> (8799)_.

1:17

According as we hearkened
<08085> (8804)

unto Moses
<04872>

in all things, so will we hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto thee: only the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

be with thee, as he was with Moses
<04872>_.

1:18

Whosoever
<0376>

[he be] that doth rebel
<04784> (8686)

against thy commandment
<06310>_,

and will not hearken
<08085> (8799)

unto thy words
<01697>

in all that thou commandest
<06680> (8762)

him, he shall be put to death
<04191> (8714)_:

only be strong
<02388> (8798)

and of a good courage
<0553> (8798)_.

2:1

And Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>

sent
<07971> (8799)

out of Shittim
<07851>

two
<08147>

men
<0582>

to spy
<07270> (8764)

secretly
<02791>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

view
<07200> (8798)

the land
<0776>_,

even Jericho
<03405>_.

And they went
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into an harlot's
<02181> (8802)

house
<0802> <01004>_,

named
<08034>

Rahab
<07343>_,

and lodged
<07901> (8799)

there. {sent: or, had sent} {lodged: Heb. lay}

2:2

And it was told
<0559> (8735)

the king
<04428>

of Jericho
<03405>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

men
<0582>

in hither to night
<03915>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

to search out
<02658> (8800)

the country
<0776>_.

2:3

And the king
<04428>

of Jericho
<03405>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto Rahab
<07343>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

the men
<0582>

that are come
<0935> (8802)

to thee, which are entered
<0935> (8804)

into thine house
<01004>_:

for they be come
<0935> (8804)

to search out
<02658> (8800)

all the country
<0776>_.

2:4

And the woman
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

the two
<08147>

men
<0582>_,

and hid
<06845> (8799)

them, and said
<0559> (8799)

thus, There came
<0935> (8804)

men
<0582>

unto me, but I wist
<03045> (8804)

not whence
<0370>

they [were]:

2:5

And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting
<05462> (8800)

of the gate
<08179>_,

when it was dark
<02822>_,

that the men
<0582>

went out
<03318> (8804)_:

whither the men
<0582>

went
<01980> (8804)

I wot
<03045> (8804)

not: pursue
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

them quickly
<04118>_;

for ye shall overtake
<05381> (8686)

them.

2:6

But she had brought them up
<05927> (8689)

to the roof
<01406>

of the house, and hid
<02934> (8799)

them with the stalks
<06086>

of flax
<06593>_,

which she had laid in order
<06186> (8803)

upon the roof
<01406>_.

2:7

And the men
<0582>

pursued
<07291> (8804)

after
<0310>

them the way
<01870>

to Jordan
<03383>

unto the fords
<04569>_:

and as soon as they which pursued
<07291> (8802)

after
<0310>

them were gone out
<03318> (8804)_,

they shut
<05462> (8804)

the gate
<08179>_.

2:8

And before they were laid down
<07901> (8799)_,

she came up
<05927> (8804)

unto them upon the roof
<01406>_;

2:9

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you the land
<0776>_,

and that your terror
<0367>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon us, and that all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

faint
<04127> (8738)

because
<06440>

of you. {faint: Heb. melt}

2:10

For we have heard
<08085> (8804)

how the LORD
<03068>

dried up
<03001> (8689)

the water
<04325>

of the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>

for you
<06440>_,

when ye came out
<03318> (8800)

of Egypt
<04714>_;

and what ye did
<06213> (8804)

unto the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

that [were] on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

Sihon
<05511>

and Og
<05747>_,

whom ye utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_.

2:11

And as soon as we had heard
<08085> (8799)

[these things], our hearts
<03824>

did melt
<04549> (8735)_,

neither did there remain
<06965> (8804)

any more 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. {did there...: Heb. rose up}

2:12

Now therefore, I pray you, swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me by the LORD
<03068>_,

since
<03588>

I have shewed
<06213> (8804)

you kindness
<02617>_,

that ye will also shew
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

unto my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

me a true
<0571>

token
<0226>_:

2:13

And [that] ye will save alive
<02421> (8689)

my father
<01>_,

and my mother
<0517>_,

and my brethren
<0251>_,

and my sisters
<0269>_,

and all that they have, and deliver
<05337> (8689)

our lives
<05315>

from death
<04194>_.

2:14

And the men
<0582>

answered
<0559> (8799)

her, Our life
<05315>

for yours
<04191> (8800)_,

if ye utter
<05046> (8686)

not this our business
<01697>_.

And it shall be, when the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8800)

us the land
<0776>_,

that we will deal
<06213> (8804)

kindly
<02617>

and truly
<0571>

with thee. {for...: Heb. instead of you to die}

2:15

Then she let them down
<03381> (8686)

by a cord
<02256>

through
<01157>

the window
<02474>_:

for her house
<01004>

[was] upon the town
<07023>

wall
<02346>_,

and she dwelt
<03427> (8802)

upon the wall
<02346>_.

2:16

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Get
<03212> (8798)

you to the mountain
<02022>_,

lest the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

meet
<06293> (8799)

you; and hide
<02247> (8738)

yourselves there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

until the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

be returned
<07725> (8800)_:

and afterward
<0310>

may ye go
<03212> (8799)

your way
<01870>_.

2:17

And the men
<0582>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, We [will be] blameless
<05355>

of this thine oath
<07621>

which thou hast made us swear
<07650> (8689)_.

2:18

Behold, [when] we come
<0935> (8802)

into the land
<0776>_,

thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)

this line
<08615>

of scarlet
<08144>

thread
<02339>

in the window
<02474>

which thou didst let us down by
<03381> (8689)_:

and thou shalt bring
<0622> (8799)

thy father
<01>_,

and thy mother
<0517>_,

and thy brethren
<0251>_,

and all thy father's
<01>

household
<01004>_,

home
<01004>

unto thee. {bring: Heb. gather}

2:19

And it shall be, [that] whosoever
<0834>

shall go out
<03318> (8799)

of the doors
<01817>

of thy house
<01004>

into the street
<02351>_,

his blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon his head
<07218>_,

and we [will be] guiltless
<05355>_:

and whosoever shall be with thee in the house
<01004>_,

his blood
<01818>

[shall be] on our head
<07218>_,

if [any] hand
<03027>

be upon him.

2:20

And if thou utter
<05046> (8686)

this our business
<01697>_,

then we will be quit
<05355>

of thine oath
<07621>

which thou hast made us to swear
<07650> (8689)_.

2:21

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

According unto your words
<01697>_,

so [be] it. And she sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they departed
<03212> (8799)_:

and she bound
<07194> (8799)

the scarlet
<08144>

line
<08615>

in the window
<02474>_.

2:22

And they went
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto the mountain
<02022>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

until the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

were returned
<07725> (8804)_:

and the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

sought
<01245> (8762)

[them] throughout all the way
<01870>_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not.

2:23

So the two
<08147>

men
<0582>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and descended
<03381> (8799)

from the mountain
<02022>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

and told
<05608> (8762)

him all [things] that befell
<04672> (8802)

them:

2:24

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Truly
<03588>

the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into our hands
<03027>

all the land
<0776>_;

for even all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the country
<0776>

do faint
<04127> (8738)

because
<06440>

of us. {faint: Heb. melt}

3:1

And Joshua
<03091>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_;

and they removed
<05265> (8799)

from Shittim
<07851>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jordan
<03383>_,

he and all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and lodged
<03885> (8799)

there before they passed over
<05674> (8799)_.

3:2

And it came to pass after
<07097>

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

that the officers
<07860> (8802)

went
<05674> (8799)

through
<07130>

the host
<04264>_;

3:3

And they commanded
<06680> (8762)

the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When ye see
<07200> (8800)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>

bearing
<05375> (8802)

it, then ye shall remove
<05265> (8799)

from your place
<04725>_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

it.

3:4

Yet there shall be a space
<07350>

between you and it, about two thousand
<0505>

cubits
<0520>

by measure
<04060>_:

come not near
<07126> (8799)

unto it, that ye may know
<03045> (8799)

the way
<01870>

by which ye must go
<03212> (8799)_:

for ye have not passed
<05674> (8804)

[this] way
<01870>

heretofore
<08543> <08032>_.

{heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}

3:5

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves: for to morrow
<04279>

the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

wonders
<06381> (8737)

among
<07130>

you.

3:6

And Joshua
<03091>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto the priests
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take up
<05375> (8798)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

and pass over
<05674> (8798)

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_.

And they took up
<05375> (8799)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_.

3:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

This day
<03117>

will I begin
<02490> (8686)

to magnify
<01431> (8763)

thee in the sight
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>_,

that they may know
<03045> (8799)

that, as I was with Moses
<04872>_,

[so] I will be with thee.

3:8

And thou shalt command
<06680> (8762)

the priests
<03548>

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When ye are come
<0935> (8800)

to the brink
<07097>

of the water
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

ye shall stand still
<05975> (8799)

in Jordan
<03383>_.

3:9

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Come hither
<05066> (8798)_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

3:10

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hereby ye shall know
<03045> (8799)

that the living
<02416>

God
<0410>

[is] among
<07130>

you, and [that] he will without fail
<03423> (8687)

drive out
<03423> (8686)

from before
<06440>

you the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_.

3:11

Behold, the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the Lord
<0113>

of all the earth
<0776>

passeth over
<05674> (8802)

before
<06440>

you into Jordan
<03383>_.

3:12

Now therefore take
<03947> (8798)

you twelve
<08147> <06240>

men
<0376>

out of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

out of every
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

a man
<0376>_.

3:13

And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles
<03709>

of the feet
<07272>

of the priests
<03548>

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the Lord
<0113>

of all the earth
<0776>_,

shall rest
<05117> (8800)

in the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

[that] the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)

[from] the waters
<04325>

that come down
<03381> (8802)

from above
<04605>_;

and they shall stand
<05975> (8799)

upon an
<0259>

heap
<05067>_.

3:14

And it came to pass, when the people
<05971>

removed
<05265> (8800)

from their tents
<0168>_,

to pass over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and the priests
<03548>

bearing
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_;

3:15

And as they that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

were come
<0935> (8800)

unto Jordan
<03383>_,

and the feet
<07272>

of the priests
<03548>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

were dipped
<02881> (8738)

in the brim
<07097>

of the water
<04325>_,

(for Jordan
<03383>

overfloweth
<04390> (8804)

all his banks
<01415>

all the time
<03117>

of harvest
<07105>,)

3:16

That the waters
<04325>

which came down
<03381> (8802)

from above
<04605>

stood
<05975> (8799)

[and] rose up
<06965> (8804)

upon an
<0259>

heap
<05067>

very
<03966>

far
<07368> (8687)

from the city
<05892>

Adam
<0121>_,

that [is] beside
<06654>

Zaretan
<06891>_:

and those that came down
<03381> (8802)

toward the sea
<03220>

of the plain
<06160>_,

[even] the salt
<04417>

sea
<03220>_,

failed
<08552> (8804)_,

[and] were cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

and the people
<05971>

passed over
<05674> (8804)

right against Jericho
<03405>_.

3:17

And the priests
<03548>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

stood
<05975> (8799)

firm
<03559> (8687)

on dry ground
<02724>

in the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

and all the Israelites
<03478>

passed over
<05674> (8802)

on dry ground
<02724>_,

until all the people
<01471>

were passed
<05674> (0)

clean
<08552> (8804)

over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_.
