This is the land that remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all the Geshurites,

Their territory started at Mahanaim and encompassed all Bashan, the whole realm of King Og of Bashan, including all sixty cities in Havvoth Jair in Bashan.

So Joshua and his whole army, including the bravest warriors, marched up from Gilgal.

Their territory also included Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah –

They captured it and put the sword to its king, all its surrounding cities, and all who lived in it; they left no survivors. As they had done at Eglon, they annihilated it and all who lived there.

“Look, today I am about to die. You know with all your heart and being that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized – not one promise is unfulfilled!

They told Joshua, “We will do everything you say. We will go wherever you send us.

Any man who rebels against what you say and does not obey all your commands will be executed. But be strong and brave!”

They told Joshua, “Surely the Lord is handing over all the land to us! All who live in the land are cringing before us!”

That day the Lord brought honor to Joshua before all Israel. They respected him all his life, just as they had respected Moses.

He has done this so all the nations of the earth might recognize the Lord’s power and so you might always obey the Lord your God.”

This is why Joshua had to circumcise them: All the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt died on the journey through the desert after they left Egypt.

Now all the men who left were circumcised, but all the sons born on the journey through the desert after they left Egypt were uncircumcised.

Twelve thousand men and women died that day, including all the men of Ai.

Then Joshua read aloud all the words of the law, including the blessings and the curses, just as they are written in the law scroll.

but all the leaders told the whole community, “We swore an oath to them in the name of the Lord God of Israel. So now we can’t hurt them!

That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they annihilated it just as they had done to Lachish.

They annihilated everyone who lived there with the sword – no one who breathed remained – and burned Hazor.

Not one of the Lord’s faithful promises to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; every one was realized.

and told them: “You have carried out all the instructions of Moses the Lord’s servant, and you have obeyed all I have told you.
