But they burned the city and all that was in it, except for the silver, gold, and bronze and iron items they put in the treasury of the Lord’s house.

They took it all from the middle of the tent, brought it to Joshua and all the Israelites, and placed it before the Lord.

When you capture the city, set it on fire. Do as the Lord says! See, I have given you orders.”

But Israel did plunder the cattle and the goods of the city, in accordance with the Lord’s orders to Joshua.

They told him, “Your subjects have come from a very distant land because of the reputation of the Lord your God, for we have heard the news about all he did in Egypt

and that day made them woodcutters and water carriers for the community and for the altar of the Lord at the divinely chosen site. (They continue in that capacity to this very day.)

The Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for I am handing them over to you. Not one of them can resist you.”

The Lord routed them before Israel. Israel thoroughly defeated them at Gibeon. They chased them up the road to the pass of Beth Horon and struck them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah.

But don’t you delay! Chase your enemies and catch them! Don’t allow them to retreat to their cities, for the Lord your God is handing them over to you.”

Joshua captured in one campaign all these kings and their lands, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

When Joshua was very old, the Lord told him, “You are very old, and a great deal of land remains to be conquered.

The other half of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad received their allotted tribal lands beyond the Jordan, just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had assigned them.

However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the sacrificial offerings made to the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed them.

However, Moses did not assign land as an inheritance to the Levites; their inheritance is the Lord God of Israel, as he instructed them.

My countrymen who accompanied me frightened the people, but I remained loyal to the Lord my God.

But as for you, map out the land into seven regions and bring it to me. I will draw lots for you here before the Lord our God.

Joshua drew lots for them in Shiloh before the Lord and divided the land among the Israelites according to their allotted portions.

in Shiloh in the land of Canaan and said, “The Lord told Moses to assign us cities in which to live along with the grazing areas for our cattle.”

So the Israelites assigned these cities and their grazing areas to the Levites from their own holdings, as the Lord had instructed.
