<t /><p class="bodytext">At that time the <sc>Lordsc> told Joshua, &#8220;Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites once again.&#8221;<n id="1" />

The manna stopped appearing the day they ate<n id="1" /> some of the produce of the land; the Israelites never ate manna again.<n id="2" />p>

But Israel did plunder the cattle and the goods of the city, in accordance with the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s orders to Joshua.<n id="1" />

At that time Joshua made this solemn declaration:<n id="1" /> &#8220;The man who attempts to rebuild<n id="2" /> this city of Jericho<n id="3" /> will stand condemned before the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="4" /> He will lose his firstborn son when he lays its foundations and his youngest son when he erects its gates!&#8221;<n id="5" />

<p class="bodytext">At that time Joshua turned, captured Hazor,<n id="1" /> and struck down its king with the sword, for Hazor was at that time<n id="2" /> the leader of all these kingdoms.

<p class="bodytext">At that time Joshua attacked and eliminated the Anakites from the hill country<n id="1" /> &#8211; from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel.<n id="2" /> Joshua annihilated them and their cities.

The one who committed manslaughter<n id="1" /> should escape to one of these cities, stand at the entrance of the city gate, and present his case to the leaders of that city.<n id="2" /> They should then bring him into the city, give him a place to stay, and let him live there.<n id="3" />

He must remain<n id="1" /> in that city until his case is decided by the assembly<n id="2" /> and the high priest dies.<n id="3" /> Then the one who committed manslaughter may return home to the city from which he escaped.&#8221;<n id="4" />p>
