to the south;<n id="1" /> all the Canaanite territory,<n id="2" /> from Arah<n id="3" /> in the region of Sidon<n id="4" /> to Aphek, as far as Amorite territory;

Their territory ran<n id="1" /> from Heshbon to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the territory of Debir.

and on to Ebron,<n id="1" /> Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as Greater Sidon.<n id="2" />

When all the men<n id="1" /> had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they had healed.

Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanently uninhabited mound (it remains that way to this very day).<n id="1" />

and all the cities of King Sihon of the Amorites who ruled in Heshbon, and ended at the Ammonite border.

Their territory also included<n id="1" /> Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah &#8211;

<t /><p class="bodytext">The third lot belonged to the tribe of Zebulun<n id="1" /> by its clans. The border of their territory<n id="2" /> extended to Sarid.

But you must be loyal to<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> your God, as you have been<n id="2" /> to this very day.p>

For the <sc>Lordsc> your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you while you crossed over. It was just like when the <sc>Lordsc> your God dried up the Red Sea before us while we crossed it.<n id="1" />

Then they erected over him a large pile of stones (it remains to this very day<n id="1" />) and the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.p>

The <sc>Lordsc> handed them over to Israel and they struck them down and chased them all the way to Greater Sidon,<n id="1" /> Misrephoth Maim,<n id="2" /> and the Mizpah Valley to the east. They struck them down until no survivors remained.

<p class="bodytext">The descendants of Joseph said to Joshua, &#8220;Why have you assigned us only one tribal allotment? After all, we have many people, for until now the <sc>Lordsc> has enabled us to increase in number.&#8221;<n id="1" />

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>

She told them, &#8220;Head<n id="1" /> to the hill country, so the ones chasing you don&#8217;t find you.<n id="2" /> Hide from them there for three days, long enough for those chasing you<n id="3" /> to return. Then you can be on your way.&#8221;

They went<n id="1" /> to the hill country and stayed there for three days, long enough for those chasing them<n id="2" /> to return. Their pursuers<n id="3" /> looked all along the way but did not find them.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Bright and early the next morning Joshua and the Israelites left Shittim and came to the Jordan.<n id="1" /> They camped there before crossing the river.<n id="2" />

Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, &#8216;When you reach the bank of the Jordan River,<n id="1" /> wade into the water.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

The <sc>Lordsc> said to Joshua, &#8220;Today I have taken away<n id="1" /> the disgrace<n id="2" /> of Egypt from you.&#8221; So that place is called Gilgal<n id="3" /> even to this day.p>

They will attack<n id="1" /> us until we have lured them from the city, for they will say, &#8216;They are retreating from us like before.&#8217; We will retreat from them.
