Have all the warriors march around the city one time; ¹  do this for six days.

Achan told Joshua, “It is true. I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel in this way: ¹ 

He took five thousand men and set an ambush west of the city between Bethel ¹  and Ai.

Joshua said, “Roll large stones over the mouth of the cave and post guards in front of it. ¹ 

Then Joshua executed them ¹  and hung them on five trees. They were left hanging on the trees until evening.

Joshua and all Israel marched up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.

All these kings gathered and joined forces ¹  at the Waters of Merom to fight Israel.

Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned ¹  their chariots.

Moses assigned land to the tribe of Reuben ¹  by its clans.

Manasseh was allotted ten shares of land, ¹  in addition to the land of Gilead and Bashan east of the Jordan,

They assigned from the tribes of Judah and Simeon the cities listed below.

The rest of the Kohathite clans received ten cities and their grazing areas.

The Gershonite clans received thirteen cities and their grazing areas.

The rest of Manasseh’s descendants were also assigned land ¹  by their clans, including the descendants of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher, and Shemida. These are the male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.

Any man who rebels against what you say and does not obey all your commands will be executed. ¹  But ²  be strong and brave!”

That day the Lord brought honor to Joshua before all Israel. They respected ¹  him all his life, ²  just as they had respected ³  Moses.
