001:001 <td>Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came
        to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,
        Moses' minister, saying, <tr><td valign=top>

001:002<td>Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this
        Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do
        give to them, even to the children of Israel. <tr><td valign=top>

001:003<td>Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that
        have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. <tr><td valign=top>

001:004<td>From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great
        river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and
        unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be
        your coast. <tr><td valign=top>

001:005<td>There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
        days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee:
        I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. <tr><td valign=top>

001:006<td>Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt
        thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto
        their fathers to give them. <tr><td valign=top>

001:007<td>Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
        observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
        commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the
        left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest. <tr><td valign=top>

001:008<td>This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
        thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
        observe to do according to all that is written therein: for
        then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
        have good success. <tr><td valign=top>

001:009<td>Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be
        not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is
        with thee whithersoever thou goest. <tr><td valign=top>

001:010<td>Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, <tr><td valign=top>

001:011<td>Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare
        you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this
        Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God
        giveth you to possess it. <tr><td valign=top>

001:012<td>And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the
        tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying, <tr><td valign=top>

001:013<td>Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD
        commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest,
        and hath given you this land. <tr><td valign=top>

001:014<td>Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in
        the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye
        shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of
        valour, and help them; <tr><td valign=top>

001:015<td>Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given
        you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your
        God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your
        possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave
        you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. <tr><td valign=top>

001:016<td>And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us
        we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go. <tr><td valign=top>

001:017<td>According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we
        hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he
        was with Moses. <tr><td valign=top>

001:018<td>Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and
        will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest
        him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good
        courage. <tr><td valign=top>

</table><hr><table><td valign=top>002:001 <td>And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy
        secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they
        went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged
        there. <tr><td valign=top>

002:002<td>And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there
        came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to
        search out the country. <tr><td valign=top>

002:003<td>And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth
        the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine
        house: for they be come to search out all the country. <tr><td valign=top>

002:004<td>And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus,
        There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were: <tr><td valign=top>

002:005<td>And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate,
        when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went
        I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake
        them. <tr><td valign=top>

002:006<td>But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid
        them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon
        the roof. <tr><td valign=top>

002:007<td>And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the
        fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone
        out, they shut the gate. <tr><td valign=top>

002:008<td>And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the
        roof; <tr><td valign=top>

002:009<td>And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you
        the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all
        the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. <tr><td valign=top>

002:010<td>For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red
        sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto
        the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side
        Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. <tr><td valign=top>

002:011<td>And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt,
        neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because
        of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and
        in earth beneath. <tr><td valign=top>

002:012<td>Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I
        have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto
        my father's house, and give me a true token: <tr><td valign=top>

002:013<td>And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my
        brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver
        our lives from death. <tr><td valign=top>

002:014<td>And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not
        this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given
        us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee. <tr><td valign=top>

002:015<td>Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her
        house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. <tr><td valign=top>

002:016<td>And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the
        pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until
        the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way. <tr><td valign=top>

002:017<td>And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine
        oath which thou hast made us swear. <tr><td valign=top>

002:018<td>Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line
        of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down
        by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy
        brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee. <tr><td valign=top>

002:019<td>And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of
        thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head,
        and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in
        the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon
        him. <tr><td valign=top>

002:020<td>And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of
        thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. <tr><td valign=top>

002:021<td>And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she
        sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet
        line in the window. <tr><td valign=top>

002:022<td>And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there
        three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers
        sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. <tr><td valign=top>

002:023<td>So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and
        passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him
        all things that befell them: <tr><td valign=top>

002:024<td>And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into
        our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the
        country do faint because of us. <tr><td valign=top>

</table><hr><table><td valign=top>003:001 <td>And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from
        Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of
        Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. <tr><td valign=top>

003:002<td>And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went
        through the host; <tr><td valign=top>

003:003<td>And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of
        the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites
        bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after
        it. <tr><td valign=top>

003:004<td>Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
        thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may
        know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this
        way heretofore. <tr><td valign=top>

003:005<td>And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to
        morrow the LORD will do wonders among you. <tr><td valign=top>

003:006<td>And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of
        the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took
        up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. <tr><td valign=top>

003:007<td>And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to
        magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know
        that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. <tr><td valign=top>

003:008<td>And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the
        covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water
        of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. <tr><td valign=top>

003:009<td>And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and
        hear the words of the LORD your God. <tr><td valign=top>

003:010<td>And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is
        among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before
        you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the
        Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
        Jebusites. <tr><td valign=top>

003:011<td>Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth
        passeth over before you into Jordan. <tr><td valign=top>

003:012<td>Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel,
        out of every tribe a man. <tr><td valign=top>

003:013<td>And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of
        the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the
        earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of
        Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from
        above; and they shall stand upon an heap. <tr><td valign=top>

003:014<td>And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents,
        to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the
        covenant before the people; <tr><td valign=top>

003:015<td>And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the
        feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim
        of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the
        time of harvest,) <tr><td valign=top>

003:016<td>That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up
        upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside
        Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain,
        even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people
        passed over right against Jericho. <tr><td valign=top>

003:017<td>And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD
        stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the
        Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people
        were passed clean over Jordan. <tr><td valign=top>

        man, <tr><td valign=top>

004:003<td>And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst
        of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood
        firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you,
        and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this
        night. <tr><td valign=top>

004:004<td>Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the
        children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: <tr><td valign=top>

004:005<td>And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the
        LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every
        man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the
        number of the tribes of the children of Israel: <tr><td valign=top>

004:006<td>That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask
        their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these
        stones? <tr><td valign=top>

004:007<td>Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut
        off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed
        over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these
        stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for
        ever. <tr><td valign=top>

004:008<td>And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and
        took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD
        spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of
        the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto
        the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. <tr><td valign=top>

004:009<td>And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the
        place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the
        covenant stood: and they are there unto this day. <tr><td valign=top>

004:010<td>For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of
        Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded
        Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses
        commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over. <tr><td valign=top>

004:011<td>And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
        over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests,
        in the presence of the people. <tr><td valign=top>

004:012<td>And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half
        the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children
        of Israel, as Moses spake unto them: <tr><td valign=top>

004:013<td>About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the
        LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. <tr><td valign=top>

004:014<td>On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all
        Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the
        days of his life. <tr><td valign=top>

004:015<td>And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, <tr><td valign=top>

004:016<td>Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that
        they come up out of Jordan. <tr><td valign=top>

004:017<td>Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out
        of Jordan. <tr><td valign=top>

004:018<td>And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the
        covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan,
        and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry
        land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and
        flowed over all his banks, as they did before. <tr><td valign=top>

004:019<td>And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the
        first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of
        Jericho. <tr><td valign=top>

004:020<td>And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did
        Joshua pitch in Gilgal. <tr><td valign=top>

004:021<td>And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your
        children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What
        mean these stones? <tr><td valign=top>

004:022<td>Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over
        this Jordan on dry land. <tr><td valign=top>

004:023<td>For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from
        before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God
        did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we
        were gone over: <tr><td valign=top>

004:024<td>That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the
        LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God
        for ever. <tr><td valign=top>

</table><hr><table><td valign=top>005:001 <td>And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which
        were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the
        Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had
        dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of
        Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted,
        neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the
        children of Israel. <tr><td valign=top>

005:002<td>At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp
        knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second
        time. <tr><td valign=top>

005:003<td>And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children
        of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. <tr><td valign=top>

005:004<td>And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the
        people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the
        men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came
        out of Egypt. <tr><td valign=top>

005:005<td>Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the
        people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they
        came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. <tr><td valign=top>

005:006<td>For the children of Israel walked forty years in the
        wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which
        came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the
        voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not
        shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers
        that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and
        honey. <tr><td valign=top>

005:007<td>And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them
        Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they
        had not circumcised them by the way. <tr><td valign=top>

005:008<td>And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the
        people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they
        were whole. <tr><td valign=top>

005:009<td>And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the
        reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the
        place is called Gilgal unto this day. <tr><td valign=top>

005:010<td>And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the
        passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the
        plains of Jericho. <tr><td valign=top>

005:011<td>And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow
        after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the
        selfsame day. <tr><td valign=top>

005:012<td>And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the
        old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna
        any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan
        that year. <tr><td valign=top>

005:013<td>And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he
        lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man
        over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua
        went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our
        adversaries? <tr><td valign=top>

005:014<td>And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I
        now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did
        worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his
        servant? <tr><td valign=top>

005:015<td>And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy
        shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is
        holy. And Joshua did so. <tr><td valign=top>

        hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of
        valour. <tr><td valign=top>

        rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city
        seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. <tr><td valign=top>

        with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the
        trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and
        the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people
        shall ascend up every man straight before him. <tr><td valign=top>

006:006<td>And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto
