Book 06        Joshua

06:001:001 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,

06:001:002 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.

06:001:003 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that
           have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

06:001:004 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.

06:001:005 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.

06:001:006 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.

06:001:007 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.

06:001:008 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.

06:001:009 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.

06:001:010 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,

06:001:011 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.

06:001:012 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the
           tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,

06:001:013 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.

06:001:014 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;

06:001:015 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.

06:001:016 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us
           we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.

06:001:017 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.

06:001:018 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.

06:002:001 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.

06:002:002 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.

06:002:003 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.

06:002:004 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:

06:002:005 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.

06:002:006 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.

06:002:007 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.

06:002:008 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the
           roof;

06:002:009 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.

06:002:010 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.

06:002:011 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.

06:002:012 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:

06:002:013 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.

06:002:014 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.

06:002:015 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.

06:002:016 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.

06:002:017 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine
           oath which thou hast made us swear.

06:002:018 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.

06:002:019 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.

06:002:020 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of
           thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

06:002:021 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.

06:002:022 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.

06:002:023 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:

06:002:024 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.

06:003:001 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.

06:003:002 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went
           through the host;

06:003:003 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.

06:003:004 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.

06:003:005 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to
           morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

06:003:006 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.

06:003:007 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.

06:003:008 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.

06:003:009 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and
           hear the words of the LORD your God.

06:003:010 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.

06:003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth
           passeth over before you into Jordan.

06:003:012 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel,
           out of every tribe a man.

06:003:013 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.

06:003:014 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;

06:003:015 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,)

06:003:016 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.

06:003:017 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.

06:004:001 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
           over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

06:004:002 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a
           man,

06:004:003 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.

06:004:004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the
           children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

06:004:005 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:

06:004:006 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?

06:004:007 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.

06:004:008 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.

06:004:009 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.

06:004:010 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.

06:004:011 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.

06:004:012 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:

06:004:013 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the
           LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

06:004:014 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.

06:004:015 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

06:004:016 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that
           they come up out of Jordan.

06:004:017 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out
           of Jordan.

06:004:018 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.

06:004:019 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.

06:004:020 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did
           Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

06:004:021 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?

06:004:022 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over
           this Jordan on dry land.

06:004:023 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:

06:004:024 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.

06:005:001 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.

06:005:002 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp
           knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second
           time.

06:005:003 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children
           of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

06:005:004 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.

06:005:005 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.

06:005:006 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.

06:005:007 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.

06:005:008 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.

06:005:009 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.

06:005:010 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.

06:005:011 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.

06:005:012 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.

06:005:013 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?

06:005:014 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?

06:005:015 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.

06:006:001 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of
           Israel: none went out, and none came in.

06:006:002 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine
           hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of
           valour.

06:006:003 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round
           about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

06:006:004 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of
           rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city
           seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

06:006:005 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast
           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.

06:006:006 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto
           them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests
           bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

06:006:007 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city,
           and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

06:006:008 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people,
           that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams'
           horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets:
           and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

06:006:009 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the
           trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests
           going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

06:006:010 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not
           shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any
           word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout;
           then shall ye shout.

06:006:011 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it
           once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

06:006:012 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up
           the ark of the LORD.

06:006:013 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before
           the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the
           trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward
           came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and
           blowing with the trumpets.

06:006:014 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned
           into the camp: so they did six days.

06:006:015 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early
           about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the
           same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the
           city seven times.

06:006:016 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew
           with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the
           LORD hath given you the city.

06:006:017 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are
           therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she
           and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the
           messengers that we sent.

06:006:018 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing,
           lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed
           thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

06:006:019 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,
           are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the
           treasury of the LORD.

06:006:020 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets:
           and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the
           trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the
           wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city,
           every man straight before him, and they took the city.

06:006:021 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man
           and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the
           edge of the sword.

06:006:022 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the
           country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the
           woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

06:006:023 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out
           Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and
           all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and
           left them without the camp of Israel.

06:006:024 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein:
           only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of
           iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

06:006:025 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's
           household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel
           even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which
           Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

06:006:026 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the
           man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city
           Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn,
           and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

06:006:027 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised
           throughout all the country.

06:007:001 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the
           accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi,
           the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed
           thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the
           children of Israel.

06:007:002 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside
           Bethaven, on the east of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying,
           Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

06:007:003 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all
           the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go
           up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour
           thither; for they are but few.

06:007:004 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand
           men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

06:007:005 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for
           they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and
           smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the
           people melted, and became as water.

06:007:006 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his
           face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the
           elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

06:007:007 And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all
           brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand
           of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been
           content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!

06:007:008 O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs
           before their enemies!

06:007:009 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall
           hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name
           from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?

06:007:010 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest
           thou thus upon thy face?

06:007:011 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my
           covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of
           the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also,
           and they have put it even among their own stuff.

06:007:012 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their
           enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because
           they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more,
           except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

06:007:013 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against
           to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an
           accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not
           stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed
           thing from among you.

06:007:014 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your
           tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh
           shall come according to the families thereof; and the family
           which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the
           household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

06:007:015 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing
           shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he
           hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he
           hath wrought folly in Israel.

06:007:016 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by
           their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

06:007:017 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of
           the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by
           man; and Zabdi was taken:

06:007:018 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of
           Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of
           Judah, was taken.

06:007:019 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory
           to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and
           tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

06:007:020 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned
           against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

06:007:021 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and
           two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty
           shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and,
           behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and
           the silver under it.

06:007:022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and,
           behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

06:007:023 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought
           them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and
           laid them out before the LORD.

06:007:024 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of
           Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold,
           and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses,
           and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they
           brought them unto the valley of Achor.

06:007:025 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall
           trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones,
           and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with
           stones.

06:007:026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day.
           So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore
           the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto
           this day.

06:008:001 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou
           dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go
           up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and
           his people, and his city, and his land:

06:008:002 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto
           Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle
           thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an
           ambush for the city behind it.

06:008:003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against
           Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour,
           and sent them away by night.

06:008:004 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait
           against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from
           the city, but be ye all ready:

06:008:005 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto
           the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out
           against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,

06:008:006 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from
           the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the
           first: therefore we will flee before them.

06:008:007 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the
           city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

06:008:008 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall
           set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD
           shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.

06:008:009 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in
           ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of
           Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

06:008:010 And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the
           people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the
           people to Ai.

06:008:011 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him,
           went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched
           on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them
           and Ai.

06:008:012 And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in
           ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

06:008:013 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was
           on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west
           of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the
           valley.

06:008:014 And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they
           hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out
           against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time
           appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were
           liers in ambush against him behind the city.

06:008:015 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before
           them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

06:008:016 And all the people that were in Ai were called together to
           pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were
           drawn away from the city.

06:008:017 And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not
           out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued
           after Israel.

06:008:018 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is
           in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And
           Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward
           the city.

06:008:019 And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran
           as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered
           into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on
           fire.

06:008:020 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and,
           behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they
           had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that
           fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

06:008:021 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken
           the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they
           turned again, and slew the men of Ai.

06:008:022 And the other issued out of the city against them; so they
           were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on
           that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them
           remain or escape.

06:008:023 And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.

06:008:024 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying
           all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness
           wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the
           edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the
           Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the
           sword.

06:008:025 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and
           women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

06:008:026 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out
           the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants
           of Ai.

06:008:027 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a
           prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD
           which he commanded Joshua.

06:008:028 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a
           desolation unto this day.

06:008:029 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as
           soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should
           take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the
           entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great
           heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.

06:008:030 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in
           mount Ebal,

06:008:031 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of
           Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an
           altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any
           iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD,
           and sacrificed peace offerings.

06:008:032 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses,
           which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

06:008:033 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their
           judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the
           priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the
           LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them;
           half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over
           against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had
           commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

06:008:034 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings
           and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of
           the law.

06:008:035 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua
           read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the
           women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were
           conversant among them.

06:009:001 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this
           side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the
           coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and
           the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the
           Jebusite, heard thereof;

06:009:002 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua
           and with Israel, with one accord.

06:009:003 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done
           unto Jericho and to Ai,

06:009:004 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been
           ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine
           bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

06:009:005 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments
           upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and
           mouldy.

06:009:006 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto
           him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country:
           now therefore make ye a league with us.

06:009:007 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye
           dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

06:009:008 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua
           said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

06:009:009 And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants
           are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have
           heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

06:009:010 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that
           were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king
           of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

06:009:011 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country
           spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey,
           and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants:
           therefore now make ye a league with us.

06:009:012 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses
           on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it
           is dry, and it is mouldy:

06:009:013 And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and,
           behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are
           become old by reason of the very long journey.

06:009:014 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at
           the mouth of the LORD.

06:009:015 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them,
           to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware
           unto them.

06:009:016 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had
           made a league with them, that they heard that they were their
           neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.

06:009:017 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their
           cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and
           Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.

06:009:018 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes
           of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of
           Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

06:009:019 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have
           sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we
           may not touch them.

06:009:020 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest
           wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto
           them.

06:009:021 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be
           hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation;
           as the princes had promised them.

06:009:022 And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying,
           Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from
           you; when ye dwell among us?

06:009:023 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be
           freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of
           water for the house of my God.

06:009:024 And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly
           told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his
           servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the
           inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were
           sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this
           thing.

06:009:025 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and
           right unto thee to do unto us, do.

06:009:026 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of
           the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

06:009:027 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of
           water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD,
           even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.

06:010:001 Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had
           heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it;
           as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai
           and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace
           with Israel, and were among them;

06:010:002 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as
           one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai,
           and all the men thereof were mighty.

06:010:003 Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem, sent unto Hoham king
           of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia
           king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,

06:010:004 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it
           hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

06:010:005 Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of
           Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king
           of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together,
           and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before
           Gibeon, and made war against it.

06:010:006 And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal,
           saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
           quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the
           Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together
           against us.

06:010:007 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war
           with him, and all the mighty men of valour.

06:010:008 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have
           delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them
           stand before thee.

06:010:009 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from
           Gilgal all night.

06:010:010 And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them
           with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the
           way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and
           unto Makkedah.

06:010:011 And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were
           in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great
           stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they
           were more which died with hailstones than they whom the
           children of Israel slew with the sword.

06:010:012 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
           delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and
           he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon
           Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

06:010:013 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people
           had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written
           in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of
           heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

06:010:014 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the
           LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought
           for Israel.

06:010:015 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to
           Gilgal.

06:010:016 But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at
           Makkedah.

06:010:017 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid
           in a cave at Makkedah.

06:010:018 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave,
           and set men by it for to keep them:

06:010:019 And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the
           hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities:
           for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

06:010:020 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel
           had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter,
           till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them
           entered into fenced cities.

06:010:021 And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah
           in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of
           Israel.

06:010:022 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out
           those five kings unto me out of the cave.

06:010:023 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him
           out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron,
           the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of
           Eglon.

06:010:024 And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto
           Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said
           unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come
           near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they
           came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

06:010:025 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be
           strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all
           your enemies against whom ye fight.

06:010:026 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged
           them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until
           the evening.

06:010:027 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun,
           that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees,
           and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and
           laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this
           very day.

06:010:028 And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge
           of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them,
           and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and
           he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of
           Jericho.

06:010:029 Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him,
           unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:

06:010:030 And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the
           hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword,
           and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it;
           but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of
           Jericho.

06:010:031 And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto
           Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:

06:010:032 And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which
           took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the
           sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all
           that he had done to Libnah.

06:010:033 Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua
           smote him and his people, until he had left him none
           remaining.

06:010:034 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with
           him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:

06:010:035 And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of
           the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly
           destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to
           Lachish.

06:010:036 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto
           Hebron; and they fought against it:

06:010:037 And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and
           the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the
           souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to
           all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and
           all the souls that were therein.

06:010:038 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and
           fought against it:

06:010:039 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities
           thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and
           utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left
           none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir,
           and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to
           her king.

06:010:040 So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the
           south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their
           kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that
           breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.

06:010:041 And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and
           all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

06:010:042 And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one
           time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.

06:010:043 And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to
           Gilgal.

06:011:001 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those
           things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king
           of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

06:011:002 And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and
           of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in
           the borders of Dor on the west,

06:011:003 And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the
           Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite
           in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land
           of Mizpeh.

06:011:004 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much
           people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in
           multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

06:011:005 And when all these kings were met together, they came and
           pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against
           Israel.

06:011:006 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them:
           for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain
           before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their
           chariots with fire.

06:011:007 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against
           them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.

06:011:008 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote
           them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto
           Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and
           they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

06:011:009 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed
           their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

06:011:010 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote
           the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the
           head of all those kingdoms.

06:011:011 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge
           of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left
           to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

06:011:012 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them,
           did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword,
           and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the
           LORD commanded.

06:011:013 But as for the cities that stood still in their strength,
           Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua
           burn.

06:011:014 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
           children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every
           man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had
           destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.

06:011:015 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command
           Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that
           the LORD commanded Moses.

06:011:016 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south
           country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the
           plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;

06:011:017 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto
           Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all
           their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.

06:011:018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

06:011:019 There was not a city that made peace with the children of
           Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other
           they took in battle.

06:011:020 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they
           should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy
           them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he
           might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.

06:011:021 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the
           mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all
           the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel:
           Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.

06:011:022 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children
           of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there
           remained.

06:011:023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD
           said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto
           Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the
           land rested from war.

06:012:001 Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of
           Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side
           Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto
           mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

06:012:002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled
           from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and
           from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto
           the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of
           Ammon;

06:012:003 And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and
           unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the
           way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:

06:012:004 And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant
           of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

06:012:005 And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan,
           unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and
           half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

06:012:006 Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of
           Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a
           possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half
           tribe of Manasseh.

06:012:007 And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the
           children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from
           Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak,
           that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of
           Israel for a possession according to their divisions;

06:012:008 In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and
           in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south
           country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the
           Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

06:012:009 The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside
           Bethel, one;

06:012:010 The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

06:012:011 The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

06:012:012 The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;

06:012:013 The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;

06:012:014 The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;

06:012:015 The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;

06:012:016 The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;

06:012:017 The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;

06:012:018 The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;

06:012:019 The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;

06:012:020 The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

06:012:021 The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

06:012:022 The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one;

06:012:023 The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the
           nations of Gilgal, one;

06:012:024 The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.

06:013:001 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said
           unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there
           remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.

06:013:002 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the
           Philistines, and all Geshuri,

06:013:003 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of
           Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords
           of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the
           Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the
           Avites:

06:013:004 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
           that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the
           Amorites:

06:013:005 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the
           sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering
           into Hamath.

06:013:006 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto
           Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out
           from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot
           unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded
           thee.

06:013:007 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the
           nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

06:013:008 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their
           inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward,
           even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;

06:013:009 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the
           city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of
           Medeba unto Dibon;

06:013:010 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which
           reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;

06:013:011 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites,
           and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;

06:013:012 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth
           and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for
           these did Moses smite, and cast them out.

06:013:013 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the
           Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the
           Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

06:013:014 Only unto the tribes of Levi he gave none inheritance; the
           sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their
           inheritance, as he said unto them.

06:013:015 And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben
           inheritance according to their families.

06:013:016 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the
           river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river,
           and all the plain by Medeba;

06:013:017 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and
           Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,

06:013:018 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,

06:013:019 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of
           the valley,

06:013:020 And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,

06:013:021 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon
           king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses
           smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and
           Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the
           country.

06:013:022 Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children
           of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by
           them.

06:013:023 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the
           border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of
           Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages
           thereof.

06:013:024 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto
           the children of Gad according to their families.

06:013:025 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and
           half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is
           before Rabbah;

06:013:026 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from
           Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;

06:013:027 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and
           Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon,
           Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of
           Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.

06:013:028 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their
           families, the cities, and their villages.

06:013:029 And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh:
           and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children
           of Manasseh by their families.

06:013:030 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom
           of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in
           Bashan, threescore cities:

06:013:031 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the
           kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of
           Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the
           children of Machir by their families.

06:013:032 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for
           inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan,
           by Jericho, eastward.

06:013:033 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the
           LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto
           them.

06:014:001 And these are the countries which the children of Israel
           inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and
           Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the
           tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance
           to them.

06:014:002 By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the
           hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.

06:014:003 For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half
           tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave
           none inheritance among them.

06:014:004 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and
           Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the
           land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their
           cattle and for their substance.

06:014:005 As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,
           and they divided the land.

06:014:006 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and
           Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou
           knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God
           concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.

06:014:007 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent
           me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him
           word again as it was in mine heart.

06:014:008 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart
           of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

06:014:009 And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon
           thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy
           children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the
           LORD my God.

06:014:010 And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said,
           these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this
           word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the
           wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five
           years old.

06:014:011 As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses
           sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now,
           for war, both to go out, and to come in.

06:014:012 Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in
           that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were
           there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the
           LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out,
           as the LORD said.

06:014:013 And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of
           Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

06:014:014 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of
           Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly
           followed the LORD God of Israel.

06:014:015 And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was
           a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.

06:015:001 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by
           their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of
           Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.

06:015:002 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea,
           from the bay that looketh southward:

06:015:003 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and
           passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto
           Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,
           and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

06:015:004 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the
           river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the
           sea: this shall be your south coast.

06:015:005 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of
           Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay
           of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:

06:015:006 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the
           north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of
           Bohan the son of Reuben:

06:015:007 And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor,
           and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the
           going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river:
           and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the
           goings out thereof were at Enrogel:

06:015:008 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto
           the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the
           border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before
           the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the
           valley of the giants northward:

06:015:009 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the
           fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities
           of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is
           Kirjathjearim:

06:015:010 And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir,
           and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is
           Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and
           passed on to Timnah:

06:015:011 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and
           the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount
           Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the
           border were at the sea.

06:015:012 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast
           thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round
           about according to their families.

06:015:013 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the
           children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to
           Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city
           is Hebron.

06:015:014 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and
           Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

06:015:015 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the
           name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.

06:015:016 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it,
           to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

06:015:017 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it:
           and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

06:015:018 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him
           to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and
           Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?

06:015:019 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a
           south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the
           upper springs, and the nether springs.

06:015:020 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
           according to their families.

06:015:021 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah
           toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and
           Jagur,

06:015:022 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,

06:015:023 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,

06:015:024 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,

06:015:025 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor,

06:015:026 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,

06:015:027 And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet,

06:015:028 And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,

06:015:029 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,

06:015:030 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,

06:015:031 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,

06:015:032 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities
           are twenty and nine, with their villages:

06:015:033 And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,

06:015:034 And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,

06:015:035 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,

06:015:036 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim;
           fourteen cities with their villages:

06:015:037 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,

06:015:038 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,

06:015:039 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,

06:015:040 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,

06:015:041 And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen
           cities with their villages:

06:015:042 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,

06:015:043 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,

06:015:044 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their
           villages:

06:015:045 Ekron, with her towns and her villages:

06:015:046 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with
           their villages:

06:015:047 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns
           and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea,
           and the border thereof:

06:015:048 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,

06:015:049 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir,

06:015:050 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,

06:015:051 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their
           villages:

06:015:052 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,

06:015:053 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,

06:015:054 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine
           cities with their villages:

06:015:055 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,

06:015:056 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,

06:015:057 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:

06:015:058 Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,

06:015:059 And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their
           villages:

06:015:060 Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities
           with their villages:

06:015:061 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,

06:015:062 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with
           their villages.

06:015:063 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
           children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites
           dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.

06:016:001 And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by
           Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the
           wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,

06:016:002 And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the
           borders of Archi to Ataroth,

06:016:003 And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the
           coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings
           out thereof are at the sea.

06:016:004 So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
           inheritance.

06:016:005 And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their
           families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the
           east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;

06:016:006 And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the
           north side; and the border went about eastward unto
           Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;

06:016:007 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and
           came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

06:016:008 The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river
           Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the
           inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their
           families.

06:016:009 And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among
           the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities
           with their villages.

06:016:010 And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but
           the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and
           serve under tribute.

06:017:001 There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the
           firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of
           Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war,
           therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.

06:017:002 There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh
           by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the
           children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the
           children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for
           the children of Shemida: these were the male children of
           Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.

06:017:003 But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son
           of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters:
           and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah,
           Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

06:017:004 And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before
           Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The
           LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our
           brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD
           he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their
           father.

06:017:005 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of
           Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

06:017:006 Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his
           sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.

06:017:007 And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that
           lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right
           hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.

06:017:008 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the
           border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;

06:017:009 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the
           river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of
           Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of
           the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:

06:017:010 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's,
           and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on
           the north, and in Issachar on the east.

06:017:011 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her
           towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor
           and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and
           the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants
           of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

06:017:012 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the
           inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in
           that land.

06:017:013 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen
           strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not
           utterly drive them out.

06:017:014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast
           thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I
           am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me
           hitherto?

06:017:015 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get
           thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in
           the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim
           be too narrow for thee.

06:017:016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for
           us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the
           valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean
           and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

06:017:017 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and
           to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great
           power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

06:017:018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou
           shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for
           thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron
           chariots, and though they be strong.

06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled
           together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
           congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.

06:018:002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
           which had not yet received their inheritance.

06:018:003 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye
           slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your
           fathers hath given you?

06:018:004 Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will
           send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and
           describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they
           shall come again to me.

06:018:005 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide
           in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
           abide in their coasts on the north.

06:018:006 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and
           bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for
           you here before the LORD our God.

06:018:007 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of
           the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half
           the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond
           Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave
           them.

06:018:008 And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that
           went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the
           land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here
           cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.

06:018:009 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it
           by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua
           to the host at Shiloh.

06:018:010 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and
           there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel
           according to their divisions.

06:018:011 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up
           according to their families: and the coast of their lot came
           forth between the children of Judah and the children of
           Joseph.

06:018:012 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the
           border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and
           went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out
           thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.

06:018:013 And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side
           of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended
           to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of
           the nether Bethhoron.

06:018:014 And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of
           the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron
           southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal,
           which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this
           was the west quarter.

06:018:015 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and
           the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of
           waters of Nephtoah:

06:018:016 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth
           before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the
           valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley
           of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended
           to Enrogel,

06:018:017 And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and
           went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up
           of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of
           Reuben,

06:018:018 And passed along toward the side over against Arabah
           northward, and went down unto Arabah:

06:018:019 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
           northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north
           bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the
           south coast.

06:018:020 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the
           inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof
           round about, according to their families.

06:018:021 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
           according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and
           the valley of Keziz,

06:018:022 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,

06:018:023 And Avim, and Pharah, and Ophrah,

06:018:024 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with
           their villages:

06:018:025 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

06:018:026 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,

06:018:027 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

06:018:028 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and
           Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the
           inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their
           families.

06:019:001 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of
           the children of Simeon according to their families: and their
           inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of
           Judah.

06:019:002 And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and
           Moladah,

06:019:003 And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,

06:019:004 And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,

06:019:005 And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,

06:019:006 And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their
           villages:

06:019:007 Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their
           villages:

06:019:008 And all the villages that were round about these cities to
           Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of
           the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their
           families.

06:019:009 Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the
           inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the
           children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the
           children of Simeon had their inheritance within the
           inheritance of them.

06:019:010 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun
           according to their families: and the border of their
           inheritance was unto Sarid:

06:019:011 And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and
           reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before
           Jokneam;

06:019:012 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the
           border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and
           goeth up to Japhia,

06:019:013 And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher,
           to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;

06:019:014 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon:
           and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:

06:019:015 And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and
           Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

06:019:016 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according
           to their families, these cities with their villages.

06:019:017 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of
           Issachar according to their families.

06:019:018 And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and
           Shunem,

06:019:019 And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,

06:019:020 And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,

06:019:021 And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;

06:019:022 And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and
           Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan:
           sixteen cities with their villages.

06:019:023 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of
           Issachar according to their families, the cities and their
           villages.

06:019:024 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of
           Asher according to their families.

06:019:025 And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and
           Achshaph,

06:019:026 And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel
           westward, and to Shihorlibnath;

06:019:027 And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to
           Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side
           of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left
           hand,

06:019:028 And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great
           Zidon;

06:019:029 And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city
           Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings
           thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:

06:019:030 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with
           their villages.

06:019:031 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher
           according to their families, these cities with their villages.

06:019:032 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for
           the children of Naphtali according to their families.

06:019:033 And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and
           Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings
           thereof were at Jordan:

06:019:034 And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth
           out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the
           south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to
           Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

06:019:035 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath,
           and Chinnereth,

06:019:036 And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

06:019:037 And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,

06:019:038 And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh;
           nineteen cities with their villages.

06:019:039 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of
           Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their
           villages.

06:019:040 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of
           Dan according to their families.

06:019:041 And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and
           Irshemesh,

06:019:042 And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

06:019:043 And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

06:019:044 And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,

06:019:045 And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,

06:019:046 And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.

06:019:047 And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for
           them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against
           Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
           and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan,
           after the name of Dan their father.

06:019:048 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan
           according to their families, these cities with their villages.

06:019:049 When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance
           by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to
           Joshua the son of Nun among them:

06:019:050 According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which
           he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the
           city, and dwelt therein.

06:019:051 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and
           Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the
           tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance
           by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the
           tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of
           dividing the country.

06:020:001 The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,

06:020:002 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you
           cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of
           Moses:

06:020:003 That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and
           unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge
           from the avenger of blood.

06:020:004 And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall
           stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall
           declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they
           shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place,
           that he may dwell among them.

06:020:005 And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall
           not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his
           neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.

06:020:006 And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the
           congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high
           priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer
           return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house,
           unto the city from whence he fled.

06:020:007 And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and
           Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in
           the mountain of Judah.

06:020:008 And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they
           assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the
           tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad,
           and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.

06:020:009 These were the cities appointed for all the children of
           Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that
           whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither,
           and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he
           stood before the congregation.

06:021:001 Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto
           Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto
           the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of
           Israel;

06:021:002 And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan,
           saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us
           cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.

06:021:003 And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their
           inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and
           their suburbs.

06:021:004 And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and
           the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites,
           had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of
           Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.

06:021:005 And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the
           families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan,
           and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.

06:021:006 And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of
           the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out
           of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of
           Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.

06:021:007 The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe
           of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe
           of Zebulun, twelve cities.

06:021:008 And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these
           cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand
           of Moses.

06:021:009 And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and
           out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which
           are here mentioned by name.

06:021:010 Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the
           Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs
           was the first lot.

06:021:011 And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which
           city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs
           thereof round about it.

06:021:012 But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave
           they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.

06:021:013 Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with
           her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah
           with her suburbs,

06:021:014 And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,

06:021:015 And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,

06:021:016 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and
           Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two
           tribes.

06:021:017 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs,
           Geba with her suburbs,

06:021:018 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four
           cities.

06:021:019 All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were
           thirteen cities with their suburbs.

06:021:020 And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which
           remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities
           of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.

06:021:021 For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim,
           to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her
           suburbs,

06:021:022 And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs;
           four cities.

06:021:023 And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs,
           Gibbethon with her suburbs,

06:021:024 Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four
           cities.

06:021:025 And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her
           suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.

06:021:026 All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of
           the children of Kohath that remained.

06:021:027 And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the
           Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave
           Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for
           the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.

06:021:028 And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs,
           Dabareh with her suburbs,

06:021:029 Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four
           cities.

06:021:030 And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon
           with her suburbs,

06:021:031 Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four
           cities.

06:021:032 And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her
           suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor
           with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.

06:021:033 All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families
           were thirteen cities with their suburbs.

06:021:034 And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of
           the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her
           suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,

06:021:035 Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four
           cities.

06:021:036 And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and
           Jahazah with her suburbs,

06:021:037 Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four
           cities.

06:021:038 And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her
           suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim
           with her suburbs,

06:021:039 Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities
           in all.

06:021:040 So all the cities for the children of Merari by their
           families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites,
           were by their lot twelve cities.

06:021:041 All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the
           children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their
           suburbs.

06:021:042 These cities were every one with their suburbs round about
           them: thus were all these cities.

06:021:043 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to
           give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt
           therein.

06:021:044 And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that
           he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all
           their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their
           enemies into their hand.

06:021:045 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had
           spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

06:022:001 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the
           half tribe of Manasseh,

06:022:002 And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of
           the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I
           commanded you:

06:022:003 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day,
           but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your
           God.

06:022:004 And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren,
           as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto
           your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses
           the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.

06:022:005 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,
           which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the
           LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his
           commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with
           all your heart and with all your soul.

06:022:006 So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto
           their tents.

06:022:007 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given
           possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave
           Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And
           when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he
           blessed them,

06:022:008 And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto
           your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with
           gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much
           raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

06:022:009 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
           half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the
           children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of
           Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their
           possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word
           of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

06:022:010 And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the
           land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad
           and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan,
           a great altar to see to.

06:022:011 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of
           Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh
           have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the
           borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.

06:022:012 And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole
           congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves
           together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.

06:022:013 And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben,
           and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh,
           into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the
           priest,

06:022:014 And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince
           throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head
           of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.

06:022:015 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children
           of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of
           Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

06:022:016 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass
           is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to
           turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have
           builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the
           LORD?

06:022:017 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are
           not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in
           the congregation of the LORD,

06:022:018 But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD?
           and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that
           to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of
           Israel.

06:022:019 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean,
           then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD,
           wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession
           among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against
           us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our
           God.

06:022:020 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the
           accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of
           Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

06:022:021 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
           half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of
           the thousands of Israel,

06:022:022 The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and
           Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in
           transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)

06:022:023 That we have built us an altar to turn from following the
           LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering,
           or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself
           require it;

06:022:024 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing,
           saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our
           children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of
           Israel?

06:022:025 For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye
           children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the
           LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from
           fearing the LORD.

06:022:026 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar,
           not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

06:022:027 But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our
           generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD
           before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices,
           and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say
           to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.

06:022:028 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say
           to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say
           again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our
           fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but
           it is a witness between us and you.

06:022:029 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn
           this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt
           offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the
           altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

06:022:030 And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the
           congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were
           with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the
           children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased
           them.

06:022:031 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the
           children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the
           children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is
           among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against
           the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of
           the hand of the LORD.

06:022:032 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes,
           returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of
           Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to
           the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

06:022:033 And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children
           of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against
           them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of
           Reuben and Gad dwelt.

06:022:034 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the
           altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD
           is God.

06:023:001 And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given
           rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that
           Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

06:023:002 And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and
           for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers,
           and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:

06:023:003 And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all
           these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that
           hath fought for you.

06:023:004 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that
           remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan,
           with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great
           sea westward.

06:023:005 And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you,
           and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess
           their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.

06:023:006 Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is
           written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not
           aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

06:023:007 That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among
           you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause
           to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto
           them:

06:023:008 But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this
           day.

06:023:009 For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and
           strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before
           you unto this day.

06:023:010 One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God,
           he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

06:023:011 Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the
           LORD your God.

06:023:012 Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant
           of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall
           make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to
           you:

06:023:013 Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive
           out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be
           snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and
           thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land
           which the LORD your God hath given you.

06:023:014 And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and
           ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one
           thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your
           God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and
           not one thing hath failed thereof.

06:023:015 Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are
           come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall
           the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have
           destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God
           hath given you.

06:023:016 When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God,
           which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods,
           and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD
           be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off
           the good land which he hath given unto you.

06:024:001 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and
           called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for
           their judges, and for their officers; and they presented
           themselves before God.

06:024:002 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God
           of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood
           in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father
           of Nachor: and they served other gods.

06:024:003 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the
           flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and
           multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.

06:024:004 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau
           mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went
           down into Egypt.

06:024:005 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to
           that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

06:024:006 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the
           sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with
           chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.

06:024:007 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you
           and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered
           them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and
           ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

06:024:008 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt
           on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave
           them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I
           destroyed them from before you.

06:024:009 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred
           against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to
           curse you:

06:024:010 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you
           still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

06:024:011 And you went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men
           of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the
           Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
           Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered
           them into your hand.

06:024:012 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from
           before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with
           thy sword, nor with thy bow.

06:024:013 And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and
           cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the
           vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.

06:024:014 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in
           truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the
           other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

06:024:015 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you
           this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
           fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or
           the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for
           me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

06:024:016 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should
           forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;

06:024:017 For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our
           fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
           and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us
           in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people
           through whom we passed:

06:024:018 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the
           Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve
           the LORD; for he is our God.

06:024:019 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for
           he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive
           your transgressions nor your sins.

06:024:020 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will
           turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done
           you good.

06:024:021 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the
           LORD.

06:024:022 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against
           yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And
           they said, We are witnesses.

06:024:023 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are
           among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.

06:024:024 And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we
           serve, and his voice will we obey.

06:024:025 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set
           them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

06:024:026 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God,
           and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that
           was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

06:024:027 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall
           be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the
           LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness
           unto you, lest ye deny your God.

06:024:028 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his
           inheritance.

06:024:029 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of
           Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten
           years old.

06:024:030 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in
           Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of
           the hill of Gaash.

06:024:031 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the
           days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known
           all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.

06:024:032 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought
           up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground
           which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem
           for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance
           of the children of Joseph.

06:024:033 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a
           hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him
           in mount Ephraim.
