    When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,

65. Joshua 4:5יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    …and said to them, “Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of Israel,
66. Joshua 4:8יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Thus the Israelites did as Joshua had commanded them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each tribe of Israel, just as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them to the camp, where they set them down.
67. Joshua 4:9יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood. And the stones are there to this day.
68. Joshua 4:10יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until the people had completed everything the LORD had commanded Joshua to tell them, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried across,
69. Joshua 4:14יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses.

    And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.

76. Joshua 5:2יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”

    So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
78. Joshua 5:4יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua

79. Joshua 5:7יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    And He raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. Until this time they were still uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised along the way.
80. Joshua 5:9יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So that place has been called Gilgal to this day.
81. Joshua 5:13יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in His hand. Joshua approached Him and asked, “Are You for us or for our enemies?”
82. Joshua 5:14יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    “Neither,” He replied. “I have now come as Commander of the LORD’s army.” Then Joshua fell facedown in reverence and asked Him, “What does my Lord have to say to His servant?”
83. Joshua 5:15יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    The Commander of the LORD’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
84. Joshua 6:2יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor.
85. Joshua 6:3Referred to, not named
    March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
86. Joshua 6:4Referred to, not named
    Have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark. Then on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the horns.
87. Joshua 6:5Referred to, not named
    And when there is a long blast of the ram’s horn and you hear its sound, have all the people give a mighty shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse and all your people will charge straight into the city.”
88. Joshua 6:6יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said, “Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”
89. Joshua 6:7Referred to, not named
    And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”
90. Joshua 6:8יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
91. Joshua 6:10יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to shout!”
92. Joshua 6:11Referred to, not named
    So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.
93. Joshua 6:12יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.
94. Joshua 6:16יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    After the seventh time around, the priests blew the horns, and Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
95. Joshua 6:17Referred to, not named
    Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies we sent.
96. Joshua 6:22יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    Meanwhile, Joshua told the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the house of the prostitute and bring out the woman and all who are with her, just as you promised her.”
97. Joshua 6:25יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho. So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.
98. Joshua 6:26יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    At that time Joshua invoked this solemn oath: “Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho; at the cost of his firstborn he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
99. Joshua 6:27יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
    So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
100. Joshua 7:2יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Meanwhile, Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the land.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
101. Joshua 7:3יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     On returning to Joshua, they reported, “There is no need to send all the people; two or three thousand men are enough to go up and attack Ai. Since the people of Ai are so few, you need not wear out all our people there.”
102. Joshua 7:6יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown before the ark of the LORD until evening, as did the elders of Israel; and they all sprinkled dust on their heads.
103. Joshua 7:7יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     “O, Lord GOD,” Joshua said, “why did You ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be destroyed? If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
104. Joshua 7:8Referred to, not named
     O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back and run from its enemies?
105. Joshua 7:9Referred to, not named
     When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”
106. Joshua 7:10יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     But the LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
107. Joshua 7:12Referred to, not named
     This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.
108. Joshua 7:13Referred to, not named
     Get up and consecrate the people, saying, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Among you, O Israel, there are things devoted to destruction. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
109. Joshua 7:14Referred to, not named
     In the morning you must present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD selects shall come forward clan by clan, and the clan that the LORD selects shall come forward family by family, and the family that the LORD selects shall come forward man by man.
110. Joshua 7:16יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua arose early the next morning and had Israel come forward tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
111. Joshua 7:17Referred to, not named
     He had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward, and the family of Zabdi was selected.
112. Joshua 7:18Referred to, not named
     And he had the family of Zabdi come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
113. Joshua 7:19יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I urge you to tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
114. Joshua 7:20יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     “It is true,” Achan replied, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
115. Joshua 7:22יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
116. Joshua 7:23יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
117. Joshua 7:24יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen and donkeys and sheep, his tent, and everything else he owned, and brought them to the Valley of Achor.
118. Joshua 7:25יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     “Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies.
119. Joshua 8:1יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid or discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
120. Joshua 8:2Referred to, not named
     And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set up an ambush behind the city.”
121. Joshua 8:3יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua and the whole army set out to attack Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 mighty men of valor and sent them out at night
122. Joshua 8:4Referred to, not named
     …with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready.
123. Joshua 8:5Referred to, not named
     Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them.
124. Joshua 8:6Referred to, not named
     They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we flee from them,
125. Joshua 8:8Referred to, not named
     And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”
126. Joshua 8:9יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the place of ambush and lay in wait between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai. But Joshua spent that night among the people.
127. Joshua 8:10יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Joshua got up early the next morning and mobilized his men, and he and the elders of Israel marched before them up to Ai.

     Then all the troops who were with him marched up and approached the city. They arrived in front of Ai and camped to the north of it, with the valley between them and the city.
129. Joshua 8:12Referred to, not named
     Now Joshua had taken about five thousand men and set up an ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the city.

     Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them, and they fled toward the wilderness.
132. Joshua 8:16יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then all the men of Ai were summoned to pursue them, and they followed Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
133. Joshua 8:18יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Hold out your battle lance toward Ai, for into your hand I will deliver the city.” So Joshua held out his battle lance toward Ai,
134. Joshua 8:19Referred to, not named
     …and as soon as he did so, the men in ambush rose quickly from their position. They rushed forward, entered the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.
135. Joshua 8:21יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.

     But they took the king of Ai alive and brought him to Joshua.
137. Joshua 8:26יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his battle lance until he had devoted to destruction all who lived in Ai.
138. Joshua 8:27יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Israel took for themselves only the cattle and plunder of that city, as the LORD had commanded Joshua.
139. Joshua 8:28יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolation to this day.
140. Joshua 8:29יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     He hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.
141. Joshua 8:30יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel,
142. Joshua 8:32Referred to, not named
     And there in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
143. Joshua 8:34Referred to, not named
     Afterward, Joshua read aloud all the words of the law—the blessings and the curses—according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.
144. Joshua 8:35יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua failed to read before the whole assembly of Israel, including the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who lived among them.
145. Joshua 9:2יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     …they came together to wage war against Joshua and Israel.
146. Joshua 9:3יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     But the people of Gibeon, having heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
147. Joshua 9:6יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”
148. Joshua 9:8יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     “We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”
149. Joshua 9:9Referred to, not named
     “Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied, “because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,
150. Joshua 9:11Referred to, not named
     So the elders and inhabitants of our land told us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go to meet them and say to them: We are your servants. Please make a treaty with us.’
151. Joshua 9:12Referred to, not named
     This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But look, it is now dry and moldy.
152. Joshua 9:15יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     And Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
153. Joshua 9:16Referred to, not named
     Three days after they had made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learned that they were neighbors, living among them.
154. Joshua 9:22יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua summoned the Gibeonites and said, “Why did you deceive us by telling us you live far away from us, when in fact you live among us?
155. Joshua 9:23Referred to, not named
     Now therefore you are under a curse and will perpetually serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.”
156. Joshua 9:24יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     The Gibeonites answered, “Your servants were told clearly that the LORD your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.
157. Joshua 9:25Referred to, not named
     Now we are in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”
158. Joshua 9:26Referred to, not named
     So Joshua did this and delivered them from the hands of the Israelites, and they did not kill the Gibeonites.
159. Joshua 9:27יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers, as they are to this day for the congregation of the LORD and for the altar at the place He would choose.
160. Joshua 10:1יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Now Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai and devoted it to destruction—doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king—and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living near them.
161. Joshua 10:4יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     “Come up and help me. We will attack Gibeon, because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
162. Joshua 10:6יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
163. Joshua 10:7יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua and his whole army, including all the mighty men of valor, came from Gilgal.
164. Joshua 10:8יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not one of them shall stand against you.”
165. Joshua 10:9יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     After marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua caught them by surprise.
166. Joshua 10:12יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     On the day that the LORD gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
167. Joshua 10:15יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
168. Joshua 10:17יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     And Joshua was informed: “The five kings have been found; they are hiding in the cave at Makkedah.”
169. Joshua 10:18יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and post men there to guard them.
170. Joshua 10:20יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua and the Israelites continued to inflict a terrible slaughter until they had finished them off, and the remaining survivors retreated to the fortified cities.
171. Joshua 10:21יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     The whole army returned safely to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared to utter a word against the Israelites.
172. Joshua 10:22יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave and bring those five kings out to me.”
173. Joshua 10:23Referred to, not named
     So they brought the five kings out of the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon.
174. Joshua 10:24יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the men of Israel and said to the army commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
175. Joshua 10:25יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     “Do not be afraid or discouraged,” Joshua said. “Be strong and courageous, for the LORD will do this to all the enemies you fight.”
176. Joshua 10:26יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     After this, Joshua struck down and killed the kings, and he hung their bodies on five trees and left them there until evening.
177. Joshua 10:27יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     At sunset Joshua ordered that they be taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave in which they had hidden. Then large stones were placed against the mouth of the cave, and the stones are there to this day.
178. Joshua 10:28יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     On that day Joshua captured Makkedah and put it to the sword, along with its king. He devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. So he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
179. Joshua 10:29יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against Libnah.
180. Joshua 10:30Referred to, not named
     And the LORD also delivered that city and its king into the hand of Israel, and Joshua put all the people to the sword, leaving no survivors. And he did to the king of Libnah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
181. Joshua 10:31יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     And Joshua and all Israel with him moved on from Libnah to Lachish. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
182. Joshua 10:32Referred to, not named
     And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and Joshua captured it on the second day. He put all the people to the sword, just as he had done to Libnah.
183. Joshua 10:33יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     At that time Horam king of Gezer went to help Lachish, but Joshua struck him down along with his people, leaving no survivors.
184. Joshua 10:34יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua moved on from Lachish to Eglon, and all Israel with him. They laid siege to it and fought against it.
185. Joshua 10:35Referred to, not named
     That day they captured Eglon and put it to the sword, and Joshua devoted to destruction everyone in the city, just as he had done to Lachish.
186. Joshua 10:36יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron and fought against it.
187. Joshua 10:37Referred to, not named
     They captured it and put to the sword its king, all its villages, and all the people. Joshua left no survivors, just as he had done at Eglon; he devoted to destruction Hebron and everyone in it.
188. Joshua 10:38יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Finally Joshua and all Israel with him turned toward Debir and fought against it.
189. Joshua 10:39Referred to, not named
     And they captured Debir, its king, and all its villages. They put them to the sword and devoted to destruction everyone in the city, leaving no survivors. Joshua did to Debir and its king as he had done to Hebron and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
190. Joshua 10:40יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So Joshua conquered the whole region—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes, together with all their kings—leaving no survivors. He devoted to destruction everything that breathed, just as the LORD, the God of Israel, had commanded.
191. Joshua 10:41יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Joshua conquered the area from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole region of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
192. Joshua 10:42יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     And because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel, Joshua captured all these kings and their land in one campaign.
193. Joshua 10:43יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.
194. Joshua 11:6יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots.”
195. Joshua 11:7יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     So by the waters of Merom, Joshua and his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them,
196. Joshua 11:9יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.
197. Joshua 11:10יְהוֹשׁוּעַ · Joshua
     At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.
198. Joshua 11:11Referred to, not named
