The book of Joshua, found in the Old Testament of the Bible, tells the story of the Israelites as they enter the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua. It follows the events after Moses' death and the forty years of wandering in the desert.
Joshua was chosen by God to succeed Moses and lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan. He was a faithful servant of the Lord, obediently following His commands. The book of Joshua emphasizes the importance of keeping the covenant with God and the consequences of disobedience.
The central theme of the book is the conquest of the land of Canaan. Joshua and the Israelites faced numerous challenges and battles as they fought against the inhabitants of the land. With God's guidance and support, they were able to overcome their enemies and take possession of the land that God had promised to their ancestors.
Joshua is portrayed as a courageous and faithful leader, always seeking God's direction in every decision he made. He led the people of Israel with the utmost respect for God's law, reminding them of their commitment to follow the Lord and urging them to stay faithful.
The book of Joshua also highlights the miracle of the crossing of the Jordan River, similar to the crossing of the Red Sea during the time of Moses. The waters of the Jordan River parted, allowing the Israelites to pass through on dry ground, symbolizing God's power and faithfulness.
As the Israelites settled in the Promised Land, Joshua divided the land among the twelve tribes of Israel according to their inheritance. He also established cities of refuge, where individuals who accidentally caused harm could find protection.
The book of Joshua concludes with Joshua's farewell address to the Israelites, in which he exhorts them to remain faithful to God and to reject the idolatrous practices of the surrounding nations.
In summary, the book of Joshua narrates the successful conquest of the Promised Land under the leadership of Joshua. It teaches important lessons about obedience, faithfulness, and the consequences of disobedience. It reminds us of the importance of following God's commands and staying true to our commitments. #Joshua #Bible #PromisedLand #Conquest #Faithfulness

5:51
window from which you let us down and collect your father mother brothers and entire family inside your house if
5:58
anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street his blood will be on his own head and we shall not be to
6:04
blame but the blood of all staying inside the house with you will be on our heads if a hand is laid on any of them
6:11
but if you divulge our mission in the meanwhile we shall be free of the oath which you have made us swear she replied

Joshua chapter 3 early in the morning Joshua struck camp and set out from shm
7:06
with all the Israelites they went as far as the Jordan and there they camped before they crossed 3 days later the
7:14
officials went through the camp and gave the people these instructions when you see the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh
7:19
your God being carried by the levitical priests you will leave your position and follow it so that you may know which way
7:25
to take since you have never gone this way before between you you and the Ark however keep a distance of about 2,000
7:33
cubits do not go near it between you and the Ark however keep a distance of about
7:40
2,000 cubits do not go near it Joshua said to the people sanctify yourselves
7:47
since tomorrow Yahweh will work wonders among you Joshua then said to the priests take up the Ark of the Covenant
7:55
and cross at the head of the people they took up the Ark of the Covenant and moved move to the head of the people
8:01
Yahweh said to Joshua this very day I shall begin to make you great in the eyes of all Israel so that they will
8:08
know that as I was with Moses so I shall be with you now give this order to the
8:14
priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant when you have reached the brink of the Waters of the Jordan you must halt in
8:20
the Jordan itself to the Israelites Joshua then said come closer and hear
8:26
the words of Yahweh your God Joshua said by this you are to know that the Living
8:31
God is with you and without a doubt will expel the Canaanites the Hittites the hivites perizzites jurasits amorites and
8:40
jebusites before you look the Ark of the Covenant of the lord of the whole earth
8:45
is about to move into the Jordan at your head now choose 12 men from the tribes
8:50
of Israel one man from each tribe as soon as the priests carrying the Ark of
8:56
Yahweh lord of the whole earth have set the Sal of their feet in the waters of the Jordan the Waters of the Jordan will
9:03
be cut off the upper Waters flowing down will stop as a single Mass accordingly
9:09
when the people left their tents to cross the Jordan the priests carried the Ark of the Covenant ahead of the people
9:15
as soon as the bearers of the Ark reached the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark touch the waters the Jordan is in Spate throughout
9:22
the harvest season the upper waterers Stood Still and formed a single Mass over a great distance at Adam the town
9:29
near zerian while those flowing down to the Sea of the araba the salt sea were
9:34
completely separated the people crossed opposite Jericho the priests carrying
9:40
the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh stood firm on dry ground in mid Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground until
9:47
the whole nation had completed its crossing of the
9:54
Jordan Joshua chapter 4 when the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan
10:01
Yahweh spoke to Joshua and said choose 12 men from the people one man from each
10:06
tribe and give them this order here from mid Jordan from the place where the priests feet were standing take 12
10:13
Stones carry them with you and set them down in the camp where you pass the night Joshua called the 12 men whom he
10:20
had selected from the Israelites one man from each tribe and Joshua said to them
10:25
go on ahead of the Ark of Yahweh your God into mid Jordan and each of you take one stone on his shoulder corresponding
10:32
to the number of the tribes of Israel to make this a sign among you and when in the future your children ask you what do
10:39
these Stones mean for you you will then tell them the Waters of the Jordan separated before the Ark of the Covenant
10:45
of Yahweh when it crossed the Jordan the Waters of the river separated these
10:51
stones are an everlasting REM reminder of this to the Israelites the Israelites
10:56
did as Joshua ordered they took 12 stones from mid Jordan corresponding to the number of the tribes of Israel as
11:03
Yahweh had told Joshua They carried them over to the camp and set them down there
11:08
Joshua then erected 12 Stones in mid Jordan on the spot where the feet of the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant
11:15
had stood and they are still there today the priests carrying the ark Stood Still
11:20
in mid Jordan until everything had been done that Yahweh had ordered Joshua to tell the people in accordance with
11:26
everything that Moses had ordered Joshua and the the people hurried across when the people had finished crossing the Ark
11:33
of Yahweh then crossed with the priests to the head of the people the sons of
11:39
Reuben the sons of GAD and the Hal tribe of Manasseh crossed in battle formation at the head of the Israelites as Moses
11:46
had told them some 40,000 Warriors in arms they crossed in yahweh's presence
11:52
ready for battle towards the Plaine of Jericho that day Yahweh made Joshua
11:58
great in the ey eyes of all Israel who respected him as they had respected Moses as long as he lived Yahweh said to
12:06
Joshua order the priests carrying the Ark of the testimony to come up out of the Jordan and Joshua gave the order to
12:13
the priests come up out of the Jordan now when the priests carrying the Ark of
12:19
the Covenant of Yahweh came up out of mid Jordan no sooner had the saws of the priest's feet touched Solid Ground then
12:26
the Waters of the Jordan returned to their bed and ran on in Spade as before it was the 10th day
12:32
of the first month when the people came up from the Jordan and made their camp at gilgal on the eastern border of
12:38
Jericho as regards those 12 Stones which they had taken from the Jordan Joshua
12:44
set them up at gilgal he then said to the Israelites when in the future your
12:50
children asked their fathers what are these Stones you will explain to your children Israel crossed this Jordan
12:58
dryshod for Yahweh your God dried up the Waters of the Jordan in front of you until you had crossed just as Yahweh
13:05
your god did to the Sea of reeds which he dried up before us until we had crossed it so that all the peoples of
13:11
the earth may know how Mighty the hand of Yahweh is and always stand in awe of Yahweh your
13:21
God Joshua chapter 5 when all the kings of the amorites living to Westward across
13:28
the Jordan and all the kings of the Canaanites living on the Seaboard heard that Yahweh had dried up the Waters of the Jordan
13:35
before the Israelites until they had crossed their hearts failed and they lost all courage to resist the
13:41
Israelites at this time Yahweh said to Joshua make flint knives and circumcised
13:46
the Israelites again a second time Joshua made Flint knives and
13:52
circumcised the Israelites on the hill of forkins the reason why Joshua
13:57
circumcised them was this this all the males of the people who had come out of Egypt of age to bear arms had died in
14:04
the desert on their Journey after leaving Egypt now all the people who came out have been circumcised but none
14:11
of those born in the desert during the journey after leaving Egypt had been circumcised for the Israelites walked
14:18
the desert for 40 years until the whole nation had died out that is the men who
14:24
had come out of Egypt of age to bear arms they had not obeyed the voice of Yahweh and Yahweh had sworn to them
14:30
never to let them see the land which he had sworn to their ancestors that he would give us a land flowing with milk
14:37
and honey but in place of these he set their sons and these were the ones whom
14:42
Joshua circumcised they were uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised during the journey when the
14:48
circumcising of the whole nation was finished they stayed resting in the camp till they were well again Yahweh then
14:56
said to Joshua today I have taken the shame name of Egypt away from you hence
15:02
the place has been called gilgal ever since the Israelites pitched their camp at gilgal and kept the Passover there on
15:09
the 14th day of the month at evening in the plain of Jericho on the very next
15:14
day after the Passover they ate what the land produced unleavened bread and roasted ears of corn the Mana stopped
15:22
the day after they had eaten the produce of the land the Israelites from that year onwards ate the produce of Canaan
15:29
and had no more Mana now when Joshua was near Jericho he looked up and saw a man
15:35
standing in front of him grasping a naked sword Joshua walked towards him
15:40
and said to him are you on our side or on that of our enemies he replied on
15:46
neither side I have come now as the captain of the army of Yahweh Joshua
15:52
fell on his face to the ground worshiping him and said what has my Lord
15:58
to say to his vant the captain of the army of Yahweh answered Joshua take your
16:03
sandals off your feet for the place where you are standing is Holy and Joshua did
16:13
so Joshua chapter 6 now Jericho had shut
16:19
and barricaded its Gates against the Israelites no one came out and no one
16:24
went in Yahweh then said to Joshua look I am putting Jericho its pck troops and
16:31
its king at your mercy all you Warriors must March around the city go right
16:36
around the city once doing the same on six successive Days Seven priests must
16:42
carry seven Rams Horn trumpets in front of the Ark on the seventh day you will
16:48
go seven times round the city and the priests will blow their trumpets when the Ram's Horn sounds when
16:54
you hear the sound of the trumpet the entire people must utter a mighty warry cry and the city wall will collapse then
17:00
and there the people will then go into the assault each man Straight Ahead
17:06
Joshua son of nun summoned the priests and said to them take up the Ark of the Covenant and let seven priests carry
17:13
seven Rams Horn trumpets ahead of the Ark of Yahweh to the people he then said
17:18
forward March round the city and let the Vanguard March ahead of the Ark of
17:23
Yahweh everything was done as Joshua had given orders to the people seven priests
17:30
carrying seven Rams Horn trumpets ahead of Yahweh moved forward blowing their Trumpets the Ark of the Covenant of
17:36
Yahweh came behind them the Vanguard marched ahead of the priests who blew their Trumpets the rear guard followed
17:42
behind the ark the men marched the trumpet sounded Joshua had given the people the following orders do not raise
17:50
a war cry do not let your voice be heard not a word must pass your lips until the
17:56
day when I say raise the war cry that is when you must raise the war cry
18:02
he made the ark go around the city going round at once then they went back to Camp where they spent the night Joshua
18:10
got up early and the priests took up the Ark of Yahweh carrying the seven Rams
18:15
Horn Trumpets the seven priests walked ahead of the Ark of Yahweh blowing their trumpets as they went while the Vanguard
18:22
marched ahead of them and the rear guard behind the Ark of Yahweh and the March went on to the sound of the trumpet they
18:29
marched once round the city on the second day and went back to camp and so
18:34
on for 6 days on the seventh day they got up at dawn and marched in the same
18:40
manner round the city seven times this was the only day when they marched round
18:45
the city seven times at the seventh time the priests blew their trumpets and Joshua said to
18:52
the people raise the war cry for Yahweh has given you the city the city and
18:57
everyone in it must be devoted to Yahweh Under The Curse Of Destruction the life of Rahab The Prostitute alone must be
19:04
spared with all those with her in her house since she hid The Messengers we sent but Beware Of The Curse Of
19:11
Destruction yourselves for fear that moved by greed you take something lying
19:16
under the curse that would put the camp of Israel under the same curse and bring disaster on it all the silver and all
19:23
the gold everything made of bronze or iron will be consecrated to Yahweh and
19:29
put in his treasury the people raised the war cry the trumpet sounded when the
19:34
people heard the sound of the trumpet they raised a mighty war cry and the wall collapsed then and there at once
19:41
the people stormed the city each man going straight forward and they captured the city they enforced The Curse Of
19:48
Destruction on everyone in the city men and women young and old including the
19:54
oxen the sheep and the donkeys slaughtering them all Joshua said to the
19:59
two men who had reconed the country go into the prostitute's house and bring the woman out with all who belong to her
20:07
as you swore to her that you would the young men who had been spies went and brought Rahab out with her father and
20:14
mother and brothers and all who belonged to her they brought out all her clansmen too and put them in a place of safety
20:21
outside the camp of Israel they burned the city and everything inside it except
20:26
the silver the gold and the things of bronze and iron these they put into the treasury of yahweh's house but Rahab The
20:34
Prostitute her father's family and all who belong to her these Joshua spared
20:40
she is still living in Israel even today for having hidden The Messengers whom Joshua sent to reconnoiter Jericho at
20:47
that time Joshua made them take this oath before Yahweh a cursed before Yahweh be the man who Rises up and
20:54
rebuilds the City Jericho on his firstborn will he lay its
20:59
foundations on his youngest son set up its Gates so Yahweh was with Joshua
21:06
whose Fame spread throughout the
21:12
country Joshua chapter 7 but the Israelites were
21:18
unfaithful to The Curse Of Destruction aan son of Cari son of zabdi son of Zer
21:25
of the tribe of Judah took something that fell under the curse of Destruction and the anger of Yahweh was aroused
21:31
against the Israelites now Joshua sent men from Jericho to AI which is near
21:37
bethaven to the east of bethl having said to them go up and Recon to the
21:42
country they went up and reconnoitered AI coming back to Joshua they said there
21:49
is no need for the whole people to go up let some two or 3,000 go and attack AI
21:55
spare the whole people such an effort there are only a few of them of the
22:00
people some 3,000 marched up but these broke before the people of AI who killed
22:06
some 36 of them and pursued them from the Town Gate as far as shearim and on the slope cut them to Pieces the hearts
22:13
of the people melted away and turned to water Joshua then tore his clothes and
22:19
prostrated himself before the Ark of Yahweh till Nightfall the Elders of Israel did the same and all poured dust
22:26
on their heads and Joshua said said alas Lord Yahweh why did you bother to bring
22:32
this nation across the Jordan if it was only to put us at the mercy of the amorites and destroy us if only we could
22:38
have settled down on the other side of the Jordan forgive me Lord but what can
22:43
I say now that Israel has turned tail on the enemy the Canaanites all the
22:49
inhabitants of the land will hear of it they will unite against us to wipe our
22:54
name from the earth and what will you do about Your Great Name then Yahweh said to Joshua stand up why are
23:02
you lying prostrate like this Israel has sinned they have violated the Covenant
23:08
which I imposed on them they have gone so far as to take what was under the curse of Destruction they have even
23:15
stolen it they have actually hidden it they have put it in their baggage that is why the Israelites cannot stand up to
23:22
their foes why they have turned tail on their enemies because they have come under the curse of Destruction
23:28
themselves eles unless you get rid of the object among you which has been put under the curse of Destruction I shall
23:35
be with you no longer get up sanctify the people and say sanctify yourselves
23:40
for tomorrow since Yahweh the god of Israel declares The Curse Of Destruction
23:46
has now fallen on you Israel you will not be able to stand up to your enemies
23:51
until you have rid yourselves of that object which has been put under the curse of Destruction tomorrow morning
23:57
therefore you will come come forward tribe by tribe and then the tribe which Yahweh selects by lot will come forward
24:03
Clan by Clan and the clan which Yahweh selects by lot will come forward family by family and the family which Yahweh
24:10
selects by lot will come forward Man by man and the man indicated by lot as regards the object which has been put
24:16
under the curse of Destruction will be delivered to the Flames he and all his possessions for having violated the
24:23
Covenant with Yahweh and for having committed an infamy in Israel Joshua got up early
24:28
he made Israel come forward tribe by tribe and the lot indicated the tribe of Judah he summoned the clans of Judah and
24:36
the lot indicated the clan of Zer he summoned the clan of Zera family by
24:42
family and the lot indicated zdi Joshua then summoned the family of zdi Man by
24:48
man and the lot indicated aan son of Cari son of zdi son of Zer of the tribe
24:55
of Judah Joshua then said to a my son give glory to Yahweh God of
25:02
Israel and confess tell me what you have done and hide nothing from me aan
25:08

25:14
and this is what I have done in the loot I saw a fine robe from Shar and 200
25:20
shekels of silver and an Ingot of gold weighing 50 shekels I set my heart on them and I took them they are hidden in
25:27

25:33
they ran to the tent and the robe was indeed hidden in the tent with the silver underneath they took the things
25:40

26:14
burned them and threw stones at them over him they raised a great mound of
26:20
stones which is still there today Yahweh then relented from his Fierce anger that
26:27
was why the place was called the veil of acre as it still is
26:36
today Joshua 8 Yahweh then said to Joshua be fearless and undaunted take

AI at their head all the Warriors marching with him Advanced on the front of of the town and pitched Camp North of

28:36
concealed these between bethl and AI to the west of the town the people pitched
28:41
the main Camp to the north of the town and set up its Ambush to the west of the Town Joshua went that night into the
28:48
middle of the plane the king of AI had seen this the people of the Town got up
28:53
early and hurried out so that he and all his people could engage Israel and battle on the slope facing the araba but
29:00
he did not know that an ambush had been laid for him to the rear of the Town Joshua and all Israel pretended to be
29:07
beaten by them and took to their heels along the road to the desert all the people in the town joined in the pursuit
29:13
and in pursuing Joshua were drawn away from the town not a man was left in AI
29:20
nor in bethl who had not gone in pursuit of Israel and in pursuing Israel they
29:26
left the town undefended Yahweh then said to Joshua Point the saber in your
29:31
hand at AI for I am about to put the town at your mercy Joshua pointed the
29:36
saber in his hand towards the town no sooner had he stretched out his hand than the men in Ambush burst from their
29:43
position ran forward entered the town captured it and quickly set it on fire
29:49
when the men of AI looked back they saw smoke rising from the town into the sky
29:55
none of them had the courage to run in any direction ction for the people fleeing towards the desert turned back
30:01
on their pursuers for once Joshua and all Israel saw that the town had been seized by the men in Ambush and that
30:08
smoke was rising from the town they turned about and attacked the men of AI the others came out from the town to
30:15
engage them too and the men of AI were thus surrounded by Israelites some on
30:21
this side and some on that the Israelites struck them down until not one was left alive and none to flee but
30:28
the king of AI was taken alive and brought to Joshua when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of
30:34
AI in the open ground and in the desert where they had pursued them and when every single one had fallen to the sword
30:41
all Israel returned to Ai and slaughtered its remaining population the number of those who fell that day men
30:48
and women together was 12,000 all people of AI Joshua did not draw back the hand
30:55
with which he pointed the saber until he had subjected all all the inhabitants of AI to The Curse Of Destruction for booty
31:02
Israel took only the cattle and The Spoils of this town in accordance with the order that Yahweh had given to
31:08
Joshua Joshua then burned AI making it a ruin forever more a desolate place even
31:15
today he hanged the king of AI from a tree till evening but at Sunset Joshua
31:21
ordered his body to be taken down from the tree it was then thrown down at the entrance to the town gate and on top of
31:28
of it was raised a great mound of stones which is still there today Joshua then
31:33
built an altar to Yahweh God of Israel on Mount eel as Moses servant of Yahweh
31:40
had ordered the Israelites as is written in the law of Moses an altar of undressed stones on which no iron has
31:47
been used on this they presented burnt offerings to Yahweh and communion sacrifices as well there Joshua wrote on
31:56
the stones a copy of the law of Moses which Moses had written in the presence of the Israelites all Israel with their
32:03
Elders their officials and their judges stood on either side of the Ark facing
32:09
the levitical priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh foreigners with a native born half of
32:15
them on the upper slopes of Mount eel as Moses servant of Yahweh had originally
32:20
ordered for the blessing of the people of Israel after this Joshua read all the
32:25
words of the law the blessing and the curse ing exactly as it stands written in the book of The Law of every word
32:32
laid down by Moses not one was left unread by Joshua in the presence of the
32:37
whole assembly of Israel including the women and children and the foreigners living with
32:48
them Joshua chapter 9 hearing these things all the kings on the side of the
32:54
Jordan in the highlands and in the lowlands all along the coast of the great sea towards the Lebanon Hittites
33:01
amorites Canaanites perizzites hivites and jebusites with one consent formed a
33:06
fighting alliance against Joshua and Israel when the inhabitants of gibian learned how Joshua had treated Jericho
33:13
and AI for their part they had recourse to aruse they provided themselves with
33:19
supplies and loaded their donkeys with old sacks and with old wine skins which had burst and been sewn up again they
33:26
put on patched old sand Les and worn out clothes the only bread they took with
33:31
them to eat was dried up and crumbling they came to Joshua in the camp at gilgal and to him and the men of Israel
33:38
they said we come from a distant country so make a treaty with us the Israelites
33:44
answered these hivites for all we know you may live right Among Us how then
33:50
could we make a treaty with you they said to Joshua we are your servants but
33:56
who are you Joshua asked them and where do you come from they said your servants
34:03
have come from a country very far away because of the fame of Yahweh your God for we have heard of him and of all that
34:09
he did in Egypt and of all that he did to the two Amorite Kings who used to live on the other side of the Jordan
34:15
Canan king of heshbon and OG king of Bashan who used to live at ashteroth
34:21
because of which our elders and all the people of our country said to us take Provisions with you for the journey go
34:27
and meet them and say to them we are your servants so make a treaty with us
34:33
here is our bread it was warm when we took it from home to provide for our journey the day we set out to come to
34:39
you and now you can see it is dried up and crumbling these wine skins were new
34:45
when we filled them you can see they have burst and these clothes and sandals
34:50
of ours are worn out from traveling such a long way the leaders sampled some of the food they offered but they did not
34:57
ask ask yahweh's orders Joshua made peace with them and struck a treaty with them guaranteeing their lives and the
35:04
leaders of the community ratified it by oath now it so happened that 3 days after the treaty had been made it became
35:12
known that they were a neighboring people living in Israel's region the Israelites set out from Camp arriving in
35:19
their towns 3 Days Later their towns were gibian ke beroth and kirth jiram
35:27
the Israel it did not attack them since the leaders of the community had sworn to them by Yahweh God of Israel but the
35:34
whole Community muttered against the leaders the leaders however all said to the whole Community since we have sworn
35:41
an oath to them by Yahweh God of Israel we cannot touch them now this is what we
35:46
shall do with them let them live rather than bring retribution down on ourselves
35:52
on account of the oath which we have sworn to them and the leaders went on let them live but let them be wood
35:58
cutters and water carriers for the whole Community Thus Spoke the leaders Joshua
36:04
sent for the gibian and asked them why did you deceive Us by saying we live
36:09
very far away when in fact you live right Among Us from now on you are a
36:15
cursed and will forever be surfs as wood cutters and water carriers in the house of my God their answer to Joshua was we
36:23
did it because your servants have been rightly told that Yahweh your God had ordered his servant Moses to give you the whole of this country and destroy
36:30
all its inhabitants before you also because as you Advanced on us we feared
36:36
very greatly for our lives that was why we did this now as you see we are at
36:42
your mercy do to us whatever you think good and right what he did with them was
36:48
this he saved them from the hand of the Israelites who did not kill them but
36:53
that very day Joshua made them wood cutters and water carriers for the community and for the altar of Yahweh at
37:00
the place which he would eventually choose and so they are
37:05
[Music] today Joshua chap 10 now it happened
37:13
that Adon eedc king of Jerusalem learned that Joshua had conquered Ai and put the town Under The Curse Of Destruction
37:19
treating Ai and its king as he had already treated Jericho and its king and also that the inhabitants of gibian had
37:26
made peace with Israel and were were living with them there was consternation at this since gibian was as important a
37:32
town as any of the royal towns themselves it was larger than AI while all its citizens were fighting men
37:39
consequently Adon zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to H king of Hein
37:44
pyrum king of jth jafia king of lakish and deir king of Egon join me up here
37:51
and help me to conquer gibian since it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites the five Amorite King Kings
37:57
joined forces and went up there that is the king of Jerusalem the king of Hein
38:03
the king of jth the king of lakish and the king of eglon they and all their armies laying Siege to gibian they
38:10
attacked it the men of gibian sent word to Joshua in the camp at gilgal do not
38:15
desert your servants come up here quickly to save us and help us since all the Amorite Kings living in the
38:22
highlands have Allied themselves against us Joshua came up from gilgal he all the
38:28
fighting men and all the bravest of his army Yahweh said to Joshua do not be
38:33
afraid of these people I have put them at your mercy not one of them will put up any resistance having marched from
38:41
gilgal throughout the night Joshua caught them unawares Yahweh threw them
38:46
into disorder at the sight of Israel defeating them completely at gibian furthermore he pursued them by way of
38:53
The Descent of Beth horon and harassed them as far as azeka and as far as Makita and as they fled from Israel Down
39:00
The Descent of Beth horon Yahweh hurled huge hailstones from Heaven on them all the way to ezeka and they died more of
39:08
them died under the hailstones than under the swords of the Israelites Joshua then spoke to Yahweh the day
39:16
Yahweh delivered the amorites to the Israelites in the presence of Israel Joshua said Son stand still over gibian
39:25
and moon you too over the veil of aelin and the sun Stood Still and the moon
39:31
halted until the people had taken Vengeance on their enemies is this not
39:36
written in the book of the just the sun Stood Still in the middle of the sky and delayed its setting for almost a whole
39:43
day there was never a day like that before or since when Yahweh obeyed the
39:48
voice of a man for Yahweh was fighting for Israel Joshua and all Israel with
39:54
him then went back to the camp at gilgal as regards the five Kings these had fled
40:01
and hidden in the cave of Makita and news of this was brought to Joshua the
40:06
five Kings have been found hiding in the cave at Makita Joshua said roll great
40:12
Stones over the mouth of the cave and post men there to keep guard you yourselves do not stay there doing
40:19
nothing pursue the enemy cut off their line of retreat and do not let them enter their towns for Yahweh your God
40:26
has put them at your mercy Mercy when Joshua and the Israelites had finished inflicting a very great defeat on them
40:32
to the point of destroying them those who had escaped alive took refuge in their fortresses the people came back to
40:39
Joshua's camp at makida they were all safe and sound and no one dared to attempt anything against the Israelites
40:47
Joshua then said clear the mouth of the cave and bring the five Kings out to me
40:52
they did so and brought the five Kings out of the cave to take them to him the king of Jerusalem the king of Hein the
41:00
king of jth the king of Leakes and the king of eglon when these Kings have been brought out Joshua assembled all the men
41:08
of Israel and said to the chiefs of the Warriors who had fought with him come forward and put your feet on the necks
41:13
of these Kings they came forward and put their feet on their necks be fearless
41:19
and undaunted Joshua went on be strong and stand firm for this is how Yahweh
41:25
will deal with all the enemies you fight with this Joshua struck and killed them
41:30
and had them hanged on five trees they hung there till evening at the hour of
41:35
sunset on Joshua's orders they were taken down from the trees and thrown into the cave where they had been hiding
41:43

41:50
captured Mika putting it and its king to the sword he delivered them over to the curse of Destruction with every every
41:57
living creature there and let no one escape and he treated the king of Makita as he had treated the king of Jericho
42:04
Joshua and all Israel with him went on from aita to libna and attacked it and
42:09
Yahweh put this to and its king at Israel's mercy and Israel put every
42:14
living creature there to the sword and left none alive and treated its king like the king of Jericho Joshua and all
42:22
Israel with him went on from libna to Leakes and besieged it and attacked it
42:27
Yahweh put Leakes at Israel's mercy and Israel took it on the second day and put it and every living creature in it to
42:34
the sword as they had treated libna horam king of gazer then marched up to
42:39
help lakish but Joshua beat him and his people until not one was Left Alive
42:45
Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lakes to Egon they besieged it and
42:51
attacked it the same day they took it and put it to the sword that day he

43:18

Joshua conquered them from cadesh Baria to Gaza and the whole region of Goan as
44:14
far as gibian all these Kings in their territory Joshua captured in a single
44:19
campaign because Yahweh God of Israel fought for Israel and then Joshua and

gilgal Joshua chapter 11 when jabin King of

Sons but only daughters whose names were these Mala Noah hogla milka and tiza
1:08:24
these approached the priest eleazer Joshua son of nun and the leaders and
1:08:29
said Yahweh ordered Moses to give us a Heritage among our brothers in
1:08:35
compliance with yahweh's order therefore they were given a Heritage among their
1:08:40
father's Brothers in this way 10 portions fell to Manasseh apart from Gilead and Bashan lying on the further
1:08:47
side of the Jordan since manasseh's daughters received a Heritage as well as his sons Gilead itself belonged to
1:08:54

dor and of its dependent towns the inhabitants of tanak and megiddo and of their dependent towns the three of the
1:09:50
slopes but because the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these towns s the Canaanites managed to live on in
1:09:58
that territory when however the Israelites became stronger they subjected the Canaanites to force labor
1:10:05
though they never dispossessed them the sons of Joseph spoke as follows to Joshua why have you given me only one
1:10:12
share only one portion as Heritage when I am a numerous people since Yahweh has
1:10:18
so blessed me Joshua replied if your people are so many go up to the wooded
1:10:24
area and clear space face for yourselves in the area belonging to the perizzites in repy since the highlands of Ephraim
1:10:30
are too small for you the sons of Joseph replied the highlands are not enough for
1:10:36
us and what is more all the Canaanites living on the land of the plain have iron chariots so do those in Beth Sheen
1:10:43
and its dependent towns and those in the plain of Jezreel Joshua said to the house of Joseph to Ephraim and to
1:10:50
Manasseh you are a numerous people and your strength is great you will not only have have one share but a mountain will
1:10:57
be yours as well even if it is a forest you can clear it and its territories will be yours and you will dispossess
1:11:04
the Canaanites although they have iron chariots and although they are
1:11:14
strong Joshua chapter 18 the whole community of the Israelites assembled at
1:11:20
Shiloh and the tent of meeting was set up there the whole country had been subdued for them but among the
1:11:27
Israelites there were still seven tribes left who had not received their Heritage
1:11:32
Joshua then said to the Israelites how much more time are you going to waste before you go and take possession of the
1:11:38
country which Yahweh God of your ancestors has given to you choose three
1:11:44
men from each tribe for me to send all over the country so that they can make a survey with a view to their inheritances
1:11:49
and then come back to me they will divide the country into seven portions
1:11:54
Jew Judah will remain in his territory in the South and those of the House of Joseph will remain in their territory in
1:12:01
the north you must survey the country in seven sections and bring your findings to me here so that I can cast lots for
1:12:08
you here in the presence of Yahweh Our God the Levites however will have no

1:28:56
possession of it and settled in it Yahweh granted them Tranquility on all their Frontiers just as he had sworn to
1:29:02
their ancestors and of all their enemies not one succeeded in resisting them
1:29:08
Yahweh put all their enemies at their mercy of all the promises that Yahweh had made to the house of Israel not one
1:29:16
failed all were fulfilled
1:29:24
Joshua chapter 22 Joshua then summoned the reubenites the gadites and the Hal
1:29:30
tribe of Manasseh and said to them you have observed everything that Moses servant of Yahweh ordered you and
1:29:38
whenever I have given you an order you have listened to me you have not deserted your brothers from long ago
1:29:43
until today keeping the observance of the Commandment of Yahweh your God now
1:29:49
that Yahweh your God has granted your brothers the rest that he promised them go back to your your tents to the
1:29:55
country belonging to you which Moses servant of Yahweh gave you on the other side of the Jordan but take great care
1:30:02
to practice the Commandments and the law which Moses servant of Yahweh has given you to love Yahweh your God always to
1:30:10
follow his paths to keep his Commandments to be loyal to him and to serve him with all your heart and with
1:30:16
all your soul Joshua blessed them and sent them away and they went home to
1:30:21
their tents to one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a territory in
1:30:27
basan to the other half Joshua gave another among their brothers on the West Bank of the Jordan as Joshua sent them
1:30:34
home to their tents he blessed them and said to them you are going back to your tents with great wealth with a great
1:30:40
deal of livestock with silver and gold bronze and iron and great quantities of
1:30:45
clothing share The Spoils of your enemies with your brothers the reubenites the gites and the Hal tribe
1:30:52
of Manasseh returned home leaving the Israelites at Shiloh and Canaan and made for Gilead the territory which belonged
1:30:59
to them as a result of yahweh's order given through Moses when they came to the Stone Circle by the Jordan in
1:31:06
Canaanite territory the reubenites the gites and the halft tribe of Manasseh
1:31:11
built an altar there beside the Jordan a large imposing altar this came to the
1:31:16
ears of the Israelites look the word went round the reubenites the gites and the Hal tribe
1:31:23
of of Manasseh have built this altar on the Canaanites side near The Stone Circle by the Jordan on the Israelites
1:31:30
bank at this news the whole community of the Israelites mustered at Shiloh to
1:31:36
March against them and make war on them the Israelites sent the priest finah son of Eleazar to the reubenites the gites
1:31:43
and the Hal tribe of Manasseh in Gilead and with him 10 Leading Men One Man from
1:31:49
a leading family from each of the tribes of Israel each of them being head of his family family in the clans of Israel
1:31:55
having reached the reubenites the gites and the Hal tribe of Manasseh and Gilead they said this the whole community of
1:32:02
Israel says as follows what do you mean by this infidelity which you have committed against the god of Israel by
1:32:09
now repudiating your allegiance to Yahweh and by building yourselves an altar with the intention now of
1:32:14
rebelling against Yahweh was the crime which we committed at PE or so slight
1:32:19
although we have not managed to purify ourselves from that even now in spite of the plague which has ravaged the
1:32:25
community of Yahweh that you must now repudiate Your Allegiance to Yahweh for since you are in Rebellion against him
1:32:32
today tomorrow his anger will be aroused against the whole community of Israel is
1:32:37
the country in which you have settled unclean then cross over into the country where Yahweh has settled there where
1:32:44
yahweh's dwelling now stands and settle among us but do not rebel against Yahweh
1:32:50
or involve us in your Rebellion by building a rival altar to the altar of Yahweh Our God when aan son of Zer was
1:32:58
unfaithful to The Curse Of Destruction did not the retribution come down on the whole community of Israel although he
1:33:05
was only one man did he not have to die for his crime the reubenites the gites
1:33:11
and the Hal tribe of Manasseh spoke in their turn and answered the heads of the clans of Israel the god of gods Yahweh
1:33:18
the god of gods Yahweh well knows and let Israel know it too if there has been
1:33:24
Rebellion or infidelity to Yahweh on our part may he refuse to save us today and
1:33:29
if we have built ourselves an altar with the intention of repudiating our allegiance to Yahweh and of presenting
1:33:34
burnt offering and oblation or of offering communion sacrifices on it may yahe himself call us to account for it
1:33:42
the truth is we have done this as a precaution in the future your descendants might say to ours what
1:33:49
connection do you have with Yahweh God of Israel has not Yahweh said at the frontier of the Jordan between us and
1:33:55
you you reubenites and gites you have no share in Yahweh thus your descendants
1:34:03
would be the cause of stopping Ours from fearing Yahweh so we said to each other
1:34:08
let us build this altar not for burnt offerings or other sacrifices but as a witness between us and you and between
1:34:14
our descendants after us attesting that we too have the right to worship Yahweh in his presence with our burnt offerings
1:34:22
our victims and our communion iion sacrifices and so in the future your descendants will not be able to say to
1:34:29
ours you have no share in Yahweh and we furthermore said If ever it were to
1:34:35
happen that they did say this either to us or to our descendants in the future we should Reply look at the structure yahweh's
1:34:42
altar made by our ancestors not for burnt offerings or other sacrifices but as a witness between us and you far be
1:34:50
it from us to rebel against Yahweh or now to repudiate our Allegiance to Yahweh by building an altar for burnt
1:34:56
offerings or oblations or sacrifices in rivalry with the altar of Yahweh Our God
1:35:01
that stands before his dwelling when the priest finus the leaders of the community and the heads of the clans of
1:35:07
Israel who were with him heard the word spoken by the gites the reubenites and
1:35:12
the manassah sites they approved of them the priest finus son of Eleazar then said to the reubenites the gites and the
1:35:19
manassah sites today we can see that Yahweh is Among Us since you have not been unfaithful to
1:35:26
Yahweh in this matter this means that you have spared the Israelites from yahweh's avenging hand the priest finah
1:35:32
son of Eleazar and the leaders left the reubenites and the gites and went back from Gilead to Canaan and the Israelites
1:35:39
to whom they reported the answer the Israelites were pleased to hear this the Israelites gave thanks to God and spoke
1:35:46
no more of marching against them to make war on them and to ravage the country inhabited by the reubenites and the
1:35:52
gites the reu UB benites and the gites called The Altar because they said it
1:35:58
will be a witness between us that Yahweh is
1:36:05
God Joshua chapter 23 now long after
1:36:10
Yahweh had given Israel rest from all the enemy surrounding them Joshua was old now far advanced in years Joshua
1:36:18
summoned all Israel their Elders leaders judges and officials and said to them I
1:36:24
myself am old far advanced in years you for your part have witnessed all that Yahweh your God has done to all these
1:36:30
nations for your sake Yahweh your God himself has fought for you look these nations still remaining and all the
1:36:37
nations which I have exterminated from the Jordan all the way to the great sea in the west I have allotted to you as
1:36:43
the Heritage for your tribes Yahweh your God will himself drive them out before you he will dispossess them before you
1:36:50
and you will take possession of their country as Yahweh your God has promised you so be very firm about keeping and
1:36:57
doing everything written in the book of the law of Moses not swerving from that either to right or to left never mix
1:37:04
with the peoples who are still left beside you do not utter the names of their gods do not swear by them do not
1:37:12
serve them and do not bow down to them on the contrary you must be loyal to
1:37:17
Yahweh your God as you have been till now Yahweh has dispossessed great and
1:37:22
powerful Nations before you and no one so far has been able to resist you one
1:37:28
man of you was able to route a thousand of them since Yahweh your God was himself fighting for you as he had
1:37:35
promised you be very careful as you value your life to love Yahweh your God
1:37:41
but should you in any way relapse if you make friends with a remnant of these nations still living beside you if you
1:37:47
inter marry with them if you mix with them and they with you then know for certain that Yahweh your God will stop
1:37:53
dispossessing these nations before you and for you there will be a snare a pitfall thorns in your sides and
1:37:59
thistles in your eyes until you vanish from this fine country given you by Yahweh your God today you see I am going
1:38:07
the way of all the Earth acknowledge with all your heart and soul that of all the promises made to you by Yahweh your
1:38:13
God not one has failed all have been fulfilled not one has failed as every
1:38:19
promise made to you by Yahweh your God has been fulfilled for you by the same token Yahweh will fulfill all his
1:38:25
threats against you even to Exterminating you from this fine country given you by Yahweh your God for if you
1:38:32
violate the Covenant which Yahweh your God has imposed on you if you go and serve other gods and bow down to them
1:38:39
then yah's anger will be roused against you and you will quickly vanish from the fine country which he has given
1:38:49
you Joshua chapter 24 Joshua gathered
1:38:54
all the tribes of Israel together at sheam he then summoned all the Elders of Israel its leaders judges and officials
1:39:02
and they presented themselves in God's presence Joshua then said to all the people Yahweh the god of Israel says
1:39:10
this from time immemorial your ancestors Tura father of Abraham and Nahar lived
1:39:17
beyond the river and served other gods I then brought your ancestor Abraham from
1:39:22
beyond the river and led him through the length and breadth of Canaan I increased his descendants and I gave him Isaac to
1:39:30
Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau to Esau I gave possession of the mountainous
1:39:35
country of seir Jacob and his sons went down into Egypt I then sent Moses and
1:39:42
Aaron and plagued Egypt with the Wonders that I worked there finally I brought
1:39:47
you out I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and you came to the Sea the
1:39:52
Egyptians sued your ancestors with chariots and Horsemen to the Sea of reeds they then called to Yahweh and he
1:40:00
spread a thick fog between you and the Egyptians and made the sea go back on them and cover them you saw with your
1:40:07
own eyes what I did in Egypt then for a long while you lived in the desert I
1:40:13
then brought you into the country of the amorites who used to live on the further side of the Jordan they made war on you
1:40:19
and I put them at your mercy after which you took possession of the their country since I destroyed them before you next
1:40:27
balac son of zippier King of Moab Rose to make war on Israel and sent for balam
1:40:33
Son of beer to come and curse you but I would not listen to balam instead he had
1:40:39
to bless you and I saved you from his power you then crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho but the inhabitants of
1:40:46
Jericho made war on you amorites perizzites Canaanites Hittites jurgos
1:40:52
sites hivites and jebusites and I put them all at your mercy I sent Hornets ahead of
1:40:58
you which drove out the two Amorite Kings before you this was not the work
1:41:03
of your sword or of your bow and now I have given you a country for which you have not toiled towns you have not built
1:41:11
although you live in them Vineyards and Olive Groves you have not planted although you eat their fruit so now fear
1:41:18
Yahweh and serve him truly and sincerely banish the gods whom your ancestors serve beyond the river and in
1:41:25
Egypt and serve Yahweh but if serving Yahweh seems a bad thing to you today
1:41:30
you must make up your minds whom you do mean to serve whether the gods whom your ancestors served beyond the river or the
1:41:37
gods of the amorites in whose country you are now living as regards my family and me We Shall Serve Yahweh the people
1:41:45
replied far be it from us to Desert Yahweh and to serve other gods Yahweh
1:41:50
Our God was the one who brought us in our ancestors here from Egypt from the place of slave labor who worked those
1:41:57
great wonders before our eyes and who kept us safe all along the way we traveled and among all the peoples
1:42:02
through whom we passed and Yahweh has driven all the nations out for us including the amorites who used to live
1:42:09
in the country we Too Shall Serve Yahweh for he is our God Joshua then said to
1:42:15
the people you will not be able to serve Yahweh since he is a holy God he is a
1:42:21
jealous God who will not tolerate either your misdeeds or your sins if you desert
1:42:26
Yahweh and serve the Foreigner Gods he will turn and maltreat you a new and in
1:42:31
spite of having been good to you in the past will destroy you the people replied
1:42:36
to Joshua no Yahweh is the one we mean to serve Joshua then said to the people
1:42:43
you are witnesses to yourselves that you have chosen Yahweh to serve him they
1:42:49
replied Witnesses we are then banished the foreign Gods which you have with you
1:42:54
and give your allegiance to Yahweh God of Israel the people replied to Joshua
1:43:00
Yahweh our God is the one whom We Shall Serve his voice we shall obey that day
1:43:06
Joshua made a covenant for the people he laid down a statute and ordinance for them at sheam Joshua wrote these words
1:43:14
in the book of The Law of God he then took a large Stone and set it up there
1:43:19
under the oak tree in yahweh's sanctuary Joshua then said to all the people look
1:43:25
this Stone will be a witness to us since it has heard all the words that Yahweh has spoken to us it will be a witness
1:43:32
against you in case you should deny your God Joshua then dismissed the people
1:43:37
everyone to his own Heritage after this Joshua son of nun servant of Yahweh died
1:43:45
he was 110 years old he was buried on the estate which he had received as his Heritage at Timnath Sarah which lies in
1:43:53
the highlands of Ephraim north of Mount gash Israel served Yahweh throughout the
1:43:59
lifetime of Joshua and throughout the lifetime of those Elders who outlived Joshua and had known all the Deeds which
1:44:05
Yahweh had done for the sake of Israel as regards the bones of Joseph which the
1:44:10
Israelites had brought from Egypt these were buried at sheam in the plot of ground which Jacob had bought for a 100
