NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher we use John teaches), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet we
use The apple tastes sweet), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man we use God blesses the man). By performing these linguistic procedures,
we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers
The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%
phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.
Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable
elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble
continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as
they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

the waters which flowed down from above stood and rose up in one heap, a great distance
away at Adam, the city that lies beside Zarethan; and those which flowed down toward
the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, completely stopped. So the people crossed opposite
Jericho.
vaja-amdu hamajim hajordim milmala kamu ned ad harek m-od

and stood the waters that came down from above rose up heap on a far very

18
al jam ha-arava jam hamla tamu niratu vha-am

toward the sea of the plain sea [even] the Salt failed were cut off and the people
avru ngd jrio

passed over right against Jericho.
17
And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in
the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had
finished crossing the Jordan.
vaja-amdu hakohanim nos-e ha-aron brit jav barava

And stood the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD on dry

in the middle of Jordan firm and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground

until that clean all the people were passed Jordan.
Joshua 4 (Back)

1
Now when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
vajhi ka-asr tamu al hago la-avor t hajarden

and it camp to pass when were clean all the people passed over Jordan
vajomr jav l jho-ua lemor

19
3
and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the

over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight.'"

And command you them saying Take to from here out of the middle

and you shall carry them over with and with you and leave in the lodging
ar talinu vo halajla

4
So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man
from each tribe;
vajikra jhou-a l nem h-asar i ar hein

Then called Joshua called the two and ten men whom he had prepared
mibne jisra-el i ad i ad miavt

from the sons of Israel out of every tribes a man out of every from each one tribe.
5
and Joshua said to them, "Cross again to the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the
Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the
tribes of the sons of Israel.
vajomr lahm jhou-a ivru lifne aron jav lohem l

and said to Joshua Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into

20
6
"Let you acknowledge this as a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying,
'What do these stones mean to you?'
lma-an tij zot ot bkirbm ki jialun bnem

to the end that may be this a sign among you when ask [that] your children
maar lemor ma ha-avanim ha-el lam

[their fathers] in time to come saying what stones you ? by these to.
7
then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan stopped before the ark of the
covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan ceased.' So
these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever."
va-amartm lahm ar nirtu meme hajarden mipne

Then you shall answer to them That were cut off the waters of Jordan before

the ark of the covenant of the LORD when it passed over Jordan were cut off
me hajarden vhaju ha-avanim ha-el lzikaron livne

the waters of Jordan and shall be stones these for a memorial to the sons
jisra-el ad olam
of Israel for even.
8
Thus the sons of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle
of the Jordan, just as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of
the sons of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging place and put them
down there.
vaja-asu en bne jisra-el ka-ar tsiva jho-ou-a vajis-u

so did the children of Israel as commanded Joshua and took up
te sre avanim mito hajarden ka-ar dibr jav l

two and ten stones from the middle of Jordan as spoke as the LORD unto

Joshua according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel and carried them over
imam l hamalon vajanium am

with them unto the place where they lodged and laid them down there.
21
9
Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan at the place where the feet of the
priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant stood, and they stand there to this day.
utem sre avanim hekim jho-ou-a bto hajarden taat

and two and ten stones set up Joshua in the middle of Jordan in the place
matsav ragle hakohanim nos-e aron habrit

at the place where the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant
vajiju am ad hajom haz

and they are there to day this.
10
For the priests who carried the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan until everything had
reached completion that the LORD had commanded Joshua to speak to the people,
according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hurried and crossed;
vhakohanim nose-e ha-aron omdim bto hajarden ad tom

For the priests that bore the ark stood in the middle of Jordan until was finished

Every that commanded that the LORD Joshua to speak unto

the people according to all that commanded Moses Joshua the people

and passed over.
11
and when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of the LORD and the priests crossed
before the people.
vajhi ka-ar tam kal ha-am la-avor vaja-avor

and it came to pass when were clean all the people passed over that passed over
aron jav vhakohanim lifne ha-am

the ark of the LORD and the priests in the presence of the people.
22
12
The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over in
battle array before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had spoken to them;
vaja-avru bne r-uven uvne gad vaatsi evt

And passed over the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and half the tribes
hamna amuim lifne bne jisra-el ka-asr dibr alehm mo

of Manasseh armed before the children of Israel as spoke unto as Moses.
13
about 40,000 equipped for war, crossed for battle before the LORD to the desert plains of
Jericho.
k-arba-im lf alutse hatsava avru lifne jav lamilama

About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD for battle
l arvot jrio
unto the plains of Jericho.
14
On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; so that they revered him, just
as they had revered Moses all the days of his life.
bajom hahu gidal jav t jhou-a b-ene kal jisra-el

on the day that magnified the LORD Joshua in the sight all Israel
vajir-u oto ka-ar jar-u t mo kal jme ajav

and they feared him as they feared Moses all the days of his life.
15
Now the LORD said to Joshua,
vajomr jav l jho-oua lemor

And spoke the LORD unto Joshua saying.
16
"Command the priests who carry the ark of the testimony that they come up from the
Jordan."
tsav t hakohanim nos-e aron ha-edut vja-alu

Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony that they come up
min hajarden
out of Jordan.
23
17
So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, "Come up from the Jordan."
vajtsav jho-ou-a t hakohanim lemor alu min hajarden

therefore commanded Joshua the priests saying Come you up out of Jordan.
18
It came about when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come
up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet walked up to the dry
ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks as
before.
vajhi ka-alot hakohanim nos-e aron brit

And it came to pass came up when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant
jav mito hajarden nitku kapot ragle hakohamim

of the LORD out of the middle of Jordan were lifted up the soles feet of the priest
l harava vajauvu me hajorden limkomam vajelu

unto the dry land that returned the waters of Jordan to their place and flowed
itmol ilom al kal gdotav

as [they did] before. over his banks.
19
Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at
Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho.
vha-am alu min hajarden b-asor laod harion

And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of the month first
vajaanu bagilgal biktse mizra jrio

and camped at Gilgal border on the eastern of Jericho.
20
Those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set up at Gilgal.
v-et tem sre ha-avanim ha-el ar laku min hajarden hekim

and two and ten stones those that they took out of Jordan pitch
jho-ou-a bagilgal

24
21
He said to the sons of Israel, "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying,
'What significance do these stones have?'
vajomr l bne jisra-el lemor ar jialun bnem

And he spoke unto the sons of Israel saying When shall ask your children
maar t avotam lemor ma ha-avanim ha-el

22
then you shall inform your children, saying, 'Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.'

and know Then you shall let your children saying on dry came over Israel

23
"For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed,
just as the LORD your God had done to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until
we had crossed;

25
Joshua 5 (Back)
Israel Undergoes Circumcision

1
Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan to the
west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who lived by the sea, heard how the LORD had
dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that
their hearts melted, and there remained no spirit in them any longer because of the sons
of Israel.
vajhi ismo-a kal male ha-emori ar b-evr

And it came to pass heard all the kings of the Amorites that [were] on the side
hajarden jama val male hakna-ani ar al hajam t

of Jordan westward and all the kings of the Canaanites that by [were] the sea
ar hovi jav t me hajarden mipne vne

that had dried up the LORD the water of Jordan from before the children
jisra-el ad avram vajimas lvavam vlo haja vam od

of Israel until we were passed over that melted their heart neither was in them any more
ru-a mipne bne jisra-el

there spirit because of the sons of Israel.
2
At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make for yourself flint knives and circumcise again
the sons of Israel the second time."
ba-et hahi amar jav l jho-ou-a ase la arvot tsurim

At that time At that said the LORD unto Joshua Make to knives you sharp
vuv mol t bne jisra-el enit

and again circumcise the children of Israel the second.
3
So Joshua made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
vaja-as lo jho-ou-a arvot tsurim vajamal t bne

and made to Joshua knives him sharp and circumcised the children
jisra-el l givat ha-aralot

of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
26
4
Joshua circumcised them because all the males who had come out of Egypt, all the men of
war, had died in the wilderness along the way after they came out of Egypt.
vz hadavar ar mal jho-ou-a kal ha-am hajotse

And this [is] the cause why did circumcise Joshua All the people that came out
mimitsrajim hazarim kol ane hamilama metu vamidbar

of Egypt [that were] males all [even] all the men of war died in the wilderness
badr btsetam mimitsrajim

by the way after they came out of Egypt.
5
For all the people who came out had undergone circumcision, but all the people born in the
wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not undergone circumcision.
ki mulim haju kal ha-am hajots-im val ha-am hajilodim

Now circumcised were all the people that came out but all the people [that were] born
bamidbar badr btsetam mimitsrajim lo malu

in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt not [had] them circumcised.
6
For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, namely, the
men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of
the LORD, to whom the LORD had sworn that He would not let them see the land which
the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
ki arba-im ana halu vne jisra-el bamidbar ad tom

For forty years walked For the sons of Israel in the wilderness until were consumed
kal hago ane hamilama hajots-im mimitsrajim ar lo am-u

all the people men of war that came out of Egypt because not they obeyed
bkol jav ar niba jav lahm lvilti

to the voice of the LORD to whom swore the LORD to that he would not
harotam t ha-arts ar niba jav la-avotam latt lanu

show them the land that swore the LORD to their fathers to give to us
ha-rts zavat atav udva

a land that flows with milk and honey.
27
7
Their children whom He raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they remained
uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them along the way.
v-t bnehm hekim tatam otam mal

and their children [whom] he raised up in their stead circumcised them
jho-ou-a ki arelim haju ki lo malu

Joshua for they were uncircumcised they were because not [are] circumcised
otam badar
them by the way.
8
Now when they had finished circumcising all the nation, they remained in their places in the
camp until they healed.
vajhi ka-ar tamu al hago lhimol vajevu

and it came to pass when they had done all the people circuncising that they stayed
tatam banaan ad hajotam

in their places in the camp until they were whole.
9
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you."
So they named that place Gilgal which people still call to this day.
vajomr jav l jho-ou-a hajom galoti t rpat

And said the LORD unto Joshua This day have I rolled away the reproach
mitsrajim me-alem vajikra em hamakom hahu gilgal ad

of Egypt from off and is called you Why the name of the place he Gilgal to
hajom haz
day this.
10
While the sons of Israel camped at Gilgal they observed the Passover on the evening of the
fourteenth day of the month on the desert plains of Jericho.
vajaanu vne jisra-el bagilgal vaja-asu t hapsa b-arba-a

And camped the children of Israel at Gilgal and kept the Passover of the four
asar jom laod ba-rv b-arvot jrio

and tenth day of the month evening on the wilderness of Jericho.
28
11
On the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land,
unleavened cakes and parched grain.
vajolu me-avur ha-arts mimaorat hapsa matsot

And they did eat of the produce of the land On the day the Passover unleavened bread
vkalui b-tsm hajom haz

and parched on that very on that day same way.
12
The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that
the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of
Canaan during that year.
vajibot haman mimaorat b-alam me-avur ha-arts vlo

And ceased the manna on the day after they had eaten of old grain of the land neither
haja od livne jisra-el man vajolu mitvu-at rts

had any more the children of Israel manna but they did eat of the produce of the land
kna-an baana hahi

of Canaan year that.
13
Now it came about when Joshua stood by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and
behold, a man stood opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to
him and said to him, "Do you fight for us or for our adversaries?"
vajhi bijot jho-ou-a birio vajisa enav

And it came to pass was when Joshua was by Jericho that he lifted up his eyes
vajar vhine i omed lngdo varbo lufa

and looked and behold a man there stood over against him with his sword drawn
bjado vajel jho-ou-a elav vajomr lo halanu ata im

in his hand and went Joshua unto him and said to you or
ltsarenu
for our adversaries?
29
14
He said, "No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD." And Joshua fell
on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to
his servant?"
vajomr lo ki ani sar tsva jav ata vati

And he said not for am I [as] captain of the host of the LORD now come
vajipol jho-ou-a l panav artsa vajitahu

And fell Joshua on his face to the earth and did worship
vajomr lo ma adoni mdaber l avdo

and said to him What has my lord to say unto his servant?
15
The captain of the LORD'S host said to Joshua, "Remove your sandals from your feet, for
the place where you stand you will acknowledge as holy." And Joshua did so.
vajomr sar tsva jav l jho-ou-a al na-ala

And said the captain host of the LORD unto Joshua Loose your shoe
me-al ragla ki hamakom ar ata omed alav kod hu

from off your foot for the place on that you stand on that [is] holy he
vaja-as jho-ou-a ken

And did Joshua so.
Joshua 6 (Back)
The Conquest of Jericho

1
Now Jericho had tightly fortified itself because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no
one came in.
virio sogrt umsugrt mipne bne jisra-el en jotse

Now Jericho was straightly and shut up because of the sons of Israel none went out
v-en ba
and none came in.
30
2
The LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the
valiant warriors.
vajomr jav l jho-ou-a r-e natati vjada t

And said the LORD unto Joshua See I have given imto your hand
jrio v-t malka gibore hajil

Jericho and with its king mighty men of valor.
3
"You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so
for six days.
vsabotm t ha-ir kol ane hamilama hakef t ha-ir pa-am

And you shall edge the city all men of war go around the city once
at ko ta-as et jamim
Thus shall you do six days.
4
"Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark; then on the

trumpets.

And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams horns before the ark
uvajom havi-i tasobu t ha-ir va p-amim vhakohanim

and the day seventh you shall edge the city seven times and the priests
jitk-u baofarot
shall blow with the trumpets.
5
"It shall come to pass that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you
hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall
of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead."
vhaja bimo bkrn hakovel

and it shall come to pass when they make a long blast horn of [blast] with the ram

with a great with a great and shall fall down the wall of the city flat
v-alu ha-am i ngdo

and shall ascend up the people every man straight before.
31
6
So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the
covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the
LORD."
vajikra jho-ou-a bin nun l hakohanim vajomr alehm s-u

And called Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said unto them Take up
t aron habrit viva ohanim jis-u iva ofrot jovlim

the ark of the covenant and let seven priests let seven trumpets of rams horns
lifne aron jav

before the ark of the LORD.
7
Then he said to the people, "Go forward, and march around the city, and let the armed men go
on before the ark of the LORD."
vajomr l ha-am ivru vsobu t ha-ir vhalus

he said unto the people Pass on and edge the city and let him who is armed
ja-avor lifne aron jav

pass on on before the ark of the LORD.
8
And it came to pass, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the
seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward and blew the trumpets; and
the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
vajhi k-mor jho-oua l ha-am viva hakohanim

And it came to pass had spoken when Joshua unto the people that the seven priests
nos-im iva ofrot hajovlim lifne jav avru vtak-u

bearing the seven trumpets of rams horns before the LORD passed on and blew
baofarot va-aron brit jav hole aarehm

with the trumpets and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
32
9
The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after
the ark, while they continued to blow the trumpets.
vhaluts hole lifne hakohanim tok-u haofarot

And the armed men men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets
vhamasef hole aare ha-aron halo vtako-a

and the rearward came after the ark [the priests] going on and blowing
baofarot
with the trumpets.
10
But Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout nor let them hear your voice
nor let a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you, 'Shout!' Then you shall
shout!"
v-t ha-am tsiva jho-ou-a lemor lo tari-u vlo

and the people had commanded Joshua saying not shall you shout nor
tami-u t kolm vlo jetse mipim davar

make any noise your voice neither proceed out out of your mouth shall [any] word
ad jom amri alem hari-u vahari-otm

until the day I bid about you shout then shall you shout.
11
So he had the ark of the LORD taken around the city, circling it once; then they came into
the camp and spent the night in the camp.
vajasev aron jav t ha-ir hakef pa-am at

so compassed the ark of the LORD the city going about once
vajavo-u hamaan vajalinu bamaan

and the camp into the camp and lodged in the camp.
12
Now Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
vajaem jho-ou-a babokr vajisu hakohanim t aron jav

And rose early Joshua in the morning and took up the priests the ark of the LORD.
33
13
The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD
went on continually, and blew the trumpets; and the armed men went before them and the
rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while they continued to blow the trumpets.
viva hakohanim nos-im iv-a ofrot hajovlim lifne aron

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams horns before the ark
jav holim halo vtak-u baofarot vhaluts

hole lifnehm vhamasef hole aare aare aron jav

went before them but the rearward came came after the ark of the LORD
halo vtako-a asofarot

going on and blowing with the trumpets.
14
Thus the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp; they did
so for six days.
vajasobu t ha-ir bajom haeni pa-am aat vajauvu

and they compassed the city day the second once and returned
hamaan ko asu et jamim

into the camp so they did six days.
15
Then on the seventh day they rose early at the dawning of the day and marched around the
city in the same manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven
times.
vajhi bajom havi-i vajakimu ka-alot

And it came to pass on the day seventh that they rose early at the dawning
haaar vajasobu t ha-ir kamipat haz va p-amim rak

of the day and compressed the city manner after the same seven times only
bajom hahu savvu t ha-ir va p-amim

on that day he they compassed the city seven times.
34
16
At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout!
For the LORD has given you the city.
vajhi bapa-am havi-it tak-u hakohanim baofarot

And it came to pass time At the seventh blew when the priests with the trumpets
vajomr jho-ou-a l ha-am hari-u ki natan jav lam t ha-ir

and said Joshua unto the people Shout for has given for the LORD to you the city.
17
"The city shall fall under the ban, it and all that live in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab
the harlot and all who live with her in the house shall live, because she hid the
messengers whom we sent.
vhajta ha-ir erm hi val ar ba jav rak raav

And shall be the city accursed it [is] that all in to the LORD only Rahab
hazona tij hi val ar ita babajit ki hb-ata

the harlot shall live she that all with [are] her in the house because she hid

the messengers that we sent.
18
"But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not covet
them and take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed
and bring trouble on it.
vrak atm imru min haerm pn

And you in any way you keep from [yourselves] the accursed thing lest

[yourselves] you make accursed when you take of the accursed thing and make

the camp of Israel a curse and trouble .
19
"But all the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they shall
go into the treasury of the LORD."
vol ksf vzahav ule not uvarzl kod hu

But all the silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron [are] consecrated he
jav otsar jav javo

to the LORD into the treasury of the LORD they shall come.
35
20
So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound
of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that
the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city.
vajara ha-am vajitk-u baofarot vajhi

so shouted the people [the priests] when blew with the trumpets and it came to pass
kimo-a ha-am t kol haofar vajari-u ha-am

heard when the people the sound of the trumpet and shouted the people

shout with a great that fell down the wall flat and went up so that the people

into the city every man straight before him and they took the city.
21
They utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox
and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

And they utterly destroyed all that in the city both man and women young
v-ad zaken v-ad or vas vaamor lfi arv

and old and ox and sheep and donkey with the edge of the sword.
22
Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the harlot's house and bring
the woman and all she has out of there, as you have sworn to her."
vlinajim ha-anaim hamraglim t ha-arts amar jho-ou-a

and to the two men that had spied out the country had said But Joshua
bo-u bet ha-ia hazona vhotsi-u miam t ha-ia v-t

Go house the women of the harlot and bring out there the woman and
kal ar ta ka-ar nibatm ta

all that to as you swore to.
36
23
So the young men who had spied went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her
mother and her brothers and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives and placed
them outside the camp of Israel.
vajavo-u han-arim hamraglim vajotsi-u t raav v-t

And went in the young men that were spies and brought out Rahab and her
aviha v-t ima v-t aha v-t kal ar la v-et kal

father and her mother and her brothers and all that to and all her
mipotha hotsi-u vajanium miuts lmaane jisra-el

kindred and they brought out and left them outside the camp of Israel.
24
They burned the city with fire, and all its contents. Only the silver and gold, and articles of
bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
vha-ir sarfu va-e val ar ba rak haksf vhazahav

And the city they burnt with fire that all in only [was] the silver and the gold
ule hanot vhabarzl natnu otsar bet jav

and the vessels of bronze and of iron they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD
25
However, Joshua spared Rahab the harlot and her fathers household and all she had; she has
lived in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy
out Jericho.
v-t raav hazona v-t bet v-t kal ar la hja jhou-a

and Rahab the harlot and her household and all that to saved Joshua
vatev bkrv jisra-el ad hajom haz ki hbia t

and she dwells in the midst Israel to [even] day this because she hid
hamalaim ar ala jho-ou-a lragel t jrio

the messengers that sent Joshua to spy Jericho.
37
26
Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, The LORD will curse the man who
rises up and builds this city Jericho; with (the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its
foundation, and with (the loss of) his youngest son he shall set up its gates.
vajaba jho-ou-a ba-et hahi lemor arur ha-i lifne

And adjured Joshua at that time at that saying Cursed [are] the man before

the that rises up and builds city this Jericho with [the loss of] his firstborn
jjasdna uvit-iro jatsiv dlatha

he shall lay the foundation and in his youngest [son] the gates.
27
So the LORD remained with Joshua, and his fame spread in all the land.
vajhi jav t jho-ou-a vajhi am-o bal ha-arts

so was the LORD with Joshua and was his fame throughout all the country
Joshua 7 (Back)
Israel Receives Defeat at Ai

1
But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the
son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of
the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of
Israel.
vajimalu vne jisra-el ma-al baerm vajika

But committed the children of Israel a trespass in regard to the things and took
aan bn karmi vn zra lmate jhuda min

for Achan the son of Carmi the son of Zerah from the tribe of Judah of

the accursed thing and was kindled the anger of the LORD against the sons of Israel.
38
2
Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which lies near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said
to them, "Go up and spy out the land." So the men went up and spied out Ai.
vajila jho-ou-a anaim mirio ha-aj ar im bet avn

And sent Joshua men from Jericho to Ai that [is] beside in Beth-aven

on the east side to of Bethel and spoke unto them saying Go up and view
ha-arts vaja-alu ha-anaim vajraglu t ha-aj

the country and went up the men and viewed Ai.
3
They returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; only about two or
three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they
appear few."
vajauvu l jho-ou-a vajomru elav al ja-al kal

And they returned unto Joshua and said unto him not let go up [will] let all

the people thousand men or three thousand men go up and strike Ai
al tjaga ama t kal ha-am ki m-at hema

make not do to labor there all the people for they are few they.
4
So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of
Ai.
vaja-alu min ha-am ama kilot alafim i vajanusu

so there went up of the people there about three thousand men and they fled
lifne ane ha-aj

before the men of Ai.
5
The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them from the gate as
far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted
and became as water.
vajaku mehm ane ha-aj kiloim via i vajirdfum

and struck like the men of Ai them about thirty and six the men for they chased
lifne haa-ar ad havarim vajakum bamorad vajimas

them before the gate to Shebarim and struck on the descent and melted
39
lvav ha-am vajhi lmajim

Why the hearts of the people and became as water.
6
Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until
the evening, both he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.
vajikra jho-ou-a simlotav vajipol al panav artsa lifne aron

And tore Joshua his clothes and fell on his face to the earth before the ark
jav ad ha-rv hu vzikne jisra-el vaja-alu afar al roam

of the LORD until the eventide he and the elders of Israel and put dust on their heads.
7
Joshua said, "Alas, O Lord GOD, why did You ever bring this people over the Jordan, only
to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? If only we had shown
willingness to dwell beyond the Jordan!
vajomr jho-ou-a aha adonaj jav lama he-avarta ha-avir t ha-am

And said Joshua Alas O Lord God why have you at al over people

"O Lord, what can I say since Israel has turned their back before their enemies?

O Lord what shall I say when turns Israel their backs before their enemies!
9
"For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and they will surround

and shall environ us round and cut off our name from the earth and what

10
So the LORD said to Joshua, "Rise up! Why have you fallen on your face?
vajomr jav l jho-ou-a kum la lama z ata nofel

And said the LORD unto Joshua Get you up to Why thus you lie

on your face?
11
"Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them.
And they have even taken some of the things under the ban and have both stolen and
deceived. Moreover, they have also put them among their own things.

them for the have even taken of the accursed thing and have also stolen

and also dissembled and even they have put [it] among their own goods.
12
"Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before
their enemies, for they have become accursed. I will not remain with you anymore unless
you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.
vlo julu bne jisra-el lakum lifne ojvehm orf

41
13
"Rise up! Consecrate the people and say, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for thus the
LORD, the God of Israel, has said, " I detect things under the ban in your midst, O Israel.
You cannot stand before your enemies until you have removed the things under the ban

14
'In the morning then you shall come near by your tribes. And it shall come to pass that the

The Sin of Achan

16
So Joshua arose early in the morning and brought Israel near by tribes, and the tribe of
Judah underwent inspection.
vajakem jho-ou-a babokr vajakrev t jisra-el livatav

so rose up early Joshua in the morning and brought Israel by tribes

and was taken the tribes of Judah.
17
He brought the family of Judah near, and he took the family of the Zerahites; and he brought
the family of the Zerahites near man by man, and Zabdi underwent inspection.

And he brought the family of Judah and he took the family of the Zarhites

And he brought his household man and was taken Achan the son of Carmi

the son of Zabdi the son of Zerah from the tribe of Judah.

Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I implore you, give glory to the LORD, the God of
Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from
me."
vajomr jho-ou-a l aan bni sim na aod jav lohe

of Israel and make to confession and tell me now to what you have done not

43
20
So Achan answered Joshua and said, "Truly, I have sinned against the LORD, the God of
Israel, and this I did:
vaja-an aan t jho-ou-a vajomar amna anoi atati

And answered Achan Joshua and said Indeed I have sinned
jav lohe jisra-el vazot vazot asiti

against the LORD God of Israel and thus have I done.
21
when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar and two hundred shekels of
silver and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I coveted them and took them; and
behold, I concealed them in the earth inside my tent with the silver underneath it."
va-er vaalal adrt inar aat tova umatajim

When I saw among the spoil garment a Babylonish goodly and two hundred

then I coveted them and took them behold [are] they hid in the earth in the middle

22
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, they found it concealed in
his tent with the silver underneath it.
vajila jho-ou-a malaim vajarutsu ha-ohla vhine tmuna

so sent Joshua messengers and they ran to the tent and behold [it was] hid

in his tent and the silver under.
23
They took them from inside the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel,
and they poured them out before the LORD.
vajikaum mito ha-ohl vajvi-um l jho-ou-a

And they took them out of the middle of the tent and brought them unto Joshua
v-l kal bne jisra-el vajatsikum lifne jav

and unto all the children of Israel and laid them out before the LORD.
44
24
Then Joshua and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the mantle, the
bar of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent and all that
belonged to him; and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.

25
Joshua said, "Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you this day." And all
Israel stoned them with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them
with stones.

and after they had stoned them with stones.
26
They raised over him a great heap of stones that stands to this day, and the LORD turned

which people still call to this day.

Joshua 8 (Back)
The Conquest of Ai
1
Now the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear or feel dismayed Take all the people of war with
you and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his
city, and his land.
vajomr jav l jho-ou-a al tira v-al teat

And said the LORD unto Joshua not [have] Fear neither [are] you dismayed

see I have given into your hand the king of Ai and his people and

2
"You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its
spoil and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."
v-asita la-aj ulmalka ka-ar asita lirio ulmalka rak

lala uvhnta tavozu lam sim la

the spoil and the livestock shall you take for a prey to lay to you
orev la-ir me-aarha

an ambush for the city behind.
3
So Joshua rose with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose 30,000 men,
valiant warriors, and sent them out at night.
vajakam jho-ou-a val am hamilama la-alot ha-aj vajivar

so arose Joshua and all the people of war to go against Ai and chose out
jho-ou-a loim lf i gibore haajil vajilaem lajla

Joshua thirty thousand men mighty of valor and sent them away by night.
46
4
He commanded them, saying, "See, you will ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very
far from the city, but all of you remain ready.
vajtsav otam lemor r-u atm orvim la-ir

And he commanded them saying Behold you shall lie in wait against the city
me-aare ha-ir al tariku min ha-ir m-od vijitm kulm nonim

from behind the city not [will] go behind the city very but be you all ready.
5
"Then I and all the people who accompany me will approach the city. And when they come
out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.
va-ani val ha-am ar iti nikrav l ha-ir vhaja

And I and all the people that with will approach unto the city and it shall come to pass

Then you shall rise up from [your] ambush and seize on the city and will deliver

"Then it will come to pass when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire.
You shall do it according to the word of the LORD. See, I have commanded you."

when it shall be you have taken the city [that] you shall set the city on fire

47
9
So Joshua sent them away, and they went to the place of ambush and remained between
Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.
vajilahem jho-ou-a vajelu l hamarav vajevu

therefore sent them forth Joshua and they went unto lie in ambush and stayed
ben bet el uven ha-aj mijam la-aj vajaln j-ho-ou-a

between in Bethel and between Ai on the west on Ai but lodged Joshua
balajla hahu bto ha-am

that night that among the people.
10
Now Joshua rose early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the
elders of Israel before the people to Ai.
vajaem jho-oua babokr vajifkod t ha-am vaja-al

And rose up early Joshua in the morning and numbered the people and went up
hu vzikne jisra-el lifne ha-am ha-aj

he and the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.
11
Then all the people of war who accompanied him went up and drew near and arrived in
front of the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there existed a valley between
him and Ai.
val ha-am hamilama ar ito alu vajigu

And all the people [even the people] of war that with went up and drew near
vajavo-u ngd ha-ir vajaanu mitsfon la-aj vhagaj

and came before the city and pitched on the north of Ai. now [there was] a valley
benav uven ha-aj

between and between them and Ai.
12
And he took about 5,000 men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west
side of the city.
vajika kaamet alafim i vajam otam orev ben

And he took about five thousand men and set them to lie in ambush between
bet l uven ha-aj mijam la-ir

in Bethel and between ai on the west of the city.
48
13
So they stationed the people, all the army that stood on the north side of the city, and its rear
guard on the west side of the city, and Joshua spent that night in the midst of the valley.
vajasimu ha-am t kal hamaan ar mitsfon

when thet had set the people all [even] the host that [was] on the north
la-ir v-t akevo mijam la-ir vajel jho-ou-a

of the city and their guards in wait of the west of the city and went Joshua
balajla hahu bto ha-emk

that night that in the midst of the valley.
14
It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early
and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before
the desert plain. But he did not know that Joshua had planned an ambush against him
behind the city.
vajhi kirot ml ha-aj vajmaharu vajakimu

And it came to pass saw when the king of Ai and [it] that they hurried and rose up early
vajets-u ane ha-ir likrat jisra-el lamilama hu val amo

and went out the men of the city against Israel in battle he and all his people
lamo-ed lifne ha-arava vhu lo jada ki orev

at the appointed before the plain but he not knew that [there were] guards in ambush
lo me-aare ha-ir
to against him behind the city.
15
Joshua and all Israel pretended to have suffered defeat before them, and fled by the way of
the wilderness.
vajinag-u jho-ou-a val jisra-el lifnehm vajanusu

And made as if they were beaten Joshua and all Israel before them and fled
dr hamidbar
by the way of the wilderness.
16
And all the people who lived in the city received a summons to pursue them, and they
pursued Joshua and abandoned the city.
vajiza-aku kal ha-am ar ba-aj lirdof aarehm vajirdfu

And were called all the people that the city to pursue after and they pursued
aare jho-oua vajinatku min ha-ir

after Joshua and were drawn away from the city.
49
17
So not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel, and they left the
city unguarded and pursued Israel.
vlo niar i ba-aj uvet el ar lo jats-u aare jisra-el

and not [had] left a man in Ai of Bethel that not do after Israel
vaja-azvu t ha-ir ptua vajirdfu aare jisra-el

and they left the city open and pursued after Israel.
18
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that you have in your hand toward
Ai, for I will give it into your hand." So Joshua stretched out the javelin that he had in his
hand toward the city.
vajomr jav l jho-ou-a nte bakidon ar bjada

And said the LORD unto Joshua Stretch out the spear that [is] in your hand
l ha-aj ki vjada tnna vajet jho-ou-a

toward Ai for it into your hand for I will give And stretched out Joshua
bakidon ar bjado l ha-ir

the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city.
19
The men in ambush rose quickly from their place, and when he had stretched out his hand,
they ran and entered the city and captured it, and they quickly set the city on fire.
vha-orev kam mhera mimkomo vajarutsu kintot

And the ambush arose quickly from their place and they ran as soon as he had stretched out
jado vajavo-u ha-ir vajilkduha

his hand and they entered into the city and took
vamaharu vajatsitu t ha-ir ba-e

and hurried and set the city on fire.
20
When the men of Ai turned back and looked, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the
sky, and they had no place to flee this way or that, for the people who had retreated to the
wilderness turned against the pursuers.
vajifnu ane ha-aj aarehm vajiru vhine ala aan

when looked the men of Ai behind they saw behold ascended up the smoke
ha-ir haamaja vlo haja vahm jadajim lanus hena vahena

of the city to heaven and no they had in power to flee this way and or that way
vha-am hanas hamidbar npa l harodef

that the people fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
50
21
When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that the
smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and slew the men of Ai.
viho-ou-a val jisra-el ra-u ki laad a-orev t ha-ir vi

when Joshua and all Israel saw that had taken the ambush the city that
ala aan ha-ir vajauvu vajaku t ane ha-aj

ascended that the smoke of the city and then they turned again and slew the men of Ai.
22
The others came out from the city to encounter them, so that they became trapped in the
midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they slew them until no one
remained of those who survived or escaped.
v-el jats-u min ha-ir likratam vajiju ljisra-el batav

And the other issued out of the city against them so they were of Israel in the middle
el miz v-el miz vajaku otam ad bilti hiir

some on this and some on that side and they struck them so to that they let none of them
remain

23
But they took alive the king of Ai and brought him to Joshua.
v-t ml ha-aj tafsu aj vajakrivu oto l jho-ou-a

and the king of Ai they took alive and brought him unto Joshua.
24
Now when Israel had finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the wilderness
where they pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they
had become destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the
sword.
vajhi kalot jisra-el laharog t kal jove ha-aj

And it came to pass had finished when Israel of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai

All who fell that day, both men and women, numbered 12,000all the people of Ai.
vajhi al hanoflim bajom hahu me-i v-ad ia nem asar

And it was all that fell that day that both of men and women two and ten

26
For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had
utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
viho-ou-a lo heiv jado ar nata bakidom ad ar

For Joshua not drew his hand with which he stretched out the spear until that

he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
27
Israel took only the cattle and the spoil of that city as plunder for themselves, according to

just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as the scriptures

wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed

the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, the stranger as
well as the native Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front

LORD.
vajiku ha-anaim mitsedam v-t pi jav lo a-alu

And took the men of their provisions and [counsel] at the mouth of the LORD not asked.

Joshua made peace with them and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the
leaders of the congregation swore an oath to them.
vaja-as lahm jho-ou-a alom vajirot lahm brit

and made to Joshua peace and with them and made to a league

And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made to a league

Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities they
named Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.
vajis-u vne jisra-el vajavo-u l arehm bajom halii

Now their cities [were] Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kirjath-jearim.
58
18
The sons of Israel did not strike them because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to
them by the LORD the God of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the
leaders.
vlo hikum bne jisra-el ki nib-u lahm nsi-e

and said all the princes unto the whole the congregation We have sworn to them

"This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not fall upon us for the oath

This we will do to evenlet them live that lest be on wrath us because of

The leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of
water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.
vajomru alehm hansi-im jiju vajiju otve etsim

and said unto the princes them Let them live but let them be hewers of wood
vso-ave majim lal ha-eda ka-ar dibru lahm

and drawers of water for the whole the congregation as had promised to

the princes.
59
22
Then Joshua called for them and spoke to them, saying, "Why have you deceived us, saying,
'We live very far from you,' when you live within our land?
vajikra lahm jho-ou-a vajdaber alehm lemor lama rimitm

and called to Joshua and he spoke unto them saying Why have you tricked

23
"Now therefore, you have cursed yourselves, and you shall never cease from your slavery,

Now [are] cursed therefore you and not [are] you freed of from being slaves
votave etsim vo-ave majim lvet lojaj

and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
24
So they answered Joshua and said, "Because we certainly had learned that the LORD your
God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the
inhabitants of the land before you; therefore, we feared greatly for our lives because of
you, and have done this thing.
vaja-anu t jho-ou-a vajomru ki huged hugad

And they answered Joshua and said Because it was certainly told

therefore we were very for our lives because of you and have done thing this.
25
"Now behold, we entrust ourselves in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your
sight to do to us."

now are in [are] we in your hand as it seems good and right in your sight to do

26
Thus he did to them, and delivered them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did
not kill them.

and did to so and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel them

27
But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation
and for the altar of the LORD, to this day, in the place which He would choose.

And made Joshua those who day those who hewers of wood and drawers

Joshua 10 (Back)
Five Kings Attack Gibeon

1
Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai,
and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to
Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and
dwelled within their land,
vajhi imo-a adoni tsdk ml jrualim ki laad

Now it came to pass had heard when Adoni -zedek king of Jerusalem how had taken

and her king so he had done to Ai and her king and how had made peace
jove givon t jisra-el vajiju bkirbam

the inhabitants of Gibeon with Israel and were among.
61
2
that he feared greatly, because Gibeon had the reputation of a great city, like one of the royal
cities, and because people considered it greater than Ai, and all its men proved
themselves mighty.
vajir-u m-od ki ir gdola givon k-aat are

and they feared greatly because a city [was] great Gibeon as one cities
hamamlaa vi hi gdola min ha-aj val anaha giborim

of the royal and because it[was] greater than Ai and all the men [were] thereof mighty.
3
Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent word to Hoham king of Hebron and to Piram
king of Jarmuth and to Japhia king of Lachish and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
vajila adoni tsdk ml jrualim l hoham ml vron

and sent Why Adoni-zdk king of Jerusalem unto Hoham king of Hebron
v-l piram ml jarmut v-l jafi-a ml lai dvir ml

and unto Piram king of Jarmuth and unto Japhia king of Lachish Debir king

of Eglon saying.
4
"Come up to me and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua
and with the sons of Israel."
alu elaj v-izruni vnak t givon ki hilima t

Come up unto me that help me we may strike Gibeon for it has made peace with
jho-ou-a v-t bne jisra-el

Joshua and with the children of Israel.
5
So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of
Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they
with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.
vaje-asfu vaja-alu amet male ha-emori

and gathered themselves together and went up therefore the five kings of the Amorites

the king of Eglon they and all their hosts and camped before Gibeon
62

and made war against.
6
Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon
your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the
Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us."
vajili ane givon l jho-ou-a l hamaan hagilgala lemor al

And sent the men of Gibeon unto Joshua unto the camp to Gilgal saying not
trf jada me-avada ale elenu mhera vho-oi-a lanu

v-azrenu ki nikbtsu elenu kal male ha-emori

and help for are gathered together against all the kings of the Amorites
jove hahar

7
So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him and all the valiant
warriors.
vaja-al jho-ou-a min hagilgal hu val am hamilama imo

so ascended Joshua from Gilgal he and all the people of war with him
vol gibore hajil

and the all mighty men of valor.
8
The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; not one
of them shall stand before you."
vajomr jav l jho-ou-a al tira mehm ki vjada

And said the LORD unto Joshua them not [will] Fear like for them into your hand
ntatim lo ja-amod i mehm bfana

I have delivered not them stand a man like before.
9
So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.
vajavo alehm jhou-a pitom kal halajla ala min hagilgal

therefore came unto Joshua them suddenly all night went up from Gilgal.
63
10
And the LORD confounded them before Israel, and He slew them with a great slaughter at
Gibeon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent of Beth-horon and struck them as far
as Azekah and Makkedah.
vajumem jav lifne jisra-el vajakem maka gdola

And overwhelmed the LORD them before Israel and slew slaughter them with a great

at Gibeon and chased them along the way step in to Beth-horon and struck them
ad azeka v-ad makeda

to Azekah and to Makkedah.
11
As they fled from before Israel, while they came to the descent of Beth-horon, the LORD
threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; more died from
the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.
vajhi bnusam mipne jisra-el hem bmorad

And it came to pass As they fled from before Israel were at were in the going down

from heaven them to Azekah and they died [they were] more [they] that died
b-avne habarad me-a hargu bne jisra-el barv

with hailstones than whom slew the children of Israel with the sword.
12
Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites
before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, O sun, stand still at Gibeon,
and O moon in the valley of Aijalon."
az jbaber jho-ou-a jav bjom tet jav t

Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day delivered up when the LORD

the Amorites before the children of Israel and he said in the sight of Israel Sun
bgivon dom vjare-a b-emk ajalon

at Gibeon stand you still Moon in the valley of Ajialon.
64
13
So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
Have we not read in the book of Jashar? And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not
hasten to go down for about a whole day.
vajidom ham vjare-a amad ad jikom go

And stood still the sun and the moon stayed Until had avenged the people

No day appeared before it or after it, when the LORD listened to the voice of a man; for the

And no there was day like that before and it or after listened it that the LORD
bkol i jav nilam ljisra-el

to the voice for the LORD fought for Israel.
15
Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.
vajaav jho-ou-a val jisra-el imo l hamaan hagilgala

And returned Joshua and all Israel with him unto the camp to Gilgal.
Victory at Makkedah

Now these five kings had fled and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah.

and fled five kings But these and his themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
17
Joshuas men told him, saying, "We have discovered the five kings hiding in the cave at

And it was told Joshua saying are found The five kings hid

And said Joshua Roll stones great on the mouth of the cave and set

It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very

And returned all the people unto the camp unto Joshua at Makkedah

Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring these five kings out to me from

Then said Joshua Open the mouth of the cave and bring out unto

23
They did so, and brought these five kings out to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem,

24
When they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and
said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet on
the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

And were met together all kings these and they came and pitches together

will deliver all of them slain before Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their
chariots with fire."

so came Joshua and all the people of war with him against by by the waters

The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, so that they defeated them, and pursued
them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim and the valley of Mizpeh to the east;
and they struck them until no survivor was left to them.

and did to Joshua to them as commanded to the LORD their horses

he hamstrung and their chariots burnt with fire.
10
Then Joshua turned back at that time, and captured Hazor and struck its king with the
sword; for Hazor formerly ruled as the head of all these kingdoms.
vajaav jho-ou-a ba-et hahi vajakod t hatsor v-t mala

And turned back Joshua at that time at that and took Hazor and the king

And they struck all the souls that in[were] therein with the edge of the sword

Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them with the
edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; just as Moses the servant of the LORD
had commanded.

13
However, Israel did not burn any cities that stood on their mounds, except Hazor alone,
which Joshua burned.

But any [as for] the cities that stood in their strength none burned Israel save

Hazor only burn [that] did Joshua.
14
All the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took as their plunder; but they
struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no
one who breathed.

Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

Thus Joshua took all that land: the hill country and all the Negev, all that land of Goshen,

from Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon

put them to death.

18
Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings.
jamim rabim asa jho-u-a t kal hamlaim ha-el milama

a time long made Joshua with all kings those war.
77
19
No city made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took
them all in battle.

not There was a city that made peace with the sons of Israel save the Hivites

20
For the LORD hardened their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might utterly
destroy them, that they might receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as
the LORD had commanded Moses.
ki me-et jav hajta lazek t libam likrat

For the LORD it was to harden their hearts that they should come against

Then Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron,
from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country
of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
vajavo jho-ou-a ba-et hahi vajaret t ha-anakim min

none left of the Anakims in the land of the sons of Israel only in Gaza in Gath

23
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses, and
Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes.
Thus the land had rest from war.

Joshua 16 (Back)

Then the lot for the sons of Joseph went from the Jordan at Jericho to the waters of Jericho
on the east into the wilderness, going up from Jericho through the hill country to Bethel.

And fell the lot for the sons of Joseph from the Jordan by Jericho to the waters

It went from Bethel to Luz, and continued to the border of the Archites at Ataroth.
vjatsa mibet el luza v-avar l gvul ha-arki atarot

And goes out from Bethel to Luz and passes along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth.

It went down westward to the territory of the Japhletites, as far as the territory of lower Beth-

And goes down westward unto the coast of Japhleti to the coast of Beth-horon

nether and to Gezer thereof are the goings out at the sea.
4
The sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, received their inheritance.
vajinalu vne josef mna v-frajim

so took their inheritance the children of Joseph Manasseh and Ephraim.
108
5
Now this constituted the territory of the sons of Ephraim according to their families: the
border of their inheritance eastward constituted Ataroth-addar, as far as upper Beth-
horon.
vajhi gvul bne frajim lmipotam vajhi

And was the border of the sons of Ephraim according to their families and side was

[thus] even the border of their inheritance on the east Ataroth-addar to in the Beth- horon

Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about
eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.

And went out the border toward the sea to Michmethah on the north and went about

the Jordan.

And it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarath and came to Jericho

From Tappuah the border continued westward to the brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea.
This constitutes the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their
families,

And cities the separate for the sons of Ephraim in the midst the inheritance of the sons

10
But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the
midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.

But not do they did not drive the Canaanites that dwelled in Gezer but dwell

Joshua 17 (Back)
Territory of Manasseh
1
Now this we identify as the lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he constituted the firstborn of
Joseph. To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead, they received Gilead
and Bashan, because he served as a man of war.
vajhi hagoral lmate mna ki hu bor

There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh for he for he was the firstborn
josef lmair bor mna avi hagilad ki hu

of Joseph To Machir the firstborn of Manasseh the father of Gilead because he
haja i milama vajhi lo hagilad vhabaan

was a man of war therefore he had to Gilead and Bashan.
110
2
So the lot they made for the rest of the sons of Manasseh according to their families: for the
sons of Abiezer and for the sons of Helek and for the sons of Asriel and for the sons of
Shechem and for the sons of Hepher and for the sons of Shemida; the male descendants
of Manasseh the son of Joseph according to their families.
vajhi livne mna hanotarim lmiphotam

There was of the sons of Manasseh [a lot] also for the rest according to their families

and for the children of Shechem and for the children of Hepher and for the children
mida el bne mna bn josef hazarim

of Shemidah these children of Manasseh the son of Joseph [were] the male
lmipotam
3
However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of
Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these we identify as the names of his
daughters: Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.
vlitslafad bn fr bn mair bn mna lo haju

But Zelophehad the son of Hepher the son of Machir the son of Manasseh not had

to sons for daughters and these [are] the names of his daughters Mahlah

and Noah Hoglah Milcah and Tirzah.
4
They came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun and before the
leaders, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our
brothers." So according to the command of the LORD he gave them an inheritance
among their father's brothers.
vatikravna lifne lazar hakohen vlifne jho-ou-a bin nun

And they came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun

naala bto aenu vajiten lahm l

an inheritance among our brothers and he gave to Therefore according
111
pi jav naala bto ae avihn

to the command God an inheritance among the brothers of their father.
5
Thus there fell ten portions to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan, which lies
beyond the Jordan,
vajiplu avle mna asara lvad me-rts hagilad vhabaan

And there fell portions to Manasseh ten beside the land of Gilead and Bashan
ar me-evr lajarden
that [were] on the other side Jordan.
6
because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance among his sons. And the land of
Gilead belonged to the rest of the sons of Manasseh.
ki bnot mna naalu naala bto banav v-rts

because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons and the land

of Gilead had of the sons of Manasseh the rest.
7
The border of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath which extended east of Shechem;
then the border went southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.
vajhi gvul mna me-ar hamimtat ar al pne

And was the coast of Manasseh from Asher to Michmethah that before the face of

belonged to the sons of Ephraim.

to Manasseh had The land of Tappuah but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh

112
9
The border went down to the brook of Kanah, southward of the brook (these cities belonged
to Ephraim among the cities of Manasseh), and the border of Manasseh extended on the
north side of the brook and it ended at the sea.
vjarad hagvul naal kana negba lanaal arim ha-el

And descended the coast to the river Kanah southward of the brook cities these

of the brook and of it were the outgoings at the sea.
10
The south side belonged to Ephraim and the north side to Manasseh, and the sea served as
their border; and they reached to Asher on the north and to Issachar on the east.

Southward of [it was] Ephraim and northward to Manasseh and is the sea his border

and in Asher they met together on the north and in Issachar on the east.
11
In Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns and Ibleam and its towns,
and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and
the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns,

of Taanach and her towns and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns [even]three

113
12
But the sons of Manasseh could not take possession of these cities, because the Canaanites
persisted in living in that land.

and not could Yet the children of Manasseh drive out [the inhabitants of] cities

13
It came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced
labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

and Yet it came to pass when were waxen strong the children of Israel that they put

the Canaanites to forced and utterly drive them out not [will] utterly drive them out.
14
Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me only one lot and
one portion for an inheritance, since I have become a numerous people whom the LORD
has thus far blessed?"
vajdabru bne josef t jhou-a lemor madu-a natata li

And spoke the children of Joseph to Joshua saying Why have you given to

forasmuch me until now? far has thus has blessed the LORD.
15
Joshua said to them, "If you consider yourself a numerous people, go up to the forest and
clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the
hill country of Ephraim seems too narrow for you."
vajomr alehm jho-oua im am rav ata ale

and answered [them] unto Joshua if a people [are] great you [then] get you up

114
16
The sons of Joseph said, "The hill country we do not consider enough for us, and all the
Canaanites who live in the valley land have chariots of iron, both those who live in Beth-
shean and its towns and those who live in the valley of Jezreel."
vajomr bne josef lo jimatse lahar vrv barzel

Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, "You have become
a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,

And spoke Joshua unto the house of Joseph to Ephraim and to Manasseh

Joshua 18 (Back)
Rest of the Land Divided

1
Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up
the tent of meeting there; and the land they subdued before them.
vajikahalu kal adat bne jisrael ilo vajakinu

And assembled together the whole congregation of the sons of Israel at Shiloh and set up

vajivatru bivne jisra-el ar lo alku t

And there remained among the sons of Israel that not [have] yet received

3
So Joshua said to the sons of Israel, "How long will you put off entering to take possession
of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
vajomr jho-ou-a l bne jisra-el ad ana atm mitrapim lavo

And said Joshua unto the sons of Israel until when you [are] slack to go

4
"Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe that I may send them, and that they may

"They shall divide it into seven portions; Judah shall stay in its territory on the south, and the
house of Joseph shall stay in their territory on the north.

And they shall divide it [is] into seven parts Judah shall abide in their coast

6
"You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will
cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

and you shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts and bring unto

7
"For the Levites have no portion among you, because the priesthood of the LORD they have

their inheritance eastward beyond the Jordan, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave
them."

8
Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land,
saying, "Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast
lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."
vajakumu ha-anaim vajeleu vatsav jho-ou-a t haholim

And arose the men and went away and charged Joshua those who went

So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in
a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

And went the men and passed through the land and described it by cities in seven

Their border on the north side extended from the Jordan, then the border went up to the side
