Book 06        Joshua

06:001:001 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came
           to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun,
           Moses' minister, saying,

06:001:002 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this
           Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do
           give to them, even to the children of Israel.

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

06:001:004 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great
           river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and
           unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be
           your coast.

06:001:005 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
           days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee:
           I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

06:001:006 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt
           thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto
           their fathers to give them.

06:001:007 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
           observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant
           commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the
           left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

06:001:008 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
           thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
           observe to do according to all that is written therein: for
           then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
           have good success.

06:001:009 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be
           not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is
           with thee whithersoever thou goest.

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

06:001:011 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare
           you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this
           Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God
           giveth you to possess it.

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

06:001:013 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD
           commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest,
           and hath given you this land.

06:001:014 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in
           the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye
           shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of
           valour, and help them;

06:001:015 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given
           you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your
           God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your
           possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave
           you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

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

06:001:017 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we
           hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he
           was with Moses.
06:001:018 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and
           will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest
           him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good
           courage. 

06:002:001 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy
           secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they
           went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged
           there.

06:002:002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there
           came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to
           search out the country.

06:002:003 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth
           the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine
           house: for they be come to search out all the country.

06:002:004 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus,
           There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

06:002:005 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate,
           when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went
           I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake
           them.

06:002:006 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid
           them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon
           the roof.

06:002:007 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the
           fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone
           out, they shut the gate.

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

06:002:009 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you
           the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all
           the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

06:002:010 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red
           sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto
           the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side
           Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

06:002:011 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt,
           neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because
           of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and
           in earth beneath.

06:002:012 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I
           have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto
           my father's house, and give me a true token:

06:002:013 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my
           brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver
           our lives from death.

06:002:014 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not
           this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given
           us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

06:002:015 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her
           house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

06:002:016 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the
           pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until
           the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

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

06:002:018 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line
           of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down
           by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy
           brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

06:002:019 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of
           thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head,
           and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in
           the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon
           him.

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

06:002:021 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she
           sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet
           line in the window.

06:002:022 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there
           three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers
           sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

06:002:023 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and
           passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him
           all things that befell them:

06:002:024 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into
           our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the
           country do faint because of us.
