Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:22 - When they left, they went into the hills and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had searched all along the road and returned without finding them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:23 - Then the two men started back. They went down out of the hills, forded the river and came to Joshua son of Nun and told him everything that had happened to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:2 - After three days the officers went throughout the camp,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:6 - Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:15 - Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 3:17 - The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:6 - to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:7 - tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial to the people of Israel forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:8 - So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:10 - Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the LORD had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:11 - and as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the LORD and the priests came to the other side while the people watched.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:12 - The men of Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over, ready for battle, in front of the Israelites, as Moses had directed them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:18 - And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and ran at flood stage as before.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 4:21 - He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:1 - Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they[fn] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 5:6 - The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:12 - Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:13 - The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the LORD and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets kept sounding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:16 - The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:20 - When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 6:23 - So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her. They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:1 - But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things[fn]; Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri,[fn] the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them. So the LORD's anger burned against Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:2 - Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:6 - Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown to the ground before the ark of the LORD, remaining there till evening. The elders of Israel did the same, and sprinkled dust on their heads.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:9 - The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. What then will you do for your own great name?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 7:12 - That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:20 - The men of Ai looked back and saw the smoke of the city rising up into the sky, but they had no chance to escape in any direction; the Israelites who had been fleeing toward the wilderness had turned back against their pursuers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:24 - When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai in the fields and in the wilderness where they had chased them, and when every one of them had been put to the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and killed those who were in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:25 - Twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:27 - But Israel did carry off for themselves the livestock and plunder of this city, as the LORD had instructed Joshua.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 8:33 - All the Israelites, with their elders, officials and judges, were standing on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD, facing the Levitical priests who carried it. Both the foreigners living among them and the native-born were there.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:1 - Now when all the kings west of the Jordan heard about these things—the kings in the hill country, in the western foothills, and along the entire coast of the Mediterranean Sea as far as Lebanon (the kings of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites)—
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:3 - However, when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:7 - The Israelites said to the Hivites, “But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty with you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:9 - They answered: “Your servants have come from a very distant country because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard reports of him: all that he did in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:11 - And our elders and all those living in our country said to us, ‘Take provisions for your journey; go and meet them and say to them, “We are your servants; make a treaty with us.” '
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:12 - This bread of ours was warm when we packed it at home on the day we left to come to you. But now see how dry and moldy it is.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:13 - And these wineskins that we filled were new, but see how cracked they are. And our clothes and sandals are worn out by the very long journey.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:14 - The Israelites sampled their provisions but did not inquire of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:15 - Then Joshua made a treaty of peace with them to let them live, and the leaders of the assembly ratified it by oath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:17 - So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities: Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:18 - But the Israelites did not attack them, because the leaders of the assembly had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. The whole assembly grumbled against the leaders,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:19 - but all the leaders answered, “We have given them our oath by the LORD, the God of Israel, and we cannot touch them now.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:21 - They continued, “Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers in the service of the whole assembly.” So the leaders' promise to them was kept.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 9:27 - That day he made the Gibeonites woodcutters and water carriers for the assembly, to provide for the needs of the altar of the LORD at the place the LORD would choose. And that is what they are to this day.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:2 - He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:5 - Then the five kings of the Amorites—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon—joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:6 - The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: “Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:11 - As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them, and more of them died from the hail than were killed by the swords of the Israelites.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:16 - Now the five kings had fled and hidden in the cave at Makkedah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:17 - When Joshua was told that the five kings had been found hiding in the cave at Makkedah,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 10:20 - So Joshua and the Israelites defeated them completely, but a few survivors managed to reach their fortified cities.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:4 - They came out with all their troops and a large number of horses and chariots—a huge army, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:5 - All these kings joined forces and made camp together at the Waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 11:14 - The Israelites carried off for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but all the people they put to the sword until they completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone that breathed.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 12:7 - Here is a list of the kings of the land that Joshua and the Israelites conquered on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 13:4 - on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek and the border of the Amorites;
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 13:13 - But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur and Maakah, so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:1 - Now these are the areas the Israelites received as an inheritance in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel allotted to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:4 - for Joseph's descendants had become two tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim. The Levites received no share of the land but only towns to live in, with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:5 - So the Israelites divided the land, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:6 - Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:8 - but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear. I, however, followed the LORD my God wholeheartedly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 14:12 - Now give me this hill country that the LORD promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the LORD helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 15:63 - Judah could not dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the people of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 16:4 - So Manasseh and Ephraim, the descendants of Joseph, received their inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 17:2 - So this allotment was for the rest of the people of Manasseh—the clans of Abiezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Hepher and Shemida. These are the other male descendants of Manasseh son of Joseph by their clans.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 17:12 - Yet the Manassites were not able to occupy these towns, for the Canaanites were determined to live in that region.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 17:13 - However, when the Israelites grew stronger, they subjected the Canaanites to forced labor but did not drive them out completely.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 17:14 - The people of Joseph said to Joshua, “Why have you given us only one allotment and one portion for an inheritance? We are a numerous people, and the LORD has blessed us abundantly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 18:2 - but there were still seven Israelite tribes who had not yet received their inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 18:5 - You are to divide the land into seven parts. Judah is to remain in its territory on the south and the tribes of Joseph in their territory on the north.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 18:8 - As the men started on their way to map out the land, Joshua instructed them, “Go and make a survey of the land and write a description of it. Then return to me, and I will cast lots for you here at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 19:6 - Beth Lebaoth and Sharuhen—thirteen towns and their villages;
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 19:9 - The inheritance of the Simeonites was taken from the share of Judah, because Judah's portion was more than they needed. So the Simeonites received their inheritance within the territory of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 19:47 - (When the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and attacked Leshem, took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem and named it Dan after their ancestor.)
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 19:48 - These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, according to its clans.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 19:49 - When they had finished dividing the land into its allotted portions, the Israelites gave Joshua son of Nun an inheritance among them,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 19:51 - These are the territories that Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel assigned by lot at Shiloh in the presence of the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting. And so they finished dividing the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:1 - Now the family heads of the Levites approached Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the other tribal families of Israel
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:3 - So, as the LORD had commanded, the Israelites gave the Levites the following towns and pasturelands out of their own inheritance:
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:8 - So the Israelites allotted to the Levites these towns and their pasturelands, as the LORD had commanded through Moses.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 21:42 - Each of these towns had pasturelands surrounding it; this was true for all these towns.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:9 - So the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the Israelites at Shiloh in Canaan to return to Gilead, their own land, which they had acquired in accordance with the command of the LORD through Moses.

Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:11 - And when the Israelites heard that they had built the altar on the border of Canaan at Geliloth near the Jordan on the Israelite side,
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:12 - the whole assembly of Israel gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:13 - So the Israelites sent Phinehas son of Eleazar, the priest, to the land of Gilead—to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:21 - Then Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh replied to the heads of the clans of Israel:
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:25 - The LORD has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you—you Reubenites and Gadites! You have no share in the LORD.' So your descendants might cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 22:28 - “And we said, ‘If they ever say this to us, or to our descendants, we will answer: Look at the replica of the LORD's altar, which our ancestors built, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.'
