CHAPTER 4
Joshua 4:1
1 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan,
that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, Joshua 4:2
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, Joshua 4:3
3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan,
out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye
shall carry them over with you, and leave  them in the lodging place, 
where ye shall lodge  this night.
Joshua 4:4
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children
of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
Joshua 4:5
5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God
into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone  upon his
shoulder,  according unto the number  of the tribes  of the children  of
Israel:
Joshua 4:6
6 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their
fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? Joshua 4:7
7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before
the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters
of Jordan were cut off:  and these stones  shall be for a memorial  unto
the children  of Israel  for  ever.
Joshua 4:8
8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve
stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, 
according to the number  of the tribes  of the children  of Israel,  and
carried them over  with them unto the place where they lodged,  and laid
them down there.
Joshua 4:9
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place
where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and
they are there unto this day.
Joshua 4:10
10 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until
every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the
people,  according to all that Moses  commanded  Joshua:  and the people
hasted  and passed over.
Joshua 4:11
11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that
the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the
people. Joshua 4:12
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe
of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses
spake  unto them:
Joshua 4:13
13 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto
battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 4:14
14 On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and
they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life. Joshua
4:15
15 And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, Joshua 4:16
16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come
up out of Jordan.
Joshua 4:17
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of
Jordan. Joshua 4:18
18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant
of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the
priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land,  that the waters  of Jordan
returned  unto their place,  and flowed  over all his banks,  as  they did
before.
Joshua 4:19
19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first
month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho. Joshua 4:20
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch
in Gilgal.
Joshua 4:21
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children
shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
Joshua 4:22
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this
Jordan on dry land.
Joshua 4:23
23 For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you,
until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which
he dried up  from before  us, until we were gone over: Joshua 4:24
24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that
it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever. CHAPTER 5
Joshua 5:1
1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on
the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which
were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan 
from before the children  of Israel,  until we were passed over,  that
their heart melted,  neither was there spirit  in them any more, because 
of the children  of Israel.
Joshua 5:2
2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and
circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. Joshua 5:3
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel
at the hill of the foreskins.
Joshua 5:4
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came
out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the
wilderness by the way,  after they came out  of Egypt. Joshua 5:5
5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people
that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of
Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
Joshua 5:6
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all
the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed,
because they obeyed  not the voice  of the LORD:  unto whom the LORD  sware
that he would not shew  them the land,  which the LORD  sware  unto their
fathers  that he would give  us, a land  that floweth  with milk  and
honey. Joshua 5:7
7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua
circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised
them by the way.
Joshua 5:8
8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that
they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole. Joshua 5:9
9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach
of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal
unto this day.
Joshua 5:10
10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on
the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho. Joshua
5:11
11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the
passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day. Joshua
5:12
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn
of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they
did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan  that year. Joshua 5:13
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his
eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his
sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said  unto him, Art
thou for us, or for our adversaries? Joshua 5:14
14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come.
And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto
him, What saith my lord  unto his servant? Joshua 5:15
15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from
off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did
so.
CHAPTER 6
Joshua 6:1
1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none
went out, and none came in.
Joshua 6:2
2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho,
and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. Joshua 6:3
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the
city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. Joshua 6:4
4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams'
horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven  times,  and the
priests shall blow  with the trumpets.
Joshua 6:5
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the
ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall
shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down  flat, 
and the people  shall ascend up  every man  straight before him. Joshua 6:6
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up
the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven  trumpets  of
rams' horns  before  the ark  of the LORD. Joshua 6:7
7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him
that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD. Joshua 6:8
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the
seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before
the LORD, and blew  with the trumpets:  and the ark  of the covenant  of
the LORD  followed  them.
Joshua 6:9
9 And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets,
and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with
the trumpets.
Joshua 6:10
10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor
make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your
mouth, until the day I bid you shout;  then shall ye shout. Joshua 6:11
11 So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they
came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. Joshua 6:12
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Joshua 6:13
13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark
of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets:  and the armed
men went  before  them; but the rereward  came  after  the ark  of the
LORD, the priests going on,  and blowing  with the trumpets. Joshua 6:14
14 And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the
camp: so they did six days.
Joshua 6:15
15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the
dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven
times: only on that day they compassed the city  seven  times. Joshua 6:16
16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the
trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you
the city.
Joshua 6:17
17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to
the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her
in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. Joshua 6:18
18 And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye
make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the
camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Joshua 6:19
19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are
consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Joshua 6:20
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it
came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the
people shouted with a great shout, that the wall  fell down flat,  so that
the people  went up  into the city,  every man  straight before him, and
they took  the city.
Joshua 6:21
21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman,
young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Joshua 6:22
22 But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go
into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she
hath, as ye sware unto her.
Joshua 6:23
23 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and
her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and
they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp  of
Israel. Joshua 6:24
24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the
silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into
the treasury of the house of the LORD. Joshua 6:25
25 And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and
all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because
she hid the messengers,  which Joshua  sent  to spy out  Jericho. Joshua
6:26
26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before
the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the
foundation  thereof in his firstborn,  and in his youngest  son shall he
set up  the gates  of it.
Joshua 6:27
27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
