Joshua

6 Joshua 6:1-7:26
¹Now Jericho was shut up because of the presence of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in.
²And Yahvah said to Joshua, See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, with its king and all its armed forces.
³And you will encircle the city, all the men of war, and you will go around the city once a day. This you will do for 6 days.
⁴And 7 priests will bear trumpets, and blow before the ark; and on the 7th day you will go around the city 7 times, and the priests will blow with the trumpets.
⁵And it will come to pass that when they blow the trumpets and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people will shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight before him.

⁶And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the contract of Yahvah, and let 7 priests bear 7 trumpets and blow them before the ark of Yahvah.
⁷And he said to the people, Pass on and encircle the city, and let those who are armed march on before the ark of Yahvah.
⁸And as Joshua had spoken to the people, the 7 priests bearing the 7 trumpets passed on before the ark of Yahvah, blowing on the trumpets; and the ark of the contract of Yahvah followed them.
⁹And the armed men went before the priests who blew on the trumpets, and the rest of the people who were gathered went after the ark, and they marched on blowing the trumpets.
¹⁰But Joshua had commanded the people saying, You will not shout, nor let your voice be heard, nor will any word come out of your mouth, until the day that I tell you to shout; then you will shout.
¹¹So the ark of Yahvah made a circuit of the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

¹²And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahvah.
¹³And 7 priests bearing 7 trumpets went before the ark of Yahvah; they went on continually, and blew with the trumpets; and the armed men went before them; and the rest of the multitude went after the ark of Yahvah, while the priests were blowing with trumpets.
¹⁴And the 2nd day they circled the city once, and returned to the camp; they did the same for 6 days.
¹⁵And on the 7th day, they rose in the morning, and circled the city in the same way 7 times; it was on that day only that they circled the city 7 times.
¹⁶At the 7th time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout, for Yahvah has delivered the city to you.

¹⁷And this city and all that is in it, is to be devoted to Yahvah; only Rahab the prostitute you will spare, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the spies that we sent.
¹⁸And as for you, you are to be careful of the devoted things, lest you defile yourselves by taking some of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
¹⁹But all the silver and gold and vessels of brass and iron are consecrated to Yahvah; they will come into the treasury of Yahvah.
²⁰So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, they shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
²¹And they utterly destroyed all that were in the city, both men and women, young and old and oxen and sheep and donkeys, with the edge of the sword.

²²But Joshua said to the 2 men who had spied out the country, Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.
²³And the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all that she had; and they brought out all her relatives, and placed them outside the camp of Israel.
²⁴And they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it; only the silver and the gold and the vessels of brass and of iron, they brought into the treasury of the house of Yahvah.
²⁵But Rahab the prostitute and her father's house and all that she had, Joshua saved alive; and she lived among the sons of Israel, even to this day; because she hid the spies whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

²⁶And Joshua swore at that time saying, Cursed before Yahvah the man will be that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho; with the death of his firstborn he will build it, and with the death of his youngest son he will set up its gates.
²⁷So Yahvah was with Joshua; and his fame spread throughout all the land.

¹But the sons of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things, and hid them; and the anger of Yahvah was kindled against the sons of Israel.
²And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and said to them, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
³And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Do not let all the people go up; but let about 2,000 or 3,000 men go up, and destroy Ai; and do not send all the people there, for the men of Ai are few.
⁴So there went up about 3,000 men; and they fled before the men of Ai.
⁵And the men of Ai struck 36 men; and they chased them from before the gate until they were defeated, and they struck them with a great slaughter; therefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

⁶And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the land on his face before the ark of Yahvah until evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust on their heads.
⁷And Joshua said, Alas, Master Yahvah, why have you brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites? If only we had been content, and lived on the other side of the Jordan.
⁸Master, now what will I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies.
⁹For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will gather together against us, and cut off our name from the face of the land; and what will you do to your great name?

¹⁰And Yahvah said to Joshua, Get up; why do you lie on your face on the land?
¹¹Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed the commandment which I commanded them; for they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and lied, and they have hidden them among their own stuff.
¹²Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand again before their enemies, but they will turn their backs before their enemies, because they are accursed; I will not be with you any longer, unless you remove the curse from among you.
¹³Up, summon this people, and say, Be ready tomorrow; for Yahvah, god of Israel, says, There is an accursed thing in the middle of you, Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies any longer until you remove the accursed thing from among you.
¹⁴In the morning, therefore, you will be brought near according to your tribes; and it will be that the tribe which Yahvah takes will come by families; and the family which Yahvah will take will come by houses; and the house which Yahvah will take will come man by man.
¹⁵And it will be that he who is taken with the devoted thing will be burned with fire, he and all that he has; because he has transgressed the commandment of Yahvah, and because he has done wickedness in Israel.

¹⁶So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought forward Israel by tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;
¹⁷and he brought the tribe of Judah by families; and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he brought the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zimri was taken.
¹⁸Then he brought his house man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
¹⁹And Joshua said to Achan, Give glory to Yahvah, god of Israel, and give praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; and do not hide it from me.
²⁰Achan answered Joshua, and said, Truly I have sinned against Yahvah, god of Israel, and this is what I did:
²¹when I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian tapestry and 200 shekels of silver and a wedge of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them and took them; and look, they are hidden in the land inside of my tent, and the silver under it.

²²So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to his tent, and look, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.
²³And they took them out of his tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel, and laid them out before Yahvah.
²⁴And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah and the silver and the tapestry and the wedge of gold and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his donkeys and his sheep and his tent and all that he had; and they brought them to the valley of Achor.
²⁵And Joshua said to him, Why have you troubled us? Yahvah will trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, both him and all that he had, and burned them with fire.
²⁶And they raised over him a great heap of stones which remain to this day. So Yahvah turned from his fierce anger. Therefore the name of that place is called the valley of Achor, to this day.

6 Joshua 8:1-9:0
¹And Yahvah said to Joshua, Do not fear, nor be dismayed; take all the men of war with you, and arise and go up to Ai; because I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai and his people, his city and his land;
²and you will do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king; only the spoil and the cattle you will take as prey for yourselves; lay an ambush against the city, from behind it.

³So Joshua arose, and all the men of war, going up against Ai; and Joshua chose 3,000 mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
⁴And he commanded them saying, Look, when you will lie in wait against the city, from behind it, do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready;
⁵then I and the men that are with me will approach the city; and it will come to pass, when they first come out against us, we will flee before them;
⁶for they will come out after us, and drive us away from the city, and they will say, They are fleeing before us, as at first; and look, as we flee before them,
⁷then you will rise up from your ambush, and seize on the city; for Yahvah your god will deliver it into your hands.
⁸And it will be, when you have taken the city, you will set it on fire; according to the commandment of Yahvah you will do. See, I have commanded you.
⁹So Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the place of ambush, and lay between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.

¹⁰And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and counted the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
¹¹And all the men of war that were with him went up and drew near to the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between them and Ai;
¹²and Joshua took 5,000 men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city;
¹³and when he had set his men and all his host on the north side of the city, and the rear guard on the west of the city, Joshua went that night among the people.
¹⁴And when the king of Ai saw it, he hurried, and the men of the city rose up, and went out against Israel to battle; so all the people of Ai were in the Arabah; and they did not know that there was an ambush against them from behind the city.
¹⁵And Joshua and all Israel scattered before them to flee by way of the wilderness.
¹⁶And all the people of Ai shouted as they pursued them; and they followed Joshua, and were drawn out of the city.
¹⁷And there was not a man left in Ai nor Bethel who did not go out after Israel; and they left the city open, and pursued Israel.

¹⁸And Yahvah said to Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai; for I have delivered it into your hands. And Joshua stretched out the spear that was in his hand toward the city.
¹⁹And the men in ambush arose quickly from their places, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand; and they entered into the city and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
²⁰And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw the smoke of their city going up to the skies, and they had no power to flee this way or that way; and the people of Israel that fled to the wilderness turned back on their pursuers.
²¹And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the city was going up in smoke, then they turned back and slew the men of Ai.
²²And the others went out of the city to meet them; so the men of Ai were caught in the middle of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they struck them, so they let not 1 of them remain or escape.
²³And they took the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.

²⁴And when Israel had finished slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fields and in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.
²⁵And so it was, that 12,000 men and women, all the inhabitants of Ai, fell that day.
²⁶For Joshua did not draw his hand back, with which he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
²⁷Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took as prey for themselves, according to the word of Yahvah which he commanded Joshua.
²⁸And Joshua burned Ai, and made it a heap of ruins forever to this day.
²⁹And he hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and when the sun was set, Joshua commanded, and they took his corpse down from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised over it a heap of large stones that remains to this day.

³⁰Then Joshua built an altar to Yahvah, god of Israel, in mount Ebal,
³¹as Moses the servant of Yahvah had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones on which no man has lifted up any iron instrument; and they offered on it burnt offerings to Yahvah, and sacrificed peace offerings.
³²And he wrote there, on the stones of the altar, a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the sons of Israel.
³³And all Israel and their elders and their scribes and their judges stood on this side of the ark, and on that side the priests and the Levites who carried the ark of the contract of Yahvah, the natives as well as the temporary residents; 1/2 of them toward mount Gerizim, and 1/2 of them toward mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahvah had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel as before.
³⁴And afterward Joshua read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
³⁵There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel and before the women and the little ones and temporary residents who were among them.

6 Joshua 9:1-10:0
¹And when all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the mountains and in the valleys, and on all the coasts of the great sea toward Lebanon, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard of it,
²they gathered themselves together, with one accord, to fight with Joshua and with Israel.

³And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,
⁴they worked subtly, and prepared provisions, and laid old sacks on their donkeys, and wine skins, old, torn, and patched;
⁵they put on old shoes, or bound their feet with sandals, and dressed in old garments; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.
⁶And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country; now make a treaty with us.
⁷And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, If you live among us, then why should you have a treaty?
⁸And they said to Joshua, We are your servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are you? And where do you come from?
⁹And they said to him, From a very far country your servants have come because of the name of Yahvah your god; for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt.
¹⁰And all that he did to the 2 kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon, king of Heshbon, and to Og, king of Bashan, who lived at Ashtaroth.
¹¹Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants; now make a treaty with us.
¹²Moreover they also said to Joshua, This bread we took hot out of our houses for our provisions on the day we came forth to come to you; but now look, it is dry and it is moldy.
¹³And these wine skins, which we filled, were new; and look, they are worn out; and these garments and our shoes were new when we put them on, and look, now they are old because the journey was very long.
¹⁴And the men took of their provisions and went away, and they did not ask counsel from Yahvah.
¹⁵And Joshua made peace with them, and he made a treaty with them to let them live; and the princes of the congregation swore to them.

¹⁶And at the end of 3 days after they had made the treaty with them, they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.
¹⁷And the sons of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the 3rd day. Now the names of their cities were Gibeon, Kephirah, Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.
¹⁸And the sons of Israel did not kill them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahvah, god of Israel. And the whole congregation murmured and were in an uproar against the princes.
¹⁹But the princes said to the congregation, We have sworn to them by Yahvah, god of Israel; now we cannot harm them.
²⁰This we will do to them: we will let them live, lest wrath be on us, because of the oaths which we swore to them.
²¹And the princes said to the sons of Israel, Let them live; but let them become gatherers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation; so they became gatherers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation of the land; as the princes had promised them.

²²And Joshua called for them, and he said to them, Why have you deceived us saying, We are very far from you, when you live among us?
²³Now you are cursed and none of you will be freed from being servants as gatherers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my god.
²⁴And they answered and said to Joshua, Because it was certainly told your servants that Yahvah your god commanded Moses his servant to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were exceedingly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
²⁵And now look, we are in your hands; do to us as it seems good in your sight.
²⁶And so Joshua did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the Israelites, and they did not slay them.
²⁷And Joshua made them that day gatherers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Yahvah, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.

6 Joshua 10:1-28
¹When Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, heard how Joshua had captured Ai and had utterly destroyed it, as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
²he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a large city, like one of the royal cities, and it was larger than Ai, and all its men were mighty.
³Therefore Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
⁴Come up to me and help me, and let us fight against Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel.
⁵Therefore the 5 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 themselves together, and came up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it.

⁶And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal saying, Do not withhold your hands from your servants; because all the kings of the Amorites that live in the mountains are gathered together against us.
⁷So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he, and all the men of war that were with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
⁸And Yahvah said to Joshua, Do not fear them; for I have delivered them into your hands; and there will not, a man of them, stand before you.
⁹Joshua therefore came to them suddenly, going up all night from Gilgal.
¹⁰And Yahvah vanquished them before Israel, and they struck them with great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goes up to Beth Horon, and struck them as far as Azekah, and on to Makkedah.
¹¹And as they fled from before Israel, and were going down in the descent of Beth Horon, Yahvah cast down great hailstones from the skies on them as far as Azekah, and they died; and there were more that died from the hailstones than the sons of Israel slew with the sword.

¹²Then spoke Joshua to Yahvah on the day when Yahvah delivered the Amorites to the sons of Israel, and Joshua said in the sight of the sons of Israel, Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and moon, in the valley over Aijalon.
¹³And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies. And look, it is written in the book of the songs, So the sun stood still in the middle of the skies, and did not hurry to go down, about a whole day.
¹⁴And there was no day like that before it or after it, when Yahvah listened to the voice of a man; for Yahvah fought for Israel.

¹⁵Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

¹⁶But these 5 kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave of Makkedah.
¹⁷And Joshua was told, The 5 kings have been found hidden in the cave of Makkedah.
¹⁸And Joshua said, Roll great stones, and put them on the mouth of the cave, and leave men there to guard them.
¹⁹Do not stay yourselves, but pursue your enemies and overtake them; and do not let them enter the city; for Yahvah your god has delivered them into your hands.
²⁰When Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were annihilated and no survivor was left of them; then they brought the men of Gibeon who had revolted against the kings into their walled cities.
²¹And all the people returned in peace to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah; and no man moved his tongue against any of the sons of Israel.

²²Then Joshua said, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those 5 kings out to me.
²³And they did as Joshua had commanded them, and they brought to him those 5 kings out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
²⁴And when they brought out those kings to Joshua, Joshua called for all the commanders of the armed forces who went with him, and said to them, Come near, and put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet on the necks of the kings.
²⁵And Joshua said to them, Do not fear, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage; for thus will Yahvah do to all your enemies against whom you fight.
²⁶And after that Joshua slew them, and hung them on 5 trees; and they remained hanging on the trees until evening.
²⁷And at the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, and cast them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and laid large stones at the mouth of the cave, which remain to this very day.

²⁸And the same day Joshua captured Makkedah, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and he slew its king and all the persons that were in it; he left no one remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

6 Joshua 10:29-30
²⁹Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah, and they fought against Libnah;
³⁰and Yahvah also delivered it into the hand of Israel, and they struck it and its king with the edge of the sword, and all the persons that were in it; he left no one remaining in it; but Joshua did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

6 Joshua 10:31-32
³¹And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, and camped against it, and fought against it;
³²and Yahvah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he captured it on the 2nd day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the persons that were in it, as he had done to Libnah.

6 Joshua 10:33
³³Then Horam, the king of Gezer, came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people with the edge of the sword until he had left him no one remaining.

6 Joshua 10:34-35
³⁴And Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him to Eglon, and they camped against it and fought against it;
³⁵and they took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the persons that were in it, as he had done to Lachish.

6 Joshua 10:36-37
³⁶And Joshua went up from Eglon and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it;
³⁷and they captured it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and its king and all its towns and all the persons that were in it; he left no one remaining, as he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the persons that were in it.

6 Joshua 10:38-42
³⁸Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it;
³⁹and he captured it and its king and all its towns; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the persons that were in it; and he left no one remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and to its king; as he had done to Libnah and to its king.

⁴⁰So Joshua struck all the land, the mountain region, the Negev, the plain, and the hill country, and all their kings; he left no one remaining, but utterly destroyed all their armies, as Yahvah, god of Israel, had commanded him.
⁴¹So Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
⁴²And Joshua conquered all these kings and their countries at 1 time; because Yahvah, god of Israel, was with him, and it was he who fought for Israel.

6 Joshua 11:1-20
¹And when Jabin, king of Hazor, heard of these things, he sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Acshaph,
²and to the kings that were north of him in the mountains, and to the south, and in the plain of Kinnereth, and in the valleys and in Naphoth Dor on the west,
³and to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Jebusites in the mountains, and to the Hivites below mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
⁴And they came out with all their hosts, many people, as the sand that is on the sea shore in multitude, with many horses and chariots.
⁵And when all these kings were met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom, and prepared to fight against Israel.

⁶And Yahvah said to Joshua, Do not be afraid of them; for tomorrow about this time I will cause them to be routed before Israel; and I will annihilate their horses and burn their chariots with fire.
⁷So Joshua came suddenly to the waters of Merom, he and all the people of war who were with him; and they fell on them.
⁸And Yahvah delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and pursued them as far as great Sidon, and to the lake, and as far as the valley of Mizpah eastward; and they struck them, and they left no one remaining.
⁹And Joshua did to them as Yahvah had told him: he utterly destroyed their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

¹⁰And Joshua at that time turned back and took Hazor, and slew its king with the sword; for Hazor before had been the head of all those kingdoms.
¹¹And they struck with the edge of the sword all the people that were in it, utterly destroying them; there was not a soul left among them; and he burned Hazor with fire.
¹²And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Yahvah had commanded him.
¹³And all the towns that stood on the hills Israel burned, and Joshua burned Hazor.
¹⁴And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword until they had annihilated them, and they did not leave a soul among them.
¹⁵Just as Yahvah had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that Yahvah had commanded Moses.

¹⁶So Joshua took all that land, the mountain country and all the south country and all the land of the plain and all the mountains and their lowlands;
¹⁷from mount Paleg that goes up to Seir, as far as Gudgodah in the valley of Lebanon below mount Hermon; and all their kings Joshua took and slew.
¹⁸Joshua made war for a long time with all those kings.
¹⁹There was not a city that was not delivered up to the sons of Israel, and they destroyed it, except the Hivites who live in Gibeon, whom Joshua allowed to live, and work for Israel. Now all these kingdoms are 7 in number, and Joshua destroyed them all.
²⁰For it was of Yahvah to encourage their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that they might destroy them utterly, and that they might not have compassion on them, but that they might destroy them, as Yahvah had commanded Moses.

6 Joshua 11:21-12:0
²¹And at that time Joshua came and struck the giants who were in the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Ebal and from all the mountains of Judah and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
²²There was not one of the giants left remaining in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did any remain.
²³So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahvah had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
