| [1](And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel -- none going out, and none coming in;) |
[1]Now Jericho was shut up, and closed, because of the children of Israel: none might go out nor enter in. |
| [2]And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `See, I have given into thy hand Jericho and its king -- mighty ones of valour, |
[2]And the Lord said unto Joshua, Behold, I have given into thine hand Jericho and the king thereof, and the strong men of war. |
| [3]and ye have compassed the city -- all the men of battle -- going round the city once; thus thou dost six days; |
[3]All ye therefore that be men of war, shall compass the city, in going round about the city once: thus shall you do six days: |
| [4]and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets, |
[4]And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. |
| [5]and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet, all the people shout -- a great shout, and the wall of the city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each over-against him.' |
[5]And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout: then shall the wall of the city fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up, every man straight before him. |
| [6]And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith unto them, `Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah;' |
[6]Then 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. |
| [7]and He said unto the people, `Pass over, and compass the city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of Jehovah.' |
[7]But he said unto the people, Go and compass the city: and let him that is armed, go forth before the ark of the Lord. |
| [8]And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people, that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them; |
[8]And when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bear the seven trumpets of rams' horns, and went forth before the ark of the Lord, and blew with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. |
| [9]and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark, going on and blowing with the trumpets; |
[9]And the men of arms went before the priests that blew the trumpets: then the gathering host came after the ark, as they went and blew the trumpets. |
| [10]and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, `Ye do not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you, Shout ye -- then ye have shouted.' |
[10](Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, neither make any noise with your voice, neither shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day that I say unto you, Shout, then shall ye shout) |
| [11]And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp. |
[11]So the ark of the Lord compassed the city, and went about it once: then they returned into the host, and lodged in the camp. |
| [12]And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah, |
[12]And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of the Lord: |
| [13]and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets -- and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah -- going on and blowing with the trumpets. |
[13]Also seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns, and went before the ark of the Lord, and going blew with the trumpets: and the men of arms went before them, but the gathering host came after the ark of the Lord, as they went and blew the trumpets. |
| [14]And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days. |
[14]And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the host: thus they did six days. |
| [15]And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times); |
[15]And when the seventh day came, they rose early, even with the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only that day they compassed the city seven times. |
| [16]and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people, `Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city; |
[16]And when the priests had blown the trumpets the seventh time, Joshua said unto the people, Shout: for the Lord hath given you the city. |
| [17]and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it, to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we sent; |
[17]And the city shall be an execrable thing, both it, and all that are therein, unto the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she, and all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers that we sent. |
| [18]and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have troubled it; |
[18]Notwithstanding, be ye aware of the execrable thing, lest ye make yourselves execrable, and in taking of the execrable thing, make also the host of Israel execrable, and trouble it. |
| [19]and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they come.' |
[19]But all silver, and gold, and vessels of brass, and iron shall be consecrated unto the Lord, and shall come into the Lord's treasury. |
| [20]And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet, that the people shout -- a great shout, and the wall falleth under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each over-against him, and they capture the city; |
[20]So the people shouted, when they had blown trumpets: for when the people had heard the sound of the trumpet, they shouted with a great shout: and the wall fell down flat: so the people went up into the city, every man straight before him: and they took the city. |
| [21]and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep, and ass, by the mouth of the sword. |
[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. |
| [22]And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, `Go into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.' |
[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 swear to her. |
| [23]And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and place them at the outside of the camp of Israel. |
[23]So 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: also they brought out all her family, and put them without the host of Israel. |
| [24]And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is] in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass, and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of Jehovah; |
[24]After, they burned the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass and iron, they put unto the treasure of the house of the Lord. |
| [25]and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. |
[25]So Joshua saved Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelt in Israel even unto this day, because she had hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. |
| [26]And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, `Cursed [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;' |
[26]And Joshua swear 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 eldest son, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. |
| [27]and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the land. |
[27]So the Lord was with Joshua, and he was famous through all the world. |
