Then Joshua said to them, If you are such a great people, go up into the woodlands, clearing a place there for yourselves in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, if the hill-country of Ephraim is not wide enough for you.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua said to the children of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, You are a great people, and have great power: you are not to have one property only,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua said to the children of Israel, Why are you so slow to go in and take up your heritage in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So the men got up and went; and Joshua gave orders to those who went, to make a record of the land, saying, Go up and down through the land, and make a record of it and come back here to me, and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision o

יְהוֹשֻׁ֡עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So the men went, travelling through the land, and made a record of it by towns in seven parts in a book, and came back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Shiloh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua made the distribution for them in Shiloh by the decision of the Lord, marking out the land for the children of Israel by their divisions.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֧עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”יְהוֹשֻׁ֧עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So the distribution of the land and its limits was complete; and the children of Israel gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a heritage among them;

לִיהוֹשֻׁ֥עַ (יהוֹשֻׁ֥עַ) ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the

And the Lord said to Joshua,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua gave them his blessing and sent them away: and they went back to their tents.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,

Now after a long time, when the Lord had given Israel rest from wars on every side, and Joshua was old and full of years,

וִיהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ (יהוֹשֻׁ֣עַ) ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua sent for all Israel, for their responsible men and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers, and said to them, I am old, and full of years:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua got all the tribes of Israel together at Shechem; and he sent for the responsible men of Israel and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers; and they took their place before God.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to all the people, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: In the past your fathers, Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor, were living on the other side of the River: and they were worshipping other gods.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to the people, You are not able to be the servants of the Lord, for he is a holy God, a God who will not let his honour be given to another: he will have no mercy on your wrongdoing or your sins.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the people said to Joshua, No! But we will be the servants of the Lord.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have made the decision to be the servants of the Lord. And they said, We are witnesses.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the people said to Joshua, We will be the servants of the Lord our God, and we will give ear to his voice.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֧עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua put these words on record, writing them in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and put it up there under the oak-tree which was in the holy place of the Lord.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to all the people, See now, this stone is to be a witness against us; for all the words of the Lord have been said to us in its hearing: so it will be a witness against you if you are false to the Lord your God.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then Joshua let the people go away, every man to his heritage.
