And Joshua answered them, If thou art a great people, then go up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men arose, and departed: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go, and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֡עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came again, to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.

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

When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their borders, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

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

These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.

וִיהוֹשֻׁ֪עַ (יהוֹשֻׁ֪עַ) ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

The LORD also spoke to Joshua, saying,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua blessed them and sent them away; and they went to their tents.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but to the other half of it gave Joshua among their brethren on this side of Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also to their tents, then he blessed them,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And it came to pass, a long time after that the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on all sides, that Joshua became old and advanced in age.

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

And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said to them, I am old and advanced in age:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua convened all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor: and they served other gods.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions, nor your sins.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve the LORD.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the people said to Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֧עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us, it shall be therefore a witness to you, lest ye deny your God.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua let the people depart, every man to his inheritance.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”
