H1961–הָיָה–ha.yah

So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “he was”וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it was”

The men of Ai struck of them about thirty-six men; and they chased them [ergänzt: from] before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent; and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

וַיְהִ֥י (יְהִ֥י) y.Hi “it became”

Therefore the children of Israel can't stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they are become accursed: I will not be with you any more, except you destroy the devoted thing from among you.

הָי֖וּ ha.Yu “they have become”לִֽהְי֣וֹת (הְי֣וֹת) h.Yot “be”

In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Yahweh takes shall come near by families; and the family which Yahweh shall take shall come near by households; and the household which Yahweh shall take shall come near man by man.

וְהָיָ֡ה (הָיָ֡ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he has done folly in Israel.

וְהָיָה֙ (הָיָה֙) ha.Yah “it will be”

He commanded them, saying, Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; don't go very far from the city, but be all ready:

וִהְיִיתֶ֥ם (הְיִיתֶ֥ם) h.yi.Tem “you will be”

and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;

וְהָיָ֗ה (הָיָ֗ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Yahweh shall you do: behold, I have commanded you.

וְהָיָ֞ה (הָיָ֞ה) ha.Yah “it will be”

It happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn't know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

וַיְהִ֞י (יְהִ֞י) y.Hi “it was”

When the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

הָיָ֨ה ha.Yah “it was”

The others came forth out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

וַיִּֽהְי֤וּ (יִּֽהְי֤וּ) i.yih.Yu “they were”

It happened, when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

וַיְהִי֩ (יְהִי֩) y.Hi “it was”

There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn't read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.

הָיָ֣ה ha.Yah “it was”

It happened, when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and on all the shore of the great sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard of it;

וַיְהִ֣י (יְהִ֣י) y.Hi “it was”

and old and patched shoes on their feet, and old garments on them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and was become moldy.

הָיָ֥ה ha.Yah “it was”

This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become moldy:

וְהָיָ֖ה (הָיָ֖ה) ha.Yah “it has been”

It happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.

וַיְהִ֗י (יְהִ֗י) y.Hi “it was”

This we will do to them, and let them live; lest wrath be on us, because of the oath which we swore to them.

יִֽהְיֶ֤ה yih.Yeh “it will be”

The princes said to them, Let them live: so they became wood cutters and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes had spoken to them.

וַ֠יִּֽהְיוּ (יִּֽהְיוּ) i.yih.yu “they were”

Now it happened, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;

וַיְהִי֩ (יְהִי֩) y.Hi “it was”וַיִּֽהְי֖וּ (יִּֽהְי֖וּ) i.yih.Yu “they were”

It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Yahweh cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.

וַיְהִ֞י (יְהִ֞י) y.Hi “it was”

There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man: for Yahweh fought for Israel.

הָיָ֜ה ha.Yah “it has been”

It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of killing them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

וַיְהִי֩ (יְהִי֩) y.Hi “it was”

It happened, when they brought forth those kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who went with him, Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings. They came near, and put their feet on the necks of them.
