And Joshua said unto them, If thou art a great people, then get thee up to the wood, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, 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 will ye shew yourselves slack to go to take possession of the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers hath given you?

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men arose and went away. 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, and I will cast lots for you here before Jehovah in Shiloh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֡עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven portions, in a book, and they came to Joshua, to the camp at Shiloh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֛עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

And they ended dividing the land for inheritance according to its borders. And the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them.

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

These were the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed by lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And they ended dividing the land.

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

And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then the chief fathers of the Levites drew near to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief 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”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [ergänzt: inheritance] in Bashan, and to the other half thereof had Joshua given among their brethren on this side the Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them also,

And it came to pass a long time after that Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had become old, advanced in age,

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

that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old, advanced in age;

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua gathered 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 unto all the people, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old on the other side of the river, 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, [ergänzt: We are] witnesses.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and to his voice will we hearken.

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 the oak that was by the sanctuary of Jehovah.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua dismissed the people, every man to his inheritance.
