And Joshua said unto them: 'If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.'

יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua spoke unto 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;

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the men arose, and went; and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying: 'Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come back to me, and I will cast lots for you here 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 into seven portions in a book, and they came to Joshua unto the camp 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 unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.

When they had made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by the borders thereof, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of 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' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tent of meetin

And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

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

Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them,

And it came to pass after many days, when the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;

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 old and well stricken in years.

And Joshua said unto all the people: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, 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 unto the people: 'Ye cannot serve the LORD; for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And the people said unto Joshua: 'Nay; but we will serve the LORD.'

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

And Joshua said unto 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 unto Joshua: 'The LORD our God will we serve, and unto 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.

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance.
