Joshua said to them, If you are a great people, go up to the forest, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֗עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, You are a great people, and have great power; you shall not have one lot only:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long are you slack to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has given you?

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

The men arose, and went: and Joshua charged those who 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 Yahweh in Shiloh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֡עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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”

Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before Yahweh: 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”

So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by the borders of it; and 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' [ergänzt: houses] of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the tent of meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.

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

Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

יְהוֹשֻׁ֖עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Then came near the heads of fathers' [ergänzt: houses] of the Levites to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of fathers' [ergänzt: houses] 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-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [ergänzt: inheritance] in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward; moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

It happened after many days, when Yahweh had given rest to 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 to them, I am old and well stricken in years:

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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”

Joshua said to all the people, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Your fathers lived 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”

Joshua said to the people, You can't serve Yahweh; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

The people said to Joshua, No; but we will serve Yahweh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֑עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you Yahweh, to serve him. They said, We are witnesses.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

The people said to Joshua, Yahweh our God will we serve, and to his voice will we listen.

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”

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 Yahweh.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh which he spoke to us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.

יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ ye.ho.Shu.a' “Joshua”

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