Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?

וְאַתֶּ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

Now because of this you are cursed, and you will for ever be our servants, cutting wood and getting water for the house of my God.

Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with

וּלְמַלְכָּ֔הּ (וּ) u. “and”וּלְמַלְכָּ֑הּ (וּ) u. “and”וְכִ֨י (וְ) ve. “and”

וְכִ֨י (וְ) ve. “and”וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

וְהוֹשִׁ֤יעָה (וְ) ve. “and”וְעָזְרֵ֔נוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

וְהַפְקִ֧ידוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.

וְאַתֶּם֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
