H9002–/וְ–v

And Joshua called for them, and he spoke to them, saying, Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?

וְאַתֶּ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bond-men, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.

וְעַתָּ֖ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹֽא־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְחֹטְבֵ֥י (וְ) ve. “and”וְשֹֽׁאֲבֵי־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were greatly afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

וּלְהַשְׁמִ֛יד (וּ) u. “and”

And now, behold, we are in thy hand: do as it seemeth good and right to thee to do to us,

וְעַתָּ֖ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְכַיָּשָׁ֧ר (וְ) ve. “and”

And so did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even to this day, in the place which he should choose.

וְשֹׁ֥אֲבֵי (וְ) ve. “and”וּלְמִזְבַּ֤ח (וּ) u. “and”

Now it came to pass, when Adoni-zedec king of Jerusalem had 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;

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

That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men of it were mighty.

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

Wherefore Adoni-zedec 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,

וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Come up to me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

וְעִזְרֻ֔נִי (וְ) ve. “and”וְנַכֶּ֖ה (וְ) ve. “so”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, assembled themselves, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains, are assembled against us.

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

So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.

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

And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.

וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And it came to pass as they fled from before Israel, and were in the descent to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

וַֽיהוָ֡ה (וַֽ) va. “and”

Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

וְיָרֵ֖חַ (וְ) ve. “and”

And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

וְיָרֵ֣חַ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.

וְלֹ֨א (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַחֲרָ֔יו (וְ) ve. “and”

And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:

וְהַפְקִ֧ידוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

And stay you not, but pursue your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

וְאַתֶּם֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest who remained of them entered into fortified cities.

וּבְנֵ֣י (וּ) u. “and”וְהַשְּׂרִידִים֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring those five kings to me out of the cave.

וְהוֹצִ֣יאוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Joshua said to them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

וְאַל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאִמְצ֔וּ (וְ) ve. “and”

And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were in it; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did to the king of Jericho.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”
