H9002–/וְ–v

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

וְאַתֶּ֖ם (וְ) ve. “and”

Now therefore you are cursed, and there shall never fail to be of you bondservants, both wood cutters 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”

They answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told your servants, how that Yahweh your 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 sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

וּלְהַשְׁמִ֛יד (וּ) u. “and”

Now, behold, we are in your hand: as it seems good and right to you to do to us, do.

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

So did he to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they didn't kill them.

וְלֹ֥א (וְ) ve. “and”

That day Joshua made those wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of Yahweh, to this day, in the place which he should choose.

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

Now it happened, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem 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”

Therefore 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,

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

Come up to me, and help me, and let us strike Gibeon; for it has 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, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it.

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

The men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Don't slack your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill-country are gathered together against us.

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

So Joshua went up 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”

Yahweh confused them before Israel, and he killed them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon, and struck them to Azekah, and to Makkedah.

וְעַד־ (וְ) ve. “and”

It happened, as they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, that Yahweh cast down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died: they were more who died with the hailstones than they whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.

וַֽיהוָ֡ה (וַֽ) va. “and”

Then spoke Joshua to Yahweh in the day when Yahweh delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand you still on Gibeon; You, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

וְיָרֵ֖חַ (וְ) ve. “and”

The sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Isn't this written in the book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of the sky, and didn't hurry to go down about a whole day.

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

There was no day like that before it or after it, that Yahweh listened to the voice of a man: for Yahweh fought for Israel.

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

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

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְהַפְקִ֧ידוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

but don't stay; pursue after your enemies, and strike the hindmost of them; don't allow them to enter into their cities: for Yahweh your God has delivered them into your hand.

וְאַתֶּם֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

It happened, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of killing them with a very great slaughter, until they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities,

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

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

וְהוֹצִ֣יאוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

Joshua said to them, Don't be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Yahweh do to all your enemies against whom you fight.

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

Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and the king of it: he utterly destroyed them and all the souls who were therein; he left none remaining; and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

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