Joshua 5

5 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, awhich were by the sea, bheard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart cmelted, dneither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee ||sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. And Joshua made him ||sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at ||the hill of the foreskins. And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: eAll the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. For the children of Israel walked fforty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord gsware that he would not shew them the land, which the Lord sware unto their fathers that he would give us, ha land that floweth with milk and honey. And itheir children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, ktill they were whole. And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away lthe reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called ||mGilgal unto this day.

10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover non the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho. 11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and oparched corn in the selfsame day. 12 And pthe manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood qa man over against him rwith his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as ||captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua sfell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And the captain of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, tLoose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Joshua 19–24

19 And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: aand their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. And bthey had in their inheritance cBeer-sheba, dor Sheba, and Moladah, And eHazar-shual, and Balah, and eAzem, And eEltolad, and Bethul, and fHormah, And gZiklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah, And hBeth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages: hAin, hRemmon, and iEther, and iAshan; four cities and their villages: And all the villages that were round about these cities to jBaalath-beer, kRamath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: ltherefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

10 And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid: 11 And their border went up mtoward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before nJokneam; 12 And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of oChisloth-tabor, and then goeth out to pDaberath, and goeth up to Japhia, 13 And from thence passeth on along on the east to qrGittah-hepher, to Ittah-kazin, and goeth out to ||Remmon-methoar to Neah; 14 And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthah-el: 15 And Kattath, and sNahallal, and tShimron, and Idalah, and uBeth-lehem: vtwelve cities with their villages. 16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

17 And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families. 18 And their border was toward wJezreel, and xChesulloth, and yShunem, 19 And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath, 20 And Rabbith, and zKishion, and Abez, 21 And Remeth, and zEn-gannim, and En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez; 22 And the coast reacheth to aTabor, and Shahazimah, and bBeth-shemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages. 23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

24 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. 25 And their border was cHelkath, and Hali, and Beten, and dAchshaph, 26 And Alammelech, and Amad, and eMisheal; and reacheth to fCarmel westward, and to Shihor-libnath; 27 And turneth toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to gthe valley of Jiphthah-el toward the north side of Beth-emek, and Neiel, and goeth out to hCabul on the left hand, 28 And Hebron, and iRehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto kgreat Zidon; 29 And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to lAchzib: 30 Ummah also, and mAphek, and iRehob: ntwenty and two cities with their villages. 31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

32 The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families. 33 And their coast was from Heleph, from oAllon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: 34 And then the coast turneth pwestward to qAznoth-tabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising. 35 And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and rHammath, Rakkath, and sChinnereth, 36 And Adamah, and Ramah, and tHazor, 37 And uKedesh, and Edrei, and En-hazor, 38 And Iron, and vMigdal-el, Horem, and wBeth-anath, and wBeth-shemesh; xnineteen cities with their villages. 39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

40 And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families. 41 And the coast of their inheritance was yZorah, and yEshtaol, and Ir-shemesh, 42 And zShaalabbin, and zaAjalon, and Jethlah, 43 And Elon, and bThimnathah, and cEkron, 44 And Eltekeh, and dGibbethon, and eBaalath, 45 And Jehud, and Bene-berak, and fGath-rimmon, 46 And Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border ||before ||Japho. 47 And gthe coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called hLeshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father…
