Joshua 6

KJV

1  Now Jericho3405 was straitly shut up5462 5462 because4480 6440 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 none369 went out,3318 and none369 came in.935

2  And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Joshua,3091 See,7200 I have given5414 into thine hand3027 853 Jericho,3405 and the king4428 thereof, and the mighty1368 men of valor.2428

3  And ye shall compass5437 853 the city,5892 all3605 ye men376 of war,4421 and go round about5362 853 the city5892 once.259 6471 Thus3541 shalt thou do6213 six8337 days.3117

4  And seven7651 priests3548 shall bear5375 before6440 the ark727 seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams' horns:3104 and the seventh7637 day3117 ye shall compass5437 853 the city5892 seven7651 times,6471 and the priests3548 shall blow8628 with the trumpets.7782

5  And it shall come to pass,1961 that when they make a long blast4900 with the ram's3104 horn,7161 and when ye hear8085 853 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 all3605 the people5971 shall shout7321 with a great1419 shout;8643 and the wall2346 of the city5892 shall fall down5307 flat,8478 and the people5971 shall ascend up5927 every man376 straight before5048 him.

6  And Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126 called7121 413 the priests,3548 and said559 unto413 them, Take up5375 853 the ark727 of the covenant,1285 and let5375 seven7651 priests3548 bear5375 seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams' horns3104 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD.3068

7  And he said559 unto413 the people,5971 Pass on,5674 and compass5437 853 the city,5892 and let him that is armed2502 pass on5674 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD.3068

8  And it came to pass,1961 when Joshua3091 had spoken559 unto413 the people,5971 that the seven7651 priests3548 bearing5375 the seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams' horns3104 passed on5674 before6440 the LORD,3068 and blew8628 with the trumpets:7782 and the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 followed1980 310 them.

9  And the armed men2502 went1980 before6440 the priests3548 that blew8628 with the trumpets,7782 and the rearward622 came1980 after310 the ark,727 the priests going on,1980 and blowing8628 with the trumpets.7782

10  And Joshua3091 had commanded6680 the people,5971 saying,559 Ye shall not3808 shout,7321 nor3808 make any noise8085 with854 your voice,6963 neither3808 shall any word1697 proceed out3318 of your mouth,4480 6310 until5704 the day3117 I bid559 you shout;7321 then shall ye shout.7321

11  So the ark727 of the LORD3068 compassed5437 853 the city,5892 going about5362 it once:259 6471 and they came935 into the camp,4264 and lodged3885 in the camp.4264

12  And Joshua3091 rose early7925 in the morning,1242 and the priests3548 took up5375 853 the ark727 of the LORD.3068

13  And seven7651 priests3548 bearing5375 seven7651 trumpets7782 of rams' horns3104 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 went on continually,1980 1980 and blew8628 with the trumpets:7782 and the armed men2502 went1980 before6440 them; but the rearward622 came1980 after310 the ark727 of the LORD,3068 the priests going on,1980 and blowing8628 with the trumpets.7782

14  And the second8145 day3117 they compassed5437 853 the city5892 once,259 6471 and returned7725 into the camp:4264 so3541 they did6213 six8337 days.3117

15  And it came to pass1961 on the seventh7637 day,3117 that they rose early7925 about the dawning5927 of the day,7837 and compassed5437 853 the city5892 after the same2088 manner4941 seven7651 times:6471 only7535 on that2088 day3117 they compassed5437 853 the city5892 seven7651 times.6471

16  And it came to pass1961 at the seventh7637 time,6471 when the priests3548 blew8628 with the trumpets,7782 Joshua3091 said559 unto413 the people,5971 Shout;7321 for3588 the LORD3068 hath given5414 you 853 the city.5892

17  And the city5892 shall be1961 accursed,2764 even it,1931 and all3605 that834 are therein, to the LORD:3068 only7535 Rahab7343 the harlot2181 shall live,2421 she1931 and all3605 that834 are with854 her in the house,1004 because3588 she hid2244 853 the messengers4397 that834 we sent.7971

18  And ye,859 in any wise7357 keep8104 yourselves from4480 the accursed thing,2764 lest6435 ye make yourselves accursed,2763 when ye take3947 of4480 the accursed thing,2764 and make7760 853 the camp4264 of Israel3478 a curse,2764 and trouble5916 it.

19  But all3605 the silver,3701 and gold,2091 and vessels3627 of brass5178 and iron,1270 are consecrated6944 unto the LORD:3068 they shall come935 into the treasury214 of the LORD.3068

20  So the people5971 shouted7321 when the priests blew8628 with the trumpets:7782 and it came to pass,1961 when the people5971 heard8085 853 the sound6963 of the trumpet,7782 and the people5971 shouted7321 with a great1419 shout,8643 that the wall2346 fell down5307 flat,8478 so that the people5971 went up5927 into the city,5892 every man376 straight before5048 him, and they took3920 853 the city.5892

21  And they utterly destroyed2763 853 all3605 that834 was in the city,5892 both man4480 376 and woman,802 young4480 5288 and old,2205 and ox,7794 and sheep,7716 and ass,2543 with the edge6310 of the sword.2719

22  But Joshua3091 had said559 unto the two8147 men376 that had spied out7270 853 the country,776 Go into935 the harlot's802 2181 house,1004 and bring out3318 thence4480 8033 853 the woman,802 and all3605 that834 she hath, as834 ye swore7650 unto her.

23  And the young men5288 that were spies7270 went in,935 and brought out3318 853 Rahab,7343 and her father,1 and her mother,517 and her brethren,251 and all3605 that834 she had; and they brought out3318 all3605 her kindred,4940 and left5117 them without4480 2351 the camp4264 of Israel.3478

24  And they burnt8313 the city5892 with fire,784 and all3605 that834 was therein: only7535 the silver,3701 and the gold,2091 and the vessels3627 of brass5178 and of iron,1270 they put5414 into the treasury214 of the house1004 of the LORD.3068

25  And Joshua3091 saved2421 Rahab7343 the harlot2181 alive, and her father's1 household,1004 and all3605 that834 she had; and she dwelleth3427 in7130 Israel3478 even unto5704 this2088 day;3117 because3588 she hid2244 853 the messengers,4397 which834 Joshua3091 sent7971 to spy out7270 853 Jericho.3405

26  And Joshua3091 adjured7650 them at that1931 time,6256 saying,559 Cursed779 be the man376 before6440 the LORD,3068 that834 riseth up6965 and buildeth1129 853 this2063 city5892 853 Jericho:3405 he shall lay the foundation3245 thereof in his firstborn,1060 and in his youngest6810 son shall he set up5324 the gates1817 of it.

27  So the LORD3068 was1961 with854 Joshua;3091 and his fame8089 was1961 noised throughout all3605 the country.776

1 καὶ Ιεριχω συγκεκλεισμένη καὶ ὠχυρωμένη καὶ οὐθεὶς ἐξεπορεύετο ἐξ αὐτῆς οὐδὲ εἰσεπορεύετο

2 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι ὑποχείριόν σου τὴν Ιεριχω καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς τὸν ἐν αὐτῇ δυνατοὺς ὄντας ἐν ἰσχύι

3 σὺ δὲ περίστησον αὐτῇ τοὺς μαχίμους κύκλῳ

5 καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν σαλπίσητε τῇ σάλπιγγι ἀνακραγέτω πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἅμα καὶ ἀνακραγόντων αὐτῶν πεσεῖται αὐτόματα τὰ τείχη τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἰσελεύσεται πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁρμήσας ἕκαστος κατὰ πρόσωπον εἰς τὴν πόλιν

6 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυη πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς

7 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς λέγων παραγγείλατε τῷ λαῷ περιελθεῖν καὶ κυκλῶσαι τὴν πόλιν καὶ οἱ μάχιμοι παραπορευέσθωσαν ἐνωπλισμένοι ἐναντίον κυρίου

8 καὶ ἑπτὰ ἱερεῖς ἔχοντες ἑπτὰ σάλπιγγας ἱερὰς παρελθέτωσαν ὡσαύτως ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου καὶ σημαινέτωσαν εὐτόνως καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐπακολουθείτω

9 οἱ δὲ μάχιμοι ἔμπροσθεν παραπορευέσθωσαν καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ οὐραγοῦντες ὀπίσω τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου πορευόμενοι καὶ σαλπίζοντες

10 τῷ δὲ λαῷ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς λέγων μὴ βοᾶτε μηδὲ ἀκουσάτω μηθεὶς ὑμῶν τὴν φωνήν ἕως ἂν ἡμέραν αὐτὸς διαγγείλῃ ἀναβοῆσαι καὶ τότε ἀναβοήσετε

11 καὶ περιελθοῦσα ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ θεοῦ τὴν πόλιν εὐθέως ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ

12 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ ἀνέστη Ἰησοῦς τὸ πρωί καὶ ἦραν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου

13 καὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ ἱερεῖς οἱ φέροντες τὰς σάλπιγγας τὰς ἑπτὰ προεπορεύοντο ἐναντίον κυρίου καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ μάχιμοι καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς ὄχλος ὄπισθε τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξι καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς ὄχλος ἅπας περιεκύκλωσε τὴν πόλιν ἐγγύθεν

14 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν οὕτως ἐποίει ἐπὶ ἓξ ἡμέρας

15 καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἀνέστησαν ὄρθρου καὶ περιήλθοσαν τὴν πόλιν ἑξάκις

16 καὶ τῇ περιόδῳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐσάλπισαν οἱ ἱερεῖς καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ κεκράξατε παρέδωκεν γὰρ κύριος ὑμῖν τὴν πόλιν

17 καὶ ἔσται ἡ πόλις ἀνάθεμα αὐτὴ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ κυρίῳ σαβαωθ πλὴν Ρααβ τὴν πόρνην περιποιήσασθε αὐτὴν καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτῆς

18 ἀλλὰ ὑμεῖς φυλάξασθε σφόδρα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος μήποτε ἐνθυμηθέντες ὑμεῖς αὐτοὶ λάβητε ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος καὶ ποιήσητε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἀνάθεμα καὶ ἐκτρίψητε ἡμᾶς

19 καὶ πᾶν ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον ἢ χαλκὸς ἢ σίδηρος ἅγιον ἔσται τῷ κυρίῳ εἰς θησαυρὸν κυρίου εἰσενεχθήσεται

20 καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν οἱ ἱερεῖς ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς τὴν φωνὴν τῶν σαλπίγγων ἠλάλαξεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἅμα ἀλαλαγμῷ μεγάλῳ καὶ ἰσχυρῷ καὶ ἔπεσεν ἅπαν τὸ τεῖχος κύκλῳ καὶ ἀνέβη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὴν πόλιν

21 καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισεν αὐτὴν Ἰησοῦς καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἕως γυναικός ἀπὸ νεανίσκου καὶ ἕως πρεσβύτου καὶ ἕως μόσχου καὶ ὑποζυγίου ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας

22 καὶ τοῖς δυσὶν νεανίσκοις τοῖς κατασκοπεύσασιν εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς εἰσέλθατε εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ ἐξαγάγετε αὐτὴν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῇ

23 καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι οἱ κατασκοπεύσαντες τὴν πόλιν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ ἐξηγάγοσαν Ρααβ τὴν πόρνην καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἦν αὐτῇ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συγγένειαν αὐτῆς καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτὴν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς Ισραηλ

24 καὶ ἡ πόλις ἐνεπρήσθη ἐμπυρισμῷ σὺν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἐν αὐτῇ πλὴν ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου ἔδωκαν εἰς θησαυρὸν κυρίου εἰσενεχθῆναι

25 καὶ Ρααβ τὴν πόρνην καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον τὸν πατρικὸν αὐτῆς ἐζώγρησεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας διότι ἔκρυψεν τοὺς κατασκοπεύσαντας οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς κατασκοπεῦσαι τὴν Ιεριχω

26 καὶ ὥρκισεν Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐναντίον κυρίου λέγων ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς οἰκοδομήσει τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην ἐν τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ αὐτοῦ θεμελιώσει αὐτὴν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπιστήσει τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν Οζαν ὁ ἐκ Βαιθηλ ἐν τῷ Αβιρων τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ διασωθέντι ἐπέστησεν τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς

27 καὶ ἦν κύριος μετὰ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ἦν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν

1 Jericho autem clausa erat atque munita, timore filiorum Israël, et nullus egredi audebat aut ingredi.

2 Dixitque Dominus ad Josue: Ecce dedi in manu tua Jericho, et regem ejus, omnesque fortes viros.

3 Circuite urbem cuncti bellatores semel per diem: sic facietis sex diebus.

4 Septimo autem die, sacerdotes tollant septem buccinas, quarum usus est in jubilæo, et præcedant arcam fœderis: septiesque circuibitis civitatem, et sacerdotes clangent buccinis.

5 Cumque insonuerit vox tubæ longior atque concisior, et in auribus vestris increpuerit, conclamabit omnis populus vociferatione maxima, et muri funditus corruent civitatis, ingredienturque singuli per locum contra quem steterint.

6 Vocavit ergo Josue filius Nun sacerdotes, et dixit ad eos: Tollite arcam fœderis: et septem alii sacerdotes tollant septem jubilæorum buccinas, et incedant ante arcam Domini.

7 Ad populum quoque ait: Ite, et circuite civitatem, armati, præcedentes arcam Domini.

8 Cumque Josue verba finisset, et septem sacerdotes septem buccinis clangerent ante arcam fœderis Domini,

9 omnisque præcederet armatus exercitus, reliquum vulgus arcam sequebatur, ac buccinis omnia concrepabant.

10 Præceperat autem Josue populo, dicens: Non clamabitis, nec audietur vox vestra, neque ullus sermo ex ore vestro egredietur, donec veniat dies in quo dicam vobis: Clamate, et vociferamini.

11 Circuivit ergo arca Domini civitatem semel per diem, et reversa in castra mansit ibi.

12 Igitur Josue de nocte consurgente, tulerunt sacerdotes arcam Domini,

13 et septem ex eis septem buccinas, quarum in jubilæo usus est: præcedebantque arcam Domini ambulantes atque clangentes: et armatus populus ibat ante eos, vulgus autem reliquum sequebatur arcam, et buccinis personabat.

14 Circuieruntque civitatem secundo die semel, et reversi sunt in castra. Sic fecerunt sex diebus.

15 Dies autem septimo, diluculo consurgentes, circuierunt urbem, sicut dispositum erat, septies.

16 Cumque septimo circuitu clangerent buccinis sacerdotes, dixit Josue ad omnem Israël: Vociferamini: tradidit enim vobis Dominus civitatem.

17 Sitque civitas hæc anathema, et omnia quæ in ea sunt, Domino: sola Rahab meretrix vivat, cum universis qui cum ea in domo sunt: abscondit enim nuntios quos direximus.

18 Vos autem cavete ne de his, quæ præcepta sunt, quippiam contingatis, et sitis prævaricationis rei, et omnia castra Israël sub peccato sint atque turbentur.

19 Quidquid autem auri et argenti fuerit, et vasorum æneorum ac ferri, Domino consecretur, repositum in thesauris ejus.

20 Igitur omni populo vociferante, et clangentibus tubis, postquam in aures multitudinis vox sonitusque increpuit, muri illico corruerunt: et ascendit unusquisque per locum qui contra se erat: ceperuntque civitatem,

21 et interfecerunt omnia quæ erant in ea, a viro usque ad mulierem, ab infante usque ad senem. Boves quoque et oves et asinos in ore gladii percusserunt.

22 Duobus autem viris, qui exploratores missi fuerant, dixit Josue: Ingredimini domum mulieris meretricis, et producite eam, et omnia quæ illius sunt, sicut illi juramento firmastis.

23 Ingressique juvenes eduxerunt Rahab, et parentes ejus, fratres quoque, et cunctam supellectilem ac cognationem illius, et extra castra Israël manere fecerunt.

24 Urbem autem, et omnia quæ erant in ea, succenderunt, absque auro et argento, et vasis æneis, ac ferro, quæ in ærarium Domini consecrarunt.

25 Rahab vero meretricem, et domum patris ejus, et omnia quæ habebat, fecit Josue vivere, et habitaverunt in medio Israël, usque in præsentem diem: eo quod absconderit nuntios, quos miserat ut explorarent Jericho. In tempore illo, imprecatus est Josue, dicens:

26 Maledictus vir coram Domino, qui suscitaverit et ædificaverit civitatem Jericho. In primogenito suo fundamenta illius jaciat, et in novissimo liberorum ponat portas ejus.

27 Fuit ergo Dominus cum Josue, et nomen ejus vulgatum est in omni terra.
