ThomsonNOW Jericho was shut up, and barricaded, so that none came out of it, nor went in.

BrentonNow Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in.

GreekΚαὶ Ἱεριχὼ συρκεκλεισμένη καὶ ὠχυρωμένη, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξεπορεύετο ἐξ αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ εἰσεπορεύετο.

ThomsonThen the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver into thy hand, Jericho, and the king thereof, who is in it, and the mighty men of valour.

BrentonAnd the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into thy power, and its king in it, and its mighty men.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν, ἰδον ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι ὑποχείριόν σοι τὴν Ἱεριχὼ, καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς τὸν ἐν αὐτῇ, δυνατοὺς ὄντας ἐν ἰσχύϊ.

ThomsonTherefore array thou the warriors around it.

BrentonAnd do thou set the men of war round about it.

GreekΣὺ δὲ περίστησον αὐτῇ τοὺς μαχίμους κύκλῳ.

Thomsonlet all the people at the same time shout; and upon their shouting, the walls of the city will fall of their own accord; and all the people shall enter, every one straight forward into the city.

BrentonAnd it shall be that when ye shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together. And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city.

GreekΚαὶ 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.

ThomsonThereupon Joshua son of Naue went to the priests,

BrentonAnd Joshua the son of Naue went in to the priests,

GreekΚαὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ Ναυῆ πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς,

Thomsonand spoke to them, saying, Order the people to march round, and encompass the city, and let the warriors march armed before the Lord;

Brentonand spoke to them, saying, Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord.

Greekκαὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, λέγων, παραγγείλατε τῷ λαῷ περιελθεῖν, καὶ κυκλῶσαι τὴν πόλιν· καὶ οἱ μάχιμοι παραπορευέσθωσαν ἐνωπλισμένοι ἐναντίον Κυρίου.

Thomsonand let the seven priests, who have the seven holy trumpets, march also before the Lord, and blow a long blast. And let the ark of the covenant of the Lord accompany them.

BrentonAnd let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.

GreekΚαὶ ἑπτὰ ἱερεῖς ἔχοντες ἑπτὰ σάλπιγγας ἱερὰς παρελθέτωσαν ὡσαύτως ἐναντίον τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ σημαινέτωσαν εὐτόνως· καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου ἐπακολουθείτω.

ThomsonLet the warriors march before, and the priests follow in the rear, after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, blowing the trumpets.

BrentonAnd let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord proceed sounding the trumpets.

GreekΟἱ δὲ μάχιμοι παραπορευέσθωσαν ἔμπροσθεν, καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ οὐραγοῦντες ὀπίσω τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου σαλπίζοντες.

ThomsonThen Joshua gave a charge to the people, saying, Shout not, nor let any one hear your voice, till the day when He shall command you to shout. Then you shall shout.

BrentonAnd Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then ye shall cry out.

GreekΤῷ δὲ λαῷ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς, λέγων, μὴ βοᾶτε, μηδὲ ἀκουσάτω μηδεὶς τὴν φωνὴν ὑμῶν, ἕως ἂν ἡμέραν διαγγείλῃ αὐτὸς ἀναβοῆσαι, καὶ τότε ἀναβοήσετε·

ThomsonSo when the ark of the covenant had gone round, it straightway returned to the camp, and lodged there.

BrentonAnd the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there.

GreekΚαὶ περιελθοῦσα ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ Θεοῦ εὐθέως ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ.

ThomsonAnd on the second day Joshua arose, early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord,

BrentonAnd on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

GreekΚαὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ δευτέρᾳ ἀνέστη Ἰησοῦς τοπρωῒ, καὶ ᾖραν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου.

Thomsonand the seven priests with the seven trumpets, marched on before and Lord and after them came the warriors, and all the rest of the multitude followed the ark of the covenant of the Lord. And the priests sounded the trumpets;

BrentonAnd the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

GreekΚαὶ οἱ ἑπτὰ ἱερεῖς οἱ φέροντες τὰς σάλπιγγας τὰς ἑπτὰ προεπορεύοντο ἐναντίον Κυρίου· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ μάχιμοι, καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς ὄχλος ὄπισθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου·

Thomsonand all the multitude compassed the city six times, very near, and returned again to the camp. Thus they did six days.

BrentonAnd all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.

Greekκαὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξι, καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς ὄχλος ἅπας περιεκύκλωσε τὴν πόλιν ἑξάκις ἐγγύθεν, καὶ ἀπῆλθε πάλιν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν· οὕτως ἐποίει ἐπὶ ἓξ ἡμέρας.

ThomsonBut on the seventh day—they arose very early, and went round the city that day seven times.

BrentonAnd on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.

GreekΚαὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἀνέστησαν ὄρθρου, καὶ περιήλθοσαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἑπτάκις.

ThomsonAnd, at the seventh round, the priests sounded the trumpets, and Joshua said to the Israelites, Shout, for the Lord hath delivered up the city to you.

BrentonAnd it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.

GreekΚαὶ ἐγένετο τῇ περιόδῳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἐσάλπισαν οἱ ἱερεῖς· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, κεκράξατε, παρέδωκε γὰρ Κύριος ὑμῖν τὴν πόλιν.

ThomsonAnd this city shall be an Anathema. It, and all that are in it, shall be devoted to the Lord of Sabaoth; save Rahab the harlot. Her you shall save alive, and all that are in her house.

BrentonAnd the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do ye save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house.

GreekΚαὶ ἔσται ἡ πόλις ἀνάθεμα, αὐτὴ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ, Κυρὶῳ σαβαώθ· πλὴν Ῥαὰβ τὴν πόρνην περιποιήσασθε αὐτὴν, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτῆς.

ThomsonBut be you very careful to abstain from the Anathema, lest peradventure you through covetousness, take something of what is devoted, and make the camp of the Israelites an Anathema, and destroy us.

BrentonBut keep yourselves strictly from the accursed thing, lest ye set your mind upon and take of the accursed thing, and ye make the camp of the children of Israel an accursed thing, and destroy us.

GreekἈγγὰ ὑμεῖς φυλάξεσθε σφόδρα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος, μήποτε ἐνθυμηθέντες ὑμεῖς αὐτοὶ λάβητε ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος, καὶ ποιήσητε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἀνάθεμα, καὶ ἐκτρίψητε ἡμᾶς.

ThomsonAll the silver, and the gold, and the brass, and the iron, shall be consecrated to the Lord, and carried to the Lord’s treasury.

BrentonAnd all the silver, or gold, or brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the treasury of the Lord.

GreekΚαὶ πᾶν ἀργύριον ἢ χρυσίον, ἢ χαλκὸς ἢ σίδηρος, ἅγιον ἔσται τῷ Κυρὶῳ· εἰς θησαυρὸν Κυρίου εἰσενεχθήσεται.

ThomsonThen the priests sounded the trumpets; and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people together uttered a great, loud, and continued shout, whereupon the whole wall round about fell, and all the people went up into the city.

BrentonAnd the priests sounded with the trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about, and all the people went up into the city:

GreekΚαὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν οἱ ἱερεῖς· ὡς δὲ ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς τῶν σαλπίγγων, ἠλάλαξε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἅμα ἀλαλαγμῷ μεγάλῳ καὶ ἰσχυρῷ· καὶ ἔπεσεν ἅπαν τὸ τεῖχος κύκλῳ· καὶ ἀνέβη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς εἰς τὴν πόλιν.

ThomsonNow when Joshua devoted it, and all that were in it, men and women, young and old, ox and ass, to the edge of the sword,

Brentonand Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.

GreekΚαὶ ἀνεθεμάτισεν αὐτὴν Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ὅσα ἦν ἐν τῇ πόλει ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς καὶ ἕως γυναικὸς, ἀπὸ νεανίσκου καὶ ἕως πρεσβύτου, καὶ ἕως μόσχου καὶ ὑποζυγίου, ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας.

Thomsonhe said to the two young men who had been sent as spies, Go to the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, with all that she hath.

BrentonAnd Joshua said to the two young men who had acted as spies, Go into the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, and all that she has.

GreekΚαὶ τοῖς δυσὶ νεανίσκοις τοῖς κατασκοπεύσασιν εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς, εἰσέλθατε εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς γυναικὸς, καὶ ἐξαγάγετε αὐτὴν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῇ.

ThomsonAnd when the two young men, who had spied the city had gone to the house of the woman, and had brought out Rahab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and her kindred, and all that were with her, and placed them without the camp of Israel,

BrentonAnd the two young men who had spied out the city entered into the house of the woman, and brought out Raab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and her kindred, and all that she had; and they set her without the camp of Israel.

GreekΚαὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι οἱ κατασκοπεύσαντες τὴν πόλιν, εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς γυναικὸς, καὶ ἐξηγάγοσαν Ῥαὰβ τὴν πόρνην, καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτῆς, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν συγγένειαν αὐτῆς, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἦν αὐτῆ· καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτὴν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς Ἰσραήλ.

Thomsonthe city was burned with fire, with all that were in it, save the silver, and gold, and the brass, and iron, which they gave to be carried to the treasury of the Lord.

BrentonAnd the city was burnt with fire with all things that were in it; only of the silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, they gave to be brought into the treasury of the Lord.

GreekΚαὶ ἡ πόλις ἐνεπρήσθη ἐν πυρισμῷ σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν αὐτῇ· πλὴν ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου ἔδωκαν εἰς θησαυρὸν Κυρίου εἰσενεχθῆναι.

ThomsonSo Joshua saved Rahab the harlot and all her father’s household alive. And at this day they dwell among Israel, because she concealed the spies whom Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho.

BrentonAnd Joshua saved alive Raab the harlot, and all the house of her father, and caused her to dwell in Israel until this day, because she hid the spies which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

GreekΚαὶ Ῥαὰβ τὴν πόρνην, καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτῆς τὸν πατρικὸν ἐζώγρησεν Ἰησοῦς· καὶ κατῴκισεν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας, διότι ἔκρυψε τοὺς κατασκοπεύαντας, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς κατασκοπεῦσαι τὴν Ἱεριχώ.

ThomsonAnd on that day Joshua uttered an imprecation before the Lord, saying, Cursed be the man who shall rebuild this city. With his first-born let him lay the foundation, and with his youngest son erect its gates. And so did Hozan of Baithel: he laid the foundation in Abiron, his first-born, and set up its gates by his youngest surviving son.

BrentonAnd Joshua adjured them on that day before the Lord, saying, Cursed be the man who shall build that city: he shall lay the foundation of it in his first-born, and he shall set up the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Bæthel; he laid the foundation in Abiron his first-born, and set up the gates of it in his youngest surviving son.

GreekΚαὶ 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 Ὁζᾶν ὁ ἐκ Βαιθήλ· ἐν τῷ Ἀβιρὼν τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ διασωθέντι ἐπέστησε τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς.

ThomsonThus the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread through all the land.

BrentonAnd the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was in all the land.

GreekΚαὶ ἦν Κύριος μετὰ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἦν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
