Yosua 9:13

9:13 These wineskins we filled were brand new, but look how they have ripped. Our clothes and sandals have worn out because it has been a very long journey.”

Yosua 6:17

6:17 The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the Lord, ³  except for Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the spies ⁴  we sent.

Yosua 17:11

17:11 Within Issachar’s and Asher’s territory Manasseh was assigned Beth Shean, Ibleam, the residents of Dor, En Dor, the residents of Taanach, the residents of Megiddo, ⁵  the three of Napheth, ⁶  and the towns surrounding all these cities. ⁷ 

Yosua 8:26

8:26 Joshua kept holding out his curved sword until Israel had annihilated all who lived in Ai. ⁸ 

Yosua 7:4

7:4 So about three thousand men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai.

Yosua 11:11

11:11 They annihilated everyone who lived there with the sword ⁹  – no one who breathed remained – and burned ¹⁰  Hazor.

Yosua 15:15

15:15 From there he attacked the people of Debir. ¹¹  (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher.)

Yosua 21:45

21:45 Not one of the Lord’s faithful promises to the family of Israel ¹²  was left unfulfilled; every one was realized. ¹³ 

Yosua 10:37

10:37 They captured it and put the sword to its king, all its surrounding cities, and all who lived in it; they ¹⁴  left no survivors. As they ¹⁵  had done at Eglon, they ¹⁶  annihilated it and all who lived there.

Yosua 2:9

2:9 She said to the men, “I know the Lord is handing this land over to you. ¹⁷  We are absolutely terrified of you, ¹⁸  and all who live in the land are cringing before ¹⁹  you. ²⁰ 

Yosua 2:18

2:18 When we invade the land ²¹ , tie this red rope ²²  in the window through which you let us down, and gather together in your house your father, mother, brothers, and all who live in your father’s house. ²³ 

Yosua 2:24

2:24 They told Joshua, “Surely the Lord is handing over all the land to us! ²⁴  All who live in the land are cringing before us!” ²⁵ 

Yosua 7:18

7:18 He then made Zabdi’s ²⁶  family approach man by man ²⁷  and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected.

Yosua 8:25

8:25 Twelve thousand men and women died ²⁸  that day, including all the men of Ai.

Yosua 9:3

9:3 When the residents of Gibeon heard what Joshua did to Jericho ²⁹  and Ai,

Yosua 10:32

10:32 The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel and they ³⁰  captured it on the second day. They put the sword to all who lived there, just as they had done to Libnah.

Yosua 10:35

10:35 That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they ³¹  annihilated it just as they ³²  had done to Lachish.

Yosua 15:63

15:63 The men of Judah were unable to conquer the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. ³³  The Jebusites live with the people of Judah in Jerusalem to this very day. ³⁴ 

Yosua 18:5

18:5 Divide it into seven regions. ³⁵  Judah will stay ³⁶  in its territory in the south, and the family ³⁷  of Joseph in its territory in the north.

Yosua 7:14

Yosua 10:28

Joshua Launches a Southern Campaign

10:28 That day Joshua captured Makkedah and put the sword to it and its king. He annihilated everyone who lived in it; he left no survivors. He did to its king what he had done to the king of Jericho. ⁴² 

Yosua 24:15

24:15 If you have no desire ⁴³  to worship ⁴⁴  the Lord, choose today whom you will worship, ⁴⁵  whether it be the gods whom your ancestors ⁴⁶  worshiped ⁴⁷  beyond the Euphrates, ⁴⁸  or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family ⁴⁹  will worship ⁵⁰  the Lord!”

Yosua 17:12

17:12 But the men ⁵¹  of Manasseh were unable to conquer these cities; the Canaanites managed ⁵²  to remain in those areas.

Yosua 2:12

2:12 So now, promise me this with an oath sworn in the Lord’s name. ⁵³  Because I have shown allegiance to you, show allegiance to my family. ⁵⁴  Give me a solemn pledge ⁵⁵ 

Yosua 6:25

6:25 Yet Joshua spared ⁵⁶  Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family, ⁵⁷  and all who belonged to her. She lives in Israel ⁵⁸  to this very day because she hid the messengers Joshua sent to spy on Jericho. ⁵⁹ 

Yosua 7:9

7:9 When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will turn against us and destroy the very memory of us ⁶⁰  from the earth. What will you do to protect your great reputation?” ⁶¹ 

Yosua 8:24

8:24 When Israel had finished killing all the men ⁶²  of Ai who had chased them toward the desert ⁶³  (they all fell by the sword), ⁶⁴  all Israel returned to Ai and put the sword to it.

Yosua 9:11

9:11 Our leaders and all who live in our land told us, ‘Take provisions for your journey and go meet them. Tell them, “We are willing to be your subjects. ⁶⁵  Make a treaty with us.”’

Yosua 10:30

10:30 The Lord handed it and its king over to Israel, and Israel ⁶⁶  put the sword to all who lived there; they ⁶⁷  left no survivors. They ⁶⁸  did to its king what they ⁶⁹  had done to the king of Jericho. ⁷⁰ 

Yosua 10:39

10:39 They ⁷¹  captured it, its king, and all its surrounding cities and put the sword to them. They annihilated everyone who lived there; they ⁷²  left no survivors. They ⁷³  did to Debir and its king what they ⁷⁴  had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron. ⁷⁵ 

Yosua 21:1

Levitical Cities

21:1 The tribal leaders of the Levites went before Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun and the Israelite tribal leaders

Yosua 7:17

7:17 He then made the clans of Judah approach and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He made the clan of the Zerahites approach and Zabdi ⁷⁶  was selected. ⁷⁷ 

Yosua 17:7

17:7 The border of Manasseh went ⁷⁸  from Asher to Micmethath which is near ⁷⁹  Shechem. It then went south toward those who live in Tappuah.

Yosua 17:17

17:17 Joshua said to the family ⁸⁰  of Joseph – to both Ephraim and Manasseh: “You have many people and great military strength. You will not have just one tribal allotment.

Yosua 22:14

22:14 He was accompanied by ten leaders, one from each of the Israelite tribes, each one a family leader among the Israelite clans. ⁸¹ 

Yosua 24:18

24:18 The Lord drove out from before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship ⁸²  the Lord, for he is our God!”

Yosua 9:24

9:24 They said to Joshua, “It was carefully reported to your subjects ⁸³  how the Lord your God commanded Moses his servant to assign you the whole land and to destroy all who live in the land from before you. Because of you we were terrified ⁸⁴  we would lose our lives, so we did this thing.

Yosua 1:8

1:8 This law scroll must not leave your lips! ⁸⁵  You must memorize it ⁸⁶  day and night so you can carefully obey ⁸⁷  all that is written in it. Then you will prosper ⁸⁸  and be successful. ⁸⁹ 

Yosua 10:1

Israel Defeats an Amorite Coalition

10:1 Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, ⁹⁰  heard how Joshua captured Ai and annihilated it and its king as he did Jericho ⁹¹  and its king. ⁹²  He also heard how ⁹³  the people of Gibeon made peace with Israel and lived among them.

Yosua 13:6

13:6 I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim, ⁹⁴  all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.” ⁹⁵ 

Yosua 14:1

Judah’s Tribal Lands

14:1 The following is a record of the territory assigned to the Israelites in the land of Canaan by Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders. ⁹⁶ 

Yosua 19:51

19:51 These are the land assignments which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders ⁹⁷  made by drawing lots in Shiloh before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. ⁹⁸  So they finished dividing up the land.

Yosua 23:14

23:14 “Look, today I am about to die. ⁹⁹  You know with all your heart and being ¹⁰⁰  that not even one of all the faithful promises the Lord your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized – not one promise is unfulfilled! ¹⁰¹ 

Yosua 24:11

24:11 You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. ¹⁰²  The leaders ¹⁰³  of Jericho, as well as the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, fought with you, but I handed them over to you.

[6:24]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”

[6:24]  ² tn Heb “the treasury of the house of the Lord.” Technically the Lord did not have a “house” yet, so perhaps this refers to the tabernacle using later terminology.

[6:17]  ³ tn Or “dedicated to the Lord.”

[6:17]  sn To make the city set apart for the Lord would involve annihilating all the people and animals and placing its riches in the Lord’s treasury (vv. 19, 21, 24).

[2:9]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”

[2:9]  ¹⁹ tn Or “melting away because of.”

[2:9]  ²⁰ tn Both of these statements are actually subordinated to “I know” in the Hebrew text, which reads, “I know that the Lord…and that terror of you…and that all the inhabitants….”

[24:15]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “house.”

[24:15]  ⁵⁰ tn Or “will serve.”

[17:12]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “sons”; “men” has been used in the translation because the context involves the conquest of cities; therefore, warriors (hence males) would be in view here.

[17:12]  ⁵² tn Or “were determined.”

[2:12]  ⁵³ tn Heb “Now, swear to me by the Lord.”

[2:12]  sn To swear an oath in the Lord’s name would make the Lord the witness and guarantor of the promise attached to the oath. If the person making the oath should go back on the promise, the Lord would judge him for breaking the contract.
