Joshua 9:3 Cross References - Rotherham

³ Now, the inhabitants of Gibeon, heard that which Joshua had done unto Jericho and unto Ai;

¹ Now, Jericho, was shut up and barred because of the sons of Israel,––none came out and none went in. ² Then said Yahweh unto Joshua, See, I have delivered, into thy hand, Jericho and her king,––the mighty men of valour. ³ So then ye shall compass the city all ye men of war, going round the city, once,––thus, shall thou do six days. ⁴ And, seven priests, shall bear the seven rams’ horns before the ark, and, on the seventh day, shall ye compass the city seven times,––and, the priests, shall blow with the horns. ⁵ And it shall come to pass, when the ram’s horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout,––and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, and the people shall go up, every man straight before him.
⁶ Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant,––and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh. ⁷ Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city,––and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh. ⁸ And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams’ horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns,––the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them. ⁹ And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns,––and, the rear–guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns. ¹⁰ Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying––Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word,––until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout. ¹¹ So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once,––and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. ¹² And Joshua rose early in the morning,––and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh; ¹³ and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns,––with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear–guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns. ¹⁴ So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp,––thus, did they, six days. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times,––only on that day they compassed the city seven times. ¹⁶ And it came to pass, at the seventh time––when the priests blew with the horns, then did Joshua say unto the people––Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto you the city.
¹⁷ And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh,––nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. ¹⁸ But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted,––and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it. ¹⁹ But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh,––unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come. ²⁰ So the people shouted, when the horns were blown,––yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city. ²¹ And they devoted all that were in the city, both man and woman, both young and old,––and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword. ²² But, unto the two men who spied out the land, Joshua said, Go into the house of the woman, the harlot,––and bring out thence the woman and all that she hath, as ye aware unto her. ²³ So the young men the spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brethren and all that she had, yea, all her kindred, brought they out,––and set them outside the camp of Israel. ²⁴ But, the city, burned they with fire, and all that was therein,––save only, the silver and the gold and the vessels of bronze and of iron, put they into the treasury of the house of Yahweh. ²⁵ And, Rahab the harlot and the household of her father and all that she had, did Joshua save alive, so she hath dwelt in the midst of Israel until this day,––because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. ²⁶ And Joshua imposed an oath at that time, saying,––Cursed be the man before Yahweh who shall raise up and build this city––Jericho, At the price of his firstborn, shall he lay its foundation, and, at the price of his youngest, shall he set up its doors. ²⁷ And so it was that Yahweh was with Joshua,––and his fame was in all the land.

¹ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua––Do not fear nor be dismayed, take with thee all the army, and arise, go up to Ai,––see! I have given into thy hand, the king of Ai and his people, and his city, and his land; ² so shalt thou do unto Ai and to her king, as thou didst unto Jericho unto her king, save only, the spoil thereof and the cattle thereof, shall ye take as your own prey,––set thee an ambush for the city, behind it.
³ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai,––and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valour, and sent them forth by night. ⁴ And he commanded them, saying––See! ye, shall be lying in ambush against the city, behind the city, do not go very far from the city,––so shall ye all be ready. ⁵ But, I, and all the people who are with me, will draw near unto the city,––and it shall be, when they come out to meet us, as at the first, then will we flee before them; ⁶ so will they come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, Fleeing before us, as at the first! therefore will we flee before them. ⁷ Then, ye, shall rise up out of the ambush, and take possession of the city,––and Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand. ⁸ And it shall be, when ye have seized the city, then shall ye burn the city with fire, according to the word of Yahweh, shall ye do,––see! I have commanded you. ⁹ So Joshua sent them forth, and they went into ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai,––but Joshua lodged that night in the midst of the people. ¹⁰ And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered the people,––and went up––he and the elders of Israel, before the people, to Ai. ¹¹ And, all the people of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came in, right before the city,––and pitched on the north of Ai, with, a valley, between them and Ai. ¹² And he took about five thousand men,––and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city. ¹³ And, when the people had set all the host that was on the north of the city, with the rear thereof on the west of the city, then went Joshua, during the night, into the midst of the valley. ¹⁴ And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted, and rose up early, and the men of the city came out to meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at an appointed time, before the waste plain,––he not knowing that there was an ambush lying in wait for him, behind the city. ¹⁵ So then Joshua and all Israel suffered themselves to be smitten before them,––and fled, by the way of the wilderness; ¹⁶ and all the people who were in the city were called out to pursue them,––and they pursued Joshua, and so were drawn out away from the city. ¹⁷ And there remained not a man, in Ai or Bethel, who had not gone out after Israel,––and they left the city, open, and pursued Israel. ¹⁸ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua––Stretch out with the javelin which is in thy hand, towards Ai, for, into thy hand, will I deliver it. So Joshua stretched out with the javelin which was in his hand, towards the city. ¹⁹ And, the ambush, rose up quickly, out of their place, and ran, when he stretched out his hand, and entered the city, and captured it,––and hasted, and set the city on fire. ²⁰ And the men of Ai turned behind them, and looked, and lo! the smoke of the city had risen up towards the heavens, and there was in them no strength, to flee this way or that way,––moreover, the people that were fleeing to the wilderness, turned back upon the pursuers. ²¹ Yea, when, Joshua and all Israel, saw that the ambush had captured the city, and that the smoke of the city had risen up, then returned they, and smote the men of Ai. ²² And, the others, came forth out of the city to meet them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side,––and they smote them, until there was left them none to remain or to escape.
²³ And, the king of Ai, they caught alive,––and brought him near unto Joshua. ²⁴ And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness whither they had pursued them, and all of them had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, then all Israel returned to Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword. ²⁵ And so it was, that all who fell that day, both of men and of women, were twelve thousand,––all people of Ai. ²⁶ Now, Joshua, drew not back his hand which he had stretched out with the javelin,––until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. ²⁷ Nevertheless, the cattle and the spoil of that city, Israel took as their own prey,––according to the word of Yahweh, which he commanded Joshua. ²⁸ So then Joshua burned Ai,––and made of it an age–abiding heap––a desolation, [as it remaineth] until this day. ²⁹ And, the king of Ai, hanged he on a tree until eventide,––but, at the going in of the sun, Joshua gave command and they took down his dead body from the tree, and cast it in at the opening of the gate of the city, and raised up over it a great heap of stones––[which remaineth] until this day.
³⁰ Than, built Joshua, an altar, unto Yahweh, God of Israel,––in Mount Ebal: ³¹ as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, whereon had not been wielded any tool of iron,––and they caused to go up thereon, ascending–sacrifices unto Yahweh, and sacrificed peace–offerings. ³² Then wrote he there, upon the stones, a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the sons of Israel. ³³ And, all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, were standing on this side and on that side of the ark, before the priests the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as well the sojourner as the home–born, half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal,––as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded to bless the sons of Israel, first of all. ³⁴ And, after that, read he all the words of the law, the blessing and the cursing,––according to all that was written in the scroll of the law. ³⁵ Them was not a word of all that Moses commanded,––which Joshua read not before all the convocation of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the sojourner who was going on in their midst.

¹⁷ So the sons of Israel brake up, and came in unto their cities on the third day,––their cities, being Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath–jearim.

² then feared they greatly, because Gibeon was, a great city, as one of the royal cities,––and because, it, was greater than Ai, and, all the men thereof, were mighty:

¹ And there came to be a famine, in the days of David, for three years, year after year, so then David sought the face of Yahweh,––and Yahweh said––It respecteth Saul and his house, as to bloodshed, in that he put to death the Gibeonites. ² The king therefore called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now, the Gibeonites, were, not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, with whom, the sons of Israel, had entered into an oath, and Saul had sought to smite them, in his jealousy for the sons of Israel and Judah)––
