VI
ἐξ αὐτῆς οὐδὲ εἰσεπορεύετο.

καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι τὴν Ἰερειχὼ ὑποχειρίαν καὶ τὸν βασιλέα αὐτῆς τὸν
ἐν αὐτῇ, δυνατοὺς ὄντας ἐν ἰσχύι

σὺ δὲ περίστησον αὐτῇ τοὺς
μαχίμους κύκλῳ.

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.

Καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἰησοῦς ὁ τοῦ
Ναυὴ πρὸς τοὺς ἱερεῖς

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς λέγων Παραγγείλατε τῷ λαῷ περιελθεῖν καὶ κυκλῶσαι τὴν πόλιν, καὶ οἱ μάχιμοι παραπορευέσθωσαν
ἐνωπλισμένοι ἐναντίον κυρίου·

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

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

τῷ δὲ λαῷ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς λέγων Μὴ βοᾶτε, μηδὲ ἀκουσάτω μηθεὶς ὑμῶν τὴν φωνήν, ἕως ἂν ἡμέραν αὐτὸς
ἀναβοῆσαι· καὶ τότε ἀναβοήσετε.

καὶ περιελθοῦσα ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ θεοῦ εὐθέως ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, καὶ ἐκοιμήθη
ἐκεῖ.

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

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 ἴε ’ρεῖς ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξι καὶ ὁ λοιπὸς ὄχλος ἅπας περιεκύκλωσε τὴν πόλιν ἐγγύθεν,

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

καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἀνέστησαν ὄρθρου, καὶ περιήλθοσαν
τὴν πόλιν ἑξάκις·

καὶ τῇ περιόδῳ ἑβδόμῃ ἐσάλπισαν οἱ ἱερεῖς, καὶ
εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ Κεκράξατε· παρέδωκεν γὰρ κύριος ὑμῖν τὴν πόλιν.

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

ἀλλὰ ὑμεῖς φυλάξασθε
σφόδρα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος, μή ποτε ἐνθυμηθέντες ὑμεῖς αὐτοὶ λάβητε ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος καὶ ποιήσητε τὴν παρεμβολὴν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἀνάθεμα, καὶ ἐκτρίψητε ἡμᾶς.

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

καὶ ἐσάλπισαν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν οἱ ἱερεῖς· ὡς δὲ
ἤκουσεν ὁ λαὸς 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.

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 ³
ῥομφαίας.

Καὶ τοῖς δυσὶν νεανίσκοις τοῖς κατασκοπεύσασιν ⁴ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦ Εἰσέλθατε εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς γυναικός, καὶ ἐξαγάγετε
αὐτὴν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῇ.

καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι οἱ κατασκοπεύσαντες τὴν πόλιν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν τῆς γυναικός, καὶ ἐξηγάγοσαν Ῥαὰβ τὴν πόρνην καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῆς καὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτῆς καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῆς ¶ καὶ τὴν συγγενίαν αὐτῆς καὶ πάντα ὅσα ¶
ἦν αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέστησαν αὐτὴν ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς Ἰσραήλ.

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

καὶ Ῥαὰβ τὴν πόρνην καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον τὸν πατρικὸν αὐτῆς ἐζώγρησεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ κατῴκησεν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας, διότι ἔκρυψεν τοὺς κατασκοπεύσαντας οὓς
ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς κατασκοπεῦσαι τὴν Ἰερειχώ.

Καὶ ὥρκισεν Ιησοῦς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνη ἐναντίον κυρίου λέγων ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς οἰκοδομήσει τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην· ἐν τῷ αὐτοῦ θεμελιώσει αὐτήν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ αὐτοῦ ἐπιστήσει τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς. καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν Ὁζὰν ὁ ἐκ Βαιθήλ· ἐν τῷ Ἀβειρὼν τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ διασωθέντι
ἐπέστησεν τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς.

Καὶ ἦν κύριος μετὰ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ ἢν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.

Translations (1)

Joshua Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 6 focus

Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

Yahweh said to Joshua, Behold, I have given into your hand Jericho, and the king of it, and the mighty men of valor.

You shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shall you do six days.

Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark: and the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him.

Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh.

They said to the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Yahweh.

It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.

The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.

Joshua commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you shout.

So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahweh.

The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of Yahweh, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.

The second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on the day they compassed the city seven times.

It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for Yahweh has given you the city.

The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is therein, to Yahweh: only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Yahweh: they shall come into the treasury of Yahweh.

So the people shouted, and [the priests] blew the trumpets; and it happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring out there the woman, and all that she has, as you swore to her.

The young men the spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; all her relatives also they brought out; and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.

They burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of Yahweh.

But Rahab the prostitute, and her father’s household, and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

Joshua charged them with an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Yahweh, that rises up and builds this city Jericho: with the loss of his firstborn shall he lay the foundation of it, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
