Joshua Chapter 11 יְהוֹשֻׁעַ

א  וַיְהִי, כִּשְׁמֹעַ יָבִין מֶלֶךְ-חָצוֹר; וַיִּשְׁלַח, אֶל-יוֹבָב מֶלֶךְ מָדוֹן, וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ שִׁמְרוֹן, וְאֶל-מֶלֶךְ אַכְשָׁף. 1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
ב  וְאֶל-הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר מִצְּפוֹן, בָּהָר וּבָעֲרָבָה נֶגֶב כִּנְרוֹת--וּבַשְּׁפֵלָה; וּבְנָפוֹת דּוֹר, מִיָּם. 2 and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the Lowland, and in the regions of Dor on the west,
ג  הַכְּנַעֲנִי מִמִּזְרָח וּמִיָּם, וְהָאֱמֹרִי וְהַחִתִּי וְהַפְּרִזִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי בָּהָר; וְהַחִוִּי תַּחַת חֶרְמוֹן, בְּאֶרֶץ הַמִּצְפָּה. 3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
ד  וַיֵּצְאוּ הֵם, וְכָל-מַחֲנֵיהֶם עִמָּם--עַם-רָב, כַּחוֹל אֲשֶׁר עַל-שְׂפַת-הַיָּם לָרֹב; וְסוּס וָרֶכֶב, רַב-מְאֹד. 4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
ה  וַיִּוָּעֲדוּ, כֹּל הַמְּלָכִים הָאֵלֶּה; וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיַּחֲנוּ יַחְדָּו, אֶל-מֵי מֵרוֹם, לְהִלָּחֵם, עִם-יִשְׂרָאֵל.  {פ} 5 And all these kings met together, and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel. {P}
ו  וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, אַל-תִּירָא מִפְּנֵיהֶם--כִּי-מָחָר כָּעֵת הַזֹּאת אָנֹכִי נֹתֵן אֶת-כֻּלָּם חֲלָלִים, לִפְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל; אֶת-סוּסֵיהֶם תְּעַקֵּר, וְאֶת-מַרְכְּבֹתֵיהֶם תִּשְׂרֹף בָּאֵשׁ. 6 And the LORD said unto Joshua: 'Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel; thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.'
ז  וַיָּבֹא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ וְכָל-עַם הַמִּלְחָמָה עִמּוֹ עֲלֵיהֶם, עַל-מֵי מֵרוֹם--פִּתְאֹם; וַיִּפְּלוּ, בָּהֶם. 7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.
ח  וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה בְּיַד-יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַיַּכּוּם, וַיִּרְדְּפוּם עַד-צִידוֹן רַבָּה וְעַד מִשְׂרְפוֹת מַיִם, וְעַד-בִּקְעַת מִצְפֶּה מִזְרָחָה; וַיַּכֻּם, עַד-בִּלְתִּי הִשְׁאִיר-לָהֶם שָׂרִיד. 8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
ט  וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר-לוֹ יְהוָה:  אֶת-סוּסֵיהֶם עִקֵּר, וְאֶת-מַרְכְּבֹתֵיהֶם שָׂרַף בָּאֵשׁ.  {ס} 9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him; he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. {S}
י  וַיָּשָׁב יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בָּעֵת הַהִיא, וַיִּלְכֹּד אֶת-חָצוֹר, וְאֶת-מַלְכָּהּ, הִכָּה בֶחָרֶב:  כִּי-חָצוֹר לְפָנִים--הִיא, רֹאשׁ כָּל-הַמַּמְלָכוֹת הָאֵלֶּה. 10 And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
יא  וַיַּכּוּ אֶת-כָּל-הַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר-בָּהּ לְפִי-חֶרֶב, הַחֲרֵם--לֹא נוֹתַר, כָּל-נְשָׁמָה; וְאֶת-חָצוֹר, שָׂרַף בָּאֵשׁ. 11 And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed; and he burnt Hazor with fire.
יב  וְאֶת-כָּל-עָרֵי הַמְּלָכִים-הָאֵלֶּה וְאֶת-כָּל-מַלְכֵיהֶם לָכַד יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, וַיַּכֵּם לְפִי-חֶרֶב--הֶחֱרִים אוֹתָם:  כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה, מֹשֶׁה עֶבֶד יְהוָה. 12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
יג  רַק כָּל-הֶעָרִים, הָעֹמְדוֹת עַל-תִּלָּם--לֹא שְׂרָפָם, יִשְׂרָאֵל:  זוּלָתִי אֶת-חָצוֹר לְבַדָּהּ, שָׂרַף יְהוֹשֻׁעַ. 13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only--that did Joshua burn.
יד  וְכֹל שְׁלַל הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה, וְהַבְּהֵמָה, בָּזְזוּ לָהֶם, בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:  רַק אֶת-כָּל-הָאָדָם הִכּוּ לְפִי-חֶרֶב, עַד-הִשְׁמִדָם אוֹתָם--לֹא הִשְׁאִירוּ, כָּל-נְשָׁמָה. 14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any that breathed.
טו  כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה עַבְדּוֹ, כֵּן-צִוָּה מֹשֶׁה אֶת-יְהוֹשֻׁעַ; וְכֵן, עָשָׂה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ--לֹא-הֵסִיר דָּבָר, מִכֹּל אֲשֶׁר-צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה. 15 As the LORD commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua; and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
טז  וַיִּקַּח יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ הַזֹּאת, הָהָר וְאֶת-כָּל-הַנֶּגֶב וְאֵת כָּל-אֶרֶץ הַגֹּשֶׁן, וְאֶת-הַשְּׁפֵלָה, וְאֶת-הָעֲרָבָה; וְאֶת-הַר יִשְׂרָאֵל, וּשְׁפֵלָתֹה. 16 So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country, and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the Lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill-country of Israel, and the Lowland of the same;
יז  מִן-הָהָר הֶחָלָק, הָעוֹלֶה שֵׂעִיר, וְעַד-בַּעַל גָּד בְּבִקְעַת הַלְּבָנוֹן, תַּחַת הַר-חֶרְמוֹן; וְאֵת כָּל-מַלְכֵיהֶם לָכַד, וַיַּכֵּם וַיְמִיתֵם. 17 from the bare mountain, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon; and all their kings he took, and smote them, and put them to death.
יח  יָמִים רַבִּים, עָשָׂה יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-כָּל-הַמְּלָכִים הָאֵלֶּה--מִלְחָמָה. 18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
יט  לֹא-הָיְתָה עִיר, אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁלִימָה אֶל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, בִּלְתִּי הַחִוִּי, יֹשְׁבֵי גִבְעוֹן:  אֶת-הַכֹּל, לָקְחוּ בַמִּלְחָמָה. 19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon; they took all in battle.
כ  כִּי מֵאֵת יְהוָה הָיְתָה לְחַזֵּק אֶת-לִבָּם לִקְרַאת הַמִּלְחָמָה אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְמַעַן הַחֲרִימָם, לְבִלְתִּי הֱיוֹת-לָהֶם, תְּחִנָּה:  כִּי לְמַעַן הַשְׁמִידָם, כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֶת-מֹשֶׁה.  {ס} 20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that they might be utterly destroyed, that they might have no favour, but that they might be destroyed, as the LORD commanded Moses. {S}
כא  וַיָּבֹא יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בָּעֵת הַהִיא, וַיַּכְרֵת אֶת-הָעֲנָקִים מִן-הָהָר מִן-חֶבְרוֹן מִן-דְּבִר מִן-עֲנָב, וּמִכֹּל הַר יְהוּדָה, וּמִכֹּל הַר יִשְׂרָאֵל:  עִם-עָרֵיהֶם, הֶחֱרִימָם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ. 21 And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
כב  לֹא-נוֹתַר עֲנָקִים, בְּאֶרֶץ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:  רַק, בְּעַזָּה בְּגַת וּבְאַשְׁדּוֹד--נִשְׁאָרוּ. 22 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
כג  וַיִּקַּח יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶת-כָּל-הָאָרֶץ, כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֶל-מֹשֶׁה, וַיִּתְּנָהּ יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לְנַחֲלָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל כְּמַחְלְקֹתָם, לְשִׁבְטֵיהֶם; וְהָאָרֶץ שָׁקְטָה, מִמִּלְחָמָה.  {ס} 23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD spoke unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war. {S}
