Balak Summons Balaam
Then the Israelites traveled to the plains of Moab and camped along the Jordan across from Jericho.
-
So on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them and said,
-
These are the ones counted by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
-
and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
-
They left the mountains of Abarim and camped on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
-
On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho the Lord said to Moses,
-
These two and a half tribes have received their inheritance east of the Jordan across from Jericho, toward the sunrise.”
-
Towns for the Levites
On the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, the Lord said to Moses,
-
These are the commands and regulations the Lord gave through Moses to the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho.
-
“Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession.
-
The Death of Moses
Then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the top of Pisgah, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed him the whole land—from Gilead to Dan,
-
the Negev and the whole region from the Valley of Jericho, the City of Palms, as far as Zoar.
-
Rahab and the Spies
Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim. “Go, look over the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.
-
The king of Jericho was told, “Look, some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.”
-
So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land.”
-
the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
-
About forty thousand armed for battle crossed over before the Lord to the plains of Jericho for war.
-
On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.
-
On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.
-
The Fall of Jericho
Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
-
Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
-
Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.
-
But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
-
At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: “Cursed before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho: “At the cost of his firstborn son he will lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest he will set up its gates.”
-
Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
