1 Efter at Herrens Tjener Moses var død, sagde Herren til Moses's Medhjælper Josua, Nuns Søn: 2 "Min Tjener Moses er død; bryd nu op tillige med hele dette Folk og gå over Jordan derhenne til det Land, jeg vil give dem, Israeliterne. 3 Ethvert Sted, eders Fod betræder, giver jeg eder, som jeg lovede Moses. 4 Fra Ørkenen og Libanon til den store Flod, Eufratfloden, hele Hetiternes Land, og til det store Hav i Vest skal eders Landemærker nå. 5 Så længe du lever, skal det ikke være muligt for nogen at holde Stand imod dig; som jeg var med Moses, vil jeg være med dig; jeg vil ikke slippe dig og ikke forlade dig. 6 Vær frimodig og stærk, thi du skal skaffe dette Folk det Land i Eje, som jeg tilsvor deres Fædre at ville give dem. 7 Vær kun helt frimodig og stærk. så du omhyggeligt handler efter hele den Lov, min Tjener Moses pålagde dig, vig ikke derfra til højre eller venstre, for at du må have Lykken med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for. 8 Denne Lovbog skal ikke vige fra din Mund, og du skal grunde over den Dag og Nat, for at du omhyggeligt kan handle efter alt, hvad der står skrevet i den; thi da vil det gå dig vel i al din Færd, og Lykken vil følge dig. 9 Har jeg ikke budt dig: Vær frimodig og stærk; vær ikke bange og bliv ikke forfærdet, thi Herren din Gud er med dig i alt, hvad du tager dig for!"
10 Josua bød derpå Folkets Tilsynsmænd: 11 "Gå omkring i Lejren og byd Folket: Sørg for Rejsetæring, thi om tre Dage skal I gå over Jordan derhenne for at drage ind og tage det Land i Besiddelse, som Herren eders Gud vil give eder i Eje!" 12 Men til Rubeniterne, Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme sagde Josua: 13 "Husk på, hvad Herrens Tjener Moses bød eder, da han sagde: Herren eders Gud bringer eder nu til Hvile og giver eder Landet her! 14 Eders Kvinder og Børn og Kvæg skal blive i det Land, Moses gav eder hinsides Jordan; men I selv, alle våbenføre, skal væbnet drage over i Spidsen for eders Brødre og hjælpe dem, 15 indtil Herren har bragt eders Brødre til Hvile ligesom eder, når også de har taget det Land i Besiddelse, som Herren eders Gud vil give dem. Så kan I vende tilbage til eders eget Land og tage det i Besiddelse, det, som Herrens Tjener Moses gav eder østpå hinsides Jordan!" 16 Da svarede de Josua: "Alt, hvad du har pålagt os, vil vi gøre, og vi vil gå overalt, hvor du sender os; 17 som vi har adlydt Moses i alt, vil vi adlyde dig. Måtte kun Herren din Gud være med dig, som han var med Moses! 18 Enhver, som sætter sig op imod dine Befalinger og ikke adlyder dine Ord i alt, hvad du pålægger ham, skal dø. Vær kun modig og uforsagt!"
2 Josua, Nuns Søn, udsendte hemmeligt fra Sjittim to Mænd som Spejdere med den Befaling: "Gå hen og undersøg Landet, særlig Jeriko!" De gav sig da på Vej og kom ind i et Hus til en Skøge ved Navn Rahab, og der lagde de sig til Hvile. 2 Da blev der meldt Kongen af Jeriko: "Se, der er kommet nogle israelitiske Mænd hertil i Nat for at udspejde Landet!" 3 Og Kongen af Jeriko sendte Bud til Rahab og lod sige: "Udlever de Mænd, som er kommet til dig; thi de er kommet for at udspejde hele Landet!" 4 Men Kvinden tog og skjulte de to Mænd og sagde: "Ja, Mændene kom ganske vist til mig, men jeg vidste ikke, hvor de var fra; 5 og da Porten skulde lukkes i Mørkningen, gik Mændene bort. Jeg ved ikke, hvor de gik hen! Sæt hurtigt efter dem, så kan I indhente dem!" 6 Men hun havde ført dem op på Taget og skjult dem under Hørstænglerne, som hun havde bredt ud på Taget. 7 Mændene satte så efter dem ad Vejen til Jordan hen til Vadestederne, og Porten blev lukket, så snart Forfølgerne var udenfor. 8 Før de to Mænd endnu havde lagt sig, kom hun op på Taget til dem; 9 og hun sagde til dem: "Jeg ved, at Herren har givet eder Landet, thi vi er grebet af Rædsel for eder, og alle Landets Indbyggere er skrækslagne over eder. 10 Thi vi har hørt, hvorledes Herren lod Vandet i det røde Hav tørre bort foran eder, da I drog ud af Ægypten, og hvad I gjorde ved de to Amoriterkonger hinsides Jordan, Sihon og Og, på hvem I lagde Band. 11 Da vi hørte det, blev vi slaget af Rædsel og tabte alle Modet over for eder; thi Herren eders Gud er Gud oppe i Himmelen og nede på Jorden. 12 Men tilsværg mig nu ved Herren, at I vil vise Godhed mod mit Fædrene hus, ligesom jeg har vist Godhed mod eder, og giv mig et sikkert Tegn på, 13 at I vil lade min Fader og Moder, mine Brødre og Søstre og alt, hvad deres er, blive i Live og redde os fra Døden!" 14 Da sagde Mændene til hende: "Vi indestår med vort Liv for eder, hvis du ikke røber vort Forehavende; og når Herren giver os Landet, vil vi vise dig Godhed og Trofasthed!"
15 Derpå hejsede hun dem med et Reb ned gennem Vinduet, thi hendes Hus lå ved Bymuren, og hun boede ved Muren; 16 og hun sagde til dem: "Gå ud i Bjergene, for at eders Forfølgere ikke skal træffe eder, og hold eder skjult der i tre Dage, indtil eders Forfølgere er vendt tilbage; efter den Tid kan I gå eders Vej!" 17 Mændene sagde til hende: "På denne Måde vil vi bære os ad med at holde den Ed, du har ladet os sværge 18 Når vi kommer ind i Landet, skal du binde denne røde Snor fast i det Vindue, du har hejst os ned igennem, og så skal du samle din Fader og din Moder, dine Brødre og hele dit Fædrenehus hos dig i Huset. 19 Enhver, som så går uden for din Husdør, må selv tage Ansvaret for sit Liv, uden at der falder Skyld på os; men hvis der lægges Hånd på nogen af dem, som bliver i Huset hos dig, hviler Ansvaret på os. 20 Hvis du derimod røber vort Forehavende, er vi løst fra den Ed, du lod os sværge!" 21 Da sagde hun: "Lad det være, som I siger!" Så lod hun dem drage bort; og hun bandt den røde Snor fast i Vinduet. 22 Men de begav sig ud i Bjergene og blev der i tre Dage, indtil deres Forfølgere var vendt tilbage. Og Forfølgerne ledte overalt på Vejen uden at finde dem.
23 Derpå begav de to Mænd sig på Tilbagevejen, og efter at være steget ned fra Bjergene gik de over Floden; og de kom til Josua, Nuns Søn, og fortalte ham alt, hvad der var hændet dem. 24 Og de sagde til Josua: "Herren har givet hele Landet i vor Magt, og alle Landets Indbyggere er skrækslagne over os!"
3 Tidligt næste Morgen gjorde Josua sig rede, og hele Israel brød op fra Sjittim sammen med ham og kom til Jordan, og de tilbragte Natten der, før de drog over. 2 Efter tre Dages Forløb gik Tilsynsmændene omkring i Lejren 3 og bød Folket: "Når I ser Herren eders Guds Pagts Ark og Levitpræsterne komme bærende med den, så skal I bryde op fra eders Plads og følge efter 4 dog skal der være en Afstand af 2000 Alen mellem eder og den; I må ikke komme den for nær for at I kan vide, hvilken Vej I skal gå; thi I er ikke kommet den Vej før!" 5 Og Josua sagde til Folket: "Helliger eder; thi i Morgen vil Herren gøre Undere iblandt eder!" 6 Og Josua sagde til Præsterne: "Løft Pagtens Ark op og drag over foran Folket!" Så løftede de Pagtens Ark op og gik foran Folket. 7 Men Herren sagde til Josua: "I Dag begynder jeg at gøre dig stor i hele Israels Øjne, for at de kan vide, at jeg vil være med dig, som jeg var med Moses. 8 Du skal byde Præsterne, som bærer Pagtens Ark: Når I kommer til Kanten af Jordans Vand, skal I standse der ved Jordan!" 9 Da sagde Josua til Israeliterne: "Kom hid og hør Herren eders Guds Ord!" 10 Og Josua sagde: "Derpå skal I kende, at der er en levende Gud iblandt eder, og at han vil drive Kana'anæerne, Hetiterne, Hivviterne, Perizziterne, Girgasjiterne, Amoriterne og Jebusiterne bort foran eder: 11 Se, Herrens, al Jordens Herres, Ark skal gå foran eder gennem Jordan. 12 Vælg eder nu tolv Mænd af Israels Stammer, een Mand af hver Stamme. 13 Og så snart Præsterne, som bærer Herrens, al Jordens Herres, Ark, sætter Foden i Jordans Vand, skal Jordans Vand standse, det Vand, som kommer ovenfra, og stå som en Vold."
14 Da Folket så brød op fra deres Telte for at gå over Jordan med Præsterne, som bar Arken, i Spidsen, 15 og da de, som bar Arken, kom til Jordan, og Præsterne, som bar Arken, rørte ved Vandkanten med deres Fødder Jordan gik overalt over sine Bredder i hele Høsttiden 16 standsede Vandet, som kom ovenfra, og stod som en Vold langt borte, oppe ved Byen Adam, som ligger ved Zaretan, medens det Vand, som flød ned mod Arabaeller Salthavet, løb helt bort; således gik Folket over lige over for Jeriko. 17 Men Præsterne, som bar Herrens Pagts Ark, blev stående på tør Bund midt i Jordan, medens hele Israel gik over på tør Bund, indtil hele Folket havde tilendebragt Overgangen over Jordan.
4 Da nu hele Folket havde tilendebragt Overgangen over Jordan, sagde Herren til Josua: 2 "Vælg eder tolv Mænd af Folket, een Mand af hver Stamme, 3 og byd dem: Tag eder tolv Sten her, midt i Jordan, hvor Præsterne stod stille, bring dem med over og stil dem på den Plads, hvor I holder Rast i Nat!" 4 Så lod Josua de tolv Mænd kalde, som han havde til Rede af Israeliterne, een Mand af hver Stamme; 5 og Josua sagde til dem: "Gå foran Herren eders Guds Ark midt ud i Jordan, og tag så hver en Sten på Skulderen, svarende til Tallet på Israeliternes Stammer, 6 for at det kan tjene til Tegn iblandt eder. Når eders Børn i Fremtiden spørger: Hvad Betydning har disse Sten for eder? 7 så skal I sige til dem: De betyder, at Jordans Vand standsede foran Herrens Pagts Ark; da den drog over Jordan, standsede Jordans Vand. Og disse Sten skal være Israeliterne et Mindetegn til evig Tid!" 8 Da gjorde Israeliterne, som Josua bød, og tog tolv Sten midt i Jordan, som Herren havde sagt til Josua, svarende til Tallet på Israeliternes Stammer, og de bragte dem med over til det Sted, hvor de holdt Rast, og stillede dem der. 9 Og tolv Sten rejste Josua midt i Jordan på det Sted, hvor Præsterne, som bar Pagtens Ark, stod stille, og der står de den Dag i Dag.
10 Men Præsterne, som bar Arken, blev stående midt i Jordan, indtil alt, hvad Herren havde pålagt Josua at sige til Folket, var udført, i Overensstemmelse med alt, hvad Moses havde pålagt Josua; og Folket gik skyndsomt over. 11 Da hele Folket så havde tilendebragt Overgangen, gik Herrens Ark og Præsterne over og stillede sig foran Folket. 12 Og Rubeniterne, Gaditerne og Manasses halve Stamme drog væbnet over i Spidsen for Israeliterne, som Moses havde sagt til dem; 13 henved 40000 Mand i Tal, rustede til Strid, drog de foran Herren over til Jerikos Sletter til Hamp. 14 På den Dag gjorde Herren Josua stor i hele Israels Øjne, og de frygtede ham alle hans Livs Dage, som de havde frygtet Moses.
15 Da sagde Herren til Josua: 16 "Byd Præsterne, som bærer Vidnesbyrdets Ark, at stige op fra Jordan!" 17 Og Josua bød Præsterne: "Stig op fra Jordan!" 18 Så steg Præsterne, som bar Herrens Pagts Ark, op fra Jordan, og næppe havde deres Fødder betrådt det tørre Land, før Jordans Vand vendte tilbage til sit Leje og overalt gik over sine Bredder som før. 19 Og Folket steg op fra Jordan den tiende Dag i den første Måned og slog Lejr i Gilgal ved Østenden af Jerikolandet.
20 Men de tolv Sten, som de havde taget op fra Jordan, rejste Josua i Gilgal, 21 og han sagde til Israeliterne: "Når eders Børn i Fremtiden spørger deres Fædre: Hvad betyder disse Sten? 22 så skal I fortælle eders Børn det og sige: På tør Bund gik Israel over Jordan derhenne; 23 thi Herren eders Gud lod Jordans Vand tørre bort foran eder, indtil I var kommet over, ligesom Herren eders Gud gjorde med det røde Hav, som han lod tørre bort foran os, indtil vi var kommet over, 24 for at alle Jordens Folk skal kende, at Herrens Arm er stærk, at de må frygte Herren eders Gud alle Dage."

Herrens løfte til Josva
1 Efter at Moses var død, sagde Herren til hans medhjælper Josva, Nuns søn:
2 „Min tjener Moses er død. Nu er det dig, som skal føre israelitterne over Jordanfloden og ind i det land, jeg vil give dem. 3 Hvad jeg sagde til Moses, siger jeg til dig: De områder, I erobrer i landet, skal tilhøre jer, 4 fra Negevs ørken i syd til Libanons bjerge mod nord, ja, helt op til den store flod, Eufratfloden, og ud til Middelhavet mod vest, hele det land, hittitterne nu bor i. 5 Ingen vil kunne holde stand imod dig, så længe du lever, for jeg vil være med dig, som jeg var med Moses. Jeg vil ikke svigte dig eller forlade dig.
6 Stå fast og vær modig, for du skal lede mit folk i erobringen af hele det land, jeg har lovet jeres forfædre. 7 Ret dig omhyggeligt efter de forordninger, Moses gav dig. Hold fast ved dem, så vil tingene lykkes for dig. 8 Mind hele tiden folket om disse love—og selv skal du tænke på dem døgnet rundt, så du handler efter dem, for så vil det gå dig godt, og du vil lykkes. 9 Jeg siger det igen: Stå fast og vær modig! Vær ikke bange eller frygtsom! Husk, at jeg er Herren, din Gud, og jeg vil hjælpe dig med alt, hvad du skal gøre.”
Josva befaler folket at gøre sig klar
10 Så sagde Josva til folkets ledere: 11 „Gå rundt i lejren og sig til folket: Gør jer klar, for om tre dage går vi over Jordanfloden for at tage det land i besiddelse, som Gud har lovet os.”
12 Til lederne for Rubens, Gads og Manasses halve stamme sagde han: 13 „Husk, hvad Guds tjener Moses sagde til jer: Herren, jeres Gud, har givet jer landet øst for Jordanfloden. 14 Jeres koner, børn og kvæg har lov at blive her på østsiden, men alle våbenføre mænd skal gå over Jordanfloden i spidsen for de andre stammer og hjælpe dem med at indtage deres områder på den anden side. 15 I skal kæmpe sammen med dem, indtil de har erobret det land, Herren har givet dem. Derefter må I vende tilbage og bosætte jer øst for Jordanfloden, hvor Moses tildelte jer land.”
16 „Alt, hvad du siger, vil vi gøre,” svarede de. „Og hvor som helst, du sender os, vil vi gå. 17 Vi vil adlyde dig, som vi adlød Moses. Må Herren din Gud være med dig, som han var med Moses. 18 Enhver, der ikke vil adlyde dig, skal dø. Stå fast og vær modig.”
Rahab skjuler spionerne
2 Fra israelitternes lejr ved Shittim på Moabs sletter havde Josva i al hemmelighed sendt to spioner af sted over floden for at undersøge landet, især Jeriko. De tog af sted og kom til et hus i Jeriko, hvor der boede en kvinde ved navn Rahab, som var prostitueret. Der fik de lov til at overnatte.
2 Men da Jerikos konge fik at vide, at der var kommet nogle israelitter til byen den aften for at udspionere landet, 3 sendte han straks nogle af sine folk til Rahabs hus: „Udlever de mænd, som er i dit hus,” beordrede de. „De er spioner.”
4 Rahab havde allerede skjult mændene, så hun svarede: „Der kom ganske rigtig to mænd til mit hus, men jeg vidste ikke, hvor de kom fra. 5 De er her ikke længere, for de forlod byen inden solnedgang, da byporten skulle lukkes. Jeg ved ikke, hvor de tog hen, men hvis I skynder jer, kan I sikkert nå at indhente dem.” 6 Rahab havde ført mændene op på det flade tag og gemt dem under noget hør, hun havde liggende til tørre deroppe.
7 Kongens mænd skyndte sig af sted i retning af Jordanflodens vadesteder, og byporten blev lukket forsvarligt, så snart de var taget af sted.
8 Imens gik Rahab op på taget for at tale med mændene, inden de lagde sig til at sove. 9 „Jeg ved, at Herren har givet jer vores land,” sagde hun. „Vi er alle sammen frygtelig bange for jer. 10 Vi har jo hørt, hvordan Herren åbnede en vej for jer gennem Det Røde Hav, dengang I forlod Egypten. Vi ved også, hvordan det gik amoritterkongerne Sihon og Og på den anden side af Jordanfloden, da I ødelagde deres land og udryddede befolkningen. 11 Så det er ikke underligt, at vi har tabt modet. Ingen tør kæmpe imod jer, når de ved, at Herren, jeres Gud, er den øverste Gud i Himlen og på jorden. 12-13 Derfor vil jeg bede jer om én ting: Sværg ved jeres Guds hellige navn, at I vil hjælpe mig og min familie, ligesom jeg nu hjælper jer. Giv mig et sikkert tegn på, at I vil skåne mig og min mor og far, mine brødre og søstre og deres familier, så vi ikke skal dø, når I erobrer Jeriko.”
14 „Liv for liv!” svor mændene. „Hvis du ikke forråder os, vil vi sørge for, at du og din familie bliver skånet, når Herren giver os sejr over jeres land.”
15 Rahabs hus var bygget i ét med bymuren og havde et vindue, der vendte udad. Hun tog nu et reb og gjorde klar til at fire dem ned på ydersiden af bymuren. 16 „Gå væk fra floden og op i bjergene,” sagde hun til dem, „og gem jer der i tre dage, indtil jeres forfølgere giver op og kommer tilbage til byen. Så kan I roligt vende hjem.”
17-18 Inden spionerne forsvandt, sagde de: „Den ed, du har fået os til at sværge, gælder kun, hvis du binder den her røde snor fast i vinduet, og hvis I alle holder jer inden døre. 19 Hvis nogen forlader huset her, er det deres egen skyld, hvis de mister livet. Men vi står inde for, at der ikke vil ske noget med dem, der bliver i huset. 20 Hvis du forråder os, er vi løst fra vores løfte.”
21 „Det er i orden,” svarede hun. Derpå firede hun dem ned, og de forsvandt i mørket, mens hun bandt den røde snor fast i vinduet.
22 Spionerne flygtede nu op i bjergene, hvor de blev i tre dage, mens deres forfølgere søgte efter dem overalt og siden vendte tilbage til byen med uforrettet sag. 23 Derefter gik de ned fra bjergene, vadede over Jordanfloden og fortalte Josva, hvordan det var gået. 24 „Herren har givet os hele landet,” sagde de. „Befolkningen er så bange for os, at de ryster af skræk.”
Israelitterne går over Jordanfloden
3 Tidligt næste morgen brød Josva og Israels folk op fra lejren ved Shittim og kom ned til Jordanfloden. Der slog de lejr, indtil de var parat til at gå over floden.
2 Tre dage senere gik lederne rundt i lejren 3 med følgende besked til folket: „Når I ser præsterne bryde op og gå af sted med pagtens ark, skal I følge efter. 4 De vil gå foran jer og vise vej. Men der skal være en afstand på en kilometer[a] mellem jer og arken. I må ikke komme for tæt på den.”
5 Derefter sagde Josva til folket: „Sørg for at være rituelt rene, for i morgen vil Herren gøre undere iblandt jer.”
6 Til præsterne sagde han: „I skal tage pagtens ark og gå i spidsen for folket.” Og de accepterede at tage pagtens ark og gå foran folket.
7 Om natten sagde Herren til Josva: „I dag vil jeg sørge for, at du vinder stor respekt blandt Israels folk. Alle skal få at se, at jeg er med dig, ligesom jeg var med Moses. 8 Sig til præsterne, som skal bære pagtens ark: Når I kommer til flodens bred, skal I gå et skridt ud i den og blive stående.”
9 Næste morgen kaldte Josva folket sammen og sagde: „Hør efter, hvad Herren, jeres Gud, siger. 10 I dag vil I se et bevis på, at den levende Gud er midt iblandt jer. Det vil give jer mod til at tro på, at han også vil drive landets indbyggere på flugt foran jer—alle kana’anæerne, hittitterne, hivvitterne, perizzitterne, girgashitterne, amoritterne og jebusitterne. 11 Arken, der tilhører Herren—hele jordens Herre—skal bane vej for jer gennem floden. 12 I skal udvælge 12 mænd, en fra hver stamme. 13 Så snart præsterne med arken træder ud i floden, vil vandstrømmen nordfra standse og hobe sig op som en vold.”
14-15 Så brød folket op for at gå over floden, og præsterne, som bar pagtens ark, gik foran dem. Det var i høsttiden, hvor Jordanfloden går over sine bredder. Men da præsterne trådte ud i floden, 16 standsede vandet, som kom nordfra, hobede sig op og stod som en vold ved byen Adam nær Saretan, mens vandet på sydsiden flød bort i retning af Det Døde Hav, indtil flodlejet var tørt, så folket kunne gå over lige ved Jeriko. 17 Mens folket gik over, stod præsterne med arken midt ude i det udtørrede flodleje.
4 Efter at folket var kommet godt over på den anden side, sagde Herren til Josva:
2-3 „Sig til de 12 mænd, der blev udpeget af Israels 12 stammer, at de hver skal tage en sten fra det sted i flodlejet, hvor præsterne står, og tage stenene med sig til det sted, hvor I slår lejr i aften.”
4 Så kaldte Josva de 12 mænd sammen 5 og sagde til dem: „Nu kan I gå over, men stands midt ude i flodlejet, hvor pagtens ark er. Der skal hver af jer samle en sten op og bære den på skulderen over på den anden side, så der er en sten for hver af Israels 12 stammer. 6 De sten skal være et minde, og når jeres børn i fremtiden spørger: ‚Hvad betyder de mindesten?’ 7 skal I svare: ‚De minder os om dengang, Jordanflodens vand standsede for at lade Herrens Ark og folket passere.’ De sten skal altid minde Israels folk om det under, som skete, da vi krydsede Jordanfloden.”
8 Mændene gjorde, som Josva havde sagt. De samlede 12 sten op fra flodlejet, én sten for hver stamme, sådan som Herren havde befalet Josva, og tog dem med sig til det sted, hvor de slog lejr for natten. 9 Josva anbragte desuden 12 sten midt i floden på det sted, hvor præsterne stod med pagtens ark, og de sten er der den dag i dag. 10 De præster, som bar arken, blev altså stående ude i flodlejet, indtil alt, hvad Herren havde befalet Josva, var udført. På den måde førte Josva folket over floden, sådan som Moses havde givet instrukser om. Folket skyndte sig over floden, mens præsterne stod i midten, 11 og da de alle var kommet over, fulgte præsterne efter med arken, mens folket stod og så til.
12 Som Moses havde befalet, gik de våbenføre mænd fra Rubens, Gads og Manasses halve stamme også med over floden. 13 De udgjorde 40.000 bevæbnede krigere, som var klar til at kæmpe for Herren på Jerikos sletter. 14 Herren gjorde det sådan, at Josva den dag vandt stor respekt i folkets øjne. Fremover viste de ham samme ærefrygt, som de havde vist Moses. 15-18 Efter at Josva på Herrens befaling havde sagt til de præster, der stod med pagtens ark, at de skulle komme op af flodlejet, steg de op på bredden, og i samme øjeblik de satte foden på landjorden, strømmede vandet tilbage, og floden gik over sine bredder som før.
19 Det var den tiende dag i årets første måned,[b] at folket krydsede Jordanfloden og slog lejr ved Gilgal øst for Jeriko. 20 Det var også der, Josva anbragte de 12 mindesten, de havde taget med fra midten af floden. 21 Så gentog han over for hele Israels folk, hvad han allerede tidligere havde sagt: „I fremtiden, når jeres børn spørger: ‚Hvad betyder de mindesten?’ 22 skal I sige: ‚De er til minde om, at Israels folk gik tørskoet over Jordanfloden.’ 23 Fortæl dem, hvordan Herren holdt vandet tilbage for øjnene af jer, indtil alle var kommet over, ligesom han gjorde med Det Røde Hav, dengang Israels folk skulle krydse det. 24 For alle jordens folk skal det være et tegn på Herrens vældige magt, og det skal hjælpe jer til altid at have respekt og ærefrygt for Herren, jeres Gud.”

Joshua Installed as Leader
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord,(A) the Lord said to Joshua(B) son of Nun, Moses’ aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River(C) into the land(D) I am about to give to them(E)—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot,(F) as I promised Moses.(G) 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon,(H) and from the great river, the Euphrates(I)—all the Hittite(J) country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.(K) 5 No one will be able to stand against you(L) all the days of your life. As I was with(M) Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake(N) you. 6 Be strong(O) and courageous,(P) because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors(Q) to give them.
7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey(R) all the law(S) my servant Moses(T) gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,(U) that you may be successful wherever you go.(V) 8 Keep this Book of the Law(W) always on your lips;(X) meditate(Y) on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.(Z) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;(AA) do not be discouraged,(AB) for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”(AC)
10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people:(AD) 11 “Go through the camp(AE) and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions(AF) ready. Three days(AG) from now you will cross the Jordan(AH) here to go in and take possession(AI) of the land the Lord your God is giving you for your own.’”
12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,(AJ) Joshua said, 13 “Remember the command that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you after he said, ‘The Lord your God will give you rest(AK) by giving you this land.’ 14 Your wives,(AL) your children and your livestock may stay in the land(AM) that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, ready for battle,(AN) must cross over ahead of your fellow Israelites.(AO) You are to help them 15 until the Lord gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land the Lord your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise.”(AP)
16 Then they answered Joshua, “Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.(AQ) 17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you.(AR) Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. 18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey(AS) it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!(AT)”
Rahab and the Spies
2 Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies(AU) from Shittim.(AV) “Go, look over(AW) the land,” he said, “especially Jericho.(AX)” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab(AY) and stayed there.
2 The king of Jericho was told, “Look, some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.” 3 So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab:(AZ) “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land.”
4 But the woman had taken the two men(BA) and hidden them.(BB) She said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from. 5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate,(BC) they left. I don’t know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You may catch up with them.”(BD) 6 (But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax(BE) she had laid out on the roof.)(BF) 7 So the men set out in pursuit of the spies on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan,(BG) and as soon as the pursuers(BH) had gone out, the gate was shut.
8 Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof(BI) 9 and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear(BJ) of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. 10 We have heard how the Lord dried up(BK) the water of the Red Sea[a] for you when you came out of Egypt,(BL) and what you did to Sihon and Og,(BM) the two kings of the Amorites(BN) east of the Jordan,(BO) whom you completely destroyed.[b](BP) 11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear(BQ) and everyone’s courage failed(BR) because of you,(BS) for the Lord your God(BT) is God in heaven above and on the earth(BU) below.
12 “Now then, please swear to me(BV) by the Lord that you will show kindness(BW) to my family, because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign(BX) 13 that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them(BY)—and that you will save us from death.”
14 “Our lives for your lives!”(BZ) the men assured her. “If you don’t tell what we are doing, we will treat you kindly and faithfully(CA) when the Lord gives us the land.”
15 So she let them down by a rope(CB) through the window,(CC) for the house she lived in was part of the city wall. 16 She said to them, “Go to the hills(CD) so the pursuers(CE) will not find you. Hide yourselves there three days(CF) until they return, and then go on your way.”(CG)
17 Now the men had said to her, “This oath(CH) you made us swear will not be binding on us 18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord(CI) in the window(CJ) through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family(CK) into your house. 19 If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads;(CL) we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head(CM) if a hand is laid on them. 20 But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.(CN)”
21 “Agreed,” she replied. “Let it be as you say.”
So she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord(CO) in the window.(CP)
22 When they left, they went into the hills and stayed there three days,(CQ) until the pursuers(CR) had searched all along the road and returned without finding them. 23 Then the two men started back. They went down out of the hills, forded the river and came to Joshua son of Nun and told him everything that had happened to them. 24 They said to Joshua, “The Lord has surely given the whole land into our hands;(CS) all the people are melting in fear(CT) because of us.”
Crossing the Jordan
3 Early in the morning Joshua and all the Israelites set out from Shittim(CU) and went to the Jordan,(CV) where they camped before crossing over. 2 After three days(CW) the officers(CX) went throughout the camp,(CY) 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant(CZ) of the Lord your God, and the Levitical(DA) priests(DB) carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[c](DC) between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves,(DD) for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things(DE) among you.”
6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.
7 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you(DF) in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as I was with Moses.(DG) 8 Tell the priests(DH) who carry the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the Jordan’s waters, go and stand in the river.’”
9 Joshua said to the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God. 10 This is how you will know that the living God(DI) is among you(DJ) and that he will certainly drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites,(DK) Hivites, Perizzites,(DL) Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.(DM) 11 See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth(DN) will go into the Jordan ahead of you.(DO) 12 Now then, choose twelve men(DP) from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe. 13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth(DQ)—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream(DR) will be cut off(DS) and stand up in a heap.(DT)”
14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant(DU) went ahead(DV) of them. 15 Now the Jordan(DW) is at flood stage(DX) all during harvest.(DY) Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing.(DZ) It piled up in a heap(EA) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,(EB) while the water flowing down(EC) to the Sea of the Arabah(ED) (that is, the Dead Sea(EE)) was completely cut off.(EF) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.(EG) 17 The priests(EH) who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground,(EI) while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.(EJ)
4 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan,(EK) the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Choose twelve men(EL) from among the people, one from each tribe, 3 and tell them to take up twelve stones(EM) from the middle of the Jordan,(EN) from right where the priests are standing, and carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.(EO)”
4 So Joshua called together the twelve men(EP) he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe, 5 and said to them, “Go over before the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan.(EQ) Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, 6 to serve as a sign(ER) among you. In the future, when your children(ES) ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’(ET) 7 tell them that the flow of the Jordan was cut off(EU) before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones are to be a memorial(EV) to the people of Israel forever.”
8 So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones(EW) from the middle of the Jordan,(EX) according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua;(EY) and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down. 9 Joshua set up the twelve stones(EZ) that had been[d] in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.(FA)
10 Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the Lord had commanded Joshua was done by the people, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried over, 11 and as soon as all of them had crossed, the ark of the Lord and the priests came to the other side while the people watched. 12 The men of Reuben,(FB) Gad(FC) and the half-tribe of Manasseh(FD) crossed over, ready for battle, in front of the Israelites,(FE) as Moses had directed them.(FF) 13 About forty thousand armed for battle(FG) crossed over(FH) before the Lord to the plains of Jericho for war.
14 That day the Lord exalted(FI) Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him all the days of his life, just as they had stood in awe of Moses.
15 Then the Lord said to Joshua, 16 “Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant law(FJ) to come up out of the Jordan.”
17 So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
18 And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place(FK) and ran at flood stage(FL) as before.
19 On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal(FM) on the eastern border of Jericho. 20 And Joshua set up at Gilgal the twelve stones(FN) they had taken out of the Jordan. 21 He said to the Israelites, “In the future when your descendants ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’(FO) 22 tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’(FP) 23 For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea[e] when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.(FQ) 24 He did this so that all the peoples of the earth might know(FR) that the hand of the Lord is powerful(FS) and so that you might always fear the Lord your God.(FT)”

King James Version
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the Lord your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, The Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the Lord thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
2 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
5 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
9 And she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:
13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:
24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the Lord hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
3 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.
6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.
10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
4 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
2 Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3 And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
5 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
6 That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the Lord spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
9 And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
10 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the Lord commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
11 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
13 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
14 On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 And the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
18 And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
19 And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
20 And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
21 And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
22 Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24 That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the Lord your God for ever.
