Deuteronomy 9.0:


Deuteronomy 9.1: 9Hear, Israel! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

Deuteronomy 9.2: 2a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”

Deuteronomy 9.3: 3Know therefore today that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.


Deuteronomy 9.4: 4Don’t say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land;” because Yahweh drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.

Deuteronomy 9.5: 5Not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Deuteronomy 9.6: 6Know therefore that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Deuteronomy 9.7: 7Remember, and don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

Deuteronomy 9.8: 8Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

Deuteronomy 9.9: 9When I had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water.

Deuteronomy 9.10: 10Yahweh delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly.


Deuteronomy 9.11: 11It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant.

Deuteronomy 9.12: 12Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”


Deuteronomy 9.13: 13Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.

Deuteronomy 9.14: 14Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”


Deuteronomy 9.15: 15So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands.

Deuteronomy 9.16: 16I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God. You had made yourselves a molded calf. You had quickly turned away from the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

Deuteronomy 9.17: 17I took hold of the two tablets, and threw them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

Deuteronomy 9.18: 18I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, to provoke him to anger.

Deuteronomy 9.19: 19For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

Deuteronomy 9.20: 20Yahweh was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

Deuteronomy 9.21: 21I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

Deuteronomy 9.22: 22At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

Deuteronomy 9.23: 23When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.

Deuteronomy 9.24: 24You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

Deuteronomy 9.25: 25So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.

Deuteronomy 9.26: 26I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

Deuteronomy 9.27: 27Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin,

Deuteronomy 9.28: 28lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’

Deuteronomy 9.29: 29Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

Deuteronomy 34.0:


Deuteronomy 34.1: 34Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. Yahweh showed him all the land of Gilead to Dan,

Deuteronomy 34.2: 2and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the Western Sea,

Deuteronomy 34.3: 3and the south,1 and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city of palm trees, to Zoar.

Deuteronomy 34.4: 4Yahweh said to him, “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’ I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.”


Deuteronomy 34.5: 5So Moses the servant of Yahweh died there in the land of Moab, according to Yahweh’s word.

Deuteronomy 34.6: 6He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor, but no man knows where his tomb is to this day.

Deuteronomy 34.7: 7Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor his strength gone.

Deuteronomy 34.8: 8The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were ended.

Deuteronomy 34.9: 9Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. The children of Israel listened to him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Deuteronomy 34.10: 10Since then, there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face,

Deuteronomy 34.11: 11in all the signs and the wonders which Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,

Deuteronomy 34.12: 12and in all the mighty hand, and in all the awesome deeds, which Moses did in the sight of all Israel.

Joshua 11.0:


Joshua 11.1: 11When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,

Joshua 11.2: 2and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

Joshua 11.3: 3to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

Joshua 11.4: 4They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.

Joshua 11.5: 5All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.


Joshua 11.6: 6Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”


Joshua 11.7: 7So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.

Joshua 11.8: 8Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.

Joshua 11.9: 9Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

Joshua 11.10: 10Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword: for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.

Joshua 11.11: 11They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burned Hazor with fire.

Joshua 11.12: 12Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.

Joshua 11.13: 13But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.

Joshua 11.14: 14The children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any who breathed.


Joshua 11.15: 15As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

Joshua 11.16: 16So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;

Joshua 11.17: 17from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.

Joshua 11.18: 18Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.

Joshua 11.19: 19There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.

Joshua 11.20: 20For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

Joshua 11.21: 21Joshua 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.

Joshua 11.22: 22There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.

Joshua 11.23: 23So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
