| 6:1 | Now Jericho was shut up from within and from without because of the people of Israel; none went out, and none came in. |
וִירִיחֹו סֹגֶרֶת וּמְסֻגֶּרֶת מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵין יֹוצֵא וְאֵין בָּא׃ ס | J E source Jos.6.1
The fall of Jericho and the sin of Achan. Jos.6.1-7.1 |
| 2 | And the LORD said to Joshua, "See, I have given into your hand Jericho, with its king and mighty men of valor. |
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֶל־יְהֹושֻׁעַ רְאֵה נָתַתִּי בְיָדְךָ אֶת־יְרִיחֹו וְאֶת־מַלְכָּהּ גִּבֹּורֵי הֶחָיִל׃ | J source Jos.6.2-3
|
| 3 | You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. |
וְסַבֹּתֶם אֶת־הָעִיר כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַקֵּיף אֶת־הָעִיר פַּעַם אֶחָת כֹּה תַעֲשֶׂה שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים׃ | |
| 4 | And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark; and on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, the priests blowing the trumpets. |
וְשִׁבְעָה כֹהֲנִים יִשְׂאוּ שִׁבְעָה שֹׁופְרֹות הַיֹּובְלִים לִפְנֵי הָאָרֹון וּבַיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי תָּסֹבּוּ אֶת־הָעִיר שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים וְהַכֹּהֲנִים יִתְקְעוּ בַּשֹּׁופָרֹות׃ | E source Jos.6.4-9
|
| 5 | And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him." |
וְהָיָה בִּמְשֹׁךְ בְּקֶרֶן הַיֹּובֵל [כ= בְּשָׁמְעֲכֶם] [ק= כְּשָׁמְעֲכֶם] אֶת־קֹול הַשֹּׁופָר יָרִיעוּ כָל־הָעָם תְּרוּעָה גְדֹולָה וְנָפְלָה חֹומַת הָעִיר תַּחְתֶּיהָ וְעָלוּ הָעָם אִישׁ נֶגְדֹּו׃ | |
| 6 | So 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 the LORD." |
וַיִּקְרָא יְהֹושֻׁעַ בִּן־נוּן אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם שְׂאוּ אֶת־אֲרֹון הַבְּרִית וְשִׁבְעָה כֹהֲנִים יִשְׂאוּ שִׁבְעָה שֹׁופְרֹות יֹובְלִים לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון יְהוָה׃ | |
| 7 | And he said to the people, "Go forward; march around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD." |
[כ= וַיֹּאמְרוּ] [ק= וַיֹּאמֶר] אֶל־הָעָם עִבְרוּ וְסֹבּוּ אֶת־הָעִיר וְהֶחָלוּץ יַעֲבֹר לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון יְהוָה׃ | |
| 8 | And as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD following them. |
וַיְהִי כֶּאֱמֹר יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־הָעָם וְשִׁבְעָה הַכֹּהֲנִים נֹשְׂאִים שִׁבְעָה שֹׁופְרֹות הַיֹּובְלִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה עָבְרוּ וְתָקְעוּ בַּשֹּׁופָרֹות וַאֲרֹון בְּרִית יְהוָה הֹלֵךְ אַחֲרֵיהֶם׃ | |
| 9 | And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually. |
וְהֶחָלוּץ הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים [כ= תָּקְעוּ] [ק= תֹּקְעֵי] הַשֹּׁופָרֹות וְהַמְאַסֵּף הֹלֵךְ אַחֲרֵי הָאָרֹון הָלֹוךְ וְתָקֹועַ בַּשֹּׁופָרֹות׃ | |
| 10 | But Joshua commanded the people, "You shall not shout or let your voice be heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then you shall shout." |
וְאֶת־הָעָם צִוָּה יְהֹושֻׁעַ לֵאמֹר לֹא תָרִיעוּ וְלֹא־תַשְׁמִיעוּ אֶת־קֹולְכֶם וְלֹא־יֵצֵא מִפִּיכֶם דָּבָר עַד יֹום אָמְרִי אֲלֵיכֶם הָרִיעוּ וַהֲרִיעֹתֶם׃ | J source Jos.6.10-11
|
| 11 | So he caused the ark of the LORD to compass the city, going about it once; and they came into the camp, and spent the night in the camp. |
וַיַּסֵּב אֲרֹון־יְהוָה אֶת־הָעִיר הַקֵּף פַּעַם אֶחָת וַיָּבֹאוּ הַמַּחֲנֶה וַיָּלִינוּ בַּמַּחֲנֶה׃ ף | |
| 12 | Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. |
וַיַּשְׁכֵּם יְהֹושֻׁעַ בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּשְׂאוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה׃ | E source Jos.6.12-13
|
| 13 | And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD passed on, blowing the trumpets continually; and the armed men went before them, and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while the trumpets blew continually. |
וְשִׁבְעָה הַכֹּהֲנִים נֹשְׂאִים שִׁבְעָה שֹׁופְרֹות הַיֹּבְלִים לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון יְהוָה הֹלְכִים הָלֹוךְ וְתָקְעוּ בַּשֹּׁופָרֹות וְהֶחָלוּץ הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵיהֶם וְהַמְאַסֵּף הֹלֵךְ אַחֲרֵי אֲרֹון יְהוָה [כ= הֹולֵךְ] [ק= הָלֹוךְ] וְתָקֹועַ בַּשֹּׁופָרֹות׃ | |
| 14 | And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days. |
וַיָּסֹבּוּ אֶת־הָעִיר בַּיֹּום הַשֵּׁנִי פַּעַם אַחַת וַיָּשֻׁבוּ הַמַּחֲנֶה כֹּה עָשׂוּ שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים׃ | J source Jos.6.14-15
|
| 15 | On the seventh day they rose early at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: it was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times. |
וַיְהִי בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁבִיעִי וַיַּשְׁכִּמוּ כַּעֲלֹות הַשַּׁחַר וַיָּסֹבּוּ אֶת־הָעִיר כַּמִּשְׁפָּט הַזֶּה שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים רַק בַּיֹּום הַהוּא סָבְבוּ אֶת־הָעִיר שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים׃ | |
| 16 | And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout; for the LORD has given you the city. |
וַיְהִי בַּפַּעַם הַשְּׁבִיעִית תָּקְעוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים בַּשֹּׁופָרֹות וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־הָעָם הָרִיעוּ כִּי־נָתַן יְהוָה לָכֶם אֶת־הָעִיר׃ | J E source Jos.6.16a (E); Jos.6.16b-20a (J)
|
| 17 | And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers that we sent. |
וְהָיְתָה הָעִיר חֵרֶם הִיא וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ לַיהוָה רַק רָחָב הַזֹּונָה תִּחְיֶה הִיא וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר אִתָּהּ בַּבַּיִת כִּי הֶחְבְּאַתָה אֶת־הַמַּלְאָכִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁלָחְנוּ׃ | |
| 18 | But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction, and bring trouble upon it. |
וְרַק־אַתֶּם שִׁמְרוּ מִן־הַחֵרֶם פֶּן־תַּחֲרִימוּ וּלְקַחְתֶּם מִן־הַחֵרֶם וְשַׂמְתֶּם אֶת־מַחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל לְחֵרֶם וַעֲכַרְתֶּם אֹותֹו׃ | |
| 19 | But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the LORD; they shall go into the treasury of the LORD." |
וְכֹל כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וּכְלֵי נְחֹשֶׁת וּבַרְזֶל קֹדֶשׁ הוּא לַיהוָה אֹוצַר יְהוָה יָבֹוא׃ | |
| 20 | So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people raised 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. |
וַיָּרַע הָעָם וַיִּתְקְעוּ בַּשֹּׁפָרֹות וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ הָעָם אֶת־קֹול הַשֹּׁופָר וַיָּרִיעוּ הָעָם תְּרוּעָה גְדֹולָה וַתִּפֹּל הַחֹומָה תַּחְתֶּיהָ וַיַּעַל הָעָם הָעִירָה אִישׁ נֶגְדֹּו וַיִּלְכְּדוּ אֶת־הָעִיר׃ | E source Jos.6.20b
|
| 21 | Then they utterly destroyed all in the city, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword. |
וַיַּחֲרִימוּ אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר בָּעִיר מֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה מִנַּעַר וְעַד־זָקֵן וְעַד שֹׁור וָשֶׂה וַחֲמֹור לְפִי־חָרֶב׃ | |
| 22 | And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the harlot's house, and bring out from it the woman, and all who belong to her, as you swore to her." |
וְלִשְׁנַיִם הָאֲנָשִׁים הַמְרַגְּלִים אֶת־הָאָרֶץ אָמַר יְהֹושֻׁעַ בֹּאוּ בֵּית־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּונָה וְהֹוצִיאוּ מִשָּׁם אֶת־הָאִשָּׁה וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לָהּ כַּאֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּעְתֶּם לָהּ׃ | |
| 23 | So the young men who had been spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her; and they brought all her kindred, and set them outside the camp of Israel. |
וַיָּבֹאוּ הַנְּעָרִים הַמְרַגְּלִים וַיֹּצִיאוּ אֶת־רָחָב וְאֶת־אָבִיהָ וְאֶת־אִמָּהּ וְאֶת־אַחֶיהָ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לָהּ וְאֵת כָּל־מִשְׁפְּחֹותֶיהָ הֹוצִיאוּ וַיַּנִּיחוּם מִחוּץ לְמַחֲנֵה יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | |
| 24 | And they burned the city with fire, and all within it; only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. |
וְהָעִיר שָׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ רַק הַכֶּסֶף וְהַזָּהָב וּכְלֵי הַנְּחֹשֶׁת וְהַבַּרְזֶל נָתְנוּ אֹוצַר בֵּית־יְהוָה׃ | E source Jos.6.24-25
|
| 25 | But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household, and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive; and she dwelt in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. |
וְאֶת־רָחָב הַזֹּונָה וְאֶת־בֵּית אָבִיהָ וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לָהּ הֶחֱיָה יְהֹושֻׁעַ וַתֵּשֶׁב בְּקֶרֶב יִשְׂרָאֵל עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה כִּי הֶחְבִּיאָה אֶת־הַמַּלְאָכִים אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח יְהֹושֻׁעַ לְרַגֵּל אֶת־יְרִיחֹו׃ ף | |
| 26 | JOSHUA laid an oath upon them at that time, saying, "Cursed before the LORD be the man that rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. At the cost of his first-born shall he lay its foundation,
and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates." |
וַיַּשְׁבַּע יְהֹושֻׁעַ בָּעֵת הַהִיא לֵאמֹר אָרוּר הָאִישׁ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר יָקוּם וּבָנָה אֶת־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת אֶת־יְרִיחֹו בִּבְכֹרֹו יְיַסְּדֶנָּה וּבִצְעִירֹו יַצִּיב דְּלָתֶיהָ׃ | J source Jos.6.26
|
| 27 | So the Lord was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land. |
וַיְהִי יְהוָה אֶת־יְהֹושֻׁעַ וַיְהִי שָׁמְעֹו בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ׃ | |
