¹ 耶利哥的城门因以色列人就关得严紧，无人出入。

² 耶和华晓谕约书亚说：看哪，我已经把耶利哥和耶利哥的王，并大能的勇士，都交在你手中。

³ 你们的一切兵丁要围绕这城，一日围绕一次，六日都要这样行。

⁴ 七个祭司要拿七个羊角走在约柜前。到第七日，你们要绕城七次，祭司也要吹角。

⁵ 他们吹的角声拖长，你们听见角声，众百姓要大声呼喊，城墙就必塌陷，各人都要往前直上。

⁶ 嫩的儿子约书亚召了祭司来，吩咐他们说：你们抬起约柜来，要有七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华的约柜前；

⁷ 又对百姓说：你们前去绕城，带兵器的要走在耶和华的约柜前。

⁸ 约书亚对百姓说完了话，七个祭司拿七个羊角走在耶和华面前吹角；耶和华的约柜在他们後面跟随。

⁹ 带兵器的走在吹角的祭司前面，後队随着约柜行。祭司一面走一面吹。

¹⁰ 约书亚吩咐百姓说：你们不可呼喊，不可出声，连一句话也不可出你们的口，等到我吩咐你们呼喊的日子，那时才可以呼喊。

¹¹ 这样，他使耶和华的约柜绕城，把城绕了一次；众人回到营里，就在营里住宿。

¹² 约书亚清早起来，祭司又抬起耶和华的约柜。

¹³ 七个祭司拿七个羊角在耶和华的约柜前，时常行走吹角；带兵器的在他们前面走，後队随着耶和华的约柜行。祭司一面走一面吹。

¹⁴ 第二日，众人把城绕了一次，就回营里去。六日都是这样行。

¹⁵ 第七日清早，黎明的时候，他们起来，照样绕城七次；惟独这日把城绕了七次。

¹⁶ 到了第七次，祭司吹角的时候，约书亚吩咐百姓说：呼喊罢，因为耶和华已经把城交给你们了！

¹⁷ 这城和其中所有的都要在耶和华面前毁灭；只有妓女喇合与他家中所有的可以存活，因为他隐藏了我们所打发的使者。

¹⁸ 至於你们，务要谨慎，不可取那当灭的物，恐怕你们取了那当灭的物就连累以色列的全营，使全营受咒诅。

¹⁹ 惟有金子、银子，和铜铁的器皿都要归耶和华为圣，必入耶和华的库中。

²⁰ 於是百姓呼喊，祭司也吹角。百姓听见角声，便大声呼喊，城墙就塌陷，百姓便上去进城，各人往前直上，将城夺取。

²¹ 又将城中所有的，不拘男女老少，牛羊和驴，都用刀杀尽。

²² 约书亚吩咐窥探地的两个人说：你们进那妓女的家，照着你们向他所起的誓，将那女人和他所有的都从那里带出来。

²³ 当探子的两个少年人就进去，将喇合与他的父母、弟兄，和他所有的，并他一切的亲眷，都带出来，安置在以色列的营外。

²⁴ 众人就用火将城和其中所有的焚烧了；惟有金子、银子，和铜铁的器皿都放在耶和华殿的库中。

²⁵ 约书亚却把妓女喇合与他父家，并他所有的，都救活了；因为他隐藏了约书亚所打发窥探耶利哥的使者，他就住在以色列中，直到今日。

²⁶ 当时，约书亚叫众人起誓说：有兴起重修这耶利哥城的人，当在耶和华面前受咒诅。他立根基的时候，必丧长子，安门的时候，必丧幼子。

²⁷ 耶和华与约书亚同在，约书亚的声名传扬遍地。

¹ He said to Moses, "Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

² Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."

³ Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, "All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do."

⁴ Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

⁵ He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

⁶ Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

⁷ He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient."

⁸ Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words."

⁹ Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

¹⁰ They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

¹¹ He didn't lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

¹² Yahweh said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."

¹³ Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.

¹⁴ He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."

¹⁵ Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

¹⁶ The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¹⁷ The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

¹⁸ Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
