Book of Yahshua

(Joshua)

The Book of Yahshua is a continuation of the journey of the people of Yisrael into the “Promised Land” across the Yarden River. They would be required to fight several bloody battles for this territory, and were commanded by Yahweh to completely destroy the “cursed seed” people, so they would not be a “thorn in the side” in the future. Yisrael did not accomplish this, and these people are a “thorn” today. Yahshua’s very name means Yah is salvation, and is the identical Hebrew name of the Messiah, Yahshua. It has been tampered with in

spelling over the years, and I have restored it to the original form, without regard to the erroneous Masoretic vowel point version. The Talmudists have done all they could to hide the Name of Yahweh, and as Yah(weh) is part of the name of Yah(shua), they have altered it as well. As in my other works, a word or number(Strong’s) in italics is inserted for ease of reading, or for information purposes, but is NOT IN the Hebrew text. Names of places and people in the margin are spelled as in the KJV for reference purposes. In the text itself they will be in transliterated form of the Hebrew.

1 1. Now after the death of Mosheh 4872 the servant of Yahweh it came to pass, that Yahweh spoke to Yahshua 3091 the son of Nun 5126, Mosheh’s minister, saying,

2. “Mosheh My servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Yarden 3383, you, and all these people, to the land which I give to them, to the children of Yisrael 3478.

3. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that I have given to you, as I said to Mosheh.

4. From the wilderness and this Lebanon 3844 even to the great river, the River Perath 6578, all the land of the Chitty 2850, and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your

territory.

5. There shall not be any man able to stand 3320 before you all the days of your life: as I was with Mosheh, I will be with you: I will not abandon 7503 you, nor forsake 5800 you.

6. Be strong 2388 and courageous 553: for to this people you shall divide for an inheritance the land which I swore to their ancestors to give them.

7. Only be strong and very 3966 courageous, that you may observe and do according to all the Torah 8451, which Mosheh My servant commanded you: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may prosper 7919 wherever you go.

8. This book of the Torah shall not depart from your mouth; but you shall meditate 1897 in it day and night, so that you may observe and do according to all that is written 3789 in it: because then you shall make your way prosperous 6473, and then you shall prosper 7919.

9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid 6206, neither be dismayed 2865: because Yahweh your Elohiym is with you wherever you go.”

10. Then Yahshua commanded the officers 7860 of the people, saying,

11.”Pass through the camp 4264, and command the people saying, \’Prepare 3559 your

provisions 6720, because within three days you shall pass over the Yarden, to go in to possess the land, which Yahweh your Elohiym gives to possess.\’ “

12. And to the Reubeniy 7206 and to the Gadiy 1425, and to the half-tribe of Menashsheh 4519, Yahshua spoke, saying,

13.”Remember the word which Mosheh the servant of Yahweh commanded you, saying, \’Yahweh your Elohiym has given you rest 5117, and has given you this land

14. Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock 4735 shall remain in the land which Mosheh gave you on this side of the Yarden; but you shall pass before your kinsmen armed 2571, all the

mighty men 1368 of valor 2428, and help them;

15. Until Yahweh has given your kinsmen rest, as you, and they have also possessed the land which Yahweh your Elohiym gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and possess it, which Mosheh Yahweh’s servant gave you on this side of the Yarden toward the sunrising.”

16. And they answered Yahshua, saying,“All that you command us we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go.

17. As we listened to Mosheh in all things, so we will listen to you: only Yahweh your Elohiym will be with you, as He was with Mosheh.

18. All men that rebel against 4784 your commandment 6310, and will not listen to your words in all you command them, shall be put to death
: only be strong and courageous.”

Chapter 1 Notes – Chapter 1 has Yahshua assuming command, under the direction of Yahweh, and preparing Yisrael to finally cross the Yarden River. Yisrael shows loyalty to Yahshua, as Yahweh speaks directly to him, as He did with Moshe.

2 1. And Yahshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittiym 7581 two men to spy 7270 secretly 2791, saying, “Go, view the land, and Yericho 3405.” And they went, and came to a woman 802 innkeeper’s 2181 house, named Rachab 7343, and lodged 7901 there.

2. And it was told to the king of Yericho, saying, “Behold, there came men in here tonight of the children of Yisrael to search out the country.”

3. And the king of Yericho sent to Rachab, saying, “Bring forth the men that have come to you, which have entered into your house: for they have come to search out all the country.”

4. And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said this,”There came men to me, but I knew not from where they were:

5. And it came to pass at the shutting 5462 of the gate, when it was dark 2822, that the men went out: where the men went I do not know: pursue 7291 after them quickly 4118; for you shall overtake 5381 them!\’

6. But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the woody stalks 6086 of flax 6593, which she had laid in order 6186 upon the roof.

7. And the men pursued after them on the way to the Yarden River to the fords 4569: and as soon as those that pursued after were gone out, they shut the gate.

8. And before they were laid down, she came up to them upon the roof;

9. And she said to the men,”I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the terror 367 of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away 4127 from your presence.

10. Because we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Sea of Reeds for you when you came forth from Mitsrayim 4714; and what you did to the two kings of the Emoriy 567, that were on the other side of the Yarden River, Siychon 5511 and Og 5747 whom you utterly destroyed.

11. And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted 4599, neither did there remain any spirit in any man because of your presence: because of Yahweh your Elohiym, He is Elohiym in the sky above, and in the land beneath.

12. Now therefore, please 4994, swear to me by Yahweh, since I have done you a kindness, that you will also do a kindness to my father’s house, and give me a true 571 token 226:

13. And you will preserve the lives 2421 of my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and rescue 5337 our lives 5315 from death.”

14. And the men answered her,”Our lives for yours, if you declare 5046 not this matter. And it shall be, when Yahweh has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.”

15. Then she let them down by a cord 2256 through the window 2474: because her house was upon the town wall’s 2346 inner surface 7023, and she dwelt upon the town wall.

16. And she said to them,”Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned: and afterward you may go your way.”

17. And the men said to her,“We are blameless 5355 from this oath 7621 which we swore 7650.

18. Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind 7194 this cord 8615 of this thread 2339 of scarlet 8144 in the window from which you let us down: and you shall gather 622 your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father’s household, in the house unto you.

19. And it shall be, whoever goes out from the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we are blameless: and whoever shall be in your house with you, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand comes upon him.

20. If you declare this matter, then we will be free 5355 of the oath that we swore.”

21. And she said,“According to your words, so be it!” And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the cord of scarlet in the window.

22. And they walked, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned: and the pursuers sought throughout all the way, but found nothing.

23. So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over the river, and came to Yahshua the son of Nun, and told him all that befell them:

24. And they said to Yahshua, “Truly Yahweh has given all the land into our hands; because even the inhabitants of the land melt away 4127 from our presence.”

Chapter 2 Notes – Verse 1 is where “churchianity” people fall into the trap of the Talmudic Christ-haters, and follow the “party line” that Christ had a whore and a Moabite in His bloodline. In Matt.1:5 it states that Rachab the mother of Boaz by Salmon. Boaz married Ruth, who was an Israelite living in the Israelite-occupied territory of what used to be Moab. As to the people of Yericho, they were of the

Adamic seedline, but not of the covenant people of the specific sub-group of Adam known as Yisrael. Rachab was an innkeeper, not keeper of a brothel. The man that married her was a Prince of Yisrael, and as such could not marry outside of the Adamic bloodline. Josephus backs up the “innkeeper” at Antiquities 5.1.2,7. An Israelite may marry any woman of Adamic seedline, but not one of cursed seedline, or mixed bloodline of any type. Sin comes from sexual union with a non-adamic “beast”, or of any of the cursed seedline peoples.

Verse 10 – Ex. 14:21; Num. 21:21-35

3 1. And Yahshua rose early in the morning; and they set out 5265 from Shittiym, and came to the Yarden River, he and all the children of Yisrael, and lodged 3885 there before they passed over.

2. And it came to pass at the end of three days, that the officers went through the army 4264;

3. And they commanded the people, saying,“When you see the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh your Elohiym, and the priests of the Lewiyim 3881 bearing it, then you shall set out from your place, and walk after it.

4. Yet there shall be a distance 7350 between you and it, about two thousand cubits 520 by measure: do not come near to it, so that you may know the way by which you must go: because you have not passed this way before.”

5. And Yahshua said to the people: “Consecrate yourselves by purification 6942: because tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders 6381 among you.”

6. And Yahshua spoke to 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 Yahweh said to Yahshua, “This day I will begin 2490 to make you great 1431 in the sight of all Yisrael, so that they may know that as I was with Moshe, I will be with you.

8. And you shall command the priests that bear the Ark of the Covenant, saying, \’When you have come to the edge 7097 of the Yarden, you shall stand still 5975 in the Yarden.\’ “

9. And Yahshua said to the children of Yisrael: “Come here, and hear the Words of Yahweh your Elohiym.”

10. And Yahshua said: “Hereby you shall know that the living El 410 is
among you, and He will surely drive out 3423/3423 from before you the Kenaaniy 3669, and the Chitty 2850, and the Chiwwiy 2340, and the Perizziy 6522, and the Girgashiy 1622, and the Emoriy 567, and the Yebusiy 2983.

11. Behold, the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord 113 of all the land passes over before you into Yarden.

12. Now therefore take you twelve men from the tribes of Yisrael, from 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 Covenant of Yahweh, the Lord of all the land, shall rest 5117 in the waters of the Yarden River, the waters of the Yarden shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above 4605; and they shall stand 5975 upon a heap 5067.”

14. And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to pass over the Yarden River, and the priests bearing the Ark of the Covenant before the people;

15. And as they that bore the Ark walked into the Yarden, and the feet of the priests that bore the Ark were dipped 2881 into the edge of the water, because the Yarden River overf1owed 4390/5921 all its banks 1415 all the time of harvest 7105,

16. That the waters that came down from above stood and rose up 6965 upon a heap very far away 7368 from the city Adam 121, that is beside Tsarethan 6891: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, the salt 4417 sea, failed 8552, and were cut off; and the people passed over near Yericho.

17. And the priests that bore the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh stood firm 3559 on dry ground 2724 in the middle of the Yarden, and all the Yisraeliym passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed completely 8552 over the Yarden.

Chapter 3 Notes – Verse 13 is an act similar to the parting of the Sea of Reeds, which this generation had not witnessed. Verse 16 – The Salt Sea is known today as the “Dead” Sea.

4 1. And it came to pass, when all the people were completely passed over the Yarden River, that Yahweh spoke to Yahshua, saying,

2. “Take twelve men from the people, from every tribe a man,

3. and command them, saying, \’Take from here, from the middle of the Yarden, from the place where the priests\’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and you shall carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging place 4411 where you shall lodge 3885 this night!”

4. Then Yahshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared 3559 from the children of Yisrael, from every tribe a man:

5. And Yahshua said to them, “Pass over before the Ark of Yahweh your Elohiym into the middle of the Yarden, and every man lift up a stone upon his shoulder 7926, according to the number 4557 of the tribes of the children of Yisrael:

6. That this may be a sign 226 among you, when your children ask in the future 4279, saying,‘What do these stones mean?’

7. Then you shall answer them,‘That the waters of the Yarden River were cut off before the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh; when it passed over the Yarden, the waters of the Yarden were cut off:\’ and these stones shall be a memorial 2146 to the children of Yisrael forever.\’ “

8. And the children of Yisrael did so as Yahshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle of the Yarden, as Yahweh spoke to Yahshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Yisrael, and carried them over to the place of lodging, and

laid them down there.

9. And Yahshua set up the twelve stones from the middle of the Yarden, from the place where the priests which bore the Ark of the Covenant stood: and they are there to this day.

10. The priests which bore the Ark stood in the middle of the Yarden, until every thing was finished 8552 that Yahweh commanded Yahshua to speak to the people, according to all that Mosheh commanded Yahshua: and the people hastened and passed over.

11. And it came to pass, when all the people were finished passing over, that the Ark of Yahweh 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 Menashsheh, passed over armed 2571 before the children of Yisrael, as Mosheh spoke to them.

13. About forty thousand armed 2502 for war 6635 passed over before Yahweh to battle 4421, to the plains of Yericho.

14. On that day Yahweh made Yahshua great in the sight of all Yisrael; and they revered 3372 him, as they revered Mosheh, all the days of his life.

15. And Yahweh spoke to Yahshua, saying,

16. “Command the priests that bear the Ark of the Testimony 5715, that they come up out of the Yarden,”

17. Yahshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Yarden.”

18. And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh had come up from themiddle of the Yarden, the soles of the priests\’ feet were drawn out 5423 onto the dry land 2724, that the waters of the Yarden returned to their place, and came upon all its banks as before.

19. And the people came up from the Yarden on the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Gilgal, on the east border of Yeriycho.

20. And those twelve stones which they had taken from the Yarden, Yahshua set up in Gilgal.

21. And he spoke to the children of Yisrael, saying, “When your children ask their fathers in the future, saying, \’What do these stones mean?\’

22. Then you shall let your children know, saying, \’Yisrael came over the Yarden on dry land.

23. Because Yahweh your Elohiym dried up the waters of the Yarden from before you, until you were passed over, as Yahweh your Elohiym did to the Sea of Reeds 5488, which He dried up from before us, until we were passed over:

24. So that all the people of the land might know the hand 3027 of Yahweh, that it is mighty 2389: that you revere Yahweh your Elohiym forever. \’ “

Chapter 4 Notes – Yahweh “repeated” a miracle with the waters of the Yarden River, because all the generation that had witnessed the miracle at the Reed Sea had died off. This also firmly established Yashua as leader, removing all possible doubts. Reference – Verse 19 – Jasher 88:10

5 1. And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emoriy, which were on the side of the Yarden sea-ward 3220, and all the kings of the Kenaaniy which were by the sea 3220, heard that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Yarden from before the children of Yisrael, until they were passed over, that

melted their hearts, neither was there spirit in them any more , because of the presence of the children of Yisrael.

2. At that time Yahweh said to Yahshua, “Make you flint 6864 knives 2719, and circumcise 4135 again the sons of Yisrael the second time 8145.”

3. And Yahshua made him flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Yisrael at the hill 1389 of the foreskins 6190.

4. And this is the cause 1697 why Yahshua circumcised: All the people that came out of Mitsrayim, males, all men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Mitsrayim.

5. Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people born in the wilderness on the way as they came forth from Mitsrayim, they had not circumcised.

6. Because the children of Yisrael walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Mitsrayim, were consumed because they did not obey the voice of Yahweh: unto whom Yahweh swore that He would not show them the land which Yahweh swore to to their ancestors that He would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.

7. And their children, whom He raised up in their stead, them Yahshua circumcised: because they were with foreskins 6189, becau
se they had not circumcised them on the way.

8. And it came to pass, when they had completed 8552 circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, until they were healed 2421.

9. And Yahweh said to Yahshua: “This day I have rolled away 1556 the reproach 2781 of Mitsrayim from upon you!” Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal 1537 unto this day.

10. And the children of Yisrael camped in Gilgal, and did the passover 6453 on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Yeriycho.

11. And they ate of the produce 5669 of the land on the morning after the passover, matsah 4682, and parched grain 7033 in the selfsame 6106/2088 day.

12. And the man 4478 ceased 7673 on the morning after they had eaten of the produce of the land: neither had the children of Yisrael man any more; but they ate of the crops 8393 of the land of Kenaan that year.

13. And it came to pass, when Yahshua was by Yeriycho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man 376 before him with his sword drawn out in his hand: and Yahshua went to him, and said to him,“Are you for us, or for our adversaries 6862?”

14. And he said: “Nay, but as captain 8269 of the army 6635 of Yahweh am I now come!” And Yahshua prostrated himself 5307 before him 6440 on the ground, and bowed down 7812, and said to him, “What say my lord 113 to his servant 5650?”

15. And the captain of Yahweh’s army said to Yahshua, “Remove 5394 your shoes 5275 from upon your feet; because the place upon which you stand is holy 6944.” And Yahshua did so.

Verse 12 – Ex. 16:35; Jasher 88:12.

6 l. Now Yeriycho was completely closed up 5462/5462 because of the children of Yisrael: none went out, and none came in.

2. And Yahweh said to Yahshua, “See, I have given Yeriycho into your hand, and the king of it, and the mighty 1368 men of valor 2428.

3. And you shall march around 5437 the city, all men of war 4421, go around 5362 the city one time. Thus you shall do for six 8337 days.

4. And seven 7651 priests shall bear before the Ark seven shophars 7782 of rams\’ horns 3104: and the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow 8628 with the shophars.

5. And it shall come to pass, that when they draw out 4900 the sound with the ram’s horn 7161, when you hear the sound 6963 of the shophar, all the people shall shout a war cry 7321 with a great 1419 war cry 8643; and the wall 2346 of the city shall fall down 5307 where it stands 8478, and the people shall ascend up 5927 every man straightforward 5048.”

6. And Yahshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and let seven priests bear seven shophars of rams\’ horns before the Ark of Yahweh!”

7. And he said to the people: “Pass on, and march around the city, and let those that are armed 2502 pass on before the Ark of Yahweh!”

8. And it came to pass, when Yahshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven shophars of rams\’ horns passed on before Yahweh, and blew with the shophars: and the Ark of the Covenant of Yahweh followed them.

9. And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the shophars, and the rearguard 622 came after the Ark, the priests walking, and blowing the shophars.

10. And Yahshua had commanded the people, saying:”You shall not shout, nor utter a sound 8085 with your voice 6963, neither shall any word go forth from your mouth, until the day I say shout 7321; then you shall shout!”

11. So the Ark of Yahweh went around the city, going about one time: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

12. And Yahshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the Ark of Yahweh:

13. And seven priests bearing seven shophars of rams\’ horns before the Ark of Yahweh walked continually, and blew the shophars: and the armed men walked before them; but the rearguard walked after the Ark of Yahweh, the priests walking, and blowing the shophars.

14. And the second day they marched around the city one time, and returned to the camp: so they did six days.

15. And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning 7837 of the day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times: only on that day they marched around the city seven times,

16. and it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the shophars, Yahshua said to the people, “Shout 7321; because Yahweh has given you the city.

17. And the city shall be devoted 2764 to destruction, it, and all that are in it, to Yahweh: only 7535 Rachab the innkeeper 2181 shall live, she, and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the

messengers that we sent.

18. And you shall in all ways keep 8104 from the devoted things, lest you make yourselves devoted 2763 for destruction, when you take the devoted thing and make the camp of Yisrael devoted to destruction 5916, and cause it trouble.

19. But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated 6944 to Yahweh: they shall come into the treasury 214 of Yahweh.”

20. So the people shouted when the priests blew the shophars: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the shophar, and the people shouted with a great shout 8643, that the wall fell down where it stood 8478, so that the people went up into the city, every man straightforward, and they captured 3920 the city.

21. And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young men and old men, and oxen, and sheep, and asses, with the edge of the sword.

22. But Yahshua had said to the two men that had spied out the country, “Go into the woman innkeeper’s house, and bring out from there the woman, and all she has, as you swore to her.”

23. And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rachab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred 4940, and placed 5117 them outside the camp of Yisrael.

24. And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it: only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the House of Yahweh.

25. And Yahshua saved alive Rachab the innkeeper, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelled in Yisrael unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Yahshua sent to spy out Yeriycho.

26. And Yahshua promised 7650 at that time, saying, “Cursed 779 be the man before Yahweh, that rises up and rebuilds this city Yeriycho: he shall lay the foundation 3245 of it in his firstborn 1060, and in his youngest son 6810 he shall set up the doors 1817 of it.”

27. So Yahweh was with Yahshua; and his fame 8089 was throughout all the land 776.

Chapter 6 Notes – The story of the fall of Yeriycho is a famous one, with the walls falling down by Yahweh’s power. This had the effect of striking terror into the hearts of all the opposition. The word “trumpet” in the KJV is 3104 yobel in verse 4, and from this word we get “yobeliy” (jubilee), sounding of the rams\’ horns, and 7782 shophar, which is a physical ram’s horn. The Holy number 7 comes into play here. Seven priests, seven shophars, seven times around the city,
seven days for a week, seventh day shabbath of rest. Over and over through Scripture this number stands out in power. In verses 17 and 18, there are two words that are “accursed” in the KJV. This is a total error. The words are 2763 charam, and 2764 cherem. They both mean “devoted” in some manner, depending on context. Here it is “devoted to destruction”, and “devoted for Yahweh’s use”, similar to being “consecrated” when used of an object “devoted” for use in the Temple. When used of evil people, or a city that is opposed to Yahweh, such as Yeriycho, it means “devoted to destruction”. No curse is implied. In verse 26, 779 arar means “curse”. The “devoted” object comes into play in Chapter 7, with Achan taking a valuable item for himself, thereby causing the camp of Yisrael to be in danger of being “devoted for destruction” itself. Again in verse 17, “harlot” is used in the KJV concerning Rachab. In Josephus Antiquities 5.1.2,7 it clearly states she was an innkeeper. 2181 zanah can mean both in Hebrew, but “churchianity” follows the Talmudists in trying to besmirch Yahshua Messiah’s lineage. >Continued on Page 9 >

Rachab later married Salmon, a Prince of Yahudah (Judah), ref. Matt.l:5, and their son was Boaz, who married Ruth, and their son was Obed. All in the line of King David, down to the line of the Messiah Himself, Yahshua. A Prince of Yahudah would never marry a “harlot”, but the position of innkeeper was honorable for a pure woman, so in that vein, a marriage is quite permissable. The crimson thread used from the window is a sign of royalty, so another little hint as to who Rachab was is given here. Sorry Christ haters, but the bloodline of David and Yahshua Messiah is pure.

7 1. But the children of Yisrael committed a trespass in the devoted thing 2764: because Achan 5912, the son of Karmiy 3756, the son of Zabdiy 2067, the son of Zerach 2226, of the tribe of Yahudah, took of the devoted thing: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the children of Yisrael.

2. And Yahshua sent men from Yeriycho to Ay 5857, which is next to Beyth-Awen 1007, on the east side of Beyth-El 1008, and spoke to them, saying: “Go up and spy out 7270 the country!” And the men went up and spied out Ay.

3. And they returned to Yahshua, and said to him: “Not all the people need to go up; let two or three thousand men go up and smite Ay; not all the people need to go toilsomely 3021 there; because they are few 4592.”

4. So about three thousand men from the people went up there: and they fled 5127 before the men of Ay.

5. And the men of Ay smote 5221 about thirty-six men of them: and pursued 7291 them from before the gate unto Shebariym 7671, and smote them in the descent 4174. The hearts of the people melted 4549, and became as water.

6. And Yahshua rent his clothes, and prostrated himself on the ground upon his face before the Ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Yisrael, and put dust 6083 upon their heads.

7. And Yahshua said, “Alas, O Lord Yahweh, for what reason have You brought this people over the Yarden, to give us into the hand of the Emoriy 567, to destroy 6 us? Oh that we had been willing 2974, and had dwelled on the other side of the Yarden!

8. O Yahweh, what shall I say, when Yisrael turns 2015 their backs 6203 before their hated enemies!

9. The Kenaaniy and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall turn 5437 upon us, and cut off our name from the land: and what will You do about Your Great Name?”

10. And Yahweh said to Yahshua, “Arise, for what reason do you lie this way upon your face?

11. Yisrael has sinned, and also overstepped 5674 My Covenant 1285 which I commanded them: they also took from the devoted things, and also have stolen 1589, and also lied 3584, and put it also among their own vessels 3627.

12. Therefore the children of Yisrael could not stand before their hated enemies, but turned their backs before their hated enemies, because they had become devoted 2764: I will not be with you any more if you do not destroy the devoted thing 2764 from among you.

[By the sin of taking the devoted thing, Yisrael itself became ha-chereb 2764. This is a condition

that is difficult to translate into English]

13. Arise, sanctify 6942 the people, and say, \’Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow: because thus says Yahweh Elohiym of Yisrael: ‘A devoted thing is in the midst of you, O Yisrael: you cannot stand before your hated enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.

14. In the morning you shall be brought near 7126 by tribes 7626: and it shall be which tribe Yahweh takes by lot 3920 shall be brought near by clan 4940, and the clan which Yahweh shall take by lot shall be brought near by household 1004; and the household which Yahweh shall take by lot shall be brought near man by man.

15. And it shall be, that he that is taken by lot with the devoted thing shall be burnt 8313 with fire, he, and all he has: because he has overstepped the Covenant of Yahweh, and because he has committed a disgraceful thing 5039 in Yis\’rael.”

16. So Yahshua rose up early in the morning, and brought near Yisrael by their tribes; and the tribe of Yahudah was taken by lot:

17. And he brought near the clans of Yahudah; and he took by lot the clan of the Zarchiy 2227: and he brought near the clan of the Zarchiy man by man: and Zabdiy 2067 was taken by lot.

18. And he brought near his household man by man; and Achan 5912, the son of Karmiy 3756, the son of Zabdiy, the son of Zerach 2226, of the tribe of Yahudah, was taken by lot.

19. And Yahshua said to Achan: “My son, please give glory to Yahweh Elohiym of Yisrael, and make confession 8426 to him; and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me!”

20. And Achan answered Yahshua, and said: “Truly 546 I have sinned against Yahweh Elohiym of Yisrael, and this and this I have done:

21. When I saw among the spoils a good mantle 155 of Shinar 8152, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a tongue shaped wedge 3956 of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted 2530 them, and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver beneath it.”

22. So Yahshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver beneath it.

23. And they took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Yahshua, and to all the children of Yisrael, and poured them out 3332 before Yahweh.

24. And Yahshua, and all Yisrael with him, took Achan the son of Zerach, and the silver, and the mantle, and the tongue shaped wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to the Valley of Achor 5911.

25. And Yahshua said,“Why have you caused us trouble 5916? Yahweh shall trouble 5916 you this day.” And all Yisrael stoned 5619 him with stones 68, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned 7275 them with stones.

26. And they raised up upon him a great heap 1530 of stones unto this day. So Yahweh turned away from the burning 2740 of His anger 639. For this reason the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.

Chapter 7 Notes – Yahweh sent a g
raphic message to Yisrael, with the execution by stoning of an entire family for the fathers sins. The family knew of this action, thus came under the father’s punishment. This was to forstall any further breach of His Covenant. His anger over this must have been terrible to behold. References – Verse 1 -Jasher 88:24; 2764 here as “banned from possession”;

Verse 6 – Jasher 88:29; Verse 10 – Jasher 88:32; Verse 18 – 5912 Achan, means “trouble” or “troublesome”. Verse 22 – Jasher 88:35; Verse 24 – 5911 Achor, is an offshoot of 5912, thus meaning “Valley of Troubles”. Verse 26 – Jasher 88:37.

8 1. And Yahweh said to Yahshua: “Do not fear 3372 nor be dismayed 2865: take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ay 5857: See, I have given into your hand the king of Ay, and his people, and his city, and his land:

2. And you shall do to Ay, and her king, as you did to Yeriycho and her king: however, the spoil 7998 of it, and the cattle of it, you shall take for booty for yourselves: lay an ambush 693 for the city from behind it.”

3. So Yahshua rose up, and all the people of war, to go up against Ay. And Yahshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.

4. And he commanded them, saying, “Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; do not go very far from the city, but be ready:

5. And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach to the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out to meet us, like the first time, we shall flee before them,

6. They will go forth after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; because they will say, \’They flee before us, like the first time therefore we will flee before them.

7. Then you shall rise up from the ambush, and possess 3423 the city: Yahweh your Elohiym will give it into your hand.

8. And it shall be, when you have captured 8610 the city, you shall set the city on fire: according to the Word of Yahweh you shall act. See, I have commanded you.”

9. Yahshua sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Beyth-El and Ay, on the sea-ward side of Ay: but Yahshua lodged that night among the people.

10. And Yahshua rose early in the morning, and mustered 6485 the people, and went up, he and the elders of Yisrael, before the people to Ay.

11. And all the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and camped 2583 on the north side of Ay: there was a valley between them and Ay.

12. And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Beyth-El and Ay on the sea-ward side of the city.

13. And when they had set the people, all the army that was on the north side of the city and their rear guard 6119 sea-ward of the city, and Yahshua went that night into the middle of the valley.

14. And it came to pass, when the king of Ay saw it, they made haste and rose early, and the men of the city went forth to meet Yisrael in battle, he and all his people, at an appointed time before the plain 6160; but he did not know of the liers in ambush behind the city.

15. And Yahshua and all of Yisrael acted beaten 5060 before them, and fled by the way to the wilderness.

16. And all the people of Ay were assembled 2199 to pursue after them: and they pursued after Yahshua, and were drawn away from the city.

17. And there was not a man left in Ay or Beyth-El that did not go forth after Yisrael: and they left the city open, and pursued after Yisrael.

18. And Yahweh said to Yahshua: “Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ay, because I will give it into your hand!” And Yahshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.

19. And the liers in ambush arose quickly from their place, and they ran when he stretched out his hand and entered the city and captured it, and they made haste and set the city on fire.

20. And when the men of Ay looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke from the city rose up to the sky, and they had no power 3027 to flee this way or that way: and the people of Yisrael that had fled to the wilderness turned back upon their pursuers.

21. And when Yahshua and all Yisrael saw that the liers in ambush had captured the city, and that the smoke of the city rose up, then they turned around and smote 5221 the men of Ay.

22. And the others of Yisrael came forth from the city against them; so they had become in the midst of Yisrael, some on this side, and some on that side, and they smote them so none remained alive as survivors 6412.
