None is like the God of Jeshurun, riding the heavens for your help, and the clouds in His majesty.

The God of old is a refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And He shall cast the enemy out from before you, and shall say, Destroy!

Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, Prepare food for you. For within three days you are crossing this Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you, to possess it.

Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God has given you rest, and He has given to you this land.

until Jehovah has given rest to your brothers, as well as to you, and they, even they have possessed the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them. Then you may return to the land of your possession, and may possess it, which Moses theservant of Jehovah has given to you beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.

According to all we heard from Moses, so we will listen to you. Surely Jehovah your God is with you, as He has been with Moses.

And Joshua said to Achan, My son, now give glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and give thanks to Him, and please tell me what you have done. Do not hide it from me.

And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Truly I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and this I have done:
