Numbers (Journeys) 14:6  Nun's son JAHshua and Jephunneh's son Caleb, [the leaders of] the spy squad who searched the [Promised] land, rip their clothes, 😇!
Caleb and JahShua are symbols of salvation. 99.9999% of the population dies. Few people find the way to eternal life. Most people are weeds.Numbers (Journeys) 14:7  [JAHshua & Caleb] address the whole [representative] community of the sons of Israel. [The two men cry,] “The land we passed through to search is a super, exceptionally awesome country. Numbers (Journeys) 14:10   But the whole crowd [screams], “Stone [JAHshua and Caleb with rocks until their brains bleed out on the ground]!” [Suddenly] the glory of YHVH appears in the Meeting Tent. [Heaven's light flashes on the stunned] faces of the [2 million] people of Israel!Numbers (Journeys) 14:24 [Aside from JAHshua,] only my servant Caleb {Battle-Cry} has My [unique, world-defying sacred] spirit [within] him. He continues to fully follow Me. So I soon bring him into the land he infiltrated. His seed-children live to possess it.Numbers (Journeys) 14:30  Except for Jephunneh's son Caleb {Battle-Cry}, and Nun's son JAHshua {YAH-Saves}, [none of] you [Israelites] ever set [one foot] in the land I raised my hand [to promise] to make a home [for your people].Numbers (Journeys) 14:38  Yet JAHshua (Nun's son) and Caleb {Battle-Cry} the son of Jephunneh, the [brave] men who went to search the land, live [unharmed]. Numbers (Journeys) 26:65 For YHVH [condemned the complainers, predicting], “Absolutely ALL of the [ingrates] will die in the wilderness!” So, 😇, not one man [whom Moses led out of Egypt] survived, except Caleb {Battle-Cry} (son of Jephunneh {Ready}) and JAHshua {YAH-Saves} (the son of Nun {Eternity}).
Caleb and Joshua were presumably too young to be counted in the earlier head-count.Numbers (Journeys) 27:18  So YHVH replies to Moses, “You take Nun's son JAHshua, a man in whom [lives My] spirit. [Publicly] lay your hand [of blessing] upon his [head].Numbers (Journeys) 27:19 [Then] set [JAHshua] before [high] priest ELeazar {El's-Aid}. Before the whole congregation [of elders], give [JAHshua your] commission, while everyone watches.Numbers (Journeys) 27:20 Pass your authority to JAHshua, so that the whole [2 Million] people of Israel will [be inclined to] obey [him].
OR , "delegate some of your authority."Numbers (Journeys) 27:21  And whenever [the nation] needs counsel from YHVH, [instead of resorting to the madness of the popular vote,] [JAHshua] will [humbly] stand before [high] priest ELeazar {El's-Aid}, who will face YHVH, [praying for YAH] to render a judgment by means of the [supernatural] Urim [stone(s)]. [Then,] at JAHshua's word, the Israelites will venture out. At [JAHshua's] word, they'll enter [their destination]: [JAHshua], and all the children of Israel with him: the whole [2 Million person] crowd [as one man, united under YHVH's leadership].”
This is the idea expressed as “E Pluribus Unum” [Out of many, one]. It is the idea behind the pagan pledge of allegiance, “one nation, under god, indivisible.” But without YAH's Laws, the only way a state can be unified is through brainwashing and oppression. Democracy will NEVER work, as stated by Ben Franklin and the other ‘founding fathers’ of the USA.Numbers (Journeys) 27:22 So, 😇, Moses does everything as YHVH commands him. He escorts JAHshua [outside the Meeting Tent]. He sets [JAHshua] before [high] priest ELeazar {El's-Aid}, before the whole [massive Israeli] crowd. Numbers (Journeys) 27:23 [Then,] as YHVH commanded him, Moses lays his hands upon [JAHshua]. Thus [Moses] hands over his authority, [proclaiming JAHshua his successor].Numbers (Journeys) 31:15  [One of the slut-women flicks her snake-tongue at Moses. She hisses, “Hey, Moses, wanna piece of this?” Moses’ eyes glaze. His vision tunnels onto her. She flicks up her skirt; her hand goes down, tempting Moses. Her eyes turn blood red. She says, “My god Chemosh (Crusher) will give you pleasures and power you've never dreamed.”] Moses [jerks his head away from the seductive trance the whore is casting on him]. He yells to [JAHshua and his men], “Have you [perverts] dragged all these [pagan prostitutes] back here to live [with you]?
Demons enter people who copulate with demon-possessed people.Numbers (Journeys) 32:12  Except for Caleb {Battle-Cry} the son of Jephunneh {Ready} the descendant of Kenaz {Hunter}, and JAHshua the son of Nun {Eternity}. [Caleb & Joshua get to go into the Promised Land,] because [of all the original émigrés, only] those [two men] wholly followed YHVH.” | Moses Deeds The Eastern Lands To The Ranchers | Numbers (Journeys) 32:28 So, Moses commands [high] priest ELeazar {El's-Aid}, and JAHshua (the son of Nun {Eternity}), and the chief fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, as to [how to deal with these materialistic Israelis, 😇]:
Numbers (Journeys) 34:17 “These are the names of the [two] men who will divide the land [between all of] you [Israelites]: [high] priest ELeazar {El's-Aid} and JAHshua (Son of Nun {Perennial}).Deuteronomy 1:38 So Nun's son JAHshua, who stands before you, will go into [the Promised Land in my place]. Encourage [JAHshua]. He comes to enable Israel to inherit [the Land].Deuteronomy 3:21 Right then I commanded JAHshua, saying, “Your eyes have seen all [the destruction] that YHVH your Elohim [wreaked on] these two [satanic] kings [Og and Sihon]. That's [just a taste of] what YHVH comes to do to all the kingdoms where you're going. Deuteronomy 3:28 Instead, [yield your] commission to [young] JAHshua. Encourage him. Strengthen him. For he'll cross over [to the Promised Land] leading this populace. He'll enable them to inherit the land you'll see [from the mountain].’Deuteronomy 31:3 YHVH your Elohim soon crosses over before you. HE, [not you,] destroys the beast-nations before your [singing] faces. So you come to own their [countries]. JAHshua, [not me,] is going over [the river] leading you, as YHVH predicted. | Moses Says 'Joshua, Let YAH Fight Your Wars' | Deuteronomy 31:7 Then Moses calls JAHshua. In the eyes of all [2 million people] of Israel, [Moses] says to [Joshua], “Be strong, [alert,] and courageous. You're going with this populace to the land YHVH swore to their ancestors he would give them. Through your [leadership,] they come to inherit it.
| Moses Prophesies His Imminent Death | Deuteronomy 31:14 And YHVH says to Moses, “Look. Your [earthly] days approach [their end]. You must die. Call JAHshua. Present yourselves [before the elders] in the congregational tent, so I can give [JAHshua his] commission.” So Moses and JAHshua go. They present themselves in the congregational tent.
Deuteronomy 31:23  Then Moses gives Nun's son JAHshua a commission. [Moses] quotes [YHVH], “Be strong. [Stay] full of courage. You soon bring the children of Israel into the land I swore to [give] them. I forever [stay] with you.”Deuteronomy 34:9 JAHshua (the son of Nun {Eternity}) [shines,] full of the spirit of wisdom. (For Moses had laid his hands upon [JAHshua, to delegate holy spirit-power].) So the children of Israel listen to [JAHshua. For a while, they] do as YHVH commanded Moses. | YAH Tells Joshua To Lead Israel Into The Land | Joshua 1:1  After YHVH's servant Moses dies, YHVH speaks to Moses’ aide: JAHshua (son of Nun {Eternity}):
| Joshua Rallies Millions To Cross Enemy Lines | Joshua 1:10 JAHshua commands the overseers of [YAH's] people:
| Ranchers Agree To Obey Joshua & Help Israel | Joshua 1:12 To the [Cattle-Barons, (the] Reubenites, the Gadites, and [the eastern] half [of] the tribe of Manasseh), JAHshua says:
Or ‘Manasseh, which represents half of Joseph's descendants’.Joshua 1:16  The [Cattle-Barons] answer JAHshua, “We do everything you command us. Wherever you send us, we go. | Joshua Sends 2 Spies To Jericho's Whorehouse | Joshua 2:1 From [there in] Sheetim {Acacia-Groves}, Nun's son JAHshua sends two men to secretly spy [out the promised land]. [JAHshua] says, “Go inspect the land [and city of] Jericho {Moon-Spirit}.” So, 😇, the spies sneak [into Jericho]. They duck into the house of a prostitute named Rahab {Biggie}. The spies spend the night there [in the whorehouse].
Men of faith are not prudes. We can sleep in a whorehouse without sleeping with whores. And, according to Jesus, the whores are more likely than preachers to obey Christ! The apostle James (Christ's brother) praises this whore.Joshua 2:23 So, 😇, the two [Hebrew] spies sneak back [east toward Moab. They] hike down hills. [They swim] across [the Jordan river. They wash up on its east bank.] [They] run to (Nun's son) JAHshua. They tell [JAHshua] everything that happened to them: Joshua 2:24 The spies rave to JAHshua, “YHVH has truly delivered the whole [promised] land into our hands! All the inhabitants of the country faint [in terror at the thought] of us!” | Preparing To Cross Into The Promised Land | Joshua 3:1  JAHshua gets up early in the morning. He and all [2 million] people of Israel [pack up]. [They] move [their vast caravans west] from [the] Sheetim {Acacia-Forest} to [the] Jordan [river]. There they sleep, [tossing and turning, excitedly anticipating] crossing [into the Promised land].
Joshua 3:5 JAHshua shouts to the people, “Devote yourselves [to holiness]. For tomorrow YHVH comes to do [dangerous] wonders among you.” Joshua 3:6 JAHshua addresses the priests. [He shouts], “Lift the ark of the covenant. Lead [our 2 million] people across [the Jordan River]!” So, 😇, the priests lift the ark of the covenant. They trudge toward the river. [Amazed hordes of Israeli] people follow. Joshua 3:7  YHVH says, “JAHshua, today I begin spiraling you [high] in the sight of all Israel. Then they'll know that, as I stuck with Moses, so I'll stick with you.Joshua 3:9 So JAHshua [shouts] to the children of Israel, “Come here. Hear the words of YHVH your Elohim.” Joshua 3:10 JAHshua says, “Here's how you'll know the living Elohim is among you: without fail, He will drive out from before you the Canaanite {Mercenaries}, Hittite {Sons-Of-Terror}, Hivite {Villagers}, Perizzite {Plainsmen}, Girgashites {Wanderers}, Amorite {Mountaineers} and Jebusite {Threshers}. | YAH Commissions The River-Cross Monument | Joshua 4:1 YHVH speaks to JAHshua, saying, “[Take] the whole nation across the Jordan [River].
| Joshua Tells 12 Leaders To Build The Monument | Joshua 4:4 JAHshua summons the 12 men whom he'd gotten the people of Israel to make ready, (one man from each tribe).
Joshua 4:5  JAHshua says to these [12 leaders], “Cross over into the middle of [the] Jordan [River] in front of the ark of YHVH Elohim. [On the way across,] each of you men lift up a [big] stone upon his shoulder, [one stone] for each of the tribes of the children of Israel. Joshua 4:8 The sons of Israel obey JAHshua's command, 😇. They pick up 12 [huge] stones (the number of the tribes of the children of Israel) out of the middle of [the] Jordan [River], as YHVH commanded JAHshua. [Huffing, puffing, groaning, the men] carry the stones over to their campsite. [Then, with a sigh of relief, they] drop the stones.
This and the next verse flash-forward to the events of verse 20. In v.10, the normal timeline resumes.Joshua 4:9 JAHshua sets up [these] 12 stones ( [taken] from the place in the middle of [the] Jordan [river] where had stood the feet of the priests bearing the ‘ark of the covenant’). Those [boulders] lie there [on the West Bank] to this day, 😇. | 2M Israelis Cross A River-Flood On Dry Ground | Joshua 4:10 The priests carrying the ‘ark’ stand in the Jordan riverbed until the people complete all the tasks YHVH commanded JAHshua to assign to them. JAHshua does everything just as Moses appointed him to do, 😇. So the people cross swiftly and [safely].
Joshua 4:14  That day YHVH magnifies JAHshua in the sight of [the] whole [nation of] Israel, 😇. So all the days of [JAHshua's] life, they fear him, as they feared Moses. | The Priests Cross The Riverbed With The Ark | Joshua 4:15 YHVH speaks to JAHshua:
Joshua 4:17  So JAHshua commands the priests, “Hike up out of [the] Jordan [River].” | Joshua's First Address In The Promised Land | Joshua 4:20 In Gilgal {Wheel} JAHshua [finishes] erecting those 12 stones the [leaders] took from the Jordan [riverbed].
Joshua 4:21 [There JAHshua] addresses the children of Israel, saying, “Your future children come to ask their fathers, ‘What's the meaning of these stones?’ | Joshua Cuts Sinning Pagan Hordes From Israel | Joshua 5:2  Immediately YHVH says to JAHshua, “Make a sharp cutoff [between you and the pagans we've captured]. Again, [I] repeat: cut short [remove the unrepentant pagans from] the people of Israel.”
Joshua said, “We're cutting you pagans loose! All you promiscuous people need to go live somewhere else!” These words do NOT mean to cut a penis. Genital-cutting is crazy sick child-abusing perversion. The Mosaic Law forbids cutting skin. The word for circumcise ֹ(מל , Strongs #4135 muwl) actually means ‘cut short / curtail’. It does not mean ‘resect foreskins’. Israelis have habitually wrongly interpreted YHVH's instructions, and, against His will, copied barbaric pagan sexual mutilation practices.
Circumcision, far from being a uniquely Jewish custom, was a common practice in ancient Egypt. Circumcision is to this very day a common practice among many of the world's primitive peoples.
#6697 tsuwr = a cliff, sharp rock, boulder, refuge.
# 2719 chereb kheh'-reb from 2717; drought, or cutting instrumentJoshua 5:3 So JAHshua makes a hard [societal] break, 😇. At the ‘hill of the stripping’, he ‘cuts [the population] short’. [He forces the unrepentant, unconverted pagans to move away from] the people of Israel.
#6188 `arel = strip, elsewhere used to describe the horrible satanic practice of penile circumcision.Joshua 5:4  Here's why JAHshua “trims back” [the population of the Israelites, 😇]: All the people who came out of Egypt, all those belligerent mortals [YHVH] marked [for destruction], died in the wilderness on the way [to the promised land], after they left Egypt. Joshua 5:7 [Moses] raised up [a nation plagued with evil] children in place [of their evil dead parents]. [Moses neglected] to “excise” the riff-raff along the way [to the Promised Land]. So [JAHshua's] population teems [with rag-tag,] morally-loose [scalawags].
Uncircumcised means "loose" as in "morally loose". YAH wants you to get un-bundled from your fascist neighbors. YHVH never wanted anyone to cut their skin, certainly not their penile foreskin!Joshua 5:8 Finally [JAHshua and his men] finish “cutting back” [the morally-loose riff-raff among] the entire [Hebrew] population. Then the [Israelites] stay in their [tents] in the camp, until the [community] recovers [from the bitter emotional trauma of having had to send away their pagan friends and loved-ones who refused to live as Hebrews].
It wasn't their foreskins that needed healing; it was their hearts. It's always hard to leave behind people you care about. But holiness is a lonely road. The narrow way is difficult. Few people can walk it.
Heal/recover = 2421 chayah: revive, live, breathe.Joshua 5:9 Then YHVH says to JAHshua, “Today I've rolled the reproach of Egypt off of you.” So, 😇, to this day, the name of the place [of the moral-stripping] is called “Wheel.”
Gilgal= Wheel. | Joshua Meets The Captain Of The Angel Armies | Joshua 5:13  [Time passes, 😇.] JAHshua travels near [the city of] Jericho {Moon-Spirit}. He lifts up his eyes. He looks. Suddenly opposite him stands a [celestial] man—sword drawn in his hand! JAHshua walks up to the [angelic] man. [Joshua] asks him, “Are you [here to fight] for us [Hebrews,] or for our adversaries?”
Joshua 5:14 [The angelic ‘man’] replies,” I [work for] neither [you nor your enemies]. I've come to you as the captain of the [angelic] armies of YHVH.” So, 😇, JAHshua falls on his face to the earth. He worships [the angel], crying, “What does my Sovereign command his servant?” Joshua 5:15 The captain of YHVH's [angelic] host commands JAHshua, “Drop your shoe [s] from your feet. The place on which you stand is sacred.” So JAHshua [kicks off his shoes, 😇]. Joshua 6:2 Then YHVH says to JAHshua, “Watch: I've given Jericho {Moon-Spirit} and its king, and [its] mighty, valiant men, into your hand. | Jahshua Leads Nonviolent Spiritual War | Joshua 6:6  So JAHshua (the son of ‘Eternity’) calls the priest[s]. He says to them, “Carry the ark of the covenant up [near the city wall]. Have 7 priests carry 7 ram's horn-trumpets in front of the ark of YHVH.”
Joshua 6:7  Then [JAHshua] shouts to the people, “Move forward! Circle the city. Let the men equipped [with musical instruments] march in front the ark of YHVH.”
These men marching in front of the ark were not ‘armed’ with weapons, but with rams' horns and other musical instruments. See next verse.Joshua 6:8 JAHshua finishes speaking to the [Hebrew hordes. They cheer!] The 7 priests bearing the 7 rams’ horn-trumpets pass on in front of [the ark of] YHVH. The [priests] blast their horns. The ark of the covenant of YHVH follows them. Joshua 6:10 [The marchers obey] JAHshua's earlier command, “Don't shout. Make no noise with your voice. Don't [let] one word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I yell, ‘shout!’ Then you'll shout!” Joshua 6:12  Then, on the [2nd] morning [of the siege], JAHshua gets up early. Again the priests lift up the ark of YHVH. Joshua 6:16 Finally, the 7th round, when the priests blow the trumpets, JAHshua [yells] to the people, “Shout! YHVH has given you the city!Joshua 6:22  Except that JAHshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, “Go into the whorehouse. Bring out the Madam, and everyone she has [sequestered inside the brothel]. Fulfill your oath to her.” Joshua 6:25  Thus JAHshua saves Rahab {Biggie} the harlot's life, and [the lives of] her father's household, and everyone she [hid]. So Rahab dwells in Israel to the day [of this writing], because she hid the messengers whom JAHshua sent to spy out Jericho {Moon-Spirit}. Joshua 6:26  Immediately JAHshua 7-times [warns] the [Israelites and the banned people of Jericho]: “Cursed before YHVH is the man who rises up and re-builds this [Satanic] city [of] Jericho {Moon-Spirit}. He will lay its foundation [at the cost] of his firstborn. He'll set up its gates [with the loss] of his youngest son.”
1 Ki 16:34 tells of the death of Hiel of Bethel, one of the fools who tried to rebuild Jericho. Hiel met the fate here foretold by Joshua.Joshua 6:27 So YHVH stays with JAHshua. [YAH's] fame spreads throughout the whole country.
Or "Joshua's fame..." | Joshua Sends Spies To Ai | Joshua 7:2  Meanwhile, JAHshua sends [spies] from Jericho {Moon-Spirit} to Ai {Ruin-Heap} (beside Beth-Aven {House-Of-Vanity}, on the east side of Beth-El {House-Of-El}). JAHshua instructs the men. [He] says, “[Ride] up. View [Ai's] country.” So the [spies ride] up. They look over Ai {Ruin-Heap}.
Joshua 7:3  The spies [rush] back to JAHshua. They say to him, “Don't send up all [our] people. Just let 2 or 3 thousand [praise-warriors] travel up to cast out [the demon spawn of] Ai {Ruin-Heap}. Don't make all the people labor there; for Ai has few [inhabitants].”
Cast out = #5221 nakah. | YAH Says: If You Sin, You Lose His Protection | Joshua 7:6  So JAHshua rips his clothes. He falls to the earth on his face before the ark of YHVH. The elders of Israel [flank JAHshua]. [They all] throw dust on their heads. [They mourn.] Finally, 😇, the sun sets.
Joshua 7:7  JAHshua cries, “Ay, Adonai YHVH! Why did you bring this massive population across [the] Jordan [river]? To deliver us into the hand [s] of the Amorite {Mountaineers}? To destroy us? I wish to Elohim we'd been content, that [we'd] stayed living on the far side of [the] Jordan [river]!
Ay, or ahaw!Joshua 7:10  So, 😇, YHVH says to JAHshua, “Get up, you! Why are you lying like that, [squishing] your face [into the dirt]?
YAH is hilarious! | The Occult-Hoarder Confesses To Joshua | Joshua 7:16  So, 😇, JAHshua gets up early in the morning. He summons Israel by their tribal [heads]. Then [YHVH supernaturally signals that the satanic idol(s) are held by someone in] the tribe of Judah {Celebrated}.
Joshua 7:17  [JAHshua] summons the [heads of the] families of Judah {Celebrated}. [The sacred flame stone] flags the family of the Zarhite {Shiners}. [So JAHshua] summons the Shiner family-heads man by man. [YHVH flags] Zabdi {Giver}.Joshua 7:18 So [JAHshua] summons [Zabdi's] household man by man. Then [YHVH flags] Achan {Trouble-Maker}, the son of Carmi {Gardener}, the son of Zabdi {Giver}, the son of Zerah {Ray}, from the tribe of Judah {Celebrated}.Joshua 7:19 So JAHshua says to Achan {Trouble-Maker}, “My son, please, give glory to YHVH Elohim of Israel. Make [your] confession to him. Tell me now what you've done. Don't hide the [facts] from me.” Joshua 7:20 Achan {Trouble-Maker} [trembles like a leaf in the wind. He wets his pants, 😇!] He [whispers his] confession to JAHshua: “Yes, I sinned against YHVH Elohim of Israel. Here's exactly what I did: Joshua 7:22  So, 😇, JAHshua sends messengers. They run to the [thief's] tent. They [run in. They dig.] They expose the [occultist's gold] treasure, with the silver under it. Joshua 7:23 So [the messengers] haul the [treasure] out of the middle of the tent, 😇. They bring it all to JAHshua. The people of Israel [pack around]. The [messengers] spread out the [occult treasure] before YHVH's [altar].
Or "before YHVH's paranormal manifestation." | The Israelites Kill & Burn The Occult Hoarder | Joshua 7:24 Then JAHshua, [leading] the whole [nation] of Israel, takes (Zerah's son) Achan [the occult Trouble-Maker,] with [his] silver, and the [occult] robe, and the wedge of gold, plus [Achan's] sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and everything [else Achan] owns. [JAHshua] leads them [weeping and crying] to the valley of Achor {Trouble}.
Joshua 7:25  There JAHshua says, “Why have you brought trouble on us?” [Achan growls, furious. But he's too afraid of Joshua to answer. Joshua continues,] “Today YHVH troubles you.” Then [the whole crowd, representing] all [2 million people of] Israel, stone Achan {Trouble-Maker} with rocks. They burn [him] with fire. As [he burns], the [Israelis] keep throwing more stones [at his collapsing body].
Note: YHVH did not command this stoning; he predicted it. (See v.15.) YAH said to get rid of the cursed stuff, not to kill the fool who stole them. But YAH [probably] wasn't upset when the trouble-maker died. | JAHshua Takes Ai-City From The Demon-Spawn | Joshua 8:1 Then YHVH says to JAHshua, “Never fear! Never [fall into] despair. Pack up. Travel to Ai. Take all the [praise] warriors with you. Watch! I've given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
Joshua 8:3 So, 😇, JAHshua rises with all [of Israel's praise] warriors to go up against Ai {Ruin-Heap}. JAHshua chooses 30 thousand mighty men of [spiritual] valor. He sends them out [under cover of] night. Joshua 8:4 [JAHshua] instructs the [praise-warriors]. He says, “Look: you lay [low. Prepare] to [ambush] the city. [Hide] right behind the city: don't go very far from it. Everybody stay ready. Joshua 8:9 So JAHshua sends out the [mighty men], 😇. They rush [up the hills]. They lie in ambush, staying between Beth-El {House-Of-El} and Ai {Ruin-Heap}, on the west side of Ai. Meanwhile, JAHshua spends that night among the [rest of the Israelite] people. Joshua 8:10 Then, 😇, early in the morning, JAHshua rises up. He musters his people. He [rides] up with the elders of Israel, leading the people to Ai {Ruin-Heap}. Joshua 8:11 All the people (the [praise] warriors with [JAHshua]) sneak up, 😇. They approach the front of the city. They pitch [camp] on the north side of Ai {Ruin-Heap}, facing the valley that stands between themselves and [the fortress]. Joshua 8:12 [Then JAHshua] takes about 5000 men. He sets them lying in ambush between Beth-El {House-Of-El} and Ai {Ruin-Heap}, on the west side of [Ai] city. Joshua 8:13 After deploying the whole host [of praise-warriors] on the north of the city, and the ambush-party on the west of the city, JAHshua sneaks that night into the middle of the valley, 😇. Joshua 8:15 Then JAHshua and all [the] Israelis act as if they're being beaten by [Ai's soldiers]. They flee on the road to the wilderness. Joshua 8:16 All the [demon-spawn] in Ai {Ruin-Heap} scream as one, “Chase the Israelis!” So [Ai's soldiers] chase JAHshua. [This ruse] draws [Ai's warriors] further [and further] from their [evil] city. Joshua 8:18 Then YHVH says to JAHshua, “Stretch out the spear in your hand toward Ai {Ruin-Heap}. Then I'll give the [city] into your hand.” So JAHshua stretches out the spear in his hand toward the city, 😇. Joshua 8:19 As soon as JAHshua stretches out his hand, the [Israeli] ambush-party leap up, 😇. They run from their [hiding] place into the city. They capture it. They rush to set [its buildings] on fire. Joshua 8:21 [Meanwhile,] JAHshua and all [the] Israelites see their ambush [party] taking the fortress. They [see] the smoke rising from the city. So the [Israelis rush] back toward [the burning ruins]. They banish the men of Ai.
# 5221 nakah = strike or cast out, not necessarily kill. This is yet another holiness event, cleaning out the criminals, not a genocide.Joshua 8:23  But the [Israelites] take the [evil] king of Ai alive. They bring him to JAHshua. Joshua 8:24 [Ai's warriors] lurk in the field. [Seeing their king taken, they flee] into the wilderness. [JAHshua] stops the [Israelites] from slaying Ai's men. [JAHshua] casts all [the men of Ai] out [of the fields and forests] by the mouth-sword [of YAH's word]. Then all the Israelites return to Ai {Ruin-Heap}. There the [Israelites] cast out [Ai's stragglers by singing, slinging] the [mystical] mouth-sword [of scripture-song].
Difficult, pivotal verse. If translated wrong, this event appears to be a brutal genocide, though perhaps of demon-spawned nephilim [giants]. If translated properly, this is revealed to be a banishment using supernatural power. The words normally translated ‘edge of the sword’ connote ‘mouth-sword’, as in the sword of the spirit, (YAH's Word) that comes out of the Messiah's mouth.Joshua 8:26 JAHshua holds out his hand, spear-outstretched, until he utterly bans all the evil-lurkers of Ai {Ruin-Heap}.
banned = #2763 charam.Joshua 8:27  Obeying the decree YHVH commanded JAHshua, [the] Israelis take as their [reward] only the cattle and the wealth of [Ai] city. Joshua 8:28 So JAHshua burns Ai. [He] permanently turns it [into] a heap. So, 😇, to this day, [Ai] remains a ruin. Joshua 8:29  [JAHshua] crucifies the [satanic] king of Ai {Ruin-Heap} on a tree until sunset, 😇. [Then,] as soon as the sun goes down, JAHshua commands [men] to take [the king's] carcass down from the tree. [They] cast [his royal highness to the ground] outside the city-gate. Then [they] pile on [his corpse] the great heap of stones that remains [there] to this day.
YHVH did not necessarily command this execution. See v.2. However, YAH was apparently not upset about it, probably because Ai was a city of demon-spawned child-murderers. Under Hebrew Law, anyone can kill the perpetrator of a death-penalty crime. | Joshua Builds An Altar Of Uncut Stones | Joshua 8:30 Then, 😇, to [honor] YHVH Elohim of Israel, JAHshua builds an altar on [barren] mount Ebal {Baldy}.
Joshua 8:32  So there, 😇, in the presence of the nation of Israel, [JAHshua] writes on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, [exactly as Moses] wrote it. Joshua 8:34 Then (as YHVH's servant Moses had earlier commanded, to bless the people of Israel) [JAHshua] heralds all the words of the Law, 😇, including [both] blessings and cursings, verbatim. He quotes every word written in the [Mosaic] law-scroll [s]. Joshua 8:35 [JAHshua] faces the whole congregation of Israel, including the women, and the little ones, and the foreigners living among them, 😇. JAHshua shout-sings every last word of all that Moses commanded. Joshua 9:2 Those kings gather together as one to fight with JAHshua and with Israel. Joshua 9:3 The inhabitants of Gibeon {Flower-Hills} also hear how JAHshua [banished the demon-spawn of] Jericho {Moon-Spirit} and Ai {Ruin-Heap}.Joshua 9:6  The spies ride to JAHshua's camp at Gilgal {Wheel}. They lie to JAHshua, and to the men of Israel, “We've come from a far country. So make a [peace] agreement with us.” Joshua 9:8 The spies answer JAHshua, “We're your servants.” JAHshua asks, “Who are you? Where do you come from?”Joshua 9:9  The spies lie to JAHshua, “We (your servants) have journeyed from a very far country. The Name [reputation] of YHVH your Elohim drew us. We heard of YAH's fame, and every [miracle] He did in Egypt. Joshua 9:15  So JAHshua makes peace with the [spies]. He [foolishly] obligates himself to a treaty with their [nation]. [Joshua promises to never participate in any action which YHVH might take to deprive the Gibeonites of] life. Israel's leaders [stupidly] ratify that covenant by sworn oath! Joshua 9:22 JAHshua calls the [Gibeonite] spies. He asks them, “Why did you lie to us? You said, ‘We [come] from very far [away] from you.’ In fact, you live close to us! Joshua 9:24 The [spies] answer JAHshua, “We (your servants) lied because [eyewitnesses] clearly warned us that YHVH your Elohim commanded His servant Moses to give you the whole earth, and to overthrow all the inhabitants of the earth before you. So we were scared to death because of you! Joshua 9:27  That day JAHshua decrees, “Wherever [YHVH] chooses to put his altar, the Gibeonites will [serve] as woodcutters and water carriers for the [Israeli] assembly.” That relationship continues as of the day [of this writing], 😇. | 5 Western Tyrants Attack JAHshua | Joshua 10:1 [Time passes, 😇.] Adoni-Zedek {Lord-Of-Justice}, king of [the city of Jebus, soon to be renamed] Jerusalem, hears how JAHshua took Ai {Ruin-Heap}, then [crucified] her king, and utterly banned its [people], as [JAHshua banished the people of] Jericho {Moon-Spirit} and [dispatched with] her [evil] king. [And Adoni-Zedek learns] that the inhabitants of Gibeon {Flower-Hills} have made peace with Israel, and are [living as servants] with the [Israelis].
Banned = #2763 charam. The bible doesn't explicitly state that Joshua killed Jericho's king.Joshua 10:4 [Adoni-Zedek's envoys] say, “ [March your armies] up to [Jerusalem] to help me. Together we can strike [the city of] Gibeon {Flower-Hills}, because they made peace with JAHshua and [his dreaded nation] of Israel.” Joshua 10:6 So, 😇, the men of Gibeon {Flower-Hills} send [swift messengers on horseback] to JAHshua, at [his] camp at Gilgal {Wheel}. [The messengers] beg, “Flex your power! Help your servants! Hurry! [Ride] up to save us. Help us! All the kings of the Amorites, those [inbred] mountain-lurkers, have amassed together to [murder] us!” Joshua 10:7 So JAHshua ascends from Gilgal {Wheel}, followed by all [Israel's praise] warriors, and all [Israel's] masterful [men & women] of valor. Joshua 10:8 Then YHVH says to JAHshua, “Never fear the [pagans]. I've delivered them into your hand. Not one man of them [will] stand before you.”Joshua 10:9 So JAHshua rushes [his praise-warriors] toward [the 5 attacking armies. The Israelis] travel uphill from Gilgal {Wheel} all night.
Rush toward your attackers. YHVH will save you. | The Sun Stands Still | Joshua 10:12 Then, 😇, on the day YHVH thrusts [out] the Amorite {Mountaineers} before the children of Israel, JAHshua speaks to YHVH. As the Israeli [hordes] look on, [JAHshua looks to the sky. He shouts], “Sun, you stand still over Gibeon {Flower-Hills}. And Moon, you [stay still] over the valley of Ajalon {Deer-Field}!”
Joshua 10:14 😇, there has never been a day [of solar immobility] like that before or since. [At JAHshua's request,] YHVH fought for Israel [by manipulating planetary orbits]! YHVH listened to the voice of a man!Joshua 10:15 So, 😇, JAHshua returns, [dancing and singing, leading] the whole [nation] of Israel, to the camp at Gilgal {Wheel}.Joshua 10:17  [Meanwhile, an explorer runs up to Gilgal. The explorer] tells JAHshua, “ [We] found the five [banished criminal] kings hiding in a cave at Makkedah {Herd-Mark}!” Joshua 10:18  So JAHshua says, “Roll great stones up over the mouth of the cave. Then set men flanking it to guard the [prisoners].Joshua 10:20  JAHshua and the ‘sons of Israel’ finish casting out the pagans with a very long [loud] final blow [of the praise trumpets, 😇]. The [few] remaining [pagans run and hide] in fortified cities.
The warmongering commercial translations abound with errors: #5221 nakah = cast out, not slay. #8552 tamam = complete, not consume. #4347 makkah = blow, not slaughter. Again, paid commercial translators disguise a holiness statute as a genocidal precedent for the "Judeo-Christian" warmongers.Joshua 10:21  All the [Israelites] return in peace to JAHshua's camp at Makkedah {Herd-Mark}. No one moves his tongue against any of the people of Israel, 😇. Joshua 10:22  Then JAHshua says, “Open the mouth of the cave. Bring those five kings out of the cave to [face] me.” Joshua 10:23 So [the Israeli men open] the cave. They haul out to [JAHshua] those five [dirty, sweating, shaking, pants-peeing pervert] kings: the king of Jerusalem {City-Of-Peace}, the king of Hebron {Society}, the king of Jarmuth {Heights}, the king of Lachish {Harvest}, and the king of Eglon {Calf-Jump}.Joshua 10:24 As the [men] haul out the [5] kings to JAHshua, JAHshua calls for all the men of Israel. He says to the lead [praise] warriors who went with him, “Come here. Put your feet on the necks of these tyrants.” So [the leading] men approach. They set their feet on the necks of the [pervert kings]. Joshua 10:25 Then JAHshua says to [Israel's leaders], “You must never fear. Never get discouraged. Be strong! Be resolute! YHVH will [assassinate] all your enemies who fight you.” Joshua 10:26 Then JAHshua strikes the [5 murderous] kings. He kills them, 😇. He crucifies them on 5 trees. He leaves their [bleeding carcasses] hanging up on the trees until evening.
YHVH did not order this killing.
A way to visualize this: Joshua shouts the name of Yahweh. A supernatural force slams the tyrants up onto stakes. Some angelic force nails the kings to the stakes.Joshua 10:27  Then, 😇, at sundown, JAHshua commands big men to take the [5 dead kings] down off the trees. [The men] throw the [kings' carcasses] into the cave where the [Israelis had found the kings] hiding. In the cave's mouth, [the big men] lay great stones which remain to this very day. | Joshua Evicts Many Kingdoms From The Land | Joshua 10:28 That [same] day JAHshua captures [the fortress of] Makkedah {Herd-Mark}. [JAHshua] casts out [its people] with the [supernatural] mouth-sword [of YAH's Word]. He irrevocably banishes [Makeddah's] king and everyone in [Makeddah's] kingdom. [JAHshua] lets no [unrepentant pagan] stay [in the promised land. JAHshua eliminates] the king of Makkedah as [JAHshua banished] the king of Jericho {Moon-Spirit}.
Joshua 10:29 Then JAHshua [marches on] from Makkedah {Herd-Mark}. [He leads] the whole [nation] of Israel to [the fortress of] Libnah {White-Tree}. [Israel] overcomes [it by praise-power, 😇]. Joshua 10:30 YHVH delivers [Libnah] and its [demonic] king into the hand of Israel. [YAH] casts out everyone in [Libnah] with the mouth-sword [of the spirit]. [YAH] lets zero [occultists] stay in [the city]. JAHshua [eliminates Libnah's] king as he [did] the king of Jericho {Moon-Spirit}.
#5221 Nakah = casts out. How exactly Joshua got rid of Jericho's king is a matter of debate.Joshua 10:31 Then JAHshua [races] from Libnah {White-Tree}. [He leads] the whole [nation] of Israel [behind] him, 😇. They camp opposite [the fortress of] Lachish {Harvest}. [They pray all night for YHVH] to overcome it. Joshua 10:33 Then Horam {High-Tower} king of Gezer {Cut-Land} [marches his armies] up to help [the army of] Lachish {Harvest} [massacre the Israelites]. So JAHshua banishes [Horam] and his people. [JAHshua] leaves not one [of them] remaining [in the Promised Land].Joshua 10:34 Then, from Lachish {Harvest}, JAHshua leads [the whole nation of] Israel. They rush to Eglon {Calf-Jump}. They encamp opposite [the fortress]. They overcome it [through praise-power].Joshua 10:35 The [Israelites] capture [Eglon fortress] the same day. Then, with the [supernatural] mouth-sword [of YAH's Word], [JAHshua] casts everybody out of [Eglon]. [JAHshua] utterly banishes [the satanists from the Promised Land], just like he did at [the fortress of] Lachish {Harvest}.
Charam = seclude (banish).Joshua 10:36 Then JAHshua [races] up from Eglon {Calf-Jump}. [He leads] the whole [nation] of Israel to [the fortress of] Hebron {Society}. [Through praise-power,] the Israelites overcome [Hebron].Joshua 10:37 [JAHshua] captures [the fortress of Hebron]. With the [supernatural] mouth-sword [of YAH's Word, JAHshua] casts everybody from [Hebron], including its king, and all the populations under [the king's demonic hegemony, 😇]. Just as [JAHshua] banished the [perverts] of Eglon {Calf-Jump}, he leaves none [of Hebron's child-molesting pagans] in the [Promised Land].
#2763 charam = seclude, ban. The so-called ‘genocide’ scriptures are actually holiness scriptures. Time and time again, we have been misled by warmongering religionists.Joshua 10:38 Then JAHshua returns, 😇. [He leads] the whole [nation] of Israel to [the fortress of] Debir {Oracle}. [Israel] overcomes [Debir through praise power].Joshua 10:39 So [Israel] captures Debir {Oracle}, and its king, and all its cities. The [Israelites] cast the [child-molesters] out by the [supernatural] mouth-sword [of YAH's Word]. They utterly ban everybody in [Debir]. [JAHshua] leaves no [pagans of Debir] remaining [in the Promised Land]. Just as he cleaned out Hebron {Society}, he exiles [the occultists of] Debir and its king, like he [banished the occultists of] Libnah {White-Tree}, and her [child-sacrificing] king.
#2763 charam = separate, seclude, ban. NOT destroy. YHVH destroyed those who needed to be destroyed.Joshua 10:40 So, 😇, JAHshua casts out all the [occultists], including their kings, from the hill-country, the Negev {Southland}, the Shefelah {Western-Foothills}, and from [Judea's] spring-filled [Mountain slopes]. [JAHshua] leaves not one [unrepentant pagan] remaining [in the Promised Land]. He utterly exiles everyone [YHVH leaves] breathing, as YHVH Elohim of Israel commanded.
#2763 charam = ban, seclude, separate, exile. NOT Destroy!
#5221 nakah = strike or CAST OUT.
Hebrews praise. Heavenly powers destroy most of the pagans. The few survivors rush to escape.
This is holiness, not genocide!Joshua 10:41 Then JAHshua casts out the [pagans] from Kadesh-Barnea {Wilderness-Of-Wandering} all the way to Gaza {Strength}, including the whole country of Goshen {Cultivated}, out to Gibeon {Flower-Hills}.Joshua 10:42 In one campaign, JAHshua exiles all those kingdoms, 😇. [So Israel gains] their land. [The Israelites praise] YHVH, Israel's Elohim. [YHVH] fights for Israel. [So the Israelites themselves don't have to fight.]Joshua 10:43 Finally, 😇, JAHshua returns. [He leads] the whole [nation] of Israel [in triumph back] to their camp at Gilgal {Wheel}. | A Mighty Conspiracy Of Evil Armies Attacks! | Joshua 11:1 Soon Jabin {Intelligent} (king of Hazor {Hamlet}) hears [of JAHshua's unstoppable campaign]. So [Jabin] sends [his envoys] to Jobab {Howler} (king of Madon {Heights}), and to the king of Shimron {Guardian}, and to the king of Achshaph {Fascination}.
Not so intelligent after all.Joshua 11:6 [Meanwhile, 😇,] YHVH says, “JAHshua, don't be afraid of these [millions of pagan attack troops]. Tomorrow about this time I deliver them up all pierced before Israel. You snatch up their horses. You burn their chariots with fire.”
#6131 `aqar = pluck up, often translated ‘hamstring’. YHVH never wants his holy people to damage innocent animals. | YHVH Defeats Millions Of Pagan Warriors | Joshua 11:7 So JAHshua advances with his [praise] warriors. They near the [spring] waters of Merom {Heights}. [JAHshua] suddenly drops [a praise attack] upon the [pagans]!
Joshua 11:9 JAHshua does to the [pagans' abandoned war-machines] as YHVH said he [would]. He snatches up their horses. He burns their chariots with fire. Joshua 11:10 Then JAHshua turns back [west], 😇. He takes Hazor {Hamlet}. He casts out their king with the sword, because [Hamlet] had been the head [quarters] of all those [evil attacker] kingdoms. Joshua 11:11 With the [supernatural] mouth-sword [of YAH's Word], the [Israelites] cast everybody out of [Hamlet]. [Israel] utterly SECLUDES the [pagans]. [Israel] leaves not a single [evil inhabitant] breathing [in the promised Land]. Then [JAHshua] burns Hazor {Hamlet} with fire.
#2763 charam = seclude, NOT destroy.Joshua 11:12 JAHshua takes all those royal cities with their [evil] kings. He evicts them using the [supernatural] mouth-sword [of YAH's Word]. He utterly separates them [from Israel], as YHVH's servant (Moses) commanded.Joshua 11:13 But Israel burns none of the cities standing on ruins [of previous cities], except Hazor {Hamlet}, which JAHshua torches.Joshua 11:15 Whatever YHVH commanded his servant Moses, Moses commanded JAHshua, 😇. So JAHshua obeys. He leaves nothing undone of every [word] YHVH ordered Moses.
But Joshua does some extra stuff YHVH didn't command.Joshua 11:16 So, 😇, JAHshua seizes all the [promised] land, [including] the hill-country, and all the Negev {Southland}, and all the land of Goshen {Cultivated}, and the [Jordan] valley, and the Aravah {Plain}, and the mountain of Israel [Sinai], and the Shefelah {Palestine's-Coastal-Slope}.Joshua 11:17  All the way from mount Halak {Bare} which ascends to Seir {Rough}, to Baal-Gad {Lord-Of-Fortune} in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon {Steep} — [JAHshua] takes all the [demon-mutant] kings. He evicts them, and/or kills them.Joshua 11:18 JAHshua [praise] battles against those [satanic] kings for a long time, 😇. | Joshua Expels The Demon-Spawn Anakim | Joshua 11:21 Immediately JAHshua [marches] on, 😇. He cuts off the [demon-spawn] Anakim {Sons-Of-The-Strangler} from the [following areas]: the hill [country], Hebron {Society}, Debir {Oracle}, Anab {Fruit}, all the mountains of Judah {Celebrated}, and all the mountains of [north] Israel. JAHshua banishes all the [Anakim]. [Then he condemns] their cities.
Joshua 11:22 [JAHshua allows] none of the [demon-spawn] Anakim {Stranglers} [to] stay [to ravage] the land of the people of Israel. [But the Anakim] still lurk in Gaza {Strength}, in Gath {Wine-Press}, and in Ashdod {Ravager-City}.Joshua 11:23 So JAHshua takes the whole land, 😇. He accomplishes everything YHVH predicted to Moses. Then JAHshua gives [that land] as an inheritance to Israel to divvy up [by families], one region per tribe. Finally the land rests from war. | List Of Lands Seized West of The Jordan River | Joshua 12:7 The following is a list of the names of the worldly kings whom JAHshua and the sons of Israel cast out on this (West) side of the Jordan [river], from Baal-Gad {Lord-Of-Fortune} in the valley of Lebanon {White-Peaks}, [all the] way to mount Halak {Bare}, which ascends to Seir {Rough}, 😇. JAHshua gives [the following lands] to the tribes of Israel to own, one region per family.
Joshua 12:9 [JAHshua vanquishes]: the king of Jericho {Moon-Spirit}; the king of Ai {Ruin-Heap}, situated beside Beth-El {House-Of-El}; | YAH Promises To Clear Pagans From The Land | Joshua 13:1  [Decades pass, 😇.] JAHshua grows old, advanced in years. So YHVH says to him, “You're aging, tested by time. Still [thousands of square miles of] land remain [for Israel] to possess.
| Joshua Confirms East Manasseh's Cattle-Lands | Joshua 13:29 [JAHshua then confirms] Moses’ grant of land-inheritance to the various families of the half-tribe of Manasseh. The [Eastern-settling] descendants of Manasseh own [the following land]:
| Preamble To Parceling Out The Western Lands | Joshua 14:1 [High] priest ELeazar {El's-Aid}, and JAHshua (the son of ‘Eternity’), and the heads of the fathers of the [9.5 western] tribes of the children of Israel, distribute the following regions as inheritances to people of Israel in the land of Canaan {LowLand}.
Joshua 14:5 [In JAHshua's time,] the sons of Israel do everything just like YHVH commanded Moses, 😇. So they [correctly] apportion the land, [without fighting]. | Joshua Allots Land To Caleb, The Brave Spy | Joshua 14:6 Then the [leaders of the tribe] of Judah {Celebrated} approach JAHshua at Gilgal {Wheel}. Caleb {Battle-Cry} the son of Jephunneh {Ready} the Kenezite {Hunter} says to [Joshua], “Remember [how back] in Kadesh-Barnea {Wilderness-Of-Wandering}, YHVH issued a decree to Moses (the man of Elohim) concerning me and you:
Joshua 14:13 So JAHshua blesses [Ready's] son Caleb {Battle-Cry}. [JAHshua] gives [Caleb] Hebron {Society} as his land-inheritance.
Caleb is not from the tribe of Judah. But since his land falls inside Judah's region, his descendants are classed as Jews. Caleb is a prototype of Ruth (a converted Moabitess) and of all true Christians, who engraft into Israel. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
YHVH says to Moses, “Write this in a record book. And tell the ears of
