I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 3

 1 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) rose early in the morning and left from The Acacias (Shittim), and came to The Descender (Jordan), he and all the children of God (‘Elohiym) Prevails (Israel), and lodged there before they passed over. 

2 After three days, the officers went through the host;

3 They commanded the people, saying: When you see the ark of the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), and the priests the Children of Joined To (Levites) bearing it, then you shall leave your place, and go after it.

4 Leave a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: do not come near it, but follow it, that you may know the way by which you must go: for you have not passed this way before.

5 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to the people: Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will do wonders among you.

6 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) spoke to the priests, saying: Take up the ark of the covenant and pass over before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

7 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to I AM is Salvation (Joshua), This day will I begin to magnify you in the sight of all God (‘Elohiym) Prevails (Israel), that they may know that, as I was with Drawn (Moses), so I will be with you.

8 Command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying: When you have come to the brink of the water of The Descender (Jordan), stand still in The Descender (Jordan).

9 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to the children of God (‘Elohiym) Prevails (Israel), Come and hear the words of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym). 

10 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said: Hereby you shall know that the living God (‘Elohiym) is among you and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Humbled Ones (Canaanites), and the Terrors (Hittite), and the Villagers  (Hivites), and Those Belonging to a Village (Perizzites), and the Dwelling of Clayey Soil (Girgashites), and The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusites).

11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) of all the earth passes over before you into The Descender (Jordan).

12 Now, therefore, take twelve men out of the tribes of God (‘Elohiym) Prevails (Israel), out of 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 Lord, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of The Descender (Jordan), that the waters of The Descender (Jordan) shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in a heap.

14 So it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over The Descender (Jordan), and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

15 And as they that bore the ark came to The Descender (Jordan), and the feet of the priests that bare the ark dipped in the brim of the water, (for The Descender (Jordan) overflows its banks all the time of harvest,)

16 That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up on a heap very far from the city Ruddy Man (Adam), that is beside Their Distress (Zaretan): and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Its Moon (Jericho).

17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) stood firm on dry ground in the middle of The Descender (Jordan), and all the God (‘Elohiym) Prevails (Israel) passed over on dry ground until all the people had passed over The Descender (Jordan).

I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 2

 1 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun) sent out from The Acacias (Shittim) two men to spy secretly, saying: Go view the land, in and around Its Moon (Jericho). So, they went into a harlot's house, named Wide (Rahab), and lodged there.

2 The king of Its Moon (Jericho) was told: Men of the children of God Prevails (Israel) have come tonight to search out the country.

3 So the king of Its Moon (Jericho) sent to Wide (Rahab), saying: Bring forth the men that have come to you, who entered your house: for they have come to search out all the country.

4 But the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said this: Men came to me, but I do not know where they are:

5 About the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, the men went out: where the men went, I don’t know: pursue after them quickly; you will overtake them. 

6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.

7 So the men pursued after them the way to The Descender (Jordan) to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued after them went out, they shut the gate.

8 Before they were laid down, she came up to them on the roof;

9 She said to the men: I know that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has given you the land and that your terror is fallen on us. All the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 

10 We have heard how I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Double Straights (Egypt); and what you did to the two kings of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorite), that were on the other side The Descender (Jordan), Warrior (Sihon) and Long-Necked (Og), whom you utterly destroyed.

11 As soon as we had heard these things, our hearts melted, neither was there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God, he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.

12 Now, therefore, I pray you, swear to me by I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), since I have showed you kindness, that you will also show kindness to my father's house, and give me a true token:

13 That you will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

14 The men answered her: Our life for yours if you keep quiet about our business. When I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has given us the land, we will deal kindly and truly with you.

15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was on the town wall, and she dwelt on the wall.

16 She said to them: Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days until the pursuers return: and afterward you may go your way.

17 The men said to her: We will be blameless of this your oath which you have made us swear.

18 When we come into the land, bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you let us down by. Bring your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father's household, home to you.

19 Whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his head, and we will be guiltless: and whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is laid on him.

20 If you speak about our business, then we will not be accountable to the oath which you have made us swear.

21 She agreed: According to your words, so be it. Then she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window 

22 So they went, and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but did not find them.

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

24 And they said to Joshua, Truly I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has delivered into our hands all the land; for all the inhabitants of the country faint because of us.

I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 1

 1 Now after the death of Drawn (Moses) the servant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) it came to pass, that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to I AM is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun), Drawn (Moses)' minister, saying:

2 Drawn (Moses) My servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over The Descender (Jordan), you, and all these people, to the land which I have given to them, the children of God Prevails (Israel).

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

4 From the wilderness over to Whiteness (Lebanon) to the great river, the river Fruitfulness (Euphrates), all the land of the Terrors (Hittite), and to the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

5 There will not be any man who can stand before you all the days of your life: as I was with Drawn (Moses), so I will be with you: I will not fail you, nor forsake you.

6 Be strong and of good courage: for you shall divide this land among the people - the inheritance which I swore to their fathers to give them 

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Drawn (Moses) My servant commanded you: Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be dismayed: for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) is with you wherever you go.

10 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) commanded the officers of the people, saying:

11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying: Prepare for yourselves victuals; for within three days you shall pass over The Descender (Jordan), to go in to possess the land, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) gives you to possess it.

12 To the Behold a Son’s (Reuben), and to the Troops (Gad), and to the half-tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh), I AM is Salvation (Joshua) spoke, saying:

13 Remember the word which Drawn (Moses) the servant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded you, saying, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) has given you rest and has given you this land. 

14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Drawn (Moses) gave you on this side The Descender (Jordan); but you shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valor, and help them;

15 Until I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has given your brethren rest, as He has given you, and they also have possessed the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) gives them: then you shall return to the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Drawn (Moses) I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah) servant gave you on this side The Descender (Jordan) toward the sun rising.

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

17 As we listened to Drawn (Moses) in all things, so will we listen to you: I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) be with you, as He was with Drawn (Moses).

18 Whosoever rebels against your commandment, and will not listen to your words in all that you command, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of good courage.

These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 34

 1 Then Drawn (Moses) went up from the plains of Of His Father (Moab) to Mount Prophet (Nebo), to the top of Cleft (Pisgah), that is over against Its Moon (Jericho). From there, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah showed him all the land of Rocky Region (Gilead), to Judge (Dan),

2 All Wrestling (Naphtali), the land of Double Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), Causing to Forget (Manasseh), all the land of Praised (Judah), to the utmost sea,

3 Along with the south, and the plain of the valley of Its Moon (Jericho), the city of palm trees, to Insignificance (Zoar).

4 There, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to him: This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go there.

5 So Drawn (Moses) the servant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) died there in the land of Of His Father (Moab), according to the word of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

6 He buried him in a valley in the land of Of His Father (Moab), over against House of Cleft (Bethpeor): but no man knows where his sepulcher is to this day.

7 Drawn (Moses) was a hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

8 Then the children of God Prevails (Israel) wept for Drawn (Moses) in the plains of Of His Father (Moab) thirty days: then the days of weeping and mourning for Drawn (Moses) were ended.

9 Jehovah is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Posterity (Nun) was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Drawn (Moses) had laid his hands upon him: and the children of God Prevails (Israel) listened to him, and did as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn (Moses).

10 There has not been a prophet since then in God Prevails (Israel) like to Drawn (Moses), whom I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) knew face to face,

11 In all the signs and the wonders, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) sent him to do in the land of Double Straights (Egypt) to Great House (Pharaoh), and to all His servants, and to all His land,

12 In all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Drawn (Moses) showed in the sight of all God Prevails (Israel).
