Joshua 5:1New Messianic Version BibleAnd it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emori [Highlanders], which [were] on the side of Yarden [Descender] westward, and all the kings of the Kena’ani [Merchant], which [were] by the sea, heard that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had dried up the waters of Yarden [Descender] from before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them anymore, because of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. See the chapter |
And it shall be, when they say unto youi, For what reason sigh youi? that youi shall answer, For the tidings; because it comes: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak [as] water: behold, it comes, and shall be brought to pass, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and the priests, and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, [doing] according to their abominations, [even] of the Kena’ani [Merchant], the Hitti [Terrorists], the P’rizi [Dwellers in Unwalled Towns], the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot], the ‘Amon [Inbred], the Mo’avi [of his father], the Mitzri, and the Emori [Highlanders].
And the king called the Giv’onim [little hill; hilly], and said unto them; (now the Giv’onim [little hill; hilly] [were] not of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], but of the remnant of the Emori [Highlanders]; and the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] had sworn unto them: and Sha’ul [desired] sought to slay them in his zeal to the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised].)
And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) sold them into the hand of Yavin [Whom God Observes] king of Kena’an [Merchant], that reigned in Hatzor [Castle]; the captain of whose host [was] Sisra [Battle Array (to put on; to clothe)], which dwelt in Haroshet-HaGoyim [Woodland of the Gentiles] of the Gentiles.
[Namely], five lords of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], and all the Kena’ani [Merchant], and the Tzidonim [Hunting], and the Hivi [Villagers] that dwelt in mount L’vanon [Whiteness], from mount Ba’al [lord (a false god)] between Mount Ba’al-Hermon [Lord of Destruction] unto the entering in of Hamat [Fortress].
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), choose you this day whom you2f will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Emori [Highlanders], in whose land you2f dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam (Man, ground; red; earthling), that [is] beside Tzartan [Their Distress]: 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 Yericho [Its Moon].
