Joshua 11
11
1And it came to pass, when Yavin [Whom God Observes] king of Hatzor [Castle] had heard [those things], that he sent to Yovav [A Desert] king of Madon [Strife], and to the king of Shimron [Watch-Height], and to the king of Akhshaf [I Shall be Bewitched],
2And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Kinn’rot [Harps], and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor [Generation] on the west,
3 [And to] the Kena’ani [Merchants] on the east and on the west, and [to] the Emori [Rebellious Highlanders], and the Hitti [Terrorists], and the P’rizi [Villagers], and the Y’vusi [Threshers] in the mountains, and [to] the Hivi [Wicked Villagers] under Hermon [A Sanctuary] in the land of Mitzpah [Watchtower].
4And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom [High Place], to fight against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
6And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], Be not afraid because of them: for tomorrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: youi shall hough (hamstring; cut the tendons of the ham) their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
7So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom [High Place] suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) delivered them into the hand of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], who struck them, and chased them unto great Tzidon [Hunting], and unto Misrefot-Mayim [Burnings of Water], and unto the valley of Mitzpah [Watchtower] eastward; and they struck them, until they left them none remaining.
9And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] did unto them as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) bade him: he hamstringed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] at that time turned back, and took Hatzor [Castle], and struck the king thereof with the sword: for Hatzor [Castle] formerly was the head of all those kingdoms.
11And they struck all the souls that [were] in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hatzor [Castle] with fire.
12And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] take, and struck them with the edge of the sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded.
13But [as for] the cities that stood still in their strength, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] burned none of them, save Hatzor [Castle] only; [that] did Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] burn.
14And all the spoil (plunder; prey; booty) of these cities, and the cattle, the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
15As the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] his servant, so did Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] command Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], and so did Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation]; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].
16So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen [Drawing Near], and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and the valley of the same;
17 [Even] from the mount Halak [Smooth], that goes up to Se’ir [Shaggy], even unto Ba’al-Gad [lord of Fortune] in the valley of L’vanon [Whiteness] under mount Hermon [A Sanctuary]: and all their kings he took, and struck them, and killed them.
18Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] made war a long time with all those kings.
19There was not a city that made peace with the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], save the Hivi [Villagers] the inhabitants of Giv’on [Hill City]: all [other] they took in battle.
20For it was of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to harden their hearts, that they should come against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].
21And at that time came Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], and cut off the ‘Anakim [Longed-Necked] from the mountains, from Hevron [Seat of Association], from D’vir [Sanctuary], from ‘Anav [Fruit], and from all the mountains of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and from all the mountains of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22There was none of the ‘Anakim [Longed-Necked] left in the land of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: only in ‘Azah [The Strong], in Gat [Winepress], and in Ashdod [powerful], there remained.
23So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] took the whole land, according to all that the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters]; and Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] gave it for an inheritance unto Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
