And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And the prince of Jehovah's hosts said unto Joshua, Put off thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place wherein thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and

46 v. lb is generally treated literally. Cf. Ho. 1-3.

47 E: Di., St. The fragment is probably misplaced; it should come after the death of Moses (Jg. 1, Gray) or before J46 (Nu. 251b, Smend).

49 J: Di., Ho., Ki., CH, Gr., GFM., Pr., Smend. JEs: Ku, Co., Dr., Ad. E:St.

Josh. 1513-19

52. INCOMPLETE CONQUEST OF THE JEBUSITES (IN JERUSALEM) BY THE TRIBE OF JUDAH (OR BENJAMIN). E62. P90. Cf. 2 Sam. 56-10

Josh. 1563 Jg. 121

Josh. 1563 And as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but

Joshua that is to be assigned to the various sources. J doubtless had a much longer narrative of the covenant with the Hivites than vv. 6-7. However, the present analysis will proceed very conservatively, and will include in J only those passages from Joshua with reference to which there is practical unanimity. All doubtful material is printed as E, cf. E53-73. St. has been of great aid in Joshua, because he has collated the views of many authorities with reference to the analysis.

50 Rd: Smend only (in imitation of 1563 1610 1712).

51 vv. 13-19 are verbatim the same as Jg. 111-15, except that Jg. reads "Caleb's younger brother" (v. 13, cf. Josh. v. 17), "Caleb said unto her" (v. 14, cf. Josh. v. 18b), "she said unto him," "and Caleb gave her" (v. 15, cf. Josh. v. 19). Thus we have two versions of the same J passage, practically identical. Josh. v. 13 R: Smend only.

the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.

14 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one part for an inheritance, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as hitherto Jehovah hath blessed me? 15 And Joshua said unto them, If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee. 16 And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel. 17 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only: 18 but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou

54 Parallel to vv. 11-13 is Jg. 127-28, as follows:

27 And Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its towns, nor of Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land. 28 And it came to pass, when Israel was waxed strong, that they put the Canaanites to taskwork, and did not utterly drive them out.

56. JUDAH AND SIMEON DEFEAT ADONI-BEZEK. E62. Jg. 11-7

11 And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked of Jehovah, saying, Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them? 2 And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand. 3 And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. 4 And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men. 5 And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites. Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. 7 And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

(Now the name of the city beforetime was Luz.) 24 And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee. 25 And he showed them the entrance into the city; and they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family. 26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof unto this day.
