Bible Reading for March 11

Joshua 1
[1] Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that
the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, [2] Moses
my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all
this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of
Israel.
[3] Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given
unto you, as I said unto Moses. [4] From the wilderness and this Lebanon even
unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and
unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. [5]
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life:
as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee.
[6] Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for
an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. [7]
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do
according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from
it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever
thou goest.
[8] This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all
that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then
thou shalt have good success. [9] Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a
good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is
with thee whithersoever thou goest.
[10] Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, [11] Pass
through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for
within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land,
which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. [12] And to the Reubenites,
and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
[13] Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you,
saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
[14] Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land
which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your
brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; [15] Until the
LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have
possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return
unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant
gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising. [16] And they answered
Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou
sendest us, we will go. [17] According as we hearkened unto Moses in all
things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he
was with Moses. [18] Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment,
and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall
be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

Joshua 2
[1] And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly,
saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an
harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. [2] And it was told the king of
Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of
Israel to search out the country. [3] And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab,
saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine
house: for they be come to search out all the country.
[4] And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men
unto me, but I wist not whence they were: [5] And it came to pass about the
time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither
the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall 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 upon the roof. [7] And the men
pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which
pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate. [8] And before they were
laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; [9] And she said unto the men,
I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen
upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
[10] For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you,
when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites,
that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
[11] And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did
there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your
God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. [12] Now therefore, I
pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye
will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:
[13] And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and
my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death. [14] And
the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business.
And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly
and truly with thee. [15] Then she let them down by a cord through the window:
for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. [16] And she
said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide
yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may
ye go your way.
[17] And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which
thou hast made us swear.
[18] Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet
thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy
father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home
unto thee.
[19] And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house
into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless:
and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head,
if any hand be upon him.
[20] And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath
which thou hast made us to swear.
[21] And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away,
and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window. [22] And they
went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the
pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way,
but found them not.
[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 unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands
all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of
us.

Joshua 3
[1] And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and
came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they
passed over.
[2] And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the
host;
[3] And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant
of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall
remove from your place, and go after it. [4] Yet there shall be a space between
you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that
ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way
heretofore. [5] And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to
morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
[6] And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant,
and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and
went before the people. [7] And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I
begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I
was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
[8] And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant,
saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand
still in Jordan.
[9] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the
words of the LORD your God.
[10] And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you,
and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Jebusites.
[11] Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over
before you into Jordan.
[12] Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of 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, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the
waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters
that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap. [14] And it came
to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the
priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
[15] And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the
priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan
overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,) [16] That the waters which
came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city
Adam, that is beside 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 Jericho. [17] And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant
of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the
Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean
over Jordan.
