JOSHUA
It was after the death of Moss in the desert
and God called to Joshua and said
rise and cross the Jordan with the nation
to the land that I'm giving (you)
every place that your foot shall step on
as I said, I have given to you
Be strong and brave and don't be dismayed
because this one land is yours
And Jericho closed before the children of Israel
and the priest carried up the Jubilee horn
and the nation went out to bring down the wall
and the children of Reuben and Gad are leading
and the horn gave a great trumpet blast
and the bottom of the Jericho wall fell
Be strong...
And the Emorite kings and with them
a nation great as the sand on the sea shore
And Joshua suddenly came to them
and he said in in Giv'on to the red sun
and the moon stood in the Ayalon valley
and the kings of Lachish and Eglon were tried
Be strong...
And Joshua struck the king of Dor
and the king of Mak'dah and the king of Chatzor
and the king of Adulam and the king of Hebron
and the king of Ach'shaf and the king of Samaria
and the king of Chormah and the king of Arad
all the kings were 31 in number
Be strong...
