- Josué 6
  
  6 Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh."
  
  7 They said to the people, "Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh's ark."
  
  8 It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before Yahweh advanced, and blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.
  
  9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went.
  
  10 Joshua commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout."
  
  11 So he caused the ark of Yahweh to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
  
  12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahweh.
  
  13 The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the ark of Yahweh. The trumpets sounded as they went.
  
  14 The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
  
  15 It happened on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. Only on this day they marched around the city seven times.
  
  16 It happened at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, "Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city!
  
  17 The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
  
  18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the devoted thing, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so would you make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.
  
  19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh's treasury."
  
  20 So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets. It happened, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
  
  21 They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
  
  22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her."
  
  23 The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel.
  
  24 They burnt the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh's house.
  
  25 But Rahab the prostitute, her father's household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lived in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
  
  26 Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, "Cursed is the man before Yahweh, who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up its gates."
  
  27 So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
  
  Psaumes 135
  
  1 Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
  
  2 you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our God's house.
  
  3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
  
  4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
  
  5 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
  
  6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
  
  7 who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
  
  8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
  
  9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
  
  10 who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
  
  11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
  
  12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
  
  13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
  
  14 For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
  
  15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
  
  16 They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
  
  17 They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
  
  18 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
  
  19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
  
  20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
  
  21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

  19 Sihon king of the Amorites; for his loving kindness endures forever;
  
  20 Og king of Bashan; for his loving kindness endures forever;
  
  21 And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving kindness endures forever;
  
  22 Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving kindness endures forever:
  
  23 Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness endures forever;
  
  24 And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving kindness endures forever:
  
  25 Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.
  
  26 Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness endures forever.
  
  Esaïe 66
  
  1 Thus says Yahweh, "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of house will you build to me? and what place shall be my rest?
  
  2 For all these things has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says Yahweh: "but to this man will I look, even to him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
  
  3 He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations:
  
  4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn't listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn't delight."
  
  5 Hear the word of Yahweh, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
  
  6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Yahweh that renders recompense to his enemies.
  
  7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
  
  8 Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
  
  9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says Yahweh: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says your God.
  
  10 "Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
  
  11 that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
  
  12 For thus says Yahweh, "Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
  
  13 As one whom his mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
  
  14 You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Yahweh shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
  
  15 For, behold, Yahweh will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
  
  16 For by fire will Yahweh execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain of Yahweh shall be many.
  
  17 "Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says Yahweh.
  
  18 "For I know their works and their thoughts: the time comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.
  
  19 "I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
  
  20 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to Yahweh, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says Yahweh, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahweh.
  
  21 Of them also will I take for priests and for Levites," says Yahweh.
  
  22 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says Yahweh, "so your seed and your name shall remain.
  
  23 It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says Yahweh.
  
  24 "They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all mankind."
