And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
7
and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
8
And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
9

11
And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,
12
and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,
13
yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.
14
And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;
15
in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed -- greatly.
16
And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
