Joshua יְהוֹשֻׁעַ

The book of Joshua (Yehoshua) opens the Prophets where the Torah closes: Moses is dead, and his attendant is charged to bring Israel over the Jordan into the land promised to the fathers. Its twenty-four chapters move from conquest to inheritance — the crossing on dry ground, Jericho and Ai, the southern and northern campaigns — and then, tribe by tribe, the surveyed portions, the cities of refuge, and the Levites' forty-eight cities, closing with Joshua's farewell charges and the covenant renewed at Shechem. Tradition assigns the book to Joshua himself, its closing verses completed by Eleazar and Phinehas. This volume presents the complete Hebrew text with English translation, a word-by-word interlinear layer with transliteration, roots, and gematria, and the classic commentaries of Rashi, Radak, Ralbag, Metzudat David, Metzudat Zion, Malbim, and Abarbanel, newly translated into English.
