The Lord told Joshua,

The Lord instructed Joshua:

Joshua instructed ¹  the leaders of the people:

his son Nun, ¹  and his son Joshua.

So Joshua destroyed ¹  Amalek and his army ²  with the sword. ³ 

So Joshua instructed the priests, “Come up from the Jordan!”

they formed an alliance to fight against Joshua and Israel. ¹ 

Joshua campaigned against ¹  these kings for quite some time. ² 

Then the angel of the Lord exhorted Joshua solemnly:

Joshua and the whole army marched against Ai. ¹  Joshua selected thirty thousand brave warriors and sent them out at night.

The commander of the Lord’s army answered Joshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, because the place where you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.

Joshua sent them away and they went to their hiding place ¹  west of Ai, between Bethel ²  and Ai. ³  Joshua spent that night with the army. ⁴ 

But they said to Joshua, “We are willing to be your subjects.” ¹  So Joshua said to them, “Who are you and where do you come from?”

So Moses set out ¹  with ²  Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up the mountain of God.

Joshua told the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh:

They told Joshua, “We will do everything you say. We will go wherever you send us.

Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God!”

When the entire nation was on the other side, ¹  the Lord told Joshua,

Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one per tribe.

Now Joshua set up in Gilgal the ¹  twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.
