JOSHUA IN E-PRIME WITH INTERLINEAR HERBREW IN IPA
NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher we use John teaches), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet we
use The apple tastes sweet), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man we use God blesses the man). By performing these linguistic procedures,
we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers

The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only 60%
phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and miss.
Using the pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the most stable
elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will cause trouble
continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end English speakers as
they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew texts.

So they stationed the people, all the army that stood on the north side of the city, and its rear

It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early

Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that you have in your hand toward

Joshua 10 (Back)

1
Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai,
and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to
Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and
dwelled within their land,

that he feared greatly, because Gibeon had the reputation of a great city, like one of the royal

So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of

with all their armies, and camped by Gibeon and fought against it.

Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon

11
As they fled from before Israel, while they came to the descent of Beth-horon, the LORD
threw large stones from heaven on them as far as Azekah, and they died; more died from
the hailstones than those whom the sons of Israel killed with the sword.

So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.
