| [1]And Iosuah rose early and they remoued fro Sittim, and came to Iordane, he and all the chyldren of Israel: and lodged there before they went ouer |
[1]Then Joshua rose very early, and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he, and all the children of Israel, and lodged there, before they went over. |
| [2]And after three dayes, the officers went throughout the hoaste |
[2]And after three days the officers went throughout the host, |
| [3]And commaunded the people, saying: When ye see the arke of the testament of the Lorde your God, and the priestes that are Leuites bearing it, ye shall depart from your place, and go after it |
[3]And commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests of the Levites bearing it, ye shall depart from your place, and go after it. |
| [4]So yet that there shalbe a space betweene you and it, about two thousand cubites by measure: And ye shall not come nye vnto it, that ye may know the way by whiche ye must go: for ye haue not gone this way in times past |
[4]Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: ye shall not come near unto it, that ye may know the way, by the which ye shall go: for ye have not gone this way in times past. |
| [5]And Iosuah sayde vnto the people: Sanctifie your selues, for to morowe the Lord shal do wonders among you |
[5](Now Joshua had said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you) |
| [6]And Iosuah spake vnto the priestes, saying: Take vp the arke of the couenaunt, and go ouer before the people. And they toke vp the arke of the testament, and went before the people |
[6]Also Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and go over before the people: so they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. |
| [7]And ye Lord sayd vnto Iosuah: This day will I beginne to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may knowe howe that as I was with Moyses, so will I be with thee |
[7]Then the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, which shall know, that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee. |
| [8]And thou shalt comaunde ye priestes that beare the arke of the couenaunt, saying: when ye are come to the edge of the waters of Iordane, ye shall stande still in Iordane |
[8]Thou shalt therefore command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the waters of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan. |
| [9]And Iosuah saide vnto the children of Israel: Come hyther, and heare the wordes of the Lorde your God |
[9]Then Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. |
| [10]And Iosuah sayde: Hereby ye shall knowe that the liuing God is among you, and that he will without fayle cast out before you the Chanaanites, and the Hethithes, the Heuites, the Pherezites, the Gergesites, the Amorites, and the Iebusites |
[10]And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will certainly cast out before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. |
| [11]Beholde, the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde of all the world, goeth before you into Iordane |
[11]Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the world passeth before you into Jordan. |
| [12]Nowe therfore take from among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of euery tribe a man |
[12]Now therefore take from among you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man. |
| [13]And assoone as the soles of the feete of the priestes that beare the arke of the Lorde the gouernour of all the worlde, treade in the waters of Iordane, the waters of Iordane shalbe deuided: and the waters that come from aboue shall stande still vpon an heape |
[13]And as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests (that bear the ark of the Lord God the Lord of all the world) shall stay in the waters of Jordan, the waters of Jordan shall be cut off: for the waters that come from above, shall stand still upon an heap. |
| [14]And so, when the people were departed fro their tentes to go ouer Iordane, the priestes bearing the arke of the couenaunt, went before the people |
[14]Then when the people were departed from their tents to go over Jordan, the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, went before the people. |
| [15]And assoone as they that bare ye arke came vnto Iordane, and the feete of the priestes that bare the arke were dypped in the brym of the water (For Iordane vseth to fyll all his banckes all the time of haruest |
[15]And as they that bear the ark came unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bear the ark were dipped in the brink of the water, (for Jordan useth to fill all his banks all the time of harvest) |
| [16]The waters also that came downe fro aboue, did rise vp vpon an heape and departed farre from ye citie of Ada, that was beside Zarthan: And the waters that were beneath towarde ye sea of the wildernes, euen the salt sea, fayled and were cut of: and the people went right ouer against Iericho |
[16]Then the waters that came down from above, stayed and rose upon an heap and departed far from the city of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters that came down toward the sea of the wilderness, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: so the people went right over against Jericho. |
| [17]And the priestes that bare the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde, stoode drie within Iordane, redy prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer thorowe the drie, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer thorowe Iordane |
[17]But the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, stood dry within Jordan ready prepared, and all the Israelites went over dry, until all the people were gone clean over through Jordan. |
