[1]And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925[H8686] in the morningH1242; and they removedH5265[H8799] from ShittimH7851, and cameH935[H8799] to JordanH3383, he and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and lodgedH3885[H8799] there before they passed overH5674.[H8799]
[2]And it came to pass afterH7097 threeH7969 daysH3117, that the officersH7860[H8802] wentH5674[H8799] throughH7130 the hostH4264;
[3]And they commandedH6680[H8762] the peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], When ye seeH7200[H8800] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375[H8802] it, then ye shall removeH5265[H8799] from your placeH4725, and goH1980[H8804] after itH310.
[4]Yet there shall be a spaceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measureH4060: come not nearH7126[H8799] unto it, that ye may knowH3045[H8799] the wayH1870 by which ye must goH3212[H8799]: for ye have not passedH5674[H8804] this wayH1870 heretoforeH8543.[H8032]
[5]And JoshuaH3091 saidH559[H8799] unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942[H8690] yourselves: for to morrowH4279 the LORDH3068 will doH6213[H8799] wondersH6381[H8737] among youH7130.
[6]And JoshuaH3091 spakeH559[H8799] unto the priestsH3548, sayingH559[H8800], Take upH5375[H8798] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and pass overH5674[H8798] beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. And they took upH5375[H8799] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and wentH3212[H8799] beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
[7]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490[H8686] to magnifyH1431[H8763] thee in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045[H8799] that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with theeH4872.
[8]And thou shalt commandH6680[H8762] the priestsH3548 that bearH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559[H8800], When ye are comeH935[H8800] to the brinkH7097 of the waterH4325 of JordanH3383, ye shall stand stillH5975[H8799] in JordanH3383.
[9]And JoshuaH3091 saidH559[H8799] unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come hitherH5066[H8798], and hearH8085[H8798] the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
[10]And JoshuaH3091 saidH559[H8799], Hereby ye shall knowH3045[H8799] that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423[H8687] drive outH3423[H8686] from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
[11]Behold, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH113 of all the earthH776 passeth overH5674[H8802] beforeH6440 you into JordanH3383.
[12]Now therefore takeH3947[H8798] you twelveH8147[H6240] menH376 out of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376.
[13]And it shall come to pass, as soon as the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bearH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the LordH113 of all the earthH776, shall restH5117[H8800] in the watersH4325 of JordanH3383, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 shall be cut offH3772[H8735] from the watersH4325 that come downH3381[H8802] from aboveH4605; and they shall standH5975[H8799] upon anH259 heapH5067.
[14]And it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 removedH5265[H8800] from their tentsH168, to pass overH5674[H8800] JordanH3383, and the priestsH3548 bearingH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971;
[15]And as they that bareH5375[H8802] the arkH727 were comeH935[H8800] unto JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bareH5375[H8802] the arkH727 were dippedH2881[H8738] in the brimH7097 of the waterH4325, (for JordanH3383 overflowethH4390[H8804] all his banksH1415 all the timeH3117 of harvestH7105,)
[16]That the watersH4325 which came downH3381[H8802] from aboveH4605 stoodH5975[H8799] and rose upH6965[H8804] upon anH259 heapH5067 veryH3966 farH7368[H8687] from the cityH5892 AdamH121, that is besideH6654 ZaretanH6891: and those that came downH3381[H8802] toward the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, even the saltH4417 seaH3220, failedH8552[H8804], and were cut offH3772[H8738]: and the peopleH5971 passed overH5674[H8804] right against JerichoH3405.
[17]And the priestsH3548 that bareH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975[H8799] firmH3559[H8687] on dry groundH2724 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and all the IsraelitesH3478 passed overH5674[H8802] on dry groundH2724, until all the peopleH1471 were passedH5674 cleanH8552[H8804] overH5674[H8800] JordanH3383.
