| [1]And so when the people were al gone ouer Iordane (after ye Lord had spoken vnto Iosuah, saying |
[1]And when all the people were wholly gone over Jordan, (after the Lord had spoken unto Joshua, saying, |
| [2]Take you twelue men out of the people, out of euery tribe a man |
[2]Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, |
| [3]And commaunde you them, saying: Take you hence out of the middes of Iordane [euen] out of the place where the priestes stoode in a redinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodgyng where you shall lodge this nyght |
[3]And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests stood in a readiness, twelve stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leave them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night) |
| [4]Then Iosuah called the twelue men, which he had prepared of the chyldren of Israel, out of euery tribe a man |
[4]Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man, |
| [5]And Iosuah sayde vnto them: Get you before the arke of the Lorde your God, euen through the middes of Iordane, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder, accordyng vnto the number of the tribes of the chyldren of Israel |
[5]And Joshua said unto them, Go over before the ark of the Lord your God, even through the midst of Jordan, and take up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, |
| [6]That this may be a signe among you: That when your chyldren aske their fathers in tyme to come, saying, What [meane] these stones with you |
[6]That this may be a sign among you, that when your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean you by these stones? |
| [7]Ye maye aunswere them: howe that the waters of Iordane deuided at the presence of the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde, (For when it went ouer Iordane, the waters of Iordane deuided) And these stones are become a memoriall vnto the chyldren of Israel for euer |
[7]Then ye may answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: therefore these stones are a memorial unto the children of Israel forever. |
| [8]And the chyldren of Israel dyd euen so as Iosuah commaunded, and toke vp twelue stones out of the middes of Iordane as the Lorde sayde vnto Iosuah, accordyng to the number of the tribes of the chyldren of Israel, and caryed them away with them vnto the place where they lodged, & layde them downe there |
[8]Then the children of Israel did even so as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan as the Lord had said unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them away with them unto the lodging, and laid them down there. |
| [9]And Iosuah set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iordane, in the place where the feete of the priestes whiche bare the arke of the testament stoode: and there haue they continued vnto this day |
[9]And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests, which bear the ark of the covenant stood, and there have they continued unto this day. |
| [10]For the priestes whiche bare the arke stoode in the middes of Iordane, vntyll all was finished that the Lorde commaunded Iosuah to saye vnto the people, accordyng to all that Moyses charged Iosuah: And the people hasted, & went ouer |
[10]So the priests, which bear the ark, stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to say unto the people, according to all that Moses charged Joshua: then the people hasted and went over. |
| [11]And when all the people were cleane passed ouer, the arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the priestes before the people |
[11]When all the people were clean passed over, the ark of the Lord went over also, and the priests before the people. |
| [12]And the chyldren of Ruben, and the chyldren of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasse, went before the chyldren of Israel armed, as Moyses charged the |
[12]And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh went over before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them. |
| [13]Euen fourtie thousande prepared for warre, went before the Lorde vnto battayl, through the plaine of Iericho |
[13]Even forty thousand prepared for war, went before the Lord unto battle, into the plain of Jericho. |
| [14]That day the Lorde magnified Iosuah in the syght of all Israel: and they feared hym, as they feared Moyses all dayes of his lyfe |
[14]That day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all days of his life. |
| [15]And the Lorde spake vnto Iosuah, saying |
[15]And the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying, |
| [16]Commaunde the priestes that beare the arke of the testimonie to come vp out of Iordane |
[16]Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, to come up out of Jordan. |
| [17]Iosuah therefore commaunded the priestes, saying: Come ye vp out of Iordane |
[17]Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan. |
| [18]And when the priestes that bare the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde, were come vp out of the middes of Iordane, and assoone as the soles of the priestes feete were set on ye drie land, the waters of Iordane returned vnto their place, and went ouer all their bankes as they dyd before |
[18]And when the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and as soon as the soles of the priest's feet were set on the dry land, the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all the banks thereof, as they did before. |
| [19]And the people came vp out of Iordane the tenth [day] of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, euen in the east border of the citie Iericho |
[19]So the people came up out of Jordan the tenth day of the first month, and pitched in Gilgal, in the eastside of Jericho. |
| [20]And the twelue stones whiche they toke out of Iordane, dyd Iosuah pitch in Gilgal |
[20]Also the twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. |
| [21]And he spake vnto the chyldren of Israel, saying: If your chyldren aske their fathers in tyme to come, and saye: What [meane] these stones |
[21]And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, and say, What mean these stones? |
| [22]Ye shall shewe your chyldren, and say: Israel came ouer this Iordane on drye lande |
[22]Then ye shall show your children, and say, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land: |
| [23]For the Lorde your God dried vp the water of Iordane before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as ye Lorde your God dyd the red sea, which he dried vp before vs, tyll we were gone ouer |
[23]For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan before you, until ye were gone over, as the Lord your God did the Red Sea, which he dried up before us, till we were gone over, |
| [24]That all the people of ye world may knowe the hande of the Lorde howe mightie it is, and that ye might feare the Lorde your God for euer |
[24]That all the people of the world may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, that ye might fear the Lord your God continually. |
