[1]And it came to pass, when all the peopleH1471 were cleanH8552[H8804] passed overH5674[H8800] JordanH3383, that the LORDH3068 spakeH559[H8799] unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,[H8800]
[2]TakeH3947[H8798] you twelveH8147[H6240] menH582 out of the peopleH5971, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376,
[3]And commandH6680[H8761] ye them, sayingH559[H8800], TakeH5375[H8798] you hence out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, out of the place where the priests'H3548 feetH7272 stoodH4673 firmH3559[H8687], twelveH8147[H6240] stonesH68, and ye shall carry them overH5674[H8689] with you, and leaveH3240[H8689] them in the lodging placeH4411, where ye shall lodgeH3885[H8799] this nightH3915.
[4]Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121[H8799] the twelveH8147[H6240] menH376, whom he had preparedH3559[H8689] of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376:
[5]And JoshuaH3091 saidH559[H8799] unto them, Pass overH5674[H8798] beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 into the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and take ye upH7311[H8685] everyH259 manH376 of you a stoneH68 upon his shoulderH7926, according unto the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
[6]That this may be a signH226 amongH7130 you, that when your childrenH1121 askH7592[H8799] their fathers in time to comeH4279, sayingH559[H8800], What mean ye by these stonesH68?
[7]Then ye shall answerH559[H8804] them, That the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772[H8738] beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068; when it passed overH5674[H8800] JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772[H8738]: and these stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
[8]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213[H8799] so as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680[H8765], and took upH5375[H8799] twelveH8147[H6240] stonesH68 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, as the LORDH3068 spakeH1696[H8765] unto JoshuaH3091, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and carried them overH5674[H8686] with them unto the place where they lodgedH4411, and laid them downH3240 thereH8686.
[9]And JoshuaH3091 set upH6965[H8689] twelveH8147[H6240] stonesH68 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, in the place where the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 which bareH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 stoodH4673: and they are there unto this dayH3117.
[10]For the priestsH3548 which bareH5375[H8802] the arkH727 stoodH5975[H8802] in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, until every thingH1697 was finishedH8552[H8800] that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680[H8765] JoshuaH3091 to speakH1696[H8763] unto the peopleH5971, according to all that MosesH4872 commandedH6680[H8765] JoshuaH3091: and the peopleH5971 hastedH4116[H8762] and passed overH5674.[H8799]
[11]And it came to pass, when all the peopleH5971 were cleanH8552[H8804] passed overH5674[H8800], that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 passed overH5674[H8799], and the priestsH3548, in the presenceH6440 of the peopleH5971.
[12]And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, passed overH5674[H8799] armedH2571 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, as MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto themH8765:
[13]About fortyH705 thousandH505 preparedH2502[H8803] for warH6635 passed overH5674[H8804] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 unto battleH4421, to the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405.
[14]On that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 magnifiedH1431[H8765] JoshuaH3091 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478; and they fearedH3372[H8799] him, as they fearedH3372[H8804] MosesH4872, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
[15]And the LORDH3068 spakeH559[H8799] unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,[H8800]
[16]CommandH6680[H8761] the priestsH3548 that bearH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, that they come upH5927[H8799] out of JordanH3383.
[17]JoshuaH3091 therefore commandedH6680[H8762] the priestsH3548, sayingH559[H8800], Come ye upH5927[H8798] out of JordanH3383.
[18]And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 that bareH5375[H8802] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 were come upH5927[H8800] out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and the solesH3709 of the priests'H3548 feetH7272 were lifted upH5423[H8738] unto the dry landH2724, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 returnedH7725[H8799] unto their placeH4725, and flowedH3212[H8799] over all his banksH1415, asH8543 they did beforeH8032.
[19]And the peopleH5971 came upH5927[H8804] out of JordanH3383 on the tenthH6218 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and encampedH2583[H8799] in GilgalH1537, in the eastH4217 borderH7097 of JerichoH3405.
[20]And those twelveH8147[H6240] stonesH68, which they took outH3947[H8804] of JordanH3383, did JoshuaH3091 pitchH6965[H8689] in GilgalH1537.
[21]And he spakeH559[H8799] unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559[H8800], When your childrenH1121 shall askH7592[H8799] their fathersH1 in time to comeH4279, sayingH559[H8800], What mean these stonesH68?
[22]Then ye shall let your childrenH1121 knowH3045[H8689], sayingH559[H8800], IsraelH3478 came overH5674[H8804] this JordanH3383 on dry landH3004.
[23]For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dried upH3001[H8689] the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 you, until ye were passed overH5674[H8800], as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213[H8804] to the RedH5488 seaH3220, which he dried upH3001[H8689] from beforeH6440 us, until we were gone overH5674:[H8800]
[24]That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 might knowH3045[H8800] the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, that it is mightyH2389: that ye might fearH3372[H8804] the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH3117.
