1 And Joshua 3091 rose early 7925 in the morning 1242; and they removed 5265 from Shittim 7851, and came 935 to Jordan 3383, he and all the children 1121 of Israel 3478, and lodged 3885 there before they passed over 5674.
2 And it came to pass after 7097 three 7969 days 3117, that the officers 7860 went 5674 through 7130 the host 4264;
3 And they commanded 6680 the people 5971, saying 559, When ye see 7200 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, and the priests 3548 the Levites 3881 bearing 5375 it, then ye shall remove 5265 from your place 4725, and go 1980 after 310 it.
4 Yet there shall be a space 7350 between you and it, about two thousand 505 cubits 520 by measure 4060: come not near 7126 unto it, that ye may know 3045 the way 1870 by which ye must go 3212: for ye have not passed 5674 this way 1870 heretofore 8543 8032.
5 And Joshua 3091 said 559 unto the people 5971, Sanctify 6942 yourselves: for to morrow 4279 the LORD 3068 will do 6213 wonders 6381 among 7130 you.
6 And Joshua 3091 spake 559 unto the priests 3548, saying 559, Take up 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285, and pass over 5674 before 6440 the people 5971. And they took up 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285, and went 3212 before 6440 the people 5971.
7 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto Joshua 3091, This day 3117 will I begin 2490 to magnify 1431 thee in the sight 5869 of all Israel 3478, that they may know 3045 that, as I was with Moses 4872, so I will be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command 6680 the priests 3548 that bear 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285, saying 559, When ye are come 935 to the brink 7097 of the water 4325 of Jordan 3383, ye shall stand still 5975 in Jordan 3383.
9 And Joshua 3091 said 559 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, Come hither 5066, and hear 8085 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 your God 430.
10 And Joshua 3091 said 559, Hereby ye shall know 3045 that the living 2416 God 410 is among 7130 you, and that he will without fail 3423 drive out 3423 from before 6440 you the Canaanites 3669, and the Hittites 2850, and the Hivites 2340, and the Perizzites 6522, and the Girgashites 1622, and the Amorites 567, and the Jebusites 2983.
11 Behold, the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the Lord 113 of all the earth 776 passeth over 5674 before 6440 you into Jordan 3383.
12 Now therefore take 3947 you twelve 8147 6240 men 376 out of the tribes 7626 of Israel 3478, out of every 259 tribe 7626 a man 376.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles 3709 of the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 that bear 5375 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, the Lord 113 of all the earth 776, shall rest 5117 in the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383, that the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 shall be cut off 3772 from the waters 4325 that come down 3381 from above 4605; and they shall stand 5975 upon an 259 heap 5067.
14 And it came to pass, when the people 5971 removed 5265 from their tents 168, to pass over 5674 Jordan 3383, and the priests 3548 bearing 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 before 6440 the people 5971;
15 And as they that bare 5375 the ark 727 were come 935 unto Jordan 3383, and the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 that bare 5375 the ark 727 were dipped 2881 in the brim 7097 of the water 4325, (for Jordan 3383 overfloweth 4390 all his banks 1415 all the time 3117 of harvest 7105,)
16 That the waters 4325 which came down 3381 from above 4605 stood 5975 and rose up 6965 upon an 259 heap 5067 very 3966 far 7368 from the city 5892 Adam 121, that is beside 6654 Zaretan 6891: and those that came down 3381 toward the sea 3220 of the plain 6160, even the salt 4417 sea 3220, failed 8552, and were cut off 3772: and the people 5971 passed over 5674 right against Jericho 3405.
17 And the priests 3548 that bare 5375 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 stood 5975 firm 3559 on dry ground 2724 in the midst 8432 of Jordan 3383, and all the Israelites 3478 passed over 5674 on dry ground 2724, until all the people 1471 were passed 5674 0 clean 8552 over 5674 Jordan 3383.
