Joshua 3

1And JoshuaH3091 roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242; and they removed from ShittimH7851, and cameH935 to the JordanH3383, he and all the children of IsraelH3478; and they lodged there before they passedH5674 over. 2And it came to passH5674 after threeH7969 daysH3117, that the officersH7860 went through the midstH7130 of the campH4264; 3and they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then ye shall remove from your placeH4725, and goH1980 after it. 4Yet there shall beH1961 a space between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must go; for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretofore. 5And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wondersH6381 among you. 6And JoshuaH3091 spake unto the priestsH3548, sayingH559, TakeH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and passH5674 over before the peopleH5971. And they tookH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and went before the peopleH5971.

7And Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to magnifyH1431 thee in the sight of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that, as I wasH1961 with MosesH4872, so I will beH1961 with thee. 8And thou shalt commandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, When ye are comeH935 to the brink of the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, ye shall standH5975 stillH5975 in the JordanH3383. 9And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the children of IsraelH3478, Come hither, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of Jehovah your GodH430. 10And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the living GodH410 is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the HiviteH2340, and the PerizziteH6522, and the GirgashiteH1622, and the AmoriteH567, and the JebusiteH2983. 11Behold, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH136 of all the earthH776 passeth over before you into the JordanH3383. 12NowH6258 thereforeH6258 takeH3947 you twelve menH376 out of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, for every tribeH7626 a manH376. 13And it shall come to pass, when the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earthH776, shall restH5117 in the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, that the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 shall beH1961 cutH3772 off, even the watersH4325 that come down from above; and they shall standH5975 in oneH259 heap.

14And it came to passH5674, when the peopleH5971 removed from their tentsH168, to passH5674 over the JordanH3383, the priestsH3548 that bare the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 being before the peopleH5971; 15and when they that bare the arkH727 were comeH935 unto the JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bare the arkH727 were dippedH2881 in the brink of the waterH4325 (for the JordanH3383 overfloweth all its banksH1415 all the time of harvestH7105), 16that the watersH4325 which cameH3381 downH3381 from above stoodH5975, and roseH6965 up in oneH259 heap, a great way off, at AdamH121, the cityH5892 that is beside ZarethanH6891; and those that wentH3381 downH3381 toward the seaH3220 of the ArabahH6160, even the SaltH4417 SeaH3220, were wholly cutH3772 off: and the peopleH5971 passedH5674 over right against JerichoH3405. 17And the priestsH3548 that bare the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah stoodH5975 firm on dryH2724 groundH2724 in the midstH8432 of the JordanH3383; and all IsraelH3478 passedH5674 over on dryH2724 groundH2724, until all the nationH1471 were passedH5674 clean over the JordanH3383.
