Darby Bible

1And JoshuaH3091 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242; and they removed from ShittimH7851, and cameH935 to the JordanH3383, he and all the children of IsraelH3478, and lodged there before they passedH5674 over. 2And it came to passH5674 at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117, that the officersH7860 went through the campH4264; 3and they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah your 1GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then remove from your placeH4725, and goH1980 after it; 4yet there shall beH1961 a distanceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measure. Ye shall not come near it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must go; for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretofore. 5And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, Hallow yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wondersH6381 in your midstH7130. 6And JoshuaH3091 spoke to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, TakeH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and go over before the peopleH5971. And they tookH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and went before the peopleH5971. 7And Jehovah saidH559 to 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 will I beH1961 with thee. 8And thou shalt commandH6680 the priestsH3548 who bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, When ye comeH935 to the edge of the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, standH5975 stillH5975 in the JordanH3383. 9And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the children of IsraelH3478, Come hither, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of Jehovah your 2GodH430. 10And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby shall ye knowH3045 that the living 3GodH410 is in your midstH7130, and [that] he will without fail dispossessH3423 from before you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the AmoritesH567, and the Jebusites. 11Behold, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH136 of all the earthH776 is going over before you into the JordanH3383. 12And nowH6258 takeH3947 you twelve menH376 out of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, oneH259 manH376 for each tribeH7626. 13And it shall come to pass, when the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 who bearH5375 the arkH727 of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earthH776, restH5117 in the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, the watersH4325 flowing downH3381 from above, shall beH1961 cutH3772 off, and shall standH5975 up in a heap. 14And it came to passH5674 when the peopleH5971 removed from their tentsH168, to passH5674 over the JordanH3383, that the priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 wereH1961 before the peopleH5971; 15and when they that boreH5375 the arkH727 were comeH935 to the JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 who boreH5375 the arkH727 dippedH2881 in the edge of the waterH4325 (and the JordanH3383 is fullH4390 over all its banksH1415 throughout the daysH3117 of harvestH7105), 16the watersH4325 which flowed downH3381 from above stoodH5975 [and] roseH6965 up in a heap, veryH3966 farH7368, by AdamH121, the cityH5892 that is beside Zaretan; and those that flowed downH3381 towards the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, the saltH4417 seaH3220, were completely cutH3772 off. And the peopleH5971 wentH3381 over opposite to JerichoH3405. 17And the priestsH3548 who boreH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah stoodH5975 firm on dryH2724 groundH2724 in the midstH8432 of the JordanH3383. And all IsraelH3478 went over on dryH2724 groundH2724, until all the nationH1471 had completely gone over the JordanH3383.
