Joshua 3:3-15

3and they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “When you seeH7200 the 1arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 with the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 carryingH5375 it, then you shall setH5265 outH5265 from your placeH4725 and goH1980 afterH310 it. 4HoweverH389, there shall be a distanceH7350 betweenH996 you and it of about 2twoH505 thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measurementH4060. Do not comeH7126 nearH7126 it, soH4616 thatH4616 you may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by whichH834 you shall goH1980, for you have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 beforeH4480H8543H8032.”

5Then JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “3ConsecrateH6942 yourselves, for tomorrowH4279 the LordH3068 will doH6213 miraclesH6381 amongH7130 you.” 6And JoshuaH3091 spokeH559 to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, “TakeH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 and crossH5674 overH5674 aheadH6440 of the peopleH5971.” So they tookH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 and wentH1980 aheadH6440 of the peopleH5971.

7Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “ThisH2088 dayH3117 I will beginH2490 to 4exaltH1431 you in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, soH834 thatH834 they will knowH3045 that justH3512 asH3512 I have beenH1961 with MosesH4872, I will be with you. 8So you shall commandH6680 the priestsH3548 who are carryingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, ‘When you comeH935 to the edgeH7097 of the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, you shall standH5975 still in the JordanH3383.’” 9Then JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, “ComeH5066 hereH2008, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LordH3068 your GodH430.” 10And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “By thisH2088 you will knowH3045 that 5the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that He will assuredlyH3423 6driveH3423 outH3423 from you the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the HiviteH2340, the PerizziteH6522, the GirgashiteH1622, the AmoriteH567, and the JebusiteH2983. 11BeholdH2009, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of 7the LordH136 of allH3605 the earthH776 is crossingH5674 overH5674 aheadH6440 of you into the JordanH3383. 12NowH6258 then, 8takeH3947 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 menH376 from the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, oneH259 manH376 for eachH376H259 tribeH7626. 13And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 when the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 who carryH5375 the arkH727 of the LordH3068, the LordH136 of allH3605 the earthH776, restH5117 in the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 will be cutH3772 offH3772, that is, the watersH4325 which are 9flowingH3381 downH3381 from aboveH4480H4605; and they will 10standH5975 in oneH259 heapH5067.”

14So when the peopleH5971 setH5265 outH5265 from their tentsH168 to crossH5674 the JordanH3383, with the priestsH3548 carryingH5375 11the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971, 15and when those who were carryingH5375 the arkH727 cameH935 up to the JordanH3383 and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 carryingH5375 the arkH727 12steppedH2881 downH2881 into the edgeH7097 of the waterH4325 (for the 13JordanH3383 overflowsH4390H5921 allH3605 its banksH1415 allH3605 the daysH3117 of harvestH7105),
