1Now whenH3512 the entireH3605 nationH1471 had finishedH8552 crossingH5674 the 1JordanH3383, the LordH3068 spokeH559 to JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,

2“2TakeH3947 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 menH376 from the peopleH5971, oneH259 manH376 from eachH376H259 tribeH7626,

3and commandH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘TakeH5375 upH5375 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 from hereH2088 out of the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, from the placeH4673 whereH4673 the priests’H3548 feetH7272 are standingH4673 firmlyH3559, and carryH5674 them overH5674 with you and layH5117 them downH5117 in 3the encampmentH4411 whereH4673 you will spendH3885 the nightH3915.’”
