18And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 were come upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and the solesH3709 of the priests’H3548 feetH7272 were lifted upH5423 unto the dry landH2724, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 returnedH7725 unto their placeH4725, and flowedH3212 over all his banksH1415, asH8543 they did beforeH8032.12

19And the peopleH5971 came upH5927 out of JordanH3383 on the tenthH6218 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537, in the eastH4217 borderH7097 of JerichoH3405. 20And those twelveH6240H8147 stonesH68, which they took outH3947 of JordanH3383, did JoshuaH3091 pitchH6965 in GilgalH1537. 21And he spakeH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, When your childrenH1121 shall askH7592 their fathersH1 in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean these stonesH68?3 22Then ye shall let your childrenH1121 knowH3045, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 came overH5674 this JordanH3383 on dry landH3004. 23For YhwhH3068 your GodH430 dried upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 you, until ye were passed overH5674, as YhwhH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 to the RedH5488 seaH3220, which he dried upH3001 from beforeH6440 us, until we were gone overH5674: 24That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 might knowH3045 the handH3027 of YhwhH3068, that it is mightyH2389: that ye might fearH3372 YhwhH3068 your GodH430 for everH3117.4
