1And it cameH1961 to passH5674, when allH3605 the nationH1471 were clean passedH5674 over JordanH3383, that the LORDH3068 spake unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, 2TakeH3947 youH4480 twelveH6240 menH376 outH4480 of the peopleH5971, outH4480 of everyH376 tribeH7626 a manH376, 3and commandH6680 ye them, sayingH559, TakeH5375 youH834 hence outH3559 of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, outH3559 of the placeH4411 whereH834 the priests’H3548 feetH7272 stoodH4673 firmH3559, twelveH6240 stonesH68, and carryH5375 them over with youH834, and lay them downH6680 in the lodgingH4411 placeH4411, whereH834 ye shall lodge this nightH3915. 4Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the twelveH6240 menH376, whomH834 he had preparedH3559 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, outH413 of everyH376 tribeH7626 a manH376: 5and JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, PassH5674 over beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 intoH413 the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and takeH7311 youH6440 upH7311 everyH376 manH376 of youH6440 a stoneH68 uponH5921 his shoulderH7926, accordingH5921 unto the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: 6that this may be a signH226 among youH3588, that when your childrenH1121 askH7592 in time to comeH1961, sayingH559, WhatH4100 mean ye by theseH428 stonesH68? 7then ye shall sayH559 unto them, BecauseH834 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cutH3772 offH3772 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068; when it passedH5674 over JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cutH3772 offH3772: and theseH428 stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for everH5769. 8And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 soH3651 as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and tookH5375 upH5375 twelveH6240 stonesH68 outH413 of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, as the LORDH3068 spake unto JoshuaH3091, accordingH413 to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; and they carriedH5375 them over with them unto the placeH4411 whereH834 they lodged, and laidH6680 them downH6680 there. 9And JoshuaH3091 setH6965 upH6965 twelveH6240 stonesH68 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, in the placeH8478 whereH8033 the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 whichH8033 bare the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 stoodH6965: and they are there, unto this dayH3117. 10For the priestsH3548 whichH834 bare the arkH727 stoodH5975 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, untilH5704 everyH3605 thingH1697 was finishedH8552 that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 to speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, accordingH413 to allH3605 that MosesH4872 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091: and the peopleH5971 hasted and passedH5674 over. 11And it cameH1961 to passH5674, when allH3605 the peopleH5971 were clean passedH5674 over, that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 passedH5674 over, and the priestsH3548, in the presenceH6440 of the peopleH5971. 12And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, passedH5674 over armed beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, as MosesH4872 spake unto them: 13aboutH413 fortyH705 thousandH505 ready armedH2502 for warH4421 passedH5674 over beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 unto battleH4421, to the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. 14On that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 magnifiedH1431 JoshuaH3091 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478; and they fearedH3372 him, as they fearedH3372 MosesH4872, allH3605 the daysH3117 of his lifeH3117. 15And the LORDH3068 spake unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, 16CommandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, that they comeH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of JordanH3383. 17JoshuaH3091 therefore commandedH6680 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, ComeH5927 ye upH5927 outH4480 of JordanH3383. 18And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the priestsH3548 that bare the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 were comeH1961 upH5927 outH5921 of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and the solesH3709 of the priests’H3548 feetH7272 were liftedH5375 upH5927 unto the dryH2724 groundH2724, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 returnedH7725 unto their placeH4725, and wentH5927 over allH3605 itsH3605 banksH1415, as aforetime. 19And the peopleH5971 cameH5927 upH5927 outH4480 of JordanH3383 on the tenthH6218 dayH2320 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537, on the eastH4217 borderH7097 of JerichoH3405. 20And thoseH428 twelveH6240 stonesH68, whichH834 they tookH3947 outH4480 of JordanH3383, didH834 JoshuaH3091 setH6965 upH6965 in GilgalH1537. 21And he spake unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, When your childrenH1121 shall askH7592 their fathersH1 in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, WhatH4100 mean theseH428 stonesH68? 22Then ye shall let your childrenH1121 knowH3045, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 cameH559 over this JordanH3383 on dryH3004 landH3004. 23For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 driedH3001 upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 youH834, untilH5704 ye were passedH5674 over, as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 to the Red SeaH3220, whichH834 he driedH3001 upH3001 from beforeH6440 usH6440, untilH5704 weH834 were passedH5674 over: 24that allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, that it is mightyH2389; that they may fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for ever.
