Early the next
morning Joshua
got
up
and left
Shittim
with
all
the
Israelites.
They went
as
far
as
the Jordan, where
they camped
before crossing
over.
Joshua
rose
up
early in
the morning ;
and they removed
from
Shittim,
and
came
to
the Jordan, he
and
all
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they lodged
there
before they
passed
over.
After three days the officers went through the camp
It
happened
after three days ,
that
the officers went through the midst
of
the
camp ;
and commanded the people :
“
When you see the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
your God being
carried
by
the Levitical
priests, you are
to
set
out
from your positions
and follow
it.
and they
commanded the people ,
saying,
When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh
your God ,
and
the priests the
Levites
bearing
it
, then
you shall
remove
from your place,
and go
after
it.
But
keep
a distance
of
about two thousand cubits between
yourselves
and
the
ark.
Do
not
go
near it, so
that you can
see
the way to
go ,
since
you have never
traveled
this way before
. ”
Yet
there
shall
be
a space
between
you
and
it,
about two thousand cubits by
measure:
don't
come
near to
it, that you may
know
the way by
which
you
must
go ;
for
you have not
passed
this way heretofore
.
Then
Joshua told
the people, “Consecrate
yourselves ,
for tomorrow the
LORD
will do wonders among you. ”
Joshua said
to
the people, Sanctify
yourselves ;
for tomorrow Yahweh
will do wonders among you.
And
he
said
to the priests, “
Take the ark of the covenant and go
on
ahead
of
the people. ”
So
they carried
the ark of the covenant and went ahead
of
them
.
Joshua
spoke
to the priests, saying,
Take up
the ark of the covenant ,
and pass
over
before
the people. They took
up
the ark of the covenant ,
and went before
the
people
.
Now
the
LORD
said to Joshua, “Today
I
will begin to exalt
you in the sight of all Israel, so
they may know that I
am
with
you
just
as I was with Moses.
Yahweh
said to Joshua, This
day
will I
begin to magnify
you in the sight of all Israel, that
they may know that ,
as I was with Moses ,
so
I
will
be
with
you
.
Command the priests carrying
the ark of the covenant :
‘
When you reach
the edge
of the waters, stand in the Jordan. ’”
You
shall
command the priests who
bear
the ark of the covenant ,
saying,
When you are
come
to
the brink
of the waters of
the
Jordan
, you
shall
stand still
in the Jordan.
So
Joshua told
the Israelites
, “
Come here and listen
to
the words of the
LORD
your God. ”
Joshua said
to
the children
of
Israel
, Come here ,
and hear
the words of Yahweh
your God.
He
continued
, “This
is
how
you will
know that the living God is among you and that He will surely
drive out before you the Canaanites
, Hittites
, Hivites
, Perizzites
, Girgashites
, Amorites
, and Jebusites
.
Joshua
said
, Hereby
you shall
know that the living God is among you ,
and that he will without
fail
drive out from
before you the Canaanite
, and
the
Hittite
, and
the
Hivite
, and
the
Perizzite
, and
the
Girgashite
, and
the
Amorite
, and the
Jebusite
.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will
go
ahead
of
you into the Jordan.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes
over
before
you into the Jordan.
Now choose
twelve men from
the tribes of Israel, one
from
each
tribe.
Now therefore
take
twelve men out
of
the tribes of Israel, for
every
tribe a
man
.
When the feet of the priests who carry
the ark of the
LORD—
the Lord of all the earth —touch
down
in the waters of the Jordan, its
flowing
waters will
be cut off and will
stand up
in a
heap. ”
It
shall
come
to
pass,
when the soles
of
the
feet of the priests who bear
the ark of Yahweh,
the Lord of all the earth ,
shall
rest
in the waters of the Jordan, that
the
waters of
the
Jordan
shall
be cut off ,
even
the
waters
that
come
down
from
above;
and they
shall
stand in one
heap.
So
when the people broke
camp
to cross
the Jordan, the priests carried
the ark of the covenant ahead
of
them.
It
happened,
when the people removed
from
their
tents,
to pass
over
the Jordan, the priests who
bore
the ark of the covenant being
before
the
people;
Now
the Jordan overflows
its
banks
throughout
the harvest
season.
But
as
soon
as
the priests carrying
the ark reached
the Jordan and
their
feet
touched
the water’s
edge
,
and
when
those
who
bore
the ark
were
come
to
the
Jordan ,
and
the feet
of
the priests who
bore
the ark were
dipped
in
the brink
of
the
water
(for
the
Jordan overflows
all
its
banks
all
the time
of
harvest)
,
the flowing
water
stood still.
It
backed
up as
far
upstream
as
Adam
, a city
in
the
area
of
Zarethan
, while
the water
flowing
toward the Sea of the Arabah (
the Salt Sea )
was
completely
cut off .
So
the people crossed
over opposite
Jericho.
that
the waters
which
came
down
from
above
stood ,
and
rose
up in
one
heap
, a great
way
off
, at
Adam,
the city
that
is
beside
Zarethan;
and
those
that
went
down
toward the sea of the Arabah ,
even
the Salt Sea ,
were
wholly
cut off :
and
the people passed
over right
against
Jericho.
The priests carrying
the ark of the covenant of the
LORD
stood firm on dry ground in the middle
of the Jordan ,
while
all Israel crossed
over the
dry ground, until the entire
nation had
crossed
the Jordan.
The priests who
bore
the ark of the covenant of Yahweh
stood firm on dry ground in the midst
of the Jordan ;
and
all Israel passed
over on
dry ground, until all
the nation were
passed
clean
over
the Jordan.
