YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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.
And
Joshua
riseth
early in
the morning ,
and they journey
from
Shittim,
and
come
in
unto
the Jordan, he
and
all
the
sons
of
Israel,
and
they lodge
there
before they
pass
over.
After
three days the officers
went
through
the camp
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
end
of
three days ,
that
the authorities
pass
over
into
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 command
the people ,
saying,
`
When ye
see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
your God ,
and
the priests, the
Levites,
bearing
it,
then
ye
journey
from your place,
and have
gone
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
. ”
only,
a distance is
between
you
and
it,
about two thousand cubits by
measure;
ye
do not come
near unto
it, so that ye
know
the way in
which
ye
go, for
ye
have not
passed
over
in
the
way heretofore
. '
Then
Joshua told
the people, “Consecrate
yourselves, for tomorrow
the
LORD
will
do wonders among
you
. ”
And
Joshua saith
unto
the people, `Sanctify
yourselves, for to-morrow
doth
Jehovah
do in
your
midst
wonders. '
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
.
And Joshua
speaketh
unto
the priests, saying,
`
Take up
the ark of the covenant ,
and pass
over
before
the people ;'
and
they take
up
the ark of the covenant ,
and go
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 .
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Joshua, `This
day
I begin to make
thee
great
in the eyes
of all Israel, so that
they know that as I was with Moses I
am
with
thee;
Command the priests carrying
the ark of the covenant :
‘
When you
reach
the edge
of the waters ,
stand
in the Jordan. ’”
and
thou,
thou
dost
command the priests bearing
the ark of the covenant ,
saying,
When ye
come
unto
the extremity
of the waters of
the
Jordan
--
in the Jordan ye
stand
. '
So
Joshua told
the Israelites
, “
Come here
and listen
to
the words of the
LORD
your God .”
And
Joshua saith
unto
the sons
of
Israel
, `
Come nigh
hither,
and hear
the words of Jehovah
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.
and
Joshua
saith
, `By
this ye
know that the living God `
is '
in
your
midst,
and He doth
certainly
dispossess
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 .
lo
, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is
passing
over
before
you into Jordan ;
Now choose
twelve men from
the tribes of Israel, one from
each
tribe .
and
now ,
take
for
you
twelve men out
of
the tribes of Israel, one man
--
one
man
for
a
tribe ;
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. ”
and
it
hath
been,
at
the resting
of
the
soles
of
the
feet of the priests bearing
the ark of Jehovah,
Lord of all the earth ,
in the waters of the Jordan, the
waters of
the
Jordan
are
cut off --
the
waters
which
are
coming
down
from
above
--
and they
stand --
one
heap. '
So
when
the people broke
camp
to cross
the Jordan, the priests carried
the ark of the covenant ahead
of
them.
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
the journeying
of
the
people from
their
tents
to pass
over
the Jordan, and
of
the priests bearing
the ark of the covenant 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
at
those
bearing
the ark
coming
in
unto
the
Jordan ,
and
the feet
of
the priests bearing
the ark have
been
dipped
in
the extremity
of
the
waters
(
and the Jordan
is
full
over
all
its
banks
all
the
days
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
stand;
those
coming
down
from
above
have
risen
--
one
heap,
very
far above
Adam the city
, which
`is'
at
the side
of
Zaretan;
and
those
going
down
by
the sea of the plain,
the Salt Sea ,
have
been
completely cut off ;
and
the people have
passed
through
over -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.
and
the priests bearing
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
stand
on dry ground in the midst
of the Jordan --
established
, and
all Israel are
passing
over on
dry ground till
that
all
the nation hath
completed
to
pass
over
the Jordan.
