Berean Standard Bible
And
it
came
to
pass,
when all
the people
were
clean
passed
over
Jordan, that
the LORD spake
unto
Joshua, saying,
When the whole
nation
had
finished
crossing
the
Jordan, the LORD said
to
Joshua,
Take
you
twelve men out
of
the people, out
of
every
tribe a
man
,
“Choose
twelve men from
among
the people, one
from
each
tribe,
And command ye
them ,
saying,
Take you
hence
out
of
the midst
of
Jordan,
out
of the place
where the priests '
feet
stood
firm,
twelve
stones
, and
ye
shall
carry them over
with you, and leave
them in the lodging
place ,
where ye
shall
lodge
this
night.
and command them :
‘
Take up
for
yourselves
twelve
stones
from
the middle
of the Jordan
where the priests were
standing
, carry them with you, and set
them down
in the place where you
spend
the
night. ’”
Then
Joshua called
the twelve men ,
whom
he had prepared
of
the children
of
Israel
, out
of
every
tribe a
man:
So
Joshua summoned
the twelve men he had appointed
from
the Israelites
, one
from
each
tribe ,
And Joshua
said unto
them, Pass
over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst
of Jordan ,
and
take
you
up
every
man
of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto
the number of the tribes of the
children
of
Israel :
and said to
them, “Cross
over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle
of the
Jordan .
Each
of you is
to
take
a stone upon his shoulder, according to
the number of the tribes of Israel ,
That
this
may
be
a sign among you, that
when your children ask their
fathers
in
time
to
come
, saying,
What mean
ye
by
these stones?
to
serve
as
a sign among you .
In
the
future
, when your children ask, ‘
What do
these stones mean
to
you
? ’
Then
ye
shall
answer
them, That
the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD ;
when it passed
over
Jordan, the waters of
Jordan
were cut off :
and
these stones shall
be for
a memorial unto
the children
of
Israel
for
ever
.
you
are
to
tell
them, ‘
The waters of the
Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD .
When it crossed
the
Jordan, the waters were cut off .’
Therefore
these stones will
be a memorial to
the Israelites
forever
. ”
And
the children
of
Israel
did so
as Joshua commanded ,
and
took up twelve stones out
of
the midst
of Jordan, as the LORD spake
unto
Joshua ,
according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel,
and carried them over
with
them
unto
the place
where they lodged,
and
laid
them down there
.
Thus
the Israelites
did as Joshua had
commanded them.
They
took up twelve stones from
the middle
of the
Jordan, one
for
each
tribe
of
Israel,
just
as the LORD had
told
Joshua ;
and they
carried them to
the camp,
where they set
them down.
And
Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst
of Jordan, in the place where the feet
of
the
priests which
bare
the ark of the covenant stood :
and they
are there unto
this day.
Joshua also
set up twelve stones in the middle
of the
Jordan, in the place where the priests who
carried
the ark of the covenant stood .
And the
stones
are there to
this day.
For
the priests which
bare
the ark stood
in the midst
of Jordan ,
until everything was
finished
that
the LORD commanded Joshua to speak
unto
the
people
, according
to
all
that
Moses commanded
Joshua :
and
the people hasted
and
passed
over.
Now
the priests who
carried
the ark remained
standing
in the middle
of the
Jordan until the
people
had
completed
everything the LORD had
commanded Joshua to tell
them
, just
as
Moses had
directed
Joshua .
The people hurried
across,
And it
came
to
pass
, when
all
the people
were
clean
passed
over,
that
the ark of the LORD passed
over,
and
the
priests,
in the presence
of the people.
and after
everyone
had
finished
crossing
, the priests
with
the ark of the LORD crossed
in the sight
of the people.
And
the children
of
Reuben
, and
the children
of
Gad
, and half
the tribe of Manasseh ,
passed
over armed
before the children
of
Israel
, as Moses spake
unto
them :
The Reubenites
, the Gadites
, and the half-
tribe of Manasseh crossed
over before the Israelites
, armed
for
battle
as Moses had
instructed
them .
About forty
thousand
prepared
for war
passed
over before the LORD unto
battle,
to
the plains of Jericho.
About 40,000
troops
armed
for battle
crossed
over before the LORD into
the plains of Jericho.
On that day the LORD magnified
Joshua in the sight of all Israel ;
and they feared
him ,
as
they
feared
Moses,
all the days of his life.
On that day the LORD exalted
Joshua in the sight of all Israel ,
and they revered
him all the days of his life ,
just
as
they
had
revered
Moses
.
And
the LORD spake
unto
Joshua, saying,
Then
the LORD said
to
Joshua,
Command the priests that
bear
the ark of the testimony ,
that
they
come up out
of
Jordan.
“
Command the priests who
carry
the ark of the Testimony to
come up from
the
Jordan. ”
Joshua therefore
commanded the priests, saying,
Come ye
up out
of
Jordan.
So
Joshua commanded the priests, “
Come up from
the
Jordan. ”
And
it
came
to
pass,
when the priests that
bare
the ark of the covenant of the LORD were
come
up out of the midst
of
Jordan ,
and the
soles
of
the
priests'
feet were
lifted
up
unto
the dry land, that
the waters of Jordan returned unto
their place,
and flowed
over
all his
banks ,
as they
did
before.
When the priests carrying
the ark of the covenant of the LORD came
up out of the Jordan and their
feet touched
the dry land, the waters of the
Jordan returned to
their course
and overflowed
all the
banks as before.
And
the
people
came
up
out
of
Jordan
on the tenth day of the first month ,
and encamped
in
Gilgal ,
in
the east
border of Jericho.
On the tenth day of the first month the
people
went
up
from
the
Jordan
and camped
at
Gilgal on
the eastern
border of Jericho.
And those
twelve stones ,
which
they took
out
of
Jordan ,
did
Joshua
pitch
in
Gilgal
.
And there
at
Gilgal
Joshua
set
up
the
twelve stones they had
taken
from
the
Jordan.
And
he
spake
unto
the children
of
Israel
, saying
, When your children shall
ask their fathers in
time
to
come
, saying,
What mean
these stones?
Then
Joshua
said
to
the Israelites
, “In
the
future
, when your children ask their fathers, ‘
What is
the
meaning
of
these stones? ’
Then
ye
shall
let
your
children
know,
saying
, Israel came
over
this
Jordan on dry land
.
you
are
to
tell
them
, ‘
Israel crossed
the
Jordan on dry ground
. ’
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from
before you ,
until ye
were
passed
over, as the
LORD
your
God
did to the Red sea, which he dried up from
before us ,
until we were
gone
over :
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the
Jordan before you until you
had
crossed
over, just
as He
did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had
crossed
over .
That all the people
of the earth might
know the hand of the LORD ,
that
it
is mighty :
that ye
might
fear the LORD your God for
ever
.
He
did
this
so
that all the peoples
of the earth may
know that
the hand of the LORD is mighty ,
and
so
that you
may
always
fear the LORD your God. ”
