Young's Literal Translation
When the whole
nation had
finished
crossing
the Jordan, the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
And
it
cometh
to
pass,
when all
the nation hath
completed
to
pass
over
the Jordan, that
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Joshua, saying,
“Choose
twelve
men
from
among
the people, one from
each
tribe ,
`Take
for
you
out
of
the people twelve
men
, one man
--
one
man
out
of
a
tribe ;
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. ’”
and command ye
them ,
saying,
Take up for you
from this
`place',
from
the midst
of the Jordan ,
from
the established
standing -place
of
the
feet
of
the
priests
, twelve
stones,
and
ye
have
removed
them over
with you, and placed
them in the lodging-
place in
which
ye
lodge
to-
night. '
So
Joshua summoned
the twelve men he had
appointed
from
the Israelites
, one from
each
tribe ,
And
Joshua calleth
unto
the twelve men whom
he prepared
out
of
the sons
of
Israel
, one man
--
one
man
out
of
a
tribe ;
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,
and Joshua
saith
to them, `Pass
over before the ark of Jehovah
your God unto
the midst
of the Jordan and
lift
up
for
you each,
one
stone on
his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the
sons
of
Israel,
to
serve
as
a sign among
you.
In the
future
, when your children ask, ‘
What do
these stones mean
to you? ’
so
that
this
is
a sign in your
midst
, when your children ask hereafter
, saying,
What `are'
these stones to you?
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
. ”
that
ye
have
said
to them, Because
the waters of the Jordan were cut off ,
at
the presence
of
the
ark of the covenant of Jehovah;
in
its
passing
over
into
the Jordan were
the waters of
the
Jordan
cut off ;
and
these stones have
been
for
a memorial to the sons
of
Israel
--
to
the
age
. '
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
the sons
of
Israel
do
so
as Joshua commanded ,
and
take
up twelve stones out
of
the midst
of the Jordan, as
Jehovah
hath
spoken
unto
Joshua,
according
to
the
number
of the
tribes
of
the
sons
of
Israel, and remove
them over
with
them
unto
the lodging-place
, and
place
them there,
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.
even
the
twelve stones hath
Joshua
raised
up
out
of
the midst
of the Jordan, the place of
the standing
of
the
feet
of
the
priests bearing
the ark of the covenant ,
and they
are there unto
this day.
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
the priests bearing
the ark are
standing in the midst
of the Jordan till
the completion
of
the whole
thing
which
Jehovah
commanded Joshua to speak
unto
the
people
, according
to
all
that
Moses commanded
Joshua ,
and
the people haste
and
pass
over.
and after
everyone
had
finished
crossing,
the priests
with
the ark of the LORD
crossed
in the sight
of the people .
And it
cometh
to
pass
when
all
the people
have
completed
to
pass
over,
that
the ark of Jehovah
passeth
over,
and
the priests,
in the presence
of the people ;
The Reubenites
, the Gadites
, and the half -
tribe of Manasseh crossed
over before the Israelites
, armed
for
battle
as Moses had instructed
them .
and
the sons
of
Reuben
, and
the sons
of
Gad
, and the half of
the
tribe of Manasseh ,
pass
over ,
by
fifties,
before the sons
of
Israel
, as Moses had spoken
unto
them ;
About 40
, 000
troops
armed for
battle
crossed
over before the
LORD
into
the plains of Jericho.
about forty
thousand
, armed ones
of
the
host,
passed
over before Jehovah
for
battle,
unto
the plains of Jericho.
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
.
On that day hath
Jehovah
made
Joshua great
in the eyes
of all Israel, and they reverence
him ,
as
they
reverenced
Moses,
all days of his life.
Then
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
And
Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Joshua, saying,
“
Command the priests who
carry
the ark of the Testimony to
come up from
the Jordan. ”
`
Command the priests bearing
the ark of the testimony ,
and
they
come up out
of
the Jordan. '
So
Joshua commanded
the priests, “
Come up from
the Jordan. ”
And
Joshua commandeth
the priests, saying,
`
Come ye
up out
of
the Jordan. '
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
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
the coming
up
of
the
priests bearing
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
out of the midst
of
the
Jordan --
the
soles
of
the
feet of
the priests
have
been
drawn
up
into
the
dry ground
--
and
the waters of the Jordan turn
back
to their place,
and go
as
heretofore
over
all its
banks.
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
the
people
have
come
up
out
of
the
Jordan
on the tenth of the first month ,
and encamp
in
Gilgal ,
in
the extremity
east
of Jericho ;
And there
at
Gilgal
Joshua
set
up
the
twelve stones they had
taken from
the Jordan.
and these
twelve stones ,
which
they have
taken out
of
the Jordan ,
hath
Joshua
raised
up
in
Gilgal
.
Then
Joshua
said
to
the Israelites
, “In
the
future
, when your children
ask their fathers, ‘
What is
the
meaning
of
these stones? ’
And
he
speaketh
unto
the sons
of
Israel
, saying
, `
When your sons
ask their fathers hereafter
, saying,
What `are'
these stones?
you
are
to tell
them
, ‘Israel
crossed
the
Jordan
on dry ground.’
then
ye
have
caused
your
sons
to know
, saying,
On dry land
Israel
passed
over
this
Jordan;
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 .
because
Jehovah
your God dried up the waters of the Jordan at
your
presence,
till
your
passing
over, as Jehovah
your
God
did to the Red Sea which He dried up at
our
presence
till
our
passing
over ;
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. ”
so that all the people
of the land
do
know the hand of Jehovah
that
it
`
is '
strong
, so that ye
have
reverenced
Jehovah
your God all
the
days
. '
