1

Then Joshuah3091 roseh7925 earlyh7925 in the morningh1242; and he and allh3605 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 seth5265 out from  aShittimh7851 and cameh935 to the Jordanh3383, and they lodgedh3885a thereh8033 beforeh2962 they crossedh5674a.

2

 aAt the endh7097a of threeh7969 daysh3117 the officersh7860 wenth5674a throughh5674a the midsth7130 of the camph4264;

3

and they commandedh6680 the peopleh5971a, sayingh559, "When you seeh7200 the  aarkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430 with the Leviticalh3881 priestsh3548 carryingh5375 it, then you shall seth5265 out from your placeh4725 and goh1980 afterh310 it.

4

"Howeverh389, there shall be betweenh996 you and it a distanceh7350 of about 2,000h505  1cubitsh520 by measureh4060a. Do not comeh7126 nearh7126 it, that you may knowh3045 the wayh1870 by whichh834 you shall goh1980, for you have not passedh5674a this wayh1870 beforeh4480h8543h8032a."

5

Then Joshuah3091 saidh559 to the peopleh5971a, " aConsecrateh6942 yourselves, for tomorrowh4279 the LORDh3068 will doh6213a wondersh6381 amongh7130 you."

6

And Joshuah3091 spokeh559 to the priestsh3548, sayingh559, "Takeh5375 up the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 and crossh5674a overh5674a aheadh6440 of the peopleh5971a." So they tookh5375 up the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 and wenth1980 aheadh6440 of the peopleh5971a.

7

Now the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Joshuah3091, "Thish2088 dayh3117 I will beginh2490c to  aexalth1431 you in the sighth5869 of allh3605 Israelh3478, that they may knowh3045 that justh3512c as I have beenh1961 with Mosesh4872, I will be with you.

8

"You shall, moreover, commandh6680 the priestsh3548 who are carryingh5375 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285, sayingh559, `When you comeh935 to the edgeh7097a of the watersh4325 of the Jordanh3383, you shall standh5975 still in the Jordanh3383.' "

9

Then Joshuah3091 saidh559 to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, "Comeh5066 hereh2008, and hearh8085 the wordsh1697 of the LORDh3068 your Godh430."

10

Joshuah3091 saidh559, "By thish2088 you shall knowh3045 that  athe livingh2416a Godh410 is amongh7130 you, and that He will assuredlyh3423  bdispossessh3423 from beforeh6440 you the Canaaniteh3669a, the Hittiteh2850, the Hiviteh2340, the Perizziteh6522, the Girgashiteh1622, the Amoriteh567, and the Jebusiteh2983.

11

"Beholdh2009, the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of  athe Lordh136 of allh3605 the earthh776 is crossingh5674a overh5674a aheadh6440 of you into the Jordanh3383.

12

"Nowh6258 then,  atakeh3947 for yourselves twelveh8147h6240 menh376 from the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478, oneh259 manh376 for eachh376h259 tribeh7626.

13

"It shall comeh1961 about when the solesh3709 of the feeth7272 of the priestsh3548 who carryh5375 the arkh727 of the LORDh3068, the Lordh136 of allh3605 the earthh776, resth5117 in the watersh4325 of the Jordanh3383, the watersh4325 of the Jordanh3383 will be cuth3772 offh3772, and the watersh4325 which are  1flowingh3381 downh3381 from aboveh4480h4605  2will  astandh5975 in oneh259 heaph5067a."

14

So when the peopleh5971a seth5265 out from their tentsh168 to crossh5674a the Jordanh3383 with the priestsh3548 carryingh5375  athe arkh727 of the covenanth1285 beforeh6440 the peopleh5971a,

15

and when those who carriedh5375 the arkh727 cameh935 into the Jordanh3383, and the feeth7272 of the priestsh3548 carryingh5375 the arkh727 were dippedh2881 in the edgeh7097a of the waterh4325 (for the  aJordanh3383 overflowsh4390h5921 allh3605 its banksh1415 allh3605 the daysh3117 of harvesth7105a),

16

 athe watersh4325 which were  1flowingh3381 downh3381 from aboveh4480h4605 stoodh5975 and roseh6965 up in  boneh259 heaph5067a, a greath3966 distanceh7368 away at Adamh121, the cityh5892b that is besideh4480h6654 Zarethanh6891; and those which were  1flowingh3381 downh3381 towardh5921 the seah3220 of the  cArabahh6160, the Salth4417 Seah3220, were completelyh8552 cuth3772 offh3772. So the peopleh5971a crossedh5674a oppositeh5048 Jerichoh3405.

17

And the priestsh3548 who carriedh5375 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068 stoodh5975 firmh5975  aon dryh2724 groundh2724 in the middleh8432 of the Jordanh3383 while allh3605 Israelh3478 crossedh5674a on dryh2724 groundh2724, untilh5704h834 allh3605 the nationh1471 had finishedh8552 crossingh5674a the Jordanh3383.
