And Joshua{H3091} rose up early{H7925} in the morning;{H1242} and they removed{H5265} from Shittim,{H7851} and came{H935} to the Jordan,{H3383} he and all the children{H1121} of Israel;{H3478} and they lodged{H3885} there before they passed over.{H5674}

And it came to pass after{H7097} three{H7969} days,{H3117} that the officers{H7860} went{H5674} through{H7130} the midst of the camp;{H4264}

and they commanded{H6680} the people,{H5971} saying,{H559} When ye see{H7200} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah{H3068} your God,{H430} and the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} bearing{H5375} it, then ye shall remove{H5265} from your place,{H4725} and go{H1980} after{H310} it.

Yet there shall be a space{H7350} between you and it, about two thousand{H505} cubits{H520} by measure:{H4060} come not near{H7126} unto it, that ye may know{H3045} the way{H1870} by which ye must go;{H3212} for ye have not passed{H5674} this way{H1870} heretofore.{H8543}

And Joshua{H3091} said{H559} unto the people,{H5971} Sanctify{H6942} yourselves; for to-morrow{H4279} Jehovah{H3068} will do{H6213} wonders{H6381} among{H7130} you.

And Joshua{H3091} spake{H559} unto the priests,{H3548} saying,{H559} Take up{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant,{H1285} and pass over{H5674} before{H6440} the people.{H5971} And they took up{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant,{H1285} and went{H3212} before{H6440} the people.{H5971}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Joshua,{H3091} This day{H3117} will I begin{H2490} to magnify{H1431} thee in the sight{H5869} of all Israel,{H3478} that they may know{H3045} that, as I was with Moses,{H4872} so I will be with thee.

And thou shalt command{H6680} the priests{H3548} that bear{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant,{H1285} saying,{H559} When ye are come{H935} to the brink{H7097} of the waters{H4325} of the Jordan,{H3383} ye shall stand still{H5975} in the Jordan.{H3383}

And Joshua{H3091} said{H559} unto the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} Come hither,{H5066} and hear{H8085} the words{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} your God.{H430}

And Joshua{H3091} said,{H559} Hereby ye shall know{H3045} that the living{H2416} God{H410} is among{H7130} you, and that he will without fail{H3423} drive out{H3423} from before{H6440} you the Canaanite,{H3669} and the Hittite,{H2850} and the Hivite,{H2340} and the Perizzite,{H6522} and the Girgashite,{H1622} and the Amorite,{H567} and the Jebusite.{H2983}

Behold, the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of the Lord{H113} of all the earth{H776} passeth over{H5674} before{H6440} you into the Jordan.{H3383}

Now therefore take{H3947} you twelve{H8147} men{H376} out of the tribes{H7626} of Israel,{H3478} for every{H259} tribe{H7626} a man.{H376}

And it shall come to pass, when the soles{H3709} of the feet{H7272} of the priests{H3548} that bear{H5375} the ark{H727} of Jehovah,{H3068} the Lord{H3068} of all the earth,{H776} shall rest{H5117} in the waters{H4325} of the Jordan,{H3383} that the waters{H4325} of the Jordan{H3383} shall be cut off,{H3772} even the waters{H4325} that come down{H3381} from above;{H4605} and they shall stand{H5975} in one{H259} heap.{H5067}

And it came to pass, when the people{H5971} removed{H5265} from their tents,{H168} to pass over{H5674} the Jordan,{H3383} the priests{H3548} that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} being before{H6440} the people;{H5971}

and when they that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} were come{H935} unto the Jordan,{H3383} and the feet{H7272} of the priests{H3548} that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} were dipped{H2881} in the brink{H7097} of the water{H4325} (for the Jordan{H3383} overfloweth{H4390} all its banks{H1415} all the time{H3117} of harvest,){H7105}

that the waters{H4325} which came down{H3381} from above{H4605} stood,{H5975} and{H259} rose up{H6965} in one{H259} heap,{H5067} a great{H3966} way off,{H7368} at Adam,{H121} the city{H5892} that is beside{H6654} Zarethan;{H6891} and those that went down{H3381} toward the sea{H3220} of the Arabah,{H6160} even the Salt{H4417} Sea,{H3220} were wholly cut off:{H3772} and the people{H5971} passed over{H5674} right against Jericho.{H3405}

And the priests{H3548} that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah{H3068} stood{H5975} firm{H3559} on dry ground{H2724} in the midst{H8432} of the Jordan;{H3383} and all Israel{H3478} passed over{H5674} on dry ground,{H2724} until all the nation{H1471} were passed{H5674} clean{H8552} over{H5674} the Jordan.{H3383}
