Joshua 4

4:1

And it came to pass, when all the people
<01471>

were clean
<08552> (8804)

passed over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_,

that the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

4:2

Take
<03947> (8798)

you twelve
<08147> <06240>

men
<0582>

out of the people
<05971>_,

out of every
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

a man
<0376>_,

4:3

And command
<06680> (8761)

ye them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take
<05375> (8798)

you hence out of the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

out of the place where the priests
<03548>_'

feet
<07272>

stood
<04673>

firm
<03559> (8687)_,

twelve
<08147> <06240>

stones
<068>_,

and ye shall carry them over
<05674> (8689)

with you, and leave
<03240> (8689)

them in the lodging place
<04411>_,

where ye shall lodge
<03885> (8799)

this night
<03915>_.

4:4

Then Joshua
<03091>

called
<07121> (8799)

the twelve
<08147> <06240>

men
<0376>_,

whom he had prepared
<03559> (8689)

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

out of every
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

a man
<0376>_:

4:5

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Pass over
<05674> (8798)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

into the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

and take ye up
<07311> (8685)

every
<0259>

man
<0376>

of you a stone
<068>

upon his shoulder
<07926>_,

according unto the number
<04557>

of the tribes
<07626>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_:

4:6

That this may be a sign
<0226>

among
<07130>

you, [that] when your children
<01121>

ask
<07592> (8799)

[their fathers] in time to come
<04279>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What [mean] ye by these stones
<068>_?

{in time...: Heb. to morrow}

4:7

Then ye shall answer
<0559> (8804)

them, That the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

were cut off
<03772> (8738)

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

when it passed over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_,

the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

were cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

and these stones
<068>

shall be for a memorial
<02146>

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_.

4:8

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

so as Joshua
<03091>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

and took up
<05375> (8799)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

stones
<068>

out of the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

according to the number
<04557>

of the tribes
<07626>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and carried them over
<05674> (8686)

with them unto the place where they lodged
<04411>_,

and laid them down
<03240> (8686)

there.

4:9

And Joshua
<03091>

set up
<06965> (8689)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

stones
<068>

in the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

in the place where the feet
<07272>

of the priests
<03548>

which bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

stood
<04673>_:

and they are there unto this day
<03117>_.

4:10

For the priests
<03548>

which bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

stood
<05975> (8802)

in the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

until every thing
<01697>

was finished
<08552> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Joshua
<03091>

to speak
<01696> (8763)

unto the people
<05971>_,

according to all that Moses
<04872>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

Joshua
<03091>_:

and the people
<05971>

hasted
<04116> (8762)

and passed over
<05674> (8799)_.

4:11

And it came to pass, when all the people
<05971>

were clean
<08552> (8804)

passed over
<05674> (8800)_,

that the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

passed over
<05674> (8799)_,

and the priests
<03548>_,

in the presence
<06440>

of the people
<05971>_.

4:12

And the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and half
<02677>

the tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

passed over
<05674> (8799)

armed
<02571>

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as Moses
<04872>

spake
<01696> (8765)

unto them:

4:13

About forty
<0705>

thousand
<0505>

prepared
<02502> (8803)

for war
<06635>

passed over
<05674> (8804)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

unto battle
<04421>_,

to the plains
<06160>

of Jericho
<03405>_.

{prepared: or, ready armed}

4:14

On that day
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

magnified
<01431> (8765)

Joshua
<03091>

in the sight
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>_;

and they feared
<03372> (8799)

him, as they feared
<03372> (8804)

Moses
<04872>_,

all the days
<03117>

of his life
<02416>_.

4:15

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

4:16

Command
<06680> (8761)

the priests
<03548>

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the testimony
<05715>_,

that they come up
<05927> (8799)

out of Jordan
<03383>_.

4:17

Joshua
<03091>

therefore commanded
<06680> (8762)

the priests
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Come ye up
<05927> (8798)

out of Jordan
<03383>_.

4:18

And it came to pass, when the priests
<03548>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

were come up
<05927> (8800)

out of the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

[and] the soles
<03709>

of the priests
<03548>_'

feet
<07272>

were lifted up
<05423> (8738)

unto the dry land
<02724>_,

that the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

returned
<07725> (8799)

unto their place
<04725>_,

and flowed
<03212> (8799)

over all his banks
<01415>_,

as
<08543>

[they did] before
<08032>_.

{lifted...: Heb. plucked up} {flowed: Heb. went}

4:19

And the people
<05971>

came up
<05927> (8804)

out of Jordan
<03383>

on the tenth
<06218>

[day] of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

in Gilgal
<01537>_,

in the east
<04217>

border
<07097>

of Jericho
<03405>_.

4:20

And those twelve
<08147> <06240>

stones
<068>_,

which they took out
<03947> (8804)

of Jordan
<03383>_,

did Joshua
<03091>

pitch
<06965> (8689)

in Gilgal
<01537>_.

4:21

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When your children
<01121>

shall ask
<07592> (8799)

their fathers
<01>

in time to come
<04279>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What [mean] these stones
<068>_?

{in time...: Heb. to morrow}

4:22

Then ye shall let your children
<01121>

know
<03045> (8689)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Israel
<03478>

came over
<05674> (8804)

this Jordan
<03383>

on dry land
<03004>_.

4:23

For the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

dried up
<03001> (8689)

the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

from before
<06440>

you, until ye were passed over
<05674> (8800)_,

as the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

did
<06213> (8804)

to the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_,

which he dried up
<03001> (8689)

from before
<06440>

us, until we were gone over
<05674> (8800)_:

4:24

That all the people
<05971>

of the earth
<0776>

might know
<03045> (8800)

the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that it [is] mighty
<02389>_:

that ye might fear
<03372> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

for ever
<03117>_.

{for ever: Heb. all days}
