Joshua 3:1-17

3:1

And Joshua
<03091>

rose early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_;

and they removed
<05265> (8799)

from Shittim
<07851>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jordan
<03383>_,

he and all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and lodged
<03885> (8799)

there before they passed over
<05674> (8799)_.

3:2

And it came to pass after
<07097>

three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

that the officers
<07860> (8802)

went
<05674> (8799)

through
<07130>

the host
<04264>_;

3:3

And they commanded
<06680> (8762)

the people
<05971>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When ye see
<07200> (8800)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>

bearing
<05375> (8802)

it, then ye shall remove
<05265> (8799)

from your place
<04725>_,

and go
<01980> (8804)

after
<0310>

it.

3:4

Yet there shall be a space
<07350>

between you and it, about two thousand
<0505>

cubits
<0520>

by measure
<04060>_:

come not near
<07126> (8799)

unto it, that ye may know
<03045> (8799)

the way
<01870>

by which ye must go
<03212> (8799)_:

for ye have not passed
<05674> (8804)

[this] way
<01870>

heretofore
<08543> <08032>_.

{heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}

3:5

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves: for to morrow
<04279>

the LORD
<03068>

will do
<06213> (8799)

wonders
<06381> (8737)

among
<07130>

you.

3:6

And Joshua
<03091>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto the priests
<03548>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take up
<05375> (8798)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

and pass over
<05674> (8798)

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_.

And they took up
<05375> (8799)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_.

3:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

This day
<03117>

will I begin
<02490> (8686)

to magnify
<01431> (8763)

thee in the sight
<05869>

of all Israel
<03478>_,

that they may know
<03045> (8799)

that, as I was with Moses
<04872>_,

[so] I will be with thee.

3:8

And thou shalt command
<06680> (8762)

the priests
<03548>

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When ye are come
<0935> (8800)

to the brink
<07097>

of the water
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

ye shall stand still
<05975> (8799)

in Jordan
<03383>_.

3:9

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Come hither
<05066> (8798)_,

and hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

3:10

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hereby ye shall know
<03045> (8799)

that the living
<02416>

God
<0410>

[is] among
<07130>

you, and [that] he will without fail
<03423> (8687)

drive out
<03423> (8686)

from before
<06440>

you the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

and the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_.

3:11

Behold, the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the Lord
<0113>

of all the earth
<0776>

passeth over
<05674> (8802)

before
<06440>

you into Jordan
<03383>_.

3:12

Now therefore take
<03947> (8798)

you twelve
<08147> <06240>

men
<0376>

out of the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>_,

out of every
<0259>

tribe
<07626>

a man
<0376>_.

3:13

And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles
<03709>

of the feet
<07272>

of the priests
<03548>

that bear
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

the Lord
<0113>

of all the earth
<0776>_,

shall rest
<05117> (8800)

in the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

[that] the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

shall be cut off
<03772> (8735)

[from] the waters
<04325>

that come down
<03381> (8802)

from above
<04605>_;

and they shall stand
<05975> (8799)

upon an
<0259>

heap
<05067>_.

3:14

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

removed
<05265> (8800)

from their tents
<0168>_,

to pass over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and the priests
<03548>

bearing
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>_;

3:15

And as they that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

were come
<0935> (8800)

unto Jordan
<03383>_,

and the feet
<07272>

of the priests
<03548>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

were dipped
<02881> (8738)

in the brim
<07097>

of the water
<04325>_,

(for Jordan
<03383>

overfloweth
<04390> (8804)

all his banks
<01415>

all the time
<03117>

of harvest
<07105>,)

3:16

That the waters
<04325>

which came down
<03381> (8802)

from above
<04605>

stood
<05975> (8799)

[and] rose up
<06965> (8804)

upon an
<0259>

heap
<05067>

very
<03966>

far
<07368> (8687)

from the city
<05892>

Adam
<0121>_,

that [is] beside
<06654>

Zaretan
<06891>_:

and those that came down
<03381> (8802)

toward the sea
<03220>

of the plain
<06160>_,

[even] the salt
<04417>

sea
<03220>_,

failed
<08552> (8804)_,

[and] were cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

and the people
<05971>

passed over
<05674> (8804)

right against Jericho
<03405>_.

3:17

And the priests
<03548>

that bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

stood
<05975> (8799)

firm
<03559> (8687)

on dry ground
<02724>

in the midst
<08432>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

and all the Israelites
<03478>

passed over
<05674> (8802)

on dry ground
<02724>_,

until all the people
<01471>

were passed
<05674> (0)

clean
<08552> (8804)

over
<05674> (8800)

Jordan
<03383>_.
