Joshua 4:1--5:15

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}

5:1

And it came to pass, when all the kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

which [were] on the side
<05676>

of Jordan
<03383>

westward
<03220>_,

and all the kings
<04428>

of the Canaanites
<03669>_,

which [were] by the sea
<03220>_,

heard
<08085> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

had dried up
<03001> (8689)

the waters
<04325>

of Jordan
<03383>

from before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

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

that their heart
<03824>

melted
<04549> (8735)_,

neither was there spirit
<07307>

in them any more, because
<06440>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

5:2

At that time
<06256>

the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Make
<06213> (8798)

thee sharp
<06697>

knives
<02719>_,

and circumcise
<04135> (8798)

again
<07725> (8798)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

the second time
<08145>_.

{sharp...: or, knives of flints}

5:3

And Joshua
<03091>

made
<06213> (8799)

him sharp
<06697>

knives
<02719>_,

and circumcised
<04135> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

at the hill
<01389>

of the foreskins
<06190>_.

{sharp...: or, knives of flints} {the hill...: or, Gibeah-haaraloth}

5:4

And this [is] the cause
<01697>

why Joshua
<03091>

did circumcise
<04135> (8804)_:

All the people
<05971>

that came out
<03318> (8802)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

[that were] males
<02145>_,

[even] all the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

died
<04191> (8804)

in the wilderness
<04057>

by the way
<01870>_,

after they came out
<03318> (8800)

of Egypt
<04714>_.

5:5

Now
<03588>

all the people
<05971>

that came out
<03318> (8802)

were circumcised
<04135> (8803)_:

but all the people
<05971>

[that were] born
<03209>

in the wilderness
<04057>

by the way
<01870>

as they came forth
<03318> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

[them] they had not circumcised
<04135> (8804)_.

5:6

For the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

walked
<01980> (8804)

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

till all the people
<01471>

[that were] men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

which came out
<03318> (8802)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

were consumed
<08552> (8800)_,

because they obeyed
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

unto whom the LORD
<03068>

sware
<07650> (8738)

that he would not shew
<07200> (8687)

them the land
<0776>_,

which the LORD
<03068>

sware
<07650> (8738)

unto their fathers
<01>

that he would give
<05414> (8800)

us, a land
<0776>

that floweth
<02100> (8802)

with milk
<02461>

and honey
<01706>_.

5:7

And their children
<01121>_,

[whom] he raised up
<06965> (8689)

in their stead, them Joshua
<03091>

circumcised
<04135> (8804)_:

for they were uncircumcised
<06189>_,

because they had not circumcised
<04135> (8804)

them by the way
<01870>_.

5:8

And it came to pass, when they had done
<08552> (8804)

circumcising
<04135> (8736)

all the people
<01471>_,

that they abode
<03427> (8799)

in their places in the camp
<04264>_,

till they were whole
<02421> (8800)_.

{they had...: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised}

5:9

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

This day
<03117>

have I rolled away
<01556> (8804)

the reproach
<02781>

of Egypt
<04714>

from off you. Wherefore the name
<08034>

of the place
<04725>

is called
<07121> (8799)

Gilgal
<01537>

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Gilgal: that is Rolling}

5:10

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

encamped
<02583> (8799)

in Gilgal
<01537>_,

and kept
<06213> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

at even
<06153>

in the plains
<06160>

of Jericho
<03405>_.

5:11

And they did eat
<0398> (8799)

of the old corn
<05669>

of the land
<0776>

on the morrow
<04283>

after the passover
<06453>_,

unleavened cakes
<04682>_,

and parched
<07033> (8803)

[corn] in the selfsame
<06106>

day
<03117>_.

5:12

And the manna
<04478>

ceased
<07673> (8799)

on the morrow
<04283>

after they had eaten
<0398> (8800)

of the old corn
<05669>

of the land
<0776>_;

neither had the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

manna
<04478>

any more; but they did eat
<0398> (8799)

of the fruit
<08393>

of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

that year
<08141>_.

5:13

And it came to pass, when Joshua
<03091>

was by Jericho
<03405>_,

that he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, there stood
<05975> (8802)

a man
<0376>

over against him with his sword
<02719>

drawn
<08025> (8803)

in his hand
<03027>_:

and Joshua
<03091>

went
<03212> (8799)

unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries
<06862>_?

5:14

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay; but [as] captain
<08269>

of the host
<06635>

of the LORD
<03068>

am I now come
<0935> (8804)_.

And Joshua
<03091>

fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>

to the earth
<0776>_,

and did worship
<07812> (8691)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What saith
<01696> (8764)

my lord
<0113>

unto his servant
<05650>_?

{captain: or, prince}

5:15

And the captain
<08269>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

host
<06635>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Loose
<05394> (8798)

thy shoe
<05275>

from off thy foot
<07272>_;

for the place
<04725>

whereon thou standest
<05975> (8802)

[is] holy
<06944>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

did
<06213> (8799)

so.
