Joshua:3:10-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Joshua said ,
Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you ,
and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites ,
and the Hittites ,
and the Hivites ,
and the Perizzites ,
and the Girgashites ,
and the Amorites ,
and the Jebusites .
*
Behold ,
the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan .
*
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel ,
out of every tribe a man .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD ,
the Lord of all the earth ,
shall rest in the waters of Jordan ,
that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above ;
and they shall stand upon an heap .
*
And it came to pass ,
when the people removed from their tents ,
to pass over Jordan ,
and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people ;
*
And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan ,
and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water , (
for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest ,)
*
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam ,
that is beside Zaretan :
and those that came down toward the sea of the plain ,
even the salt sea ,
failed ,
and were cut off :
and the people passed over right against Jericho .
*
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan ,
and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground ,
until all the people were passed clean over Jordan .
