Joshua:3
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Joshua rose early in the morning ;
and they removed from Shittim ,
and came to the Jordan ,
he and all the children of Israel ,
and lodged there before they passed over .
*
And it came to pass at the end of three days ,
that the officers went through the camp ;
*
and they commanded the people ,
saying ,
When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God ,
and the priests the Levites bearing it ,
then remove from your place ,
and go after it ;
*
yet there shall be a distance between you and it ,
about two thousand cubits by measure .
Ye shall not come near it ,
that ye may know the way by which ye must go ;
for ye have not passed this way heretofore .
*
And Joshua said to the people ,
Hallow yourselves ;
for to-morrow Jehovah will do wonders in your midst .
*
And Joshua spoke to the priests ,
saying ,
Take up the ark of the covenant ,
and go over before the people .
And they took up the ark of the covenant ,
and went before the people .
*
And Jehovah said to Joshua ,
This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel ,
that they may know that as I was with Moses ,
so will I be with thee .
*
And thou shalt command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant ,
saying ,
When ye come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan ,
stand still in the Jordan .
*
And Joshua said to the children of Israel ,
Come hither ,
and hear the words of Jehovah your God .
*
And Joshua said ,
Hereby shall ye know that the living �
God is in your midst ,
and [
that ]
he will without fail dispossess 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 is going over before you into the Jordan .
*
And now take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel ,
one man for each tribe .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah ,
the Lord of all the earth ,
rest in the waters of the Jordan ,
the waters of the Jordan ,
the waters flowing down from above ,
shall be cut off ,
and shall stand up in a heap .
*
And it came to pass when the people removed from their tents ,
to pass over the Jordan ,
that the priests bearing the ark of the covenant were before the people ;
*
and when they that bore the ark were come to the Jordan ,
and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (
and the Jordan is full over all its banks throughout the days of harvest ),
*
the waters which flowed down from above stood [
and ]
rose up in a heap ,
very far ,
by Adam ,
the city that is beside Zaretan ;
and those that flowed down towards the sea of the plain ,
the salt sea ,
were completely cut off .
And the people went over opposite to Jericho .
*
And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan .
And all Israel went over on dry ground ,
until all the nation had completely gone over the Jordan .
