drb @Joshua:3:1 @And Josue rose before daylight , and removed the camp : and they departed from Setim , and came to the Jordan , he , and all the children of Israel , and they abode there for three days . drb @Joshua:3:2 @After which , the heralds went through the midst of the camp , drb @Joshua:3:3 @And began to proclaim : When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God , and the priests of the race of Levi carrying it , rise you up also , and follow them as they go before : drb @Joshua:3:4 @And let there be between you and the ark the space of two thousand cubits : that you may see it afar off , and know which way you must go : for you have not gone this way before : and take care you come not near the ark . drb @Joshua:3:5 @And Josue said to the people : Be ye sanctified : for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you . drb @Joshua:3:6 @And he said to the priests : Take up the ark of the covenant , and go before the people . And they obeyed his commands , and took it up and walked before them . drb @Joshua:3:7 @And the Lord said to Josue : This day will I begin to exalt thee before Israel : that they may know that as I was with Moses , so I am with thee also . drb @Joshua:3:8 @And do thou command the priests that carry the ark of the covenant , and say to them : When you shall have entered into part of the water of the Jordan , stand in it . drb @Joshua:3:9 @And Josue said to the children of Israel : Come hither and hear the word of the Lord your God . drb @Joshua:3:10 @And again he said : By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you , and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite , the Hevite and the Pherezite , the Gergesite also and the Jebusite , and the Amorrhite drb @Joshua:3:11 @Behold the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you into the Jordan . drb @Joshua:3:12 @Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel , one of every tribe . drb @Joshua:3:13 @And when the priests , that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth , shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan , the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off : and those that come from above , shall stand together upon a heap . drb @Joshua:3:14 @So the people went out of their tents , to pass over the Jordan : and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant . went on before them . drb @Joshua:3:15 @And as soon as they came into the Jordan , and their feet were dipped in part of the water , (now the Jordan , it being harvest time , had filled the banks of its channel ,) drb @Joshua:3:16 @The waters that came down from above stood in one place , and swelling up like a mountain , were seen afar off from the city that is called Adom , to the place of Sarthan : but those that were beneath , ran down into the sea of the wilderness (which now is called the Dead Sea ) until they wholly failed . drb @Joshua:3:17 @And the people marched over against Jericho : and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord , stood girded upon the dry ground in the midst of the Jordan , and all the people passed over through the channel that was dried up .
