rotherham - Joshua:3-4

rotherham@Joshua:3:1 @ So then Joshua rose early in the morning, and they brake up from The Acacias and came as far as the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodged there before they passed over.

rotherham@Joshua:3:2 @ And it came to pass, after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp,

rotherham@Joshua:3:3 @ and commanded the people saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and, the priests the Levites, bearing it, ye also, shall break up out of your place, and come after it.

rotherham@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet shall there be, a distance, between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure, do not come near unto it that ye may get to know the way by which ye must go, for ye have not passed this way, heretofore.

rotherham@Joshua:3:5 @ Then said Joshua unto the people, Hallow yourselves, for, to-morrow, will Yahweh do in your midst, wonderful things.

rotherham@Joshua:3:6 @ And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take ye up the ark of the covenant, and pass on before the people. So they took up the ark of the covenant, and went on before the people.

rotherham@Joshua:3:7 @ Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel, who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will be with thee.

rotherham@Joshua:3:8 @ Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand.

rotherham@Joshua:3:9 @ Then said Joshua, unto the sons of Israel, Draw near hither, and hear ye the words of Yahweh your God.

rotherham@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, Hereby, shall ye know, that a Living GOD is in your midst, and that he will, certainly dispossess, from before you, the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Hivite and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.

rotherham@Joshua:3:11 @ Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:3:12 @ Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, one man severally for each tribe;

rotherham@Joshua:3:13 @ and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, and shall stand in one mound.

rotherham@Joshua:3:14 @ And it came to pass, when the people set out from their tents, to cross the Jordan, with the priests, bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,

rotherham@Joshua:3:15 @ then, as the bearers of the ark came as far as the Jordan, and, the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark, were dipped in the edge of the waters, the Jordan being full over all his banks, all the days of harvest,

rotherham@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which were coming down from above, stoodrose up in one mound, a great way off, by the city Adam, which is beside Zarethan, and, they which were going down to the sea of the waste plain, the salt sea, failedwere cut off, and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, stood on dry ground, in the midst of the Jordan, with firm footing, while all Israel were passing over on dry ground, until all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:4:2 @ Take unto you, from among the people, twelve men, one man severally from each tribe;

rotherham@Joshua:4:3 @ and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.

rotherham@Joshua:4:4 @ So Joshua called unto the twelve men whom he had made ready, from among the sons of Israel, one man severally out of each tribe;

rotherham@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:

rotherham@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign in your midst, for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?

rotherham@Joshua:4:7 @ Then shall ye say unto them That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.

rotherham@Joshua:4:8 @ And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

rotherham@Joshua:4:9 @ Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, and they have remained there until this day.

rotherham@Joshua:4:10 @ Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, the people therefore hasted, and passed over.

rotherham@Joshua:4:11 @ And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.

rotherham@Joshua:4:12 @ Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the hall tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them:

rotherham@Joshua:4:13 @ about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.

rotherham@Joshua:4:15 @ Then spake Yahweh unto Joshua, saying:

rotherham@Joshua:4:16 @ Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:17 @ So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.

rotherham@Joshua:4:18 @ And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.

rotherham@Joshua:4:19 @ So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.

rotherham@Joshua:4:20 @ And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal.

rotherham@Joshua:4:21 @ Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, What mean these stones?

rotherham@Joshua:4:22 @ then shall ye let your sons know, saying, On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;

rotherham@Joshua:4:23 @ in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:

rotherham@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Yahweh, that, firm, it is; that they might revere Yahweh your God, all the days.

rotherham@Joshua:5:1 @ And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites who were over the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before the sons of Israel, until they had passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no spirit in them any more, because of the sons of Israel.
