And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242; and they removedH5265 from ShittimH7851, and cameH935 to JordanH3383, he and all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and lodgedH3885 there before they passed overH5674.
And it came to pass afterH7097 threeH7969 daysH3117, that the officersH7860 wentH5674 throughH7130 the hostH4264;
And they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then ye shall removeH5265 from your placeH4725, and goH1980 afterH310 it.
Yet there shall be a spaceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measureH4060: come not nearH7126 unto it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must goH3212: for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretoforeH8543+H8032. {heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day}
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves: for to morrowH4279 the LORDH3068 will doH6213 wondersH6381 amongH7130 you.
And JoshuaH3091 spakeH559 unto the priestsH3548, sayingH559, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. And they took upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and wentH3212 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to magnifyH1431 thee in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that, as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee.
And thou shalt commandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, When ye are comeH935 to the brinkH7097 of the waterH4325 of JordanH3383, ye shall stand stillH5975 in JordanH3383.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, Come hitherH5066, and hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Hereby ye shall knowH3045 that the livingH2416 GodH410 is amongH7130 you, and that he will without failH3423 drive outH3423 from beforeH6440 you the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the HivitesH2340, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the GirgashitesH1622, and the AmoritesH567, and the JebusitesH2983.
Behold, the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH113 of all the earthH776 passeth overH5674 beforeH6440 you into JordanH3383.
Now therefore takeH3947 you twelveH8147+H6240 menH376 out of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the solesH3709 of the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the LordH113 of all the earthH776, shall restH5117 in the watersH4325 of JordanH3383, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 shall be cut offH3772 from the watersH4325 that come downH3381 from aboveH4605; and they shall standH5975 upon anH259 heapH5067.
And it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 removedH5265 from their tentsH168, to pass overH5674 JordanH3383, and the priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971;
And as they that bareH5375 the arkH727 were comeH935 unto JordanH3383, and the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 were dippedH2881 in the brimH7097 of the waterH4325, (for JordanH3383 overflowethH4390 all his banksH1415 all the timeH3117 of harvestH7105,)
That the watersH4325 which came downH3381 from aboveH4605 stoodH5975 and rose upH6965 upon anH259 heapH5067 veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892 AdamH121, that is besideH6654 ZaretanH6891: and those that came downH3381 toward the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, even the saltH4417 seaH3220, failedH8552, and were cut offH3772: and the peopleH5971 passed overH5674 right against JerichoH3405.
And the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 stoodH5975 firmH3559 on dry groundH2724 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and all the IsraelitesH3478 passed overH5674 on dry groundH2724, until all the peopleH1471 were passedH5674 cleanH8552 overH5674 JordanH3383.

And DavidH1732 calledH7121 for ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 the priestsH3548, and for the LevitesH3881, for UrielH222, AsaiahH6222, and JoelH3100, ShemaiahH8098, and ElielH447, and AmminadabH5992,
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, FearH3372 ye not, stand stillH3320, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068, which he will shewH6213 to you to dayH3117: for the EgyptiansH4714 whom ye have seenH7200 to dayH3117, ye shall seeH7200 them againH3254 no more forH5704 everH5769. {for the…: or, for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to day}
And saidH559 unto them, Ye are the chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881: sanctifyH6942 yourselves, both ye and your brethrenH251, that ye may bring upH5927 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 unto the place that I have preparedH3559 for it.
It is goodH2896 that a man should both hopeH3175+H2342 and quietly waitH1748 for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.
And with them he sent LevitesH3881, even ShemaiahH8098, and NethaniahH5418, and ZebadiahH2069, and AsahelH6214, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehonathanH3083, and AdonijahH138, and TobijahH2900, and TobadonijahH2899, LevitesH3881; and with them ElishamaH476 and JehoramH3088, priestsH3548.

And he brought inH935 the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and gathered them togetherH622 into the eastH4217 streetH7339,
And saidH559 unto them, HearH8085 me, ye LevitesH3881, sanctifyH6942 now yourselves, and sanctifyH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1, and carry forthH3318 the filthinessH5079 out of the holyH6944 place.
For our fathersH1 have trespassedH4603, and doneH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and have forsakenH5800 him, and have turned awayH5437 their facesH6440 from the habitationH4908 of the LORDH3068, and turnedH5414 their backsH6203. {turned their…: Heb. given the neck}
Also they have shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of the porchH197, and put outH3518 the lampsH5216, and have not burnedH6999 incenseH7004 nor offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 in the holyH6944 place unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
Wherefore the wrathH7110 of the LORDH3068 was upon JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389, and he hath deliveredH5414 them to troubleH2189+H2113, to astonishmentH8047, and to hissingH8322, as ye seeH7200 with your eyesH5869. {trouble: Heb. commotion}
For, lo, our fathersH1 have fallenH5307 by the swordH2719, and our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 and our wivesH802 are in captivityH7628 for this.
Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.
My sonsH1121, be not now negligentH7952: for the LORDH3068 hath chosenH977 you to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, to serveH8334 him, and that ye should ministerH8334 unto him, and burn incenseH6999. {be not…: or, be not now deceived} {burn…: or, offer sacrifice}
And they gatheredH622 their brethrenH251, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and cameH935, according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, by the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068, to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {by the words…: or, in the business of the LORD}
And HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to offerH5927 the burnt offeringH5930 upon the altarH4196. And whenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 also with the trumpetsH2689, and with the instrumentsH3627 ordained byH3027 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
Moreover HezekiahH3169 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praiseH1984 unto the LORDH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praisesH1984 with gladnessH8057, and they bowed their headsH6915 and worshippedH7812.
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
Then HezekiahH3169 questionedH1875 with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194.
And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659 answeredH559 him, and saidH559, Since the people beganH2490 to bringH935 the offeringsH8641 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, we have had enoughH7646 to eatH398, and have leftH3498 plentyH7230: for the LORDH3068 hath blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and that which is leftH3498 is this great storeH1995.
And he setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their chargesH4931, and encouragedH2388 them to the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And prepareH3559+H3559 yourselves by the housesH1004 of your fathersH1, after your coursesH4256, according to the writingH3791 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
And stand inH5975 the holyH6944 place according to the divisionsH6391 of the familiesH1004 of the fathersH1 of your brethrenH251 the peopleH1121+H5971, and after the divisionH2515 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the LevitesH3881. {the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}
So killH7819 the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and prepareH3559 your brethrenH251, that they may doH6213 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
And the chiefH7218 of the LevitesH3881: HashabiahH2811, SherebiahH8274, and JeshuaH3442 the sonH1121 of KadmielH6934, with their brethrenH251 over against them, to praiseH1984 and to give thanksH3034, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732 the manH376 of GodH430, wardH4929 over againstH5980 wardH4929.
MattaniahH4983, and BakbukiahH1229, ObadiahH5662, MeshullamH4918, TalmonH2929, AkkubH6126, were portersH7778 keepingH8104 the wardH4929 at the thresholdsH624 of the gatesH8179. {thresholds: or, treasuries, or, assemblies}
These were in the daysH3117 of JoiakimH3113 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, the sonH1121 of JozadakH3136, and in the daysH3117 of NehemiahH5166 the governorH6346, and of EzraH5830 the priestH3548, the scribeH5608.
And at the dedicationH2598 of the wallH2346 of JerusalemH3389 they soughtH1245 the LevitesH3881 out of all their placesH4725, to bringH935 them to JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the dedicationH2598 with gladnessH8057, both with thanksgivingsH8426, and with singingH7892, with cymbalsH4700, psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658.
And the sonsH1121 of the singersH7891 gathered themselves togetherH622, both out of the plain countryH3603 round aboutH5439 JerusalemH3389, and from the villagesH2691 of NetophathiH5200;
And I commandedH559 the LevitesH3881 that they should cleanseH2891 themselves, and that they should comeH935 and keepH8104 the gatesH8179, to sanctifyH6942 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117. RememberH2142 me, O my GodH430, concerning this also, and spareH2347 me according to the greatnessH7230 of thy mercyH2617. {greatness: or, multitude}
