And it came to pass, when all the peopleH1471 were cleanH8552 passed overH5674 JordanH3383, that the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
TakeH3947 you twelveH8147+H6240 menH582 out of the peopleH5971, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376,
And commandH6680 ye them, sayingH559, TakeH5375 you hence out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, out of the place where the priests'H3548 feetH7272 stoodH4673 firmH3559, twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, and ye shall carry them overH5674 with you, and leaveH3240 them in the lodging placeH4411, where ye shall lodgeH3885 this nightH3915.
Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the twelveH8147+H6240 menH376, whom he had preparedH3559 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376:
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 into the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and take ye upH7311 everyH259 manH376 of you a stoneH68 upon his shoulderH7926, according unto the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:
That this may be a signH226 amongH7130 you, that when your childrenH1121 askH7592 their fathers in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean ye by these stonesH68? {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
Then ye shall answerH559 them, That the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068; when it passed overH5674 JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772: and these stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and took upH5375 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, as the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto JoshuaH3091, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and carried them overH5674 with them unto the place where they lodgedH4411, and laid them downH3240 there.
And JoshuaH3091 set upH6965 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, in the place where the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 stoodH4673: and they are there unto this dayH3117.
For the priestsH3548 which bareH5375 the arkH727 stoodH5975 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, until every thingH1697 was finishedH8552 that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 to speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, according to all that MosesH4872 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091: and the peopleH5971 hastedH4116 and passed overH5674.
And it came to pass, when all the peopleH5971 were cleanH8552 passed overH5674, that the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 passed overH5674, and the priestsH3548, in the presenceH6440 of the peopleH5971.
And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, passed overH5674 armedH2571 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, as MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto them:
About fortyH705 thousandH505 preparedH2502 for warH6635 passed overH5674 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 unto battleH4421, to the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. {prepared: or, ready armed}
On that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 magnifiedH1431 JoshuaH3091 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478; and they fearedH3372 him, as they fearedH3372 MosesH4872, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559,
CommandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, that they come upH5927 out of JordanH3383.
JoshuaH3091 therefore commandedH6680 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, Come ye upH5927 out of JordanH3383.
And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 were come upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and the solesH3709 of the priests'H3548 feetH7272 were lifted upH5423 unto the dry landH2724, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 returnedH7725 unto their placeH4725, and flowedH3212 over all his banksH1415, asH8543 they did beforeH8032. {lifted…: Heb. plucked up} {flowed: Heb. went}
And the peopleH5971 came upH5927 out of JordanH3383 on the tenthH6218 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537, in the eastH4217 borderH7097 of JerichoH3405.
And those twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, which they took outH3947 of JordanH3383, did JoshuaH3091 pitchH6965 in GilgalH1537.
And he spakeH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, When your childrenH1121 shall askH7592 their fathersH1 in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean these stonesH68? {in time…: Heb. to morrow}
Then ye shall let your childrenH1121 knowH3045, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 came overH5674 this JordanH3383 on dry landH3004.
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 dried upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 you, until ye were passed overH5674, as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 didH6213 to the RedH5488 seaH3220, which he dried upH3001 from beforeH6440 us, until we were gone overH5674:
That all the peopleH5971 of the earthH776 might knowH3045 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068, that it is mightyH2389: that ye might fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 for everH3117. {for ever: Heb. all days}

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 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 over the seaH3220, that the watersH4325 may come againH7725 upon the EgyptiansH4714, upon their chariotsH7393, and upon their horsemenH6571.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, and the seaH3220 returnedH7725 to his strengthH386 when the morningH1242 appearedH6437; and the EgyptiansH4714 fledH5127 againstH7125 it; and the LORDH3068 overthrewH5287 the EgyptiansH4714 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220. {overthrew: Heb. shook off}
And the watersH4325 returnedH7725, and coveredH3680 the chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571, and all the hostH2428 of PharaohH6547 that cameH935 into the seaH3220 afterH310 them; there remainedH7604 not so much asH5704 oneH259 of them.
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,)
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,)
These are they that went overH5674 JordanH3383 in the firstH7223 monthH2320, when it had overflownH4390 all his banksH1415+H1428; and they put to flightH1272 all them of the valleysH6010, both toward the eastH4217, and toward the westH4628. {overflown: Heb. filled over}
And he shall passH2498 through JudahH3063; he shall overflowH7857 and go overH5674, he shall reachH5060 even to the neckH6677; and the stretching outH4298 of his wingsH3671 shall fillH4393 the breadthH7341 of thy landH776, O ImmanuelH6005+H410. {stretching…: Heb. fulness of the breadth of thy land shall be the stretchings out of his wings}
