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 IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that greatH1419 workH3027 which the LORDH3068 didH6213 upon the EgyptiansH4714: and the peopleH5971 fearedH3372 the LORDH3068, and believedH539 the LORDH3068, and his servantH5650 MosesH4872. {work: Heb. hand}

Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORDH3068; thou art greatH1419, and thy nameH8034 is greatH1419 in mightH1369.

ThenH116 NebuchadnezzarH5020 came nearH7127 to the mouthH8651 of the burningH3345 fieryH5135 furnaceH861, and spakeH6032, and saidH560, ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, ye servantsH5649 of the most highH5943 GodH426, come forthH5312, and comeH858 hither. ThenH116 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, came forthH5312 ofH4481 the midstH1459 of the fireH5135. {mouth: Cald. door}
And the princesH324, governorsH5460, and captainsH6347, and the king'sH4430 counsellorsH1907, being gathered togetherH3673, sawH2370 theseH479 menH1400, upon whose bodiesH1655 the fireH5135 had noH3809 powerH7981, norH3809 was an hairH8177 of their headH7217 singedH2761, neitherH3809 were their coatsH5622 changedH8133, norH3809 the smellH7382 of fireH5135 had passedH5709 on them.
Then NebuchadnezzarH5020 spakeH6032, and saidH560, BlessedH1289 be the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, who hath sentH7972 his angelH4398, and deliveredH7804 his servantsH5649 that trustedH7365 in himH5922, and have changedH8133 the king'sH4430 wordH4406, and yieldedH3052 their bodiesH1655, that they might notH3809 serveH6399 norH3809 worshipH5457 anyH3606 godH426, exceptH3861 their own GodH426.
Therefore IH4481 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That everyH3606 peopleH5972, nationH524, and languageH3961, which speakH560 any thing amissH7960+H7955 againstH5922 the GodH426 of ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and their housesH1005 shall be madeH7739 a dunghillH5122: becauseH6903+H3606 there isH383 noH3809 otherH321 GodH426 that canH3202 deliverH5338 after thisH1836 sort. {I make…: Cald. a decree is made by me} {any…: Cald. error} {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
And allH3606 the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772 are reputedH2804 as nothingH3809: and he doethH5648 according to his willH6634 in the armyH2429 of heavenH8065, and among the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772: and noneH3809 canH383 stayH4223 his handH3028, or sayH560 unto him, WhatH4101 doestH5648 thou?
IH4481+H6925 makeH7761 a decreeH2942, That in everyH3606 dominionH7985 of my kingdomH4437 men trembleH1934+H2112 and fearH1763 beforeH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of DanielH1841: for he is the livingH2417 GodH426, and stedfastH7011 for everH5957, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall notH3809 be destroyedH2255, and his dominionH7985 shall be even untoH5705 the endH5491.
