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.

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,

Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan.


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. Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan. Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, - one man severally for each tribe; read more.
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. 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, 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, that the waters which were coming down from above, stood - rose 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, failed - were cut off, - and, the people, passed over, right against Jericho. 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.
