| Joshua 4:1 |
|
And it came to pass, when all the nation were
clean passed over the Jordan, that Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:2 |
|
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of
every tribe a man, |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:3 |
|
and command ye them, saying, Take you hence
out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood
firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place,
where ye shall lodge this night. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:4 |
|
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had
prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:5 |
|
and Joshua said unto them, Pass over before
the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every
man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes
of the children of Israel; |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:6 |
|
that this may be a sign among you, that, when
your children ask in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones? |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:7 |
|
then ye shall say unto them, Because the waters
of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it
passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones
shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:8 |
|
And the children of Israel did so as Joshua
commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah
spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid
them down there. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:9 |
|
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst
of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bare the ark of
the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:10 |
|
For the priests that bare the ark stood in the
midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah commanded Joshua
to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the
people hasted and passed over. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:11 |
|
And it came to pass, when all the people were
clean passed over, that the ark of Jehovah passed over, and the priests, in the
presence of the people. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:12 |
|
And the children of Reuben, and the children
of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children
of Israel, as Moses spake unto them: |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:13 |
|
about forty thousand ready armed for war passed
over before Jehovah unto battle, to the plains of Jericho. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:14 |
|
On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the
sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of
his life. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:15 |
|
And Jehovah spake unto Joshua, saying, |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:16 |
|
Command the priests that bear the ark of the
testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:17 |
|
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying,
Come ye up out of the Jordan. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:18 |
|
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah were come up out of the midst of the Jordan,
and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry ground, that the
waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as
aforetime. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:19 |
|
And the people came up out of the Jordan on
the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of
Jericho. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:20 |
|
And those twelve stones, which they took out
of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 4:21 |
|
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying,
When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean
these stones? |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:22 |
|
Then ye shall let your children know, saying,
Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:23 |
|
For Jehovah your God dried up the waters of
the Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Jehovah your God did
to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over; |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 4:24 |
|
that all the peoples of the earth may know the
hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye may fear Jehovah your God for ever. |
