| 4:1 | And it came to pass, when all the people <01471> were clean <08552> (8804) passed over <05674> (8800) Jordan <03383>, that the LORD <03068> spake <0559> (8799) unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559> (8800), |
| 4:2 | Take <03947> (8798) you twelve <08147> <06240> men <0582> out of the people <05971>, out of every <0259> tribe <07626> a man <0376>, |
| 4:3 | And command <06680> (8761) ye them, saying <0559> (8800), Take <05375> (8798) you hence out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, out of the place where the priests <03548>' feet <07272> stood <04673> firm <03559> (8687), twelve <08147> <06240> stones <068>, and ye shall carry them over <05674> (8689) with you, and leave <03240> (8689) them in the lodging place <04411>, where ye shall lodge <03885> (8799) this night <03915>. |
| 4:4 | Then Joshua <03091> called <07121> (8799) the twelve <08147> <06240> men <0376>, whom he had prepared <03559> (8689) of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, out of every <0259> tribe <07626> a man <0376>: |
| 4:5 | And Joshua <03091> said <0559> (8799) unto them, Pass over <05674> (8798) before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430> into the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, and take ye up <07311> (8685) every <0259> man <0376> of you a stone <068> upon his shoulder <07926>, according unto the number <04557> of the tribes <07626> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>: |
| 4:6 | That this may be a sign <0226> among <07130> you, [that] when your children <01121> ask <07592> (8799) [their fathers] in time to come <04279>, saying <0559> (8800), What [mean] ye by these stones <068>? {in time...: Heb. to morrow} |
| 4:7 | Then ye shall answer <0559> (8804) them, That the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> were cut off <03772> (8738) before <06440> the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068>; when it passed over <05674> (8800) Jordan <03383>, the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> were cut off <03772> (8738): and these stones <068> shall be for a memorial <02146> unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478> for <05704> ever <05769>. |
| 4:8 | And the children <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> (8799) so as Joshua <03091> commanded <06680> (8765), and took up <05375> (8799) twelve <08147> <06240> stones <068> out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, as the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8765) unto Joshua <03091>, according to the number <04557> of the tribes <07626> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and carried them over <05674> (8686) with them unto the place where they lodged <04411>, and laid them down <03240> (8686) there. |
| 4:9 | And Joshua <03091> set up <06965> (8689) twelve <08147> <06240> stones <068> in the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, in the place where the feet <07272> of the priests <03548> which bare <05375> (8802) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> stood <04673>: and they are there unto this day <03117>. |
| 4:10 | For the priests <03548> which bare <05375> (8802) the ark <0727> stood <05975> (8802) in the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, until every thing <01697> was finished <08552> (8800) that the LORD <03068> commanded <06680> (8765) Joshua <03091> to speak <01696> (8763) unto the people <05971>, according to all that Moses <04872> commanded <06680> (8765) Joshua <03091>: and the people <05971> hasted <04116> (8762) and passed over <05674> (8799). |
| 4:11 | And it came to pass, when all the people <05971> were clean <08552> (8804) passed over <05674> (8800), that the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> passed over <05674> (8799), and the priests <03548>, in the presence <06440> of the people <05971>. |
| 4:12 | And the children <01121> of Reuben <07205>, and the children <01121> of Gad <01410>, and half <02677> the tribe <07626> of Manasseh <04519>, passed over <05674> (8799) armed <02571> before <06440> the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, as Moses <04872> spake <01696> (8765) unto them: |
| 4:13 | About forty <0705> thousand <0505> prepared <02502> (8803) for war <06635> passed over <05674> (8804) before <06440> the LORD <03068> unto battle <04421>, to the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>. {prepared: or, ready armed} |
| 4:14 | On that day <03117> the LORD <03068> magnified <01431> (8765) Joshua <03091> in the sight <05869> of all Israel <03478>; and they feared <03372> (8799) him, as they feared <03372> (8804) Moses <04872>, all the days <03117> of his life <02416>. |
| 4:15 | And the LORD <03068> spake <0559> (8799) unto Joshua <03091>, saying <0559> (8800), |
| 4:16 | Command <06680> (8761) the priests <03548> that bear <05375> (8802) the ark <0727> of the testimony <05715>, that they come up <05927> (8799) out of Jordan <03383>. |
| 4:17 | Joshua <03091> therefore commanded <06680> (8762) the priests <03548>, saying <0559> (8800), Come ye up <05927> (8798) out of Jordan <03383>. |
| 4:18 | And it came to pass, when the priests <03548> that bare <05375> (8802) the ark <0727> of the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> were come up <05927> (8800) out of the midst <08432> of Jordan <03383>, [and] the soles <03709> of the priests <03548>' feet <07272> were lifted up <05423> (8738) unto the dry land <02724>, that the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> returned <07725> (8799) unto their place <04725>, and flowed <03212> (8799) over all his banks <01415>, as <08543> [they did] before <08032>. {lifted...: Heb. plucked up} {flowed: Heb. went} |
| 4:19 | And the people <05971> came up <05927> (8804) out of Jordan <03383> on the tenth <06218> [day] of the first <07223> month <02320>, and encamped <02583> (8799) in Gilgal <01537>, in the east <04217> border <07097> of Jericho <03405>. |
| 4:20 | And those twelve <08147> <06240> stones <068>, which they took out <03947> (8804) of Jordan <03383>, did Joshua <03091> pitch <06965> (8689) in Gilgal <01537>. |
| 4:21 | And he spake <0559> (8799) unto the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, saying <0559> (8800), When your children <01121> shall ask <07592> (8799) their fathers <01> in time to come <04279>, saying <0559> (8800), What [mean] these stones <068>? {in time...: Heb. to morrow} |
| 4:22 | Then ye shall let your children <01121> know <03045> (8689), saying <0559> (8800), Israel <03478> came over <05674> (8804) this Jordan <03383> on dry land <03004>. |
| 4:23 | For the LORD <03068> your God <0430> dried up <03001> (8689) the waters <04325> of Jordan <03383> from before <06440> you, until ye were passed over <05674> (8800), as the LORD <03068> your God <0430> did <06213> (8804) to the Red <05488> sea <03220>, which he dried up <03001> (8689) from before <06440> us, until we were gone over <05674> (8800): |
| 4:24 | That all the people <05971> of the earth <0776> might know <03045> (8800) the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068>, that it [is] mighty <02389>: that ye might fear <03372> (8804) the LORD <03068> your God <0430> for ever <03117>. {for ever: Heb. all days} |
