1 Joshua cometh to Jordan. 2 The officers instruct the people for the passage. 7 The LORD encourageth Joshua. 9 Joshua encourageth the people. 14 The waters of Jordan are divided.

 3:1 ¶ And Joshua 3091 rose early 7925 z8686 in the morning; 1242 and they removed 5265 z8799 from Shittim, 7851 x4480 and came 935 z8799 to x5704 Jordan, 3383 he x1931 and all x3605 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and lodged 3885 z8799 there x8033 before x2962 they passed over. 5674 z8799

 3:2 And it came to pass x1961 after 7097 x4480 three 7969 days, 3117 that the officers 7860 z8802 went 5674 z8799 through 7130 the host; 4264

 3:3 And they commanded 6680 z8762 x853 the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 When ye see 7200 z8800 x853 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 your God, 430 and the priests 3548 the Levites 3881 bearing 5375 z8802 it, then ye x859 shall remove 5265 z8799 from your place, 4725 x4480 and go 1980 z8804 after 310 it.

 3:4 Yet x389 there shall be x1961 a space 7350 between x996 you and it, about two thousand 505 cubits 520 by measure: 4060 come not near 7126 z8799 x408 unto x413 it, that x4616 x834 ye may know 3045 z8799 x853 the way 1870 by which x834 ye must go: y3212 z8799 x1980 for x3588 ye have not x3808 passed 5674 z8804 [this] way 1870 heretofore. 8543 8032 x4480

 3:5 And Joshua 3091 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the people, 5971 Sanctify y6942 z8690 yourselves: x6942 for x3588 to morrow 4279 the LORD 3068 will do 6213 z8799 wonders 6381 z8737 among 7130 you.

 3:6 And Joshua 3091 spake 559 z8799 unto x413 the priests, 3548 saying, 559 z8800 Take up 5375 z8798 x853 the ark 727 of the covenant, 1285 and pass over 5674 z8798 before 6440 the people. 5971 And they took up 5375 z8799 x853 the ark 727 of the covenant, 1285 and went y3212 z8799 x1980 before 6440 the people. 5971

 3:7 ¶ And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Joshua, 3091 This x2088 day 3117 will I begin 2490 z8686 to magnify 1431 z8763 thee in the sight 5869 of all x3605 Israel, 3478 that x834 they may know 3045 z8799 that, x3588 as x834 I was x1961 with x5973 Moses, 4872 [so] I will be x1961 with x5973 thee.

 3:8 And thou x859 shalt command 6680 z8762 x853 the priests 3548 that bear 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the covenant, 1285 saying, 559 z8800 When ye are come 935 z8800 to x5704 the brink 7097 of the water 4325 of Jordan, 3383 ye shall stand still 5975 z8799 in Jordan. 3383

 3:9 ¶ And Joshua 3091 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 Come x5066 hither, y5066 z8798 x2008 and hear 8085 z8798 x853 the words 1697 of the LORD 3068 your God. 430

 3:10 And Joshua 3091 said, 559 z8799 Hereby x2063 ye shall know 3045 z8799 that x3588 the living 2416 God 410 [is] among 7130 you, and [that] he will without fail y3423 z8687 drive out 3423 z8686 from before 6440 x4480 you x853 the Canaanites, 3669 and the Hittites, 2850 and the Hivites, 2340 and the Perizzites, 6522 and the Girgashites, 1622 and the Amorites, 567 and the Jebusites. 2983

 3:11 Behold, x2009 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the Lord 113 of all x3605 the earth 776 passeth over 5674 z8802 before 6440 you into Jordan. 3383

 3:12 Now x6258 therefore take 3947 z8798 you twelve 8147 6240 men 376 out of the tribes 7626 x4480 of Israel, 3478 out of every y259 tribe y7626 a man. 376 259 x7626

 3:13 And it shall come to pass, x1961 as soon as the soles 3709 of the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 that bear 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the LORD, 3068 the Lord 113 of all x3605 the earth, 776 shall rest 5117 z8800 in the waters 4325 of Jordan, 3383 [that] the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 shall be cut off 3772 z8735 [from] the waters 4325 that come down 3381 z8802 from above; 4605 x4480 and they shall stand 5975 z8799 upon an 259 heap. 5067

 3:14 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when the people 5971 removed 5265 z8800 from their tents, 168 x4480 to pass over 5674 z8800 x853 Jordan, 3383 and the priests 3548 bearing 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 before 6440 the people; 5971

 3:15 And as they that bare 5375 z8802 the ark 727 were come 935 z8800 unto x5704 Jordan, 3383 and the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 that bare 5375 z8802 the ark 727 were dipped 2881 z8738 in the brim 7097 of the water, 4325 (for Jordan 3383 overfloweth 4390 z8804 x5921 all x3605 his banks 1415 all x3605 the time 3117 of harvest,) 7105

 3:16 That the waters 4325 which came down 3381 z8802 from above 4605 x4480 stood 5975 z8799 [and] rose up 6965 z8804 upon an 259 heap 5067 very 3966 far 7368 z8687 from the city 5892 Adam, 121 x4480 that x834 [is] beside 6654 x4480 Zaretan: 6891 and those that came down 3381 z8802 toward x5921 the sea 3220 of the plain, 6160 [even] the salt 4417 sea, 3220 failed, 8552 z8804 [and] were cut off: 3772 z8738 and the people 5971 passed over 5674 z8804 right against x5048 Jericho. 3405

 3:17 And the priests 3548 that bare 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 stood 5975 z8799 firm 3559 z8687 on dry ground 2724 in the midst 8432 of Jordan, 3383 and all x3605 the Israelites 3478 passed over 5674 z8802 on dry ground, 2724 until x5704 x834 all x3605 the people 1471 were passed 5674 z0 clean 8552 z8804 over 5674 z8800 x853 Jordan. 3383
