Joshua 4

1 Twelve men are appointed to take twelve stones for a memorial out of Jordan. 9 Twelve other stones are set up in the midst of Jordan. 10, 19 The people pass over. 14 God magnifieth Joshua. 20 The twelve stones are pitched in Gilgal.

 4:1 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when x834 all x3605 the people 1471 were clean 8552 z8804 passed over 5674 z8800 x853 Jordan, 3383 that the LORD 3068 spake 559 z8799 unto x413 Joshua, 3091 saying, 559 z8800

 4:2 Take 3947 z8798 you twelve 8147 6240 men y582 x376 out of x4480 the people, 5971 out of every y259 tribe y7626 a man, 376 259 x4480 x7626

 4:3 And command 6680 z8761 ye them, saying, 559 z8800 Take 5375 z8798 you hence x4480 x2088 out of the midst 8432 x4480 of Jordan, 3383 out of the place x4480 x4673 where the priests' 3548 feet 7272 stood y4673 firm, 3559 z8687 twelve 8147 6240 stones, 68 and ye shall carry them over 5674 z8689 x853 with x5973 you, and leave y3240 z8689 x5117 them in the lodging place, 4411 where x834 ye shall lodge 3885 z8799 this night. 3915

 4:4 Then Joshua 3091 called 7121 z8799 x413 the twelve 8147 6240 men, 376 whom x834 he had prepared 3559 z8689 of the children 1121 x4480 of Israel, 3478 out of every y259 tribe y7626 a man: 376 259 x4480 x7626

 4:5 And Joshua 3091 said 559 z8799 unto them, Pass over 5674 z8798 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 your God 430 into x413 the midst 8432 of Jordan, 3383 and take ye up 7311 z8685 every y259 man 376 of you a x259 stone 68 upon x5921 his shoulder, 7926 according unto the number 4557 of the tribes 7626 of the children 1121 of Israel: 3478

 4:6 That x4616 this x2063 may be x1961 a sign 226 among 7130 you, [that] when x3588 your children 1121 ask 7592 z8799 [their fathers] in time to come, 4279 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 [mean] ye by these x428 stones? 68

 4:7 Then ye shall answer 559 z8804 them, That x834 the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 were cut off 3772 z8738 before 6440 x4480 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD; 3068 when it passed over 5674 z8800 Jordan, 3383 the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 were cut off: 3772 z8738 and these x428 stones 68 shall be x1961 for a memorial 2146 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478 for y5704 ever. 5769 x5704

 4:8 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 did 6213 z8799 so x3651 as x834 Joshua 3091 commanded, 6680 z8765 and took up 5375 z8799 twelve 8147 6240 stones 68 out of the midst 8432 x4480 of Jordan, 3383 as x834 the LORD 3068 spake 1696 z8765 unto x413 Joshua, 3091 according to the number 4557 of the tribes 7626 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and carried them over 5674 z8686 with x5973 them unto x413 the place where they lodged, 4411 and laid them down y3240 z8686 x5117 there. x8033

 4:9 And Joshua 3091 set up 6965 z8689 twelve 8147 6240 stones 68 in the midst 8432 of Jordan, 3383 in the place x8478 where the feet 7272 of the priests 3548 which bare 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 stood: 4673 and they are x1961 there x8033 unto x5704 this x2088 day. 3117

 4:10 ¶ For the priests 3548 which bare 5375 z8802 the ark 727 stood 5975 z8802 in the midst 8432 of Jordan, 3383 until x5704 every thing 1697 x3605 was finished 8552 z8800 that x834 the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 z8765 x853 Joshua 3091 to speak 1696 z8763 unto x413 the people, 5971 according to all x3605 that x834 Moses 4872 commanded 6680 z8765 x853 Joshua: 3091 and the people 5971 hasted 4116 z8762 and passed over. 5674 z8799

 4:11 And it came to pass, x1961 when x834 all x3605 the people 5971 were clean 8552 z8804 passed over, 5674 z8800 that the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 passed over, 5674 z8799 and the priests, 3548 in the presence 6440 of the people. 5971

 4:12 And the children 1121 of Reuben, 7205 and the children 1121 of Gad, 1410 and half 2677 the tribe 7626 of Manasseh, 4519 passed over 5674 z8799 armed 2571 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 as x834 Moses 4872 spake 1696 z8765 unto x413 them:

 4:13 About forty 705 thousand 505 prepared 2502 z8803 for war 6635 passed over 5674 z8804 before 6440 the LORD 3068 unto battle, 4421 to x413 the plains 6160 of Jericho. 3405

 4:14 ¶ On that x1931 day 3117 the LORD 3068 magnified 1431 z8765 x853 Joshua 3091 in the sight 5869 of all x3605 Israel; 3478 and they feared 3372 z8799 him, as x834 they feared 3372 z8804 x853 Moses, 4872 all x3605 the days 3117 of his life. 2416

 4:15 And the LORD 3068 spake 559 z8799 unto x413 Joshua, 3091 saying, 559 z8800

 4:16 Command 6680 z8761 x853 the priests 3548 that bear 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the testimony, 5715 that they come up 5927 z8799 out of x4480 Jordan. 3383

 4:17 Joshua 3091 therefore commanded 6680 z8762 x853 the priests, 3548 saying, 559 z8800 Come ye up 5927 z8798 out of x4480 Jordan. 3383

 4:18 And it came to pass, x1961 when the priests 3548 that bare 5375 z8802 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 were come up 5927 z8800 out of the midst 8432 x4480 of Jordan, 3383 [and] the soles 3709 of the priests' 3548 feet 7272 were lifted up 5423 z8738 unto x413 the dry land, 2724 that the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 returned 7725 z8799 unto their place, 4725 and flowed y3212 z8799 x1980 over x5921 all x3605 his banks, 1415 as 8543 [they did] before. 8032

 4:19 ¶ And the people 5971 came up 5927 z8804 out of x4480 Jordan 3383 on the tenth 6218 [day] of the first 7223 month, 2320 and encamped 2583 z8799 in Gilgal, 1537 in the east 4217 border 7097 of Jericho. 3405

 4:20 And those x428 twelve 8147 6240 stones, 68 which x834 they took x3947 out y3947 z8804 of x4480 Jordan, 3383 did Joshua 3091 pitch 6965 z8689 in Gilgal. 1537

 4:21 And he spake 559 z8799 unto x413 the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 saying, 559 z8800 When x834 your children 1121 shall ask 7592 z8799 x853 their fathers 1 in time to come, 4279 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 [mean] these x428 stones? 68

 4:22 Then ye shall let x853 your children 1121 know, 3045 z8689 saying, 559 z8800 Israel 3478 came over 5674 z8804 x853 this x2088 Jordan 3383 on dry land. 3004

 4:23 For x834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 dried up 3001 z8689 x853 the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 from before 6440 x4480 you, until x5704 ye were passed over, 5674 z8800 as x834 the LORD 3068 your God 430 did 6213 z8804 to the Red 5488 sea, 3220 which x834 he dried up 3001 z8689 from before 6440 x4480 us, until x5704 we were gone over: 5674 z8800

 4:24 That x4616 all x3605 the people 5971 of the earth 776 might know 3045 z8800 x853 the hand 3027 of the LORD, 3068 that x3588 it x1931 [is] mighty: 2389 that x4616 ye might fear 3372 z8804 x853 the LORD 3068 your God 430 for ever. 3117 x3605
