Joshua 3 — Scripture text (King James Version)
And 3091 rose early7925 in the morning1242; and they removed5265 from Shittim7851, and came935 to 3383, he and all the children1121 of 3478, and lodged3885 there before they passed over5674. And it came to pass after7097 three7969 days3117, that the officers7860 went5674 through7130 the host4264; And they commanded6680 the people5971, saying559, When ye see7200 the 727 of the 1285 of the LORD3068 your God430, and the priests3548 the 3881 bearing5375 it, then ye shall remove5265 from your place4725, and go1980 after310 it. Yet there shall be a space7350 between you and it, about two thousand505 520 by measure4060: come not near7126 unto it, that ye may know3045 the way1870 by which ye must go3212: for ye have not passed5674 this way1870 heretofore8543 8032. heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, and the third day And 3091 said559 unto the people5971, Sanctify6942 yourselves: for to morrow4279 the LORD3068 will do6213 wonders6381 among7130 you. And 3091 spake559 unto the priests3548, saying559, Take up5375 the 727 of the 1285, and pass over5674 before6440 the people5971. And they took up5375 the 727 of the 1285, and went3212 before6440 the people5971. And the LORD3068 said559 unto 3091, This day3117 will I begin2490 to magnify1431 thee in the sight5869 of all 3478, that they may know3045 that, as I was with 4872, so I will be with thee. And thou shalt command6680 the priests3548 that 5375 the 727 of the 1285, saying559, When ye are come935 to the brink7097 of the water4325 of 3383, ye shall stand still5975 in 3383. And 3091 said559 unto the children1121 of 3478, Come hither5066, and hear8085 the words1697 of the LORD3068 your God430. And 3091 said559, Hereby ye shall know3045 that the living2416 God410 is among7130 you, and that he will without fail3423 drive out3423 from before6440 you the 3669, and the 2850, and the 2340, and the 6522, and the 1622, and the 567, and the 2983. Behold, the 727 of the 1285 of the Lord113 of all the earth776 passeth over5674 before6440 you into 3383. Now therefore take3947 you twelve8147 6240 men376 out of the tribes7626 of 3478, out of every259 tribe7626 a man376. And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles3709 of the feet7272 of the priests3548 that 5375 the 727 of the LORD3068, the Lord113 of all the earth776, shall rest5117 in the waters4325 of 3383, that the waters4325 of 3383 shall be cut off3772 from the waters4325 that come down3381 from above4605; and they shall stand5975 upon an259 heap5067. And it came to pass, when the people5971 removed5265 from their tents168, to pass over5674 3383, and the priests3548 bearing5375 the 727 of the 1285 before6440 the people5971; And as they that bare5375 the 727 were come935 unto 3383, and the feet7272 of the priests3548 that bare5375 the 727 were dipped2881 in the brim7097 of the water4325, (for 3383 overfloweth4390 all his banks1415 all the time3117 of harvest7105,) That the waters4325 which came down3381 from above4605 stood5975 and rose up6965 upon an259 heap5067 very3966 far7368 from the city5892 121, that is beside6654 Zaretan6891: and those that came down3381 toward the sea3220 of the plain6160, even the salt4417 sea3220, failed8552, and were cut off3772: and the people5971 passed over5674 right against 3405. And the priests3548 that bare5375 the 727 of the 1285 of the LORD3068 stood5975 firm3559 dry ground2724 in the midst8432 of 3383, and all the 3478 passed over5674 dry ground2724, until all the people1471 were passed5674 clean8552 over5674 3383.
