3:1 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed
from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of
Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
3:2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers
went through the host;
3:3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the
ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the
Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and
go after it.
3:4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may
know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this]
way heretofore.
3:5 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for
tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
3:6 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the
ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they
took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
3:7 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to
magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know
that, as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.
3:8 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of
the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the
water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
3:9 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither,
and hear the words of the LORD your God.
3:10 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living
God [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out
from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, and the Jebusites.
3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the
earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
3:12 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of
Israel, out of every tribe a man.
3:13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the
feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of
all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the
waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come
down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
3:14 And it came to pass, when the people removed from their
tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of
the covenant before the people;
3:15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and
the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the
brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all
the time of harvest,)
3:16 That the waters which came down from above stood [and]
rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is]
beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the
plain, [even] the salt sea, failed, [and] were cut off: and the
people passed over right against Jericho.
3:17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the
LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all
the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people
were passed clean over Jordan.
