1 And it came to pass,1961 when834 all3605 the people1471 were clean8552 passed over5674 853 Jordan,3383 that the LORD3068 spoke559 unto413 Joshua,3091 saying,559 2 Take3947 you twelve8147 6240 men376 out of4480 the people,5971 out of every tribe a man,376 259 376 259 4480 7626 3 And command6680 ye them, saying,559 Take5375 you hence4480 2088 out of the midst4480 8432 of Jordan,3383 out of the place4480 4673 where the priests'3548 feet7272 stood firm,3559 twelve8147 6240 stones,68 and ye shall carry them over5674 853 with5973 you, and leave5117 them in the lodging place,4411 where834 ye shall lodge3885 this night.3915 4 Then Joshua3091 called7121 413 the twelve8147 6240 men,376 whom834 he had prepared3559 of the children4480 1121 of Israel,3478 out of every tribe a man:376 259 376 259 4480 7626 5 And Joshua3091 said559 unto them, Pass over5674 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 your God430 into413 the midst8432 of Jordan,3383 and take ye up7311 every man376 of you a259 stone68 upon5921 his shoulder,7926 according unto the number4557 of the tribes7626 of the children1121 of Israel:3478 6 That4616 this2063 may be1961 a sign226 among7130 you, that when3588 your children1121 ask7592 their fathers in time to come,4279 saying,559 What4100 mean ye by these428 stones?68 7 Then ye shall answer559 them, That834 the waters4325 of Jordan3383 were cut off3772 before4480 6440 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD;3068 when it passed over5674 Jordan,3383 the waters4325 of Jordan3383 were cut off:3772 and these428 stones68 shall be1961 for a memorial2146 unto the children1121 of Israel3478 forever.5704 5769 8 And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 so3651 as834 Joshua3091 commanded,6680 and took up5375 twelve8147 6240 stones68 out of the midst4480 8432 of Jordan,3383 as834 the LORD3068 spoke1696 unto413 Joshua,3091 according to the number4557 of the tribes7626 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 and carried them over5674 with5973 them unto413 the place where they lodged,4411 and laid them down5117 there.8033 9 And Joshua3091 set up6965 twelve8147 6240 stones68 in the midst8432 of Jordan,3383 in the place8478 where the feet7272 of the priests3548 which bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 stood:4673 and they are1961 there8033 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 10 For the priests3548 which bore5375 the ark727 stood5975 in the midst8432 of Jordan,3383 until5704 every thing3605 1697 was finished8552 that834 the LORD3068 commanded6680 853 Joshua3091 to speak1696 unto413 the people,5971 according to all3605 that834 Moses4872 commanded6680 853 Joshua:3091 and the people5971 hasted4116 and passed over.5674 11 And it came to pass,1961 when834 all3605 the people5971 were clean8552 passed over,5674 that the ark727 of the LORD3068 passed over,5674 and the priests,3548 in the presence6440 of the people.5971 12 And the children1121 of Reuben,7205 and the children1121 of Gad,1410 and half2677 the tribe7626 of Manasseh,4519 passed over5674 armed2571 before6440 the children1121 of Israel,3478 as834 Moses4872 spoke1696 unto413 them: 13 About forty705 thousand505 prepared2502 for war6635 passed over5674 before6440 the LORD3068 unto battle,4421 to413 the plains6160 of Jericho.3405 14 On that1931 day3117 the LORD3068 magnified1431 853 Joshua3091 in the sight5869 of all3605 Israel;3478 and they feared3372 him, as834 they feared3372 853 Moses,4872 all3605 the days3117 of his life.2416 15 And the LORD3068 spoke559 unto413 Joshua,3091 saying,559 16 Command6680 853 the priests3548 that bear5375 the ark727 of the testimony,5715 that they come up5927 out of4480 Jordan.3383 17 Joshua3091 therefore commanded6680 853 the priests,3548 saying,559 Come ye up5927 out of4480 Jordan.3383 18 And it came to pass,1961 when the priests3548 that bore5375 the ark727 of the covenant1285 of the LORD3068 were come up5927 out of the midst4480 8432 of Jordan,3383 and the soles3709 of the priests'3548 feet7272 were lifted up5423 unto413 the dry land,2724 that the waters4325 of Jordan3383 returned7725 unto their place,4725 and flowed1980 over5921 all3605 his banks,1415 as8543 they did before.8032 19 And the people5971 came up5927 out of4480 Jordan3383 on the tenth6218 day of the first7223 month,2320 and encamped2583 in Gilgal,1537 in the east4217 border7097 of Jericho.3405 20 And those428 twelve8147 6240 stones,68 which834 they took3947 out of4480 Jordan,3383 did Joshua3091 pitch6965 in Gilgal.1537 21 And he spoke559 unto413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 saying,559 When834 your children1121 shall ask7592 853 their fathers1 in time to come,4279 saying,559 What4100 mean these428 stones?68 22 Then ye shall let 853 your children1121 know,3045 saying,559 Israel3478 came over5674 853 this2088 Jordan3383 on dry land.3004 23 For834 the LORD3068 your God430 dried up3001 853 the waters4325 of Jordan3383 from before4480 6440 you, until5704 ye were passed over,5674 as834 the LORD3068 your God430 did6213 to the Red5488 sea,3220 which834 he dried up3001 from before4480 6440 us, until5704 we were gone over:5674 24 That4616 all3605 the people5971 of the earth776 might know3045 853 the hand3027 of the LORD,3068 that3588 it1931 is mighty:2389 that4616 ye might fear3372 853 the LORD3068 your God430 forever.3605 3117 |

1 Quibus transgressis, dixit Dominus ad Josue: 2 Elige duodecim viros singulos per singulas tribus: 3 et præcipe eis ut tollant de medio Jordanis alveo, ubi steterunt pedes sacerdotum, duodecim durissimos lapides, quos ponetis in loco castrorum, ubi fixeritis hac nocte tentoria. 4 Vocavitque Josue duodecim viros, quos elegerat de filiis Israël, singulos de singulis tribubus, 5 et ait ad eos: Ite ante arcam Domini Dei vestri ad Jordanis medium, et portate inde singuli singulos lapides in humeris vestris, juxta numerum filiorum Israël, 6 ut sit signum inter vos: et quando interrogaverint vos filii vestri cras, dicentes: Quid sibi volunt isti lapides? 7 respondebitis eis: Defecerunt aquæ Jordanis ante arcam fœderis Domini, cum transiret eum: idcirco positi sunt lapides isti in monimentum filiorum Israël usque in æternum. 8 Fecerunt ergo filii Israël sicut præcepit eis Josue, portantes de medio Jordanis alveo duodecim lapides, ut Dominus ei imperarat, juxta numerum filiorum Israël, usque ad locum in quo castrametati sunt, ibique posuerunt eos. 9 Alios quoque duodecim lapides posuit Josue in medio Jordanis alveo, ubi steterunt sacerdotes qui portabant arcam fœderis: et sunt ibi usque in præsentem diem. 10 Sacerdotes autem qui portabant arcam, stabant in Jordanis medio, donec omnia complerentur, quæ Josue, ut loqueretur ad populum, præceperat Dominus, et dixerat ei Moyses. Festinavitque populus, et transiit. 11 Cumque transissent omnes, transivit et arca Domini, sacerdotesque pergebant ante populum. 12 Filii quoque Ruben, et Gad, et dimidia tribus Manasse, armati præcedebant filios Israël, sicut eis præceperat Moyses: 13 et quadraginta pugnatorum millia per turmas, et cuneos, incedebant per plana atque campestria urbis Jericho. 14 In die illo magnificavit Dominus Josue coram omni Israël, ut timerent eum, sicut timuerant Moysen, dum adviveret. 15 Dixitque ad eum: 16 Præcipe sacerdotibus, qui portant arcam fœderis, ut ascendant de Jordane. 17 Qui præcepit eis, dicens: Ascendite de Jordane. 18 Cumque ascendissent portantes arcam fœderis Domini, et siccam humum calcare cœpissent, reversæ sunt aquæ in alveum suum, et fluebant sicut ante consueverant. 19 Populus autem ascendit de Jordane decimo die mensis primi, et castrametati sunt in Galgalis contra orientalem plagam urbis Jericho. 20 Duodecim quoque lapides, quos de Jordanis alveo sumpserant, posuit Josue in Galgalis, 21 et dixit ad filios Israël: Quando interrogaverint filii vestri cras patres suos, et dixerint eis: Quid sibi volunt lapides isti? 22 docebitis eos, atque dicetis: Per arentem alveum transivit Israël Jordanem istum, 23 siccante Domino Deo vestro aquas ejus in conspectu vestro, donec transiretis, 24 sicut fecerat prius in mari Rubro, quod siccavit donec transiremus: 25 ut discant omnes terrarum populi fortissimam Domini manum, ut et vos timeatis Dominum Deum vestrum omni tempore. |
