06:003:007 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.
06:003:008 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.
06:003:009 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel,
Come hither, and
hear
the words of the lord your God.
06:003:010 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.
06:003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the
lord of all the earth
passeth
over before you into Jordan.
06:003:012 Now therefore take you twelve men out of
the tribes of Israel,
out
of every tribe a man.
06:003:013 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.
06:003:014 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;
06:003:015 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,)
06:003:016 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.
06:003:017 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.
06:004:001 And it came to pass, when all the people
were clean passed
over
Jordan, that the lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
06:004:002 Take you twelve men out of the people,
out of every tribe a
man,
