Joshua 4

KJV

1  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people¹⁴⁷¹ were clean⁸⁵⁵² passed over^{5674 853} Jordan,³³⁸³ that the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹

2  Take³⁹⁴⁷ you twelve^{8147 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 hence^{4480 2088} out of the midst^{4480 8432} of Jordan,³³⁸³ out of the place^{4480 4673} where the priests'³⁵⁴⁸ feet⁷²⁷² stood firm,³⁵⁵⁹ twelve^{8147 6240} stones,⁶⁸ and ye shall carry them over^{5674 853} with⁵⁹⁷³ you, and leave⁵¹¹⁷ them in the lodging place,⁴⁴¹¹ where⁸³⁴ ye shall lodge³⁸⁸⁵ this night.³⁹¹⁵

4  Then Joshua³⁰⁹¹ called^{7121 413} the twelve^{8147 6240} men,³⁷⁶ whom⁸³⁴ he had prepared³⁵⁵⁹ of the children^{4480 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 before^{4480 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 twelve^{8147 6240} stones⁶⁸ out of the midst^{4480 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 twelve^{8147 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 thing^{3605 1697} was finished⁸⁵⁵² that⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ commanded^{6680 853} Joshua³⁰⁹¹ to speak¹⁶⁹⁶ unto⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ according to all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ Moses⁴⁸⁷² commanded^{6680 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 magnified^{1431 853} Joshua³⁰⁹¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and they feared³³⁷² him, as⁸³⁴ they feared^{3372 853} Moses,⁴⁸⁷² all³⁶⁰⁵ the days³¹¹⁷ of his life.²⁴¹⁶

15  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹

16  Command^{6680 853} the priests³⁵⁴⁸ that bear⁵³⁷⁵ the ark⁷²⁷ of the testimony,⁵⁷¹⁵ that they come up⁵⁹²⁷ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ Jordan.³³⁸³

17  Joshua³⁰⁹¹ therefore commanded^{6680 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 midst^{4480 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 twelve^{8147 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 ask^{7592 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 over^{5674 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ Jordan³³⁸³ on dry land.³⁰⁰⁴

23  For⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ dried up^{3001 853} the waters⁴³²⁵ of Jordan³³⁸³ from before^{4480 6440} you, until⁵⁷⁰⁴ ye were passed over,⁵⁶⁷⁴ as⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ did⁶²¹³ to the Red⁵⁴⁸⁸ sea,³²²⁰ which⁸³⁴ he dried up³⁰⁰¹ from before^{4480 6440} us, until⁵⁷⁰⁴ we were gone over:⁵⁶⁷⁴

24  That⁴⁶¹⁶ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the earth⁷⁷⁶ might know^{3045 853} the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ it¹⁹³¹ is mighty:²³⁸⁹ that⁴⁶¹⁶ ye might fear^{3372 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ your God⁴³⁰ forever.^{3605 3117}

1 καὶ ἐπεὶ συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων

2 παραλαβὼν ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ ἕνα ἀφ᾽ ἑκάστης φυλῆς

3 σύνταξον αὐτοῖς λέγων ἀνέλεσθε ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἑτοίμους δώδεκα λίθους καὶ τούτους διακομίσαντες ἅμα ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς θέτε αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ στρατοπεδείᾳ ὑμῶν οὗ ἐὰν παρεμβάλητε ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα

4 καὶ ἀνακαλεσάμενος Ἰησοῦς δώδεκα ἄνδρας τῶν ἐνδόξων ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἕνα ἀφ᾽ ἑκάστης φυλῆς

5 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς προσαγάγετε ἔμπροσθέν μου πρὸ προσώπου κυρίου εἰς μέσον τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ ἀνελόμενος ἐκεῖθεν ἕκαστος λίθον ἀράτω ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν δώδεκα φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ

6 ἵνα ὑπάρχωσιν ὑμῖν οὗτοι εἰς σημεῖον κείμενον διὰ παντός ἵνα ὅταν ἐρωτᾷ σε ὁ υἱός σου αὔριον λέγων τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ὑμῖν

7 καὶ σὺ δηλώσεις τῷ υἱῷ σου λέγων ὅτι ἐξέλιπεν ὁ Ιορδάνης ποταμὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου κιβωτοῦ διαθήκης κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς ὡς διέβαινεν αὐτόν καὶ ἔσονται οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ὑμῖν μνημόσυνον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος

8 καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ καθότι ἐνετείλατο κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ καὶ λαβόντες δώδεκα λίθους ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ιορδάνου καθάπερ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τῆς διαβάσεως τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ διεκόμισαν ἅμα ἑαυτοῖς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἀπέθηκαν ἐκεῖ

9 ἔστησεν δὲ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἄλλους δώδεκα λίθους ἐν αὐτῷ τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἐν τῷ γενομένῳ τόπῳ ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καί εἰσιν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

10 εἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἕως οὗ συνετέλεσεν Ἰησοῦς πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο κύριος ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ λαῷ καὶ ἔσπευσεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διέβησαν

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβῆναι καὶ διέβη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ οἱ λίθοι ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν

12 καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ρουβην καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Γαδ καὶ οἱ ἡμίσεις φυλῆς Μανασση διεσκευασμένοι ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς

13 τετρακισμύριοι εὔζωνοι εἰς μάχην διέβησαν ἐναντίον κυρίου εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς τὴν Ιεριχω πόλιν

14 ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ηὔξησεν κύριος τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐναντίον παντὸς τοῦ γένους Ισραηλ καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν ὥσπερ Μωυσῆν ὅσον χρόνον ἔζη

15 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων

16 ἔντειλαι τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς αἴρουσιν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ μαρτυρίου κυρίου ἐκβῆναι ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου

17 καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν λέγων ἔκβητε ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου

18 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξέβησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ ἔθηκαν τοὺς πόδας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὥρμησεν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ιορδάνου κατὰ χώραν καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθὰ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν δι᾽ ὅλης τῆς κρηπῖδος

19 καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἀνέβη ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου καὶ κατεστρατοπέδευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐν Γαλγαλοις κατὰ μέρος τὸ πρὸς ἡλίου ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τῆς Ιεριχω

20 καὶ τοὺς δώδεκα λίθους τούτους οὓς ἔλαβεν ἐκ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἔστησεν Ἰησοῦς ἐν Γαλγαλοις

21 λέγων ὅταν ἐρωτῶσιν ὑμᾶς οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν λέγοντες τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι

22 ἀναγγείλατε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν ὅτι ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς διέβη Ισραηλ τὸν Ιορδάνην

23 ἀποξηράναντος κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐκ τοῦ ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν μέχρι οὗ διέβησαν καθάπερ ἐποίησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν ἣν ἀπεξήρανεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν ἕως παρήλθομεν

24 ὅπως γνῶσιν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἡ δύναμις τοῦ κυρίου ἰσχυρά ἐστιν καὶ ἵνα ὑμεῖς σέβησθε κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν ἐν παντὶ χρόνῳ

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.
