1
Now when
all
the nation
had finished
crossing
the Jordan,
the LORD
spoke
to Joshua,
saying,
2
"Take
for yourselves twelve
men
from the people,
one
man from each
tribe,
3
and command
them, saying,
'Take
up for yourselves twelve
stones
from here
out of the middle
of the Jordan,
from the place
where
the priests'
feet
are standing
firm,
and carry them over
with you and lay them down
in the lodging place
where
you will lodge
tonight.'"
4
So Joshua
called
the twelve
men
whom
he had appointed
from the sons
of Israel,
one
man
from each
tribe;
5
and Joshua
said
to them, "Cross
again
to the ark
of the LORD
your God
into the middle
of the Jordan,
and each
of you take
up a stone
on his shoulder,
according to the number
of the tribes
of the sons
of Israel.
6
"Let this
be a sign
among
you, so that when your children
ask
later,
saying,
'What
do these
stones
mean to you?'
7
then you shall say
to them, 'Because
the waters
of the Jordan
were cut
off
before
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD;
when it crossed
the Jordan,
the waters
of the Jordan
were cut
off
.'
So these
stones
shall become
a memorial
to the sons
of Israel
forever."
8
Thus
the sons
of Israel
did
as Joshua
commanded,
and took
up twelve
stones
from the middle
of the Jordan,
just
as the LORD
spoke
to Joshua,
according to the number
of the tribes
of
the sons
of Israel
;
and they carried them over
with them to the lodging place
and put them down
there.
9
Then Joshua
set
up twelve
stones
in the middle
of the Jordan
at the place
where
the feet
of the priests
who carried
the ark
of the covenant
were standing,
and they are there
to this
day.
10
For the priests
who carried
the ark
were standing
in the middle
of the Jordan
until
everything
was completed
that the LORD
had commanded
Joshua
to speak
to the people,
according to all
that Moses
had commanded
Joshua
.
And the people
hurried
and crossed;
11
and when
all
the people
had finished
crossing,
the ark
of the LORD
and the priests
crossed
before
the people
.
12
The sons
of Reuben
and
the sons
of Gad
and the half-tribe
of Manasseh
crossed over
in battle array
before
the sons
of Israel,
just
as Moses
had spoken
to them;
13
about 40,000
equipped
for war,
crossed
for battle
before
the LORD
to the desert plains
of Jericho.
14
On that day
the LORD
exalted
Joshua
in the sight
of
all
Israel;
so that they revered
him, just
as they had revered
Moses
all
the days
of his life.
15
Now the LORD
said
to Joshua,
16
"Command
the priests
who carry
the ark
of the testimony
that they come
up from the Jordan."
17
So Joshua
commanded
the priests,
saying,
"Come
up from the Jordan."
18
It came
about when the priests
who carried
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
had come
up from the middle
of the Jordan
,
and the soles
of the priests'
feet
were lifted
up to the dry ground,
that the waters
of the Jordan
returned
to their place,
and went
over
all
its banks
as before.
19
Now the people
came
up from the Jordan
on the tenth
of the first
month
and camped
at Gilgal
on the eastern
edge
of Jericho.
20
Those
twelve
stones
which
they had taken
from the Jordan,
Joshua
set
up at Gilgal.
21
He said
to the sons
of Israel,
"When
your children
ask
their fathers
in time to come,
saying,
'What
are these
stones?'
22
then you shall inform
your children,
saying,
'Israel
crossed
this
Jordan
on dry ground.'
23
"For the LORD
your God
dried
up the waters
of the Jordan
before
you until
you had crossed,
just
as the LORD
your God
had done
to the Red
Sea,
which
He
dried
up
before
us until
we had crossed;
24
that all
the peoples
of the earth
may know
that the hand
of
the LORD
is mighty,
so
that you may fear
the LORD
your God
forever."
