Joshua 4:10-18 ▼

10 For the priestes whiche bare the arke stoode in the middes of Iordane, vntyll all was finished that the Lorde commaunded Iosuah to saye vnto the people, accordyng to all that Moyses charged Iosuah: And the people hasted, & went ouer.

11 And when all the people were cleane passed ouer, the arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the priestes before the people.

12 And the chyldren of Ruben, and the chyldren of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasse, went before the chyldren of Israel armed, as Moyses charged the.

13 Euen fourtie thousande prepared for warre, went before the Lorde vnto battayl, through the plaine of Iericho.

14 That day the Lorde magnified Iosuah in the syght of all Israel: and they feared hym, as they feared Moyses all dayes of his lyfe.

15 And the Lorde spake vnto Iosuah, saying:

16 Commaunde the priestes that beare the arke of the testimonie to come vp out of Iordane.

17 Iosuah therefore commaunded the priestes, saying: Come ye vp out of Iordane.

18 And when the priestes that bare the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde, were come vp out of the middes of Iordane, and assoone as the soles of the priestes feete were set on ye drie land, the waters of Iordane returned vnto their place, and went ouer all their bankes as they dyd before.
