4:1 And
it
came
to
pass,
when
all
the
nation
were
clean
passed
over
the
Jordan,
that
Jehovah
spake
unto
Joshua,
saying,
4:2 Take
you
twelve
men
out
of
the
people,
out
of
every
tribe
a
man,
4:3 and
command
ye
them,
saying,
Take
you
hence
out
of
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
out
of
the
place
where
the
priests'
feet
stood
firm,
twelve
stones,
and
carry
them
over
with
you,
and
lay
them
down
in
the
lodging-place,
where
ye
shall
lodge
this
night.
4:4 Then
Joshua
called
the
twelve
men,
whom
he
had
prepared
of
the
children
of
Israel,
out
of
every
tribe
a
man:
4:5 and
Joshua
said
unto
them,
Pass
over
before
the
ark
of
Jehovah
your
God
into
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
and
take
you
up
every
man
of
you
a
stone
upon
his
shoulder,
according
unto
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel;
4:6 that
this
may
be
a
sign
among
you,
that,
when
your
children
ask
in
time
to
come,
saying,
What
mean
ye
by
these
stones
4:7 then
ye
shall
say
unto
them,
Because
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
were
cut
off
before
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah;
when
it
passed
over
the
Jordan,
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
were
cut
off:
and
these
stones
shall
be
for
a
memorial
unto
the
children
of
Israel
for
ever.
4:8 And
the
children
of
Israel
did
so
as
Joshua
commanded,
and
took
up
twelve
stones
out
of
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
as
Jehovah
spake
unto
Joshua,
according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
children
of
Israel;
and
they
carried
them
over
with
them
unto
the
place
where
they
lodged,
and
laid
them
down
there.
4:9 And
Joshua
set
up
twelve
stones
in
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
in
the
place
where
the
feet
of
the
priests
that
bare
the
ark
of
the
covenant
stood:
and
they
are
there
unto
this
day.
4:10 For
the
priests
that
bare
the
ark
stood
in
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
until
everything
was
finished
that
Jehovah
commanded
Joshua
to
speak
unto
the
people,
according
to
all
that
Moses
commanded
Joshua:
and
the
people
hasted
and
passed
over.
4:11 And
it
came
to
pass,
when
all
the
people
were
clean
passed
over,
that
the
ark
of
Jehovah
passed
over,
and
the
priests,
in
the
presence
of
the
people.
4:12 And
the
children
of
Reuben,
and
the
children
of
Gad,
and
the
half-tribe
of
Manasseh,
passed
over
armed
before
the
children
of
Israel,
as
Moses
spake
unto
them:
4:13 about
forty
thousand
ready
armed
for
war
passed
over
before
Jehovah
unto
battle,
to
the
plains
of
Jericho.
4:14 On
that
day
Jehovah
magnified
Joshua
in
the
sight
of
all
Israel;
and
they
feared
him,
as
they
feared
Moses,
all
the
days
of
his
life.
4:15 And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Joshua,
saying,
4:16 Command
the
priests
that
bear
the
ark
of
the
testimony,
that
they
come
up
out
of
the
Jordan.
4:17 Joshua
therefore
commanded
the
priests,
saying,
Come
ye
up
out
of
the
Jordan.
4:18 And
it
came
to
pass,
when
the
priests
that
bare
the
ark
of
the
covenant
of
Jehovah
were
come
up
out
of
the
midst
of
the
Jordan,
and
the
soles
of
the
priests'
feet
were
lifted
up
unto
the
dry
ground,
that
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
returned
unto
their
place,
and
went
over
all
its
banks,
as
aforetime.
4:19 And
the
people
came
up
out
of
the
Jordan
on
the
tenth
day
of
the
first
month,
and
encamped
in
Gilgal,
on
the
east
border
of
Jericho.
4:20 And
those
twelve
stones,
which
they
took
out
of
the
Jordan,
did
Joshua
set
up
in
Gilgal.
4:21 And
he
spake
unto
the
children
of
Israel,
saying,
When
your
children
shall
ask
their
fathers
in
time
to
come,
saying,
What
mean
these
stones
4:22 Then
ye
shall
let
your
children
know,
saying,
Israel
came
over
this
Jordan
on
dry
land.
4:23 For
Jehovah
your
God
dried
up
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
from
before
you,
until
ye
were
passed
over,
as
Jehovah
your
God
did
to
the
Red
Sea,
which
he
dried
up
from
before
us,
until
we
were
passed
over;
4:24 that
all
the
peoples
of
the
earth
may
know
the
hand
of
Jehovah,
that
it
is
mighty;
that
ye
may
fear
Jehovah
your
God
for
ever.
