was with Moses, so I will be with you.
003:008 You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant,
saying, 'When you come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan,
you shall stand still in the Jordan.'"
003:009 Joshua said to the children of Israel, "Come here, and hear
the words of Yahweh your God."
003:010 Joshua said, "Hereby you shall know that the living God is
among you, and that he will without fail drive the Canaanite,
and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite,
and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite out
from before you.
003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth
passes over before you into the Jordan.
003:012 Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel,
for every tribe a man.
003:013 It shall come to pass, when the soles of the feet of the priests
who bear the ark of Yahweh, the Lord of all the earth,
rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan
will be cut off, even the waters that come down from above;
and they shall stand in one heap."
003:014 It happened, when the people moved from their tents to pass
over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant
being before the people,

004:003 and command them, saying, 'Take from out of the middle 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 you will lodge tonight.'"
004:004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared
