AAnd Iosua rose vp early, and they departed
from Setim, ∧ came vnto Iordane,
he and all the children of Israel,
and remayned there all night, afore they w&ebar;te
ouer. But after thre dayes wente the officers
thorow þe; hoost, and commaunded the
people, and sayde: Whan ye se the Arke of þe;
couenaunt of the LORDE youre God, and
the prestes from am&obar;ge the Leuites bearinge
it, departe ye then out of youre place, and
folowe after (but so, that there be rowme betwene
you and it by two thousande cubites,
∧ that ye come not nye it) þt; ye maye knowe
what waye ye shulde go: for ye neuer wente
that waye afore.
BnoteAnd Iosua sayde vnto the people: Halowe
youre selues, for tomorow shal þi; LORDE
bringe wonderous thinges to passe am&obar;ge
you. And vnto the prestes he sayde: Beare
ye the Arke of þe; couena&ubar;t, and go before
the people. Then note bare they the Arke, and
wente before the people. And the LORDE
sayde vnto Iosua: This daye wyl I begynne
to make the greate in the sighte of all Israel,
that they maie knowe, how that like as
I was with Moses, so am I with the also.
And commaunde thou the prestes that beare
the Arke, and saye: Whan ye come before
in the water of Iordane, stonde styll.

C And Iosua sayde vnto the children of Israel:
Come hither, ∧ heare the worde of the
LORDE youre God. He sayde morouer: By
this shal ye perceaue, that the lyuynge God
is amonge you, and that he shall dryue out
before you þe; Cananites, Hethites, Heuites,
Pheresites, Girgosites, Amorites and Iebusites.
Beholde, the Arke of the couenaunt of
him þt; hath domynion ouer all londes, shall
go before you in Iordane. Take now therfore
twolue men out of þe; trybes of Israel, out
of euery trybe one. And whan the soles of
the fete of the prestes that beare þe; Arke of
the LORDE the gouernoure of all londes,
are set in the water of Iordane, then shal þe;
water of Iordane withdrawe it selfe from
the water that floweth from aboue, that it
maye stonde on a heape.
D Now whan the people departed out of
their tentes, to go ouer Iordane, ∧ the prestes
bare the Arke of the couenaunt before
the people, and came into Iordane, ∧ dypte
their fete before in the water (as for Iordane
on all his banckes it was full of all maner
waters note of the londe) then the water
that came downe fr&obar; aboue, stode straight
vp vpon one heape, very farre from the cite
of Adom, that lyeth on the syde of Zarthan:
But the water that ranne downe to
the see (euen to the salt see) fell awaye, and decreased.
noteSo þe; people wente thorow ouer agaynst
Iericho. And the prestes that bare the Arke
of the LORDES couenaunt, stode drye in þe;
myddes of Iordane, readye prepared: ∧ all
Israel w&ebar;te thorow drye shod, vntyll þe; whole
people were all come ouer Iordane.
