After three dayes abode by the bankes of Iordan, 3. the Priestes with the
Arke of God entering first into the riuer, 15. the vpper part miraculously
standeth and swelleth, the lower running away, they goe into the midde
chanel, and there stay, whiles al the people passe ouer drie foote.
1 Iosve therfore rysing vp in the night, remoued the
campe: and departing from Setim, they came to Iordan,
he, and al the children of Israel, and abode there for three
dayes.
2 Which being passed, the herauldes went through
the middes of the campe,
3 and beganne to proclaime:
note When you shal see the arke of couenant of our Lord your
God, and note the priestes of the Leuitical stocke carying it,
ryse you also, and folow them going before:
4 and let there
be betwen you and the arke the space of two thousand cubites:
that you may see it a farre of, and know which way
you may goe: because you haue not walked by it before: and
beware you approch not to the arke.
5 And Iosue said to the
people: Be sanctified: for to morrow our Lord wil doe among
you merueilous thinges.
6 And he said to the priestes:
Take vp the arke of the couenant, & goe before the people.
Who fulfilling his commandementes, tooke it, and walked
before them.
7 And our Lord said to Iosue: This day wil I
beginne to exalt thee before al Israel: note that they may know
as I was with Moyses, so am I with thee also.
8 And doe

thou09Q0175 command the priestes, that carie the arke of the testament,
and say to them: When you shal be entred into part of
the water of Iordan, stand in it.
9 And Iosue said to the children
of Israel: Come hither, and heare the word of our Lord
your God.
10 And againe he said: In this you shal know that
our Lord the liuing God is in the middes of you, and shal destroy
in your sight the Chananeite and Hetheite, the Heueite
and Pherezeite, the Gergeseite also and the Iebuseite, and the
Amorrheite.
11 Behold the arke of the couenant of the Lord
of al the earth shal goe before you into Iordan.
12 Prepare
twelue men of the tribes of Israel, one of euerie tribe.
13 And
when the priestes that carie the arke of the Lord of the
whole earth shal sette the steppes of their feete in the waters
of Iordan, the waters, that are beneath, shal runne downe
and decay: and those that come from aboue, shal stand together
in one heape.
14 Therfore the people went out of their
tabernacles, to passe ouer Iordan: and the priestes, that caried
the arke of the couenant, went on before them.
15 And
they being entered into Iordan, and their feete dipped in part
of the water (and Iordan in the haruest time had filled the
bankes of his chanel)
16 the waters that came downeward
stoode in one place, and like a mountaine swelling vp appeared
farre from the citie, that is called Adom to the place of
Sarthan: but those that were beneth, ranne downe into the
Sea of the wildernes (which now is called the dead sea) vntil
they wholy dacayed.
17 And the people went against Iericho:
and the priestes that caried the arke of the couenant of our
Lord, stoode girded vpon the drie ground in the middes of
Iordan, and al the people passed ouer through the drie
chanel.
