Chapter 3 And Joshua rose early in the
morning, and they removed from Shittim,

00:05.820 --> 00:09.460
and came to Jordan, he and all the
children of Israel, and lodged there

00:09.460 --> 00:10.440
before they passed over.

00:11.080 --> 00:14.920
And it came to pass after three days,
that the officers went through the host,

00:15.060 --> 00:18.400
and they commanded the people,
saying, When ye see the ark of the

00:18.400 --> 00:22.680
covenant of the Lord your God,
and the priests the Levites bearing it,

00:23.140 --> 00:27.040
then ye shall remove from your place,
and go after it.

00:27.040 --> 00:32.960
Yet there shall be a space between you and
it, about two thousand cubits by measure.

00:33.900 --> 00:39.580
Come not near unto it, that ye may know
the way by which ye must go, for ye have

00:39.580 --> 00:41.800
not passed this way heretofore.

00:42.000 --> 00:46.720
And Joshua said unto the people,
Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord

00:46.720 --> 00:48.000
will do wonders among you.

00:48.280 --> 00:51.900
And Joshua spake unto the priests,
saying, Take up the ark of the covenant,

00:52.580 --> 00:53.940
and pass over before the people.

00:53.940 --> 00:57.120
And they took up the ark of the covenant,
and went before the people.

00:58.640 --> 01:02.880
And the Lord said unto Joshua,
This day will I begin to magnify thee in

01:02.880 --> 01:07.160
the sight of all Israel, that they may
know that as I was with Moses,

01:07.800 --> 01:09.100
so I will be with thee.

01:09.840 --> 01:13.620
And thou shalt command the priests that
bear the ark of the covenant, saying,

01:14.280 --> 01:18.940
When ye are come to the brink of the water
of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.

01:19.360 --> 01:23.760
And Joshua said unto the children of
Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of

01:23.760 --> 01:24.620
the Lord your God.

01:25.000 --> 01:30.300
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that
the living God is among you, and that he

01:30.300 --> 01:35.380
will without fail drive out from before
you the Canaanites, and the Hittites,

01:35.660 --> 01:40.400
and the Hivites, and the Perizzites,
and the Gergeshites, and the Amorites,

01:40.820 --> 01:41.540
and the Jebusites.

01:42.540 --> 01:48.020
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the
Lord of all the earth passeth over before

01:48.020 --> 01:48.900
you into Jordan.

01:50.140 --> 01:56.320
Now, therefore take you twelve men out of
the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a

01:56.320 --> 01:56.640
man.

01:57.620 --> 02:02.360
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the
soles of the feet of the priests that bear

02:02.360 --> 02:08.560
the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the
earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan,

02:09.260 --> 02:12.800
that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off
from the waters that come down from above,

02:13.400 --> 02:15.600
and they shall stand upon an heap.

02:15.600 --> 02:19.420
And it came to pass, when the people
removed from their tents to pass over

02:19.420 --> 02:22.700
Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of
the covenant before the people,

02:23.260 --> 02:27.160
and as they that bear the ark were come
unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests

02:27.160 --> 02:31.360
that bear the ark were dipped in the brim
of the water, for Jordan overfloweth all

02:31.360 --> 02:35.320
his banks all the time of harvest,
that the waters which came down from above

02:35.320 --> 02:39.980
stood and rose up upon a heap very far
from the city Adam, that is, beside

02:39.980 --> 02:40.640
Zeratam.

02:41.120 --> 02:46.180
And those that came down toward the sea of
the plain, even the salt sea, failed and

02:46.180 --> 02:49.540
were cut off, and the people passed over
right against Jericho.

02:50.260 --> 02:53.900
And the priests that bear the ark of the
covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry

02:53.900 --> 02:58.060
ground in the midst of Jordan,
and all the Israelites passed over on dry

02:58.060 --> 03:01.160
ground, until all the people were passed
clean over Jordan.
