Joshua 3
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1And Yeshua arose early in the morning and they picked up from Sittim, and all those of the house of Israel came unto the Jordan, and they lodged there and they did not cross over 2And after three days the Rulers passed through within the camp 3And they commanded the people and they said to them: “When you have seen the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH your God and the Priests and the Levites who bear it, then pick up from your places and go after it 4And there will be a space between you and the ark about two thousand cubits only by measure; you shall not come near it, so that you will know the way that you will go on it, because you have not passed on the way from yesterday and from the day before yesterday”

5And Yeshua said to the people: “Be hallowed, because tomorrow LORD JEHOVAH does a wonder among you” 6And Yeshua said to the Priests: “Take the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people”, and they picked up the ark of the covenant and they crossed over before the people

7And LORD JEHOVAH said to Yeshua: “From today I shall begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moshe, I shall be also with you 8And you command the Priests who bear the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH and say to them: “Whenever you have come to the head of the waters of Jordan, stand in the Jordan!” 9And Yeshua said to the children of Israel: “Come here and hear the words of LORD JEHOVAH your God” 10And Yeshua said: “In this you shall know that God lives among you and he is destroying from before you the Hittites and the Canaanites and the Kharites and the Perizites and the Gergusites and the Amorites and the Yebusites 11Behold the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH, The Lord of all the Earth, goes before you in the Jordan 12Therefore take to you twelve men from all the tribes of Israel, one man from each tribe 13And whenever the soles of the feet of the Priests who bear the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH, The Lord of all the Earth, have rested in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of Jordan shall be divided. The waters that run down from above will stand up as in water skins, one beside the other”

14And when the people picked up from their tents to cross the Jordan, the Priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant were going before the people 15And when the bearers of the ark arrived unto the Jordan, the feet of the Priests who were carrying the ark were made wet on the banks of the waters, and Jordan was full, brink to brink, all the days of harvest 16And the waters that were running down from upstream rose up; they stood up like that in water skins, one side beside the other; they went very far from Aram the city that is on the side of Tsaretam, and that went down to the Sea of the West, the Sea of Salt. They stopped and they were divided, but the people crossed over next to Yerikho 17And the Priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH stood on dry land within the Jordan, and all of the house of Israel were prepared. They crossed over on dry land until all the people finished crossing the Jordan
