Καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἰησοῦς τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἀπῆρεν ἐκ Σάττειν· καὶ ἤλθοσαν
ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ κατέλυσαν ἐκεῖ πρὸ τοῦ διαβῆναι.

καὶ ἐγένετο
μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας διῆλθον οἱ γραμματεῖς διὰ τῆς παρεμβολῆς

καὶ
ἐνετείλαντο τῷ λαῷ λέγοντες Ὅταν ἴδητε τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς Λευείτας αἴροντας αὐτήν, ἀπαρεῖτε ἀπὸ τῶν τόπων ὑμῶν καὶ πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.

ἀλλὰ μακρὰν ἔστω ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκείνης, ὅσον δισχιλίους
πήχεις στήσεσθε· μὴ προσεηίσητε αὐτῇ· ἵν ἐπίστησθε τὴν ὁδὸν ἣν πορεύεσθε αὐτήν. οὐ γὰρ πεπόρευσθε τὴν ὁδὸν ἀπ’ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης ἡμέρας.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τῷ λαῷ Ἁγνίσασθε εἰς αὔριον, ὅτι αὔριον
ποιήσει ἐν ἡμῖν Κύριος θαυμαστό.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν
Ἄρατε τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ προπορεύεσθε τοῦ λαοῦ. καὶ ἦραν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ.

Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν Ἐν τῆ
ἡμέρα ταύτῃ ἄρχομαι ὑψῶσαί σε κατενώπιον πάντων υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἵνα γνῶσιν, καθότι ἤμην μετὰ Μωυσῆ, οὕτως ἔσομαι κα μετὰ σοῦ.

καὶ νῦν ἔντειλαι τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς αἴρουσιν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης
λέγων Ὡς ἄν εἰσέλθητε ἐπὶ μέσου τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ στήσεσθε.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ Προσαυάγετε
ὧδε καὶ ἀκούσατε τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν.

ἐν
τούτῳ γνώσεσθε ὅτι θεὸς ζῶν ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ὀλεθρεύων ὀλεθρεύσει ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Χεττααῖον καὶ τὸν Φερεζαῖον καὶ τὸν Εὑαῖον καὶ τὸν Ἀμορραῖον καὶ τὸν Γεργεσαῖον καὶ τὸν Ἰεβουσαῖον.

ἰδοὺ ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς διαβαίνει
τὸν Ἰορδάνην.

προχειρίσασθε ὑμῖν δώδεκα ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν
ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς.

καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν
¹² οἱ πόδες τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ὕδατι τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου
ἐκλείψει, τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ τὸ καταβαῖνον στήσεται.

Καὶ ἀπῆρεν ὁ λαὸς ἐκ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν διαβῆναι τὸν Ἰορδάνην, οἱ ’δε ἱερεῖς
ἤροσαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης πρότεροι τοῦ λαοῦ.

ὡς δὲ εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ οἱ πόδες τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐβάφησαν εἰς μέρος τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· ὁ δὲ Ἰορδάνης ἐπλήρου καθ’ ὅλην τὴν κρηπῖδα αὐτοῦ, ὡσεὶ ἡμέραι θερισμοῦ
πυρῶν·

καὶ ἔστη τὰ ὕδατα τὰ καταβαίνοντα ἄνωθεν, ἔστη πῆγμα ἱν ἀφεστηκὸς μακρὰν σφόδρα σφοδρῶς ἕως μέρους Καθιαιρείν, τὸ δὲ καταβαῖνον κατέβη εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν Ἄραβά, θάλασσαν ἁλός, ἕως εἰς
τὸ τέλος ἐξέλιπεν· καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἱστήκει ἀπέναντι Ἰερειχώ.

καὶ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ διέβαινον διὰ ξηρᾶς, ἕως συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν Ἰορδάνην.

Joshua rose up early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel; and they lodged there before they passed over.

It happened after three days, that the officers went through the midst of the camp;

and they commanded the people, saying, When you see the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall remove from your place, and go after it.

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: don’t come near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way heretofore.

Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves; for tomorrow Yahweh will do wonders among you.

Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. They took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

Yahweh said to Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When you are come to the brink of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.

Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of Yahweh your God.

Joshua said, Hereby you shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.

Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passes over before you into the Jordan.

Now therefore take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, for every tribe a man.

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, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, even the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand in one heap.

It happened, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people;

and when those who bore the ark were come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest,)

that the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

The priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel passed over on dry ground, until all the nation were passed clean over the Jordan.
