IVσυνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ
Ἰησοῖ λέγων

Παραλαβὼν ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τοῦ λαοῦ, ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς,

σύνταξον αὐτοῖς καὶ ἀνέλεσθε ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἑτοιμοὺς δώδεκα λίθους, καὶ τούτους διακομίσαντες ἅμα ὑμῖν καὶ αὐτοῖς θέτε αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ στρατοπεδίᾳ ὑμῶν, οὗ ἐὰν παρεμβάλητε ἐκεῖ
τὴν νύκτα.

καὶ ἀνακαλεσάμενος Ἰησοῦς δώδεκα ἄνδρας τῶν ἐνδόξων
ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς,

εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Προσαγάτετε ἔμπροσθέν μου πρὸ προσώπου κυρίου εἰς μέσον τοῦ ¹ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἀνελόμενος ἐκεῖθεν ἕκαστος λίθον ἀράτω ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων ²³ αὐτοῦ κατὰ τὸν ἀριθμὸν τῶν δώδεκα φυλῶν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ·

ἵνα ὑπάρχωσιν
ὑμῖν οὗτοι εἰς σημεῖον κείμενον διὰ παντός· ἵνα ὅταν ἐρωτᾷ σε ὁ υἱός σου αὔριον λέγων Τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἡμῖν;

καὶ σὺ δηλώσεις
τῷ υἱῷ σου λέγων ὅτι Ἐξέλιπεν ὁ Ἰορδάνης ποταμὸς ἀπὸ προσώπου διαθήκης κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς, ὡς διέβαινεν αὐτόν. κα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ὑμῖν μνημόσυνον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ ἕως τοῦ αἰῶνος.

καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ καθότι ἐνετείλατο
κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ· καὶ λαβόντες δώδεκα λίθους ἐκ μέσου τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ ἐν τῆ συντελείᾳ τῆς διαβάσεως Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διεκόμισαν ἅμα ἑαυτοῖς εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν καὶ ἐκεῖ.

ἔστησεν δὲ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἅλλους δώδεκα λίθους ἐν
αὐτῷ τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ἐν τῷ γενομένῳ τόπῳ ὑπὸ τοὺς πόδας τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου, καὶ εἰσὶν ἐκεῖ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.

ἱστήκεισαν δὲ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν
⁴ τῆς διαθήκης ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ἕως οὗ § συνετέλεσεν Ἰησοῦς πάντα ἃ ἐνετείλατο κύριος ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ λαῷ· καὶ ἔσπευσεν ὁ λαός, καὶ διέβησαν.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβῆναι, καὶ
διέβη ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου, καὶ οἱ λίθοι ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν.

καὶ διέβησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ῥουβὴν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Γὰδ κα οἱ ἡμίσεις φυλῆς
Μανασσὴ διεσκευασμένοι ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, καθάπερ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς.

τετρακισμύριοι εὔζωνοι εἰς μάχην διέβησαν ἐναντίον κυρίου εἰς πόλεμον πρὸς τὴν Ἰερειχὼ πόλιν.

ἐν
ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ηὔξησεν Κύριος τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐναντίον τοῦ παντὸς γένους Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν ὥσπερ Μωυσῆν, ὅσον χρόνον ἔζη.

Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος τῷ Ἰησοῖ λέγων

Ἔντειλαι τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν
τοῖς αἴρουσιν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης τοῦ μαρτυρίου κυρίου ἐκβῆναι ἐκ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν λέγων Ἔκβητε
ἐκ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξέβησαν οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν
κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου καὶ ἔθηκαν τοὺς πόδας ⁵ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ὥρμησεν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ χώραν, καὶ ἐπορεύετο
καθὰ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν δι’ ὅλης τῆς κρηπῖδος.

καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἀνέβη ἐκ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς τοῦ πρώτου· καὶ κατεστρατοπέδευσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν Γαλγάλοις κατὰ μέρος τὸ πρὸς
ἡλίου ἀνατολὰς ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰερειχώ.

καὶ τοὺς δώδεκα λίθους τούτους
οὓς ἔλαβεν ἐκ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἔστησεν Ἰησοῦς ἐν Γαλγάλοις

λέγων ὅταν ἐρωτῶσιν ὑμᾶς οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν λέγοντες Τί εἰσιν οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι;

ἀναγγείλατε τοῖς υἱοῖς ὑμῶν ὅτι Ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς διέβη Ἰσραὴλ τὸν
Ἰορδάνην τοῦτον,

ἀποξηράναντος Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐκ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτῶν μέχρι οὗ διέβησαν· καθάπερ ἔποιησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν, ἢν ἀπεξήρανεν
Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῶν ἕως παρήλθομεν·

ὅπως γνῶσιν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τῆς γῆς ὅτι ἡ δύναμις τοῦ κυρίου ἰσχυρά ἐστιν, καὶ ἵνα ὑμεῖς σέβησθε κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ.

Joshua Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 4 focus

It happened, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

and command you them, saying, Take hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place, where you shall lodge this night.

Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

and Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of Yahweh your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up every man of you a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying, What do you mean by these stones?

then you shall tell them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh; when it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.

The children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Yahweh spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there to this day.

For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Yahweh commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hurried and passed over.

It happened, when all the people had completely passed over, that the ark of Yahweh passed over, with the priests, in the presence of the people.

The children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke to them:

about forty thousand ready armed for war passed over before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.

On that day Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.

Yahweh spoke to Joshua, saying,

Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.

Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.

It happened, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh were come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.

The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.

Those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.

He spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?

Then you shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until you were passed over, as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over;

that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of Yahweh, that it is mighty; that you may fear Yahweh your God forever.
