The .iij. Chapter.

1 Iosuah commeth with the people vnto Iordane. 3 The Leuites do beare the arke, going before the people. 7 God sheweth by miracles that he is with Iosuah, and that he guydeth the people. 14 The people goeth ouer Iordane. 16 The chanell of Ior∣dane is made drye.

[unspec A] 1 ANd Iosuah rose early and they remoued frō Sittim, and came toa 1.1 Iordane, he and all the chyldren of Isra∣el: and lodged there before they went ouer.

2 And after (b) 1.2 three dayes, the officers went throughout the hoaste,

3 And commaunded the people, saying: When ye see the arke of the testament of the Lorde your God, and the priestes that are Leuites bearing it, ye shall de∣part from your place, and go after it.

4 So yet that there shalbe a space be∣tweene you and it, about * 1.3 two thou∣sand cubites by measure: And ye shall not come nye vnto it, that ye may know the way by whiche ye must go: for ye haue not gone this way in times past.

5 And Iosuah sayde vnto the people: [unspec B] * 1.4Sanctifie your selues, for to morowe

the Lord shal do wonders among you.

6 And Iosuah spake vnto the priestes, saying: Take vp the arke of the coue∣naunt, and go ouer before the people. And they toke vp the arke of the testa∣ment, and went before the people.

7 And y^e Lord sayd vnto Iosuah: This day will I beginne to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may knowe howe that * 1.5 as I was with Moyses, so will I be with thee.

8 And thou shalt cōmaunde y^e priestes that beare the arke of the couenaunt, saying: when ye are come to the edge of the waters of Iordane, ye shall stande still in c 1.6Iordane.

9 And Iosuah saide vnto the children of Israel: Come hyther, and heare the wordes of the Lorde your God.

10 And Iosuah sayde: (d) 1.7 Hereby ye shall knowe that the liuing God is among you, and that he will without fayle cast out before you the Chanaanites, and the Hethithes, the Heuites, the Pherezites, the Gergesites, the Amorites, and the Iebusites.

[unspec B] 11 Beholde, the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde of all the world, goeth before you into Iordane.

12 Nowe therfore take from among you (e) 1.8 twelue men out of the tribes of Is∣rael, out of euery tribe a man.

13 And assoone as the soles of the feete of the priestes that beare the arke of the Lorde the gouernour of all the worlde, treade in the waters of Iordane, the waters of Iordane shalbe deuided: and the waters that come from aboue shall * 1.9stande still vpon an heape.

14 And so, when the people were depar∣ted frō their tentes to go ouer Iordane, the priestes bearing * 1.10 the arke of the(f 1.11 couenaunt, went before the people.

15 And assoone as they that bare y^e arke came vnto Iordane, and the feete of the priestes that bare the arke were dyp∣ped in the brym of the water (For Ior∣dane vseth to fyll all his (g 1.12 banckes all [unspec D] the time of haruest)

16 The waters also that came downe frō aboue, did rise vp vpon an heape and departed farre from y^e citie of Adā, that was beside Zarthan: And the waters that were beneath towarde y^e sea of the wildernes, euen the salt sea, fayled and were cut of: and the people * went right ouer against Iericho.

17 And the priestes that bare the arke of the couenaunt of the Lorde, stoode drie within Iordane, redy h 1.13 prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer thorowe the drie, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer thorowe Iordane.
