Joshua 3:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
Then Joshua got up early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they spent the night there before they crossed.
2
Then at the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp;
3
and they commanded the people, saying, 'When you see the ark of the covenant of the
Lord
your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it.
4
However, there shall be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measurement. Do not come near it, so that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before.'
5
Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the
Lord
will do miracles among you.'
6
And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, 'Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people.' So they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.
7
Now the
Lord
said to Joshua, 'This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they will know that just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you.
King James Version
Chapter 3
1
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the
Lord
your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the
Lord
will do wonders among you.
6
And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7
And the
Lord
said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
Joshua started early the next morning and left the Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing.
2
After three days the officers went through the camp
3
and commanded the people: "When you see the ark of the covenant of the
Lord
your God carried by the Levitical priests, you are to break camp and follow it.
4
But keep a distance of about a thousand yards between yourselves and the ark. Don’t go near it, so that you can see the way to go, for you haven’t traveled this way before."
5
Joshua told the people, "Consecrate yourselves, because the
Lord
will do wonders among you tomorrow."
6
Then he said to the priests, "Carry the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people." So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.
7
The
Lord
spoke to Joshua: "Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they will know that I will be with you just as I was with Moses.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
1
Early the next morning Joshua and all the Israelites left Acacia Grove and arrived at the banks of the Jordan River, where they camped before crossing.
2
Three days later the Israelite officers went through the camp,
3
giving these instructions to the people: 'When you see the Levitical priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the
Lord
your God, move out from your positions and follow them.
4
Since you have never traveled this way before, they will guide you. Stay about half a mile behind them, keeping a clear distance between you and the Ark. Make sure you don’t come any closer.'
5
Then Joshua told the people, 'Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the
Lord
will do great wonders among you.'
6
In the morning Joshua said to the priests, 'Lift up the Ark of the Covenant and lead the people across the river.' And so they started out and went ahead of the people.
7
The
Lord
told Joshua, 'Today I will begin to make you a great leader in the eyes of all the Israelites. They will know that I am with you, just as I was with Moses.
