1 and to be like/as as which to finish all [the] nation to/for to pass [obj] [the] Jordan and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua to/for to say

When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,

2 to take: take to/for you from [the] people two ten human man one man one from tribe

“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,

3 and to command [obj] them to/for to say to lift: raise to/for you from this from midst [the] Jordan from station foot [the] priest to establish: establish two ten stone and to pass: bring [obj] them with you and to rest [obj] them in/on/with lodging which to lodge in/on/with him [the] night

So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,

and said to them, “Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of Israel,

Thus the Israelites did as Joshua had commanded them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, one for each tribe of Israel, just as the LORD had told Joshua; and they carried them to the camp, where they set them down.

9 and two ten stone to arise: establish Joshua in/on/with midst [the] Jordan underneath: stand station foot [the] priest to lift: bear ark [the] covenant and to be there till [the] day [the] this

Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood. And the stones are there to this day.

10 and [the] priest to lift: bear [the] ark to stand: stand in/on/with midst [the] Jordan till to finish all [the] word: thing which to command LORD [obj] Joshua to/for to speak: speak to(wards) [the] people like/as all which to command Moses [obj] Joshua and to hasten [the] people and to pass

Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until the people had completed everything the LORD had commanded Joshua to tell them, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried across,

11 and to be like/as as which to finish all [the] people to/for to pass and to pass ark LORD and [the] priest to/for face: before [the] people

and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.

12 and to pass son: descendant/people Reuben and son: descendant/people Gad and half tribe [the] Manasseh armed to/for face: before son: descendant/people Israel like/as as which to speak: speak to(wards) them Moses

The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.

13 like/as forty thousand to arm [the] army: war to pass to/for face: before LORD to/for battle to(wards) plain Jericho

About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.

14 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to magnify LORD [obj] Joshua in/on/with eye: seeing all Israel and to fear: revere [obj] him like/as as which to fear: revere [obj] Moses all day life his

On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses.

15 and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua to/for to say

Then the LORD said to Joshua,

16 to command [obj] [the] priest to lift: bear ark [the] testimony and to ascend: rise from [the] Jordan

“Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”

17 and to command Joshua [obj] [the] priest to/for to say to ascend: rise from [the] Jordan

So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”

18 and to be (like/as to ascend: rise *Q(K)*) [the] priest to lift: bear ark covenant LORD from midst [the] Jordan to tear palm: sole foot [the] priest to(wards) [the] dry ground and to return: return water [the] Jordan to/for place their and to go: walk like/as yesterday three days ago upon all bank his

When the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the Jordan and their feet touched the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their course and overflowed all the banks as before.

19 and [the] people to ascend: rise from [the] Jordan in/on/with ten to/for month [the] first and to camp in/on/with Gilgal in/on/with end east Jericho

On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.

20 and [obj] two ten [the] stone [the] these which to take: take from [the] Jordan to arise: establish Joshua in/on/with Gilgal

And there at Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.

21 and to say to(wards) son: descendant/people Israel to/for to say which to ask [emph?] son: descendant/people your tomorrow [obj] father their to/for to say what? [the] stone [the] these

Then Joshua said to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their fathers, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’

For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, just as He did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over.
