1Joshua woke up mad early, and they bounced from Shittim, hitting up Jordan with all the squad, chillin' there before they crossed over.

2After three days, the officers were like, “Let’s go,” and rolled through the camp.

3They told the people, “When you see the ark of the covenant, and the priests, follow that vibe and go after it.”

4Keep a solid space between you and it, like two thousand cubits: don’t get too close, so you know the way to roll, ‘cause you ain’t been here before.

5Joshua told the crew, “Get yourselves right, ‘cause tomorrow the Lord’s about to do some wild stuff.”

6Joshua said to the priests, “Grab the ark of the covenant and lead the way.” They picked it up and went ahead of the people.

7The Lord told Joshua, “Today I’m about to level you up in front of all Israel, so they know I’m with you like I was with Moses.”

8You gotta tell the priests with the ark, “When you hit the water of Jordan, just chill there.”

9Joshua called out to the Israelites, “Yo, come here and listen to what the Lord your God is saying.”

10Joshua said, “You’ll know the living God is with you, and He’s gonna kick out all those Canaanites and the rest of the crew.”

11Check it, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth is crossing over before you into Jordan.

12So get twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.

13When the priests carrying the ark step into the Jordan, the waters are gonna stop and pile up.

14When the people packed up their tents to cross Jordan, the priests with the ark went first.

15As they got to Jordan, the priests dipped their feet in the water (it was overflowing, no cap).

16The waters from above stood up like a wall far from Adam, while the ones heading to the sea went dry, and the people crossed right by Jericho.

17The priests with the ark stood strong on dry ground in the middle of Jordan, and all the Israelites crossed over like it was nothing.

1And 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.

2And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;

3And 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.

4Yet 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.

5And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.

6And 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.

7And 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.

8And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.

9And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God.

10And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

11Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

12Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

13And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

14And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

15And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)

16That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

17And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
