Joshua 4

quibus transgressis dixit Dominus ad Iosue
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
elige duodecim viros singulos per singulas tribus
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
et praecipe eis ut tollant de medio Iordanis alveo ubi steterunt sacerdotum pedes duodecim durissimos lapides quos ponetis in loco castrorum ubi fixeritis hac nocte tentoria
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
vocavitque Iosue duodecim viros quos elegerat de filiis Israhel singulos de tribubus singulis
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
et ait ad eos ite ante arcam Domini Dei vestri ad Iordanis medium et portate singuli singulos lapides in umeris vestris iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel
And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
ut sit signum inter vos et quando interrogaverint vos filii vestri cras dicentes quid sibi volunt isti lapides
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
respondebitis eis defecerunt aquae Iordanis ante arcam foederis Domini cum transiret eum idcirco positi sunt lapides isti in monumentum filiorum Israhel usque in aeternum
Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
fecerunt ergo filii Israhel sicut eis praecepit Iosue portantes de medio Iordanis alveo duodecim lapides ut ei Dominus imperarat iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel usque ad locum in quo castrametati sunt ibique posuerunt eos
And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
alios quoque duodecim lapides posuit Iosue in medio Iordanis alveo ubi steterunt sacerdotes qui portabant arcam foederis et sunt ibi usque in praesentem diem
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
sacerdotes autem qui portabant arcam stabant in Iordanis medio donec omnia conplerentur quae Iosue ut loqueretur ad populum praeceperat Dominus et dixerat ei Moses festinavitque populus et transiit
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
cumque transissent omnes transivit et arca Domini sacerdotesque pergebant ante populum
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
filii quoque Ruben et Gad et dimidiae tribus Manasse armati praecedebant filios Israhel sicut eis praeceperat Moses
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
et quadraginta pugnatorum milia per turmas et cuneos incedebant per plana atque campestria urbis Hiericho
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
in illo die magnificavit Dominus Iosue coram omni Israhel ut timerent eum sicut timuerant Mosen dum adviveret
On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
dixitque ad eum
And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
praecipe sacerdotibus qui portant arcam foederis ut ascendant de Iordane
Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
qui praecepit eis dicens ascendite de Iordane
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
cumque ascendissent portantes arcam foederis Domini et siccam humum calcare coepissent reversae sunt aquae in alveum suum et fluebant sicut ante consueverant
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
populus autem ascendit de Iordane decimo mensis primi die et castrametati sunt in Galgalis contra orientalem plagam urbis Hiericho
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
duodecim quoque lapides quos de Iordanis alveo sumpserant posuit Iosue in Galgalis
And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
et dixit ad filios Israhel quando interrogaverint filii vestri cras patres suos et dixerint eis quid sibi volunt isti lapides
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
docebitis eos atque dicetis per arentem alveum transivit Israhel Iordanem istum
Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
siccante Domino Deo vestro aquas eius in conspectu vestro donec transiretis
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
sicut fecerat prius in mari Rubro quod siccavit donec transiremus ut discant omnes terrarum populi fortissimam Domini manum et ut vos timeatis Dominum Deum vestrum omni tempore
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.
