7 Then ye shall answer H559 them , That H834 RPRO the waters H4325 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS were cut off H3772 before H6440 M-CMP the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS ; when it passed over H5674 Jordan H3383 , the waters H4325 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS were cut off H3772 : and these H428 D-DPRO-3MP stones H68 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS for a memorial H2146 unto the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 forever H5704 PREP .
8 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 W-VQY3MP so H3651 ADV as H834 K-RPRO Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 VPQ3MS , and took up H5375 W-VQY3MP twelve H8147 stones H68 NFP out of the midst H8432 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS , as H834 K-RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H1696 VPQ3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , according to the number H4557 of the tribes H7626 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and carried them over H5674 with H5973 PREP-3MP them unto H413 PREP the place where they lodged H4411 , and laid them down H5117 there H8033 ADV .

10 For the priests H3548 which bore H5375 the ark H727 stood H5975 VQPMP in the midst H8432 B-NMS of Jordan H3383 D-EFS , until H5704 PREP every thing H3605 CMS was finished H8552 that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS commanded H6680 VPQ3MS Joshua H3091 to speak H1696 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , according to all H3605 K-NMS that H834 RPRO Moses H4872 commanded H6680 VPQ3MS Joshua H3091 : and the people H5971 hasted H4116 and passed over H5674 .

12 And the children H1121 W-CMP of Reuben H7205 , and the children H1121 W-CMP of Gad H1410 , and half H2677 the tribe H7626 CMS of Manasseh H4519 , passed over H5674 armed H2571 before H6440 L-CMP the children H1121 W-CMP of Israel H3478 , as H834 K-RPRO Moses H4872 spoke H1696 VPQ3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them :
13 About forty H705 thousand H505 W-BMS prepared H2502 for war H6635 passed over H5674 VQQ3MP before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS unto battle H4421 , to H413 PREP the plains H6160 of Jericho H3405 .
14 On that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS the LORD H3068 EDS magnified H1431 Joshua H3091 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 ; and they feared H3372 him , as H834 K-RPRO they feared H3372 Moses H4872 , all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of his life H2416 .
15 And the LORD H3068 EDS spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS ,

20 And those H428 D-DPRO-3MP twelve H8147 MFS stones H68 , which H834 RPRO they took H3947 out of H4480 PREP Jordan H3383 D-EFS , did Joshua H3091 pitch H6965 in Gilgal H1537 .
