KJV ¹ And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

VULC ¹ Quibus transgressis, dixit Dominus ad Josue :

KJV ² Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

VULC ² Elige duodecim viros singulos per singulas tribus :

KJV ³ 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.

VULC ³ et præcipe eis ut tollant de medio Jordanis alveo, ubi steterunt pedes sacerdotum, duodecim durissimos lapides, quos ponetis in loco castrorum, ubi fixeritis hac nocte tentoria.

KJV ⁴ Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

VULC ⁴ Vocavitque Josue duodecim viros, quos elegerat de filiis Israël, singulos de singulis tribubus,

KJV ⁵ And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:

VULC ⁵ et ait ad eos : Ite ante arcam Domini Dei vestri ad Jordanis medium, et portate inde singuli singulos lapides in humeris vestris, juxta numerum filiorum Israël,

KJV ⁶ 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?

VULC ⁶ ut sit signum inter vos : et quando interrogaverint vos filii vestri cras, dicentes : Quid sibi volunt isti lapides ?

KJV ⁷ 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.

VULC ⁷ respondebitis eis : Defecerunt aquæ Jordanis ante arcam fœderis Domini, cum transiret eum : idcirco positi sunt lapides isti in monimentum filiorum Israël usque in æternum.

KJV ⁸ 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.

VULC ⁸ Fecerunt ergo filii Israël sicut præcepit eis Josue, portantes de medio Jordanis alveo duodecim lapides, ut Dominus ei imperarat, juxta numerum filiorum Israël, usque ad locum in quo castrametati sunt, ibique posuerunt eos.

KJV ⁹ 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.

VULC ⁹ Alios quoque duodecim lapides posuit Josue in medio Jordanis alveo, ubi steterunt sacerdotes qui portabant arcam fœderis : et sunt ibi usque in præsentem diem.

KJV ¹⁰ For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything 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.

VULC ¹⁰ Sacerdotes autem qui portabant arcam, stabant in Jordanis medio, donec omnia complerentur, quæ Josue, ut loqueretur ad populum, præceperat Dominus, et dixerat ei Moyses. Festinavitque populus, et transiit.

KJV ¹¹ 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.

VULC ¹¹ Cumque transissent omnes, transivit et arca Domini, sacerdotesque pergebant ante populum.

KJV ¹² 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:

VULC ¹² Filii quoque Ruben, et Gad, et dimidia tribus Manasse, armati præcedebant filios Israël, sicut eis præceperat Moyses :

KJV ¹³ About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

VULC ¹³ et quadraginta pugnatorum millia per turmas, et cuneos, incedebant per plana atque campestria urbis Jericho.

KJV ¹⁴ 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.

VULC ¹⁴ In die illo magnificavit Dominus Josue coram omni Israël, ut timerent eum, sicut timuerant Moysen, dum adviveret.

KJV ¹⁵ And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,

VULC ¹⁵ Dixitque ad eum :

KJV ¹⁶ Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.

VULC ¹⁶ Præcipe sacerdotibus, qui portant arcam fœderis, ut ascendant de Jordane.

KJV ¹⁷ Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.

VULC ¹⁷ Qui præcepit eis, dicens : Ascendite de Jordane.

KJV ¹⁸ 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.

VULC ¹⁸ Cumque ascendissent portantes arcam fœderis Domini, et siccam humum calcare cœpissent, reversæ sunt aquæ in alveum suum, et fluebant sicut ante consueverant.

KJV ¹⁹ 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.

VULC ¹⁹ Populus autem ascendit de Jordane decimo die mensis primi, et castrametati sunt in Galgalis contra orientalem plagam urbis Jericho.

KJV ²⁰ And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

VULC ²⁰ Duodecim quoque lapides, quos de Jordanis alveo sumpserant, posuit Josue in Galgalis,

KJV ²¹ 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?

VULC ²¹ et dixit ad filios Israël : Quando interrogaverint filii vestri cras patres suos, et dixerint eis : Quid sibi volunt lapides isti ?

KJV ²² Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.

VULC ²² docebitis eos, atque dicetis : Per arentem alveum transivit Israël Jordanem istum,

KJV ²³ 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:

VULC ²³ siccante Domino Deo vestro aquas ejus in conspectu vestro, donec transiretis,

KJV ²⁴ 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.

VULC ²⁴ sicut fecerat prius in mari Rubro, quod siccavit donec transiremus :

VULC ²⁵ ut discant omnes terrarum populi fortissimam Domini manum, ut et vos timeatis Dominum Deum vestrum omni tempore.
