God Magnifies Joshua’s Authority

7

And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `This day I begin to make thee great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as I was with Moses I am with thee;

8

and thou, thou dost command the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye come unto the extremity of the waters of the Jordan--in the Jordan ye stand.'

9

And Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, `Come nigh hither, and hear the words of Jehovah your God;

10

and Joshua saith, `By this ye know that the living God is in your midst, and He doth certainly dispossess from before you the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite:

11

lo, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you into Jordan;

12

and now, take for you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man--one man for a tribe;

13

and it hath been, at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of Jehovah, Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan are cut off--the waters which are coming down from above--and they stand--one heap.'
