Joshua 3
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἰησοῦς τὸ πρωὶ καὶ ἀπῆρεν ἐκ Σάττειν· καὶ ἤλθοσαν ἕως τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ κατέλυσαν ἐκεῖ πρὸ τοῦ διαβῆναι.
Early the next morning Joshua got up and left Shittim (note: Or Acacia Grove) with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan, where they camped before crossing over.
καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας διῆλθον οἱ γραμματεῖς διὰ τῆς παρεμβολῆς
After three days the officers went through the camp
καὶ ἐνετείλαντο τῷ λαῷ λέγοντες Ὅταν ἴδητε τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς Λευείτας αἴροντας αὐτήν, ἀπαρεῖτε ἀπὸ τῶν τόπων ὑμῶν καὶ πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτῆς.
and commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God being carried by the Levitical priests, you are to set out from your positions and follow it.
ἀλλὰ μακρὰν ἔστω ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκείνης, ὅσον δισχιλίους πήχεις στήσεσθε· μὴ προσεηίσητε αὐτῇ· ἵν ἐπίστησθε τὴν ὁδὸν ἣν πορεύεσθε αὐτήν. οὐ γὰρ πεπόρευσθε τὴν ὁδὸν ἀπ’ ἐχθὲς καὶ τρίτης ἡμέρας.
But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits (note: 2,000 cubits is approximately 3,000 feet or 914.4 meters.) between yourselves and the ark. Do not go near it, so that you can see the way to go, since you have never traveled this way before.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τῷ λαῷ Ἁγνίσασθε εἰς αὔριον, ὅτι αὔριον ποιήσει ἐν ἡμῖν Κύριος θαυμαστό.
Then Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”
καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν Ἄρατε τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ προπορεύεσθε τοῦ λαοῦ. καὶ ἦραν οἱ ἱερεῖς τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ.
And he said to the priests, “Take the ark of the covenant and go on ahead of the people.” So they carried the ark of the covenant and went ahead of them.
Καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν Ἐν τῆ ἡμέρα ταύτῃ ἄρχομαι ὑψῶσαί σε κατενώπιον πάντων υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, ἵνα γνῶσιν, καθότι ἤμην μετὰ Μωυσῆ, οὕτως ἔσομαι κα μετὰ σοῦ.
Now the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you just as I was with Moses.
καὶ νῦν ἔντειλαι τοῖς ἱερεῦσιν τοῖς αἴρουσιν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης λέγων Ὡς ἄν εἰσέλθητε ἐπὶ μέσου τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ στήσεσθε.
Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters, stand in the Jordan.’”
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ Προσαυάγετε ὧδε καὶ ἀκούσατε τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”
ἐν τούτῳ γνώσεσθε ὅτι θεὸς ζῶν ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ὀλεθρεύων ὀλεθρεύσει ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν τὸν Χαναναῖον καὶ τὸν Χεττααῖον καὶ τὸν Φερεζαῖον καὶ τὸν Εὑαῖον καὶ τὸν Ἀμορραῖον καὶ τὸν Γεργεσαῖον καὶ τὸν Ἰεβουσαῖον.
He continued, “This is how you will know that the living God is among you and that He will surely drive out before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites.
ἰδοὺ ἡ κιβωτὸς διαθήκης κυρίου πάσης τῆς γῆς διαβαίνει τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth will go ahead of you into the Jordan.
προχειρίσασθε ὑμῖν δώδεκα ἄνδρας ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν ἕνα ἀφ’ ἑκάστης φυλῆς.
Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one from each tribe.
καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν οἱ πόδες τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου τῆς γῆς ἐν τῷ ὕδατι τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, τὸ ὕδωρ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐκλείψει, τὸ δὲ ὕδωρ τὸ καταβαῖνον στήσεται.
When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD—the Lord of all the earth—touch down in the waters of the Jordan, its flowing waters will be cut off and will stand up in a heap.”
Καὶ ἀπῆρεν ὁ λαὸς ἐκ τῶν σκηνωμάτων αὐτῶν διαβῆναι τὸν Ἰορδάνην, οἱ ’δε ἱερεῖς ἤροσαν τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης πρότεροι τοῦ λαοῦ.
So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carried the ark of the covenant ahead of them.
ὡς δὲ εἰσεπορεύοντο οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰορδάνην, καὶ οἱ πόδες τῶν ἱερέων τῶν αἰρόντων τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐβάφησαν εἰς μέρος τοῦ ὕδατος τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· ὁ δὲ Ἰορδάνης ἐπλήρου καθ’ ὅλην τὴν κρηπῖδα αὐτοῦ, ὡσεὶ ἡμέραι θερισμοῦ πυρῶν·
Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season. But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,
καὶ ἔστη τὰ ὕδατα τὰ καταβαίνοντα ἄνωθεν, ἔστη πῆγμα ἱν ἀφεστηκὸς μακρὰν σφόδρα σφοδρῶς ἕως μέρους Καθιαιρείν, τὸ δὲ καταβαῖνον κατέβη εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν Ἄραβά, θάλασσαν ἁλός, ἕως εἰς τὸ τέλος ἐξέλιπεν· καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἱστήκει ἀπέναντι Ἰερειχώ.
the flowing water stood still. It backed up as far upstream as Adam, a city in the area of Zarethan, while the water flowing toward the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea (note: That is, the Dead Sea)) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
καὶ καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου· καὶ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ διέβαινον διὰ ξηρᾶς, ἕως συνετέλεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς διαβαίνων τὸν Ἰορδάνην.
The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel crossed over the dry ground, until the entire nation had crossed the Jordan.
