9. And Josue said to the children of Israel: Come hither and hear the word of the Lord your God.
10. And again he said: By this you shall know that the Lord the living God is in the midst of you, and that he shall destroy before your sight the Chanaanite and the Hethite, the Hevite and the Pherezite, the Gergesite also and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite.
11. Behold the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth shall go before you into the Jordan.
12. Prepare ye twelve men of the tribes of Israel, one of every tribe.
13. And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap.
14. So the people went out of their tents, to pass over the Jordan: and the priests that carried the ark of the covenant, went on before them.
