Joshua 4

¹And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Yarden [Descender] , that the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] , saying,

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

³And command you2f them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Yarden [Descender] , out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, and you2f shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where you2f shall lodge this night.

⁴Then Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , out of every tribe a man:

⁵And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] into the midst of Yarden [Descender] , and take you2f up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] :

⁶That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your children ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] you2f by these stones?

⁷Then you2f shall answer them, That the waters of Yarden [Descender] were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ; when it passed over Yarden [Descender] , the waters of Yarden [Descender] were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] forever.

⁸And the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did so as Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Yarden [Descender] , as the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] , according to the number of the tribes of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

⁹And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] set up twelve stones in the midst of Yarden [Descender] , in the place where the feet of the priests which bore the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.

¹⁰For the priests which bore the ark stood in the midst of Yarden [Descender] , until everything was finished that the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] to speak unto the people, according to all that Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] commanded Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] : and the people hasted and passed over.

¹¹And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.

¹²And the children of Re’uven [Behold a Son] , and the children of Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort] , and half the tribe of M’nasheh [Causing to Forget] , passed over armed before the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , as Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] spoke unto them:

¹³About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto battle, to the plains of Yericho [Its Moon] .

¹⁴On that day the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) magnified Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] in the sight of all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ; and they feared him, as they feared Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] , all the days of his life.

¹⁵And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] , saying,

¹⁶Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Yarden [Descender] .

¹⁷Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come you2f up out of Yarden [Descender] .

¹⁸And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) were come up out of the midst of Yarden [Descender] , [and] the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Yarden [Descender] returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as [they did] before.

¹⁹And the people came up out of Yarden [Descender] on the tenth [day] of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] , in the east border of Yericho [Its Moon] .

²⁰And those twelve stones, which they took out of Yarden [Descender] , did Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] pitch in Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling] .

²¹And he spoke unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these stones?

²²Then you2f shall let your children know, saying, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] came over this Yarden [Descender] on dry land.

²³For the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] dried up the waters of Yarden [Descender] from before you, until you2f were passed over, as the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:

²⁴That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , that it [is] mighty: that you2f might fear the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forever.
