CH. 3 As soon as the priests stepped into the waters of Jordon, they stood still, the ark was to accomplish what had been done by the rod of Moses.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2005 Reply to John
4:6,7,21-24 On two occasions the record goes out of its way to highlight the importance of the stone monument as a trigger for children's curiosity in understanding God's activities (vv6,7 give the "What"; vv. 21-24 give the "Why") Children are naturally inquisitive and God wants parents to respond to that curiosity by providing answers. Fobbing children off ("too busy", "Go ask your Sunday School teacher") is not what God wants. Sadly, there may come a time when children don't ask questions, because they don't get answers. What a lost opportunity for bonding and education!

1. And Joshua <3091> rose early <7925>(8686) in the morning <1242>; and they removed <5265>(8799) from Shittim <7851>, and came <935>(8799) to Jordan <3383>, he and all the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and lodged <3885>(8799) there before they passed over <5674>(8799).
2. And it came to pass after <7097> three <7969> days <3117>, that the officers <7860>(8802) went <5674>(8799) through <7130> the host <4264>;
3. And they commanded <6680>(8762) the people <5971>, saying <559>(8800), When ye see <7200>(8800) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> your God <430>, and the priests <3548> the Levites <3881> bearing <5375>(8802) it, then ye shall remove <5265>(8799) from your place <4725>, and go <1980>(8804) after <310> it.
4. Yet there shall be a space <7350> between you and it, about two thousand <505> cubits <520> by measure <4060>: come not near <7126>(8799) unto it, that ye may know <3045>(8799) the way <1870> by which ye must go <3212>(8799): for ye have not passed <5674>(8804) this way <1870> heretofore <8543> <8032>.
5. And Joshua <3091> said <559>(8799) unto the people <5971>, Sanctify <6942>(8690) yourselves: for to morrow <4279> the LORD <3068> will do <6213>(8799) wonders <6381>(8737) among <7130> you.
6. And Joshua <3091> spake <559>(8799) unto the priests <3548>, saying <559>(8800), Take up <5375>(8798) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285>, and pass over <5674>(8798) before <6440> the people <5971>. And they took up <5375>(8799) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285>, and went <3212>(8799) before <6440> the people <5971>.
7. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Joshua <3091>, This day <3117> will I begin <2490>(8686) to magnify <1431>(8763) thee in the sight <5869> of all Israel <3478>, that they may know <3045>(8799) that, as I was with Moses <4872>, so I will be with thee.
8. And thou shalt command <6680>(8762) the priests <3548> that bear <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285>, saying <559>(8800), When ye are come <935>(8800) to the brink <7097> of the water <4325> of Jordan <3383>, ye shall stand still <5975>(8799) in Jordan <3383>.
9. And Joshua <3091> said <559>(8799) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, Come hither <5066>(8798), and hear <8085>(8798) the words <1697> of the LORD <3068> your God <430>.
10. And Joshua <3091> said <559>(8799), Hereby ye shall know <3045>(8799) that the living <2416> God <410> is among <7130> you, and that he will without fail <3423>(8687) drive out <3423>(8686) from before <6440> you the Canaanites <3669>, and the Hittites <2850>, and the Hivites <2340>, and the Perizzites <6522>, and the Girgashites <1622>, and the Amorites <567>, and the Jebusites <2983>.
11. Behold, the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the Lord <113> of all the earth <776> passeth over <5674>(8802) before <6440> you into Jordan <3383>.
12. Now therefore take <3947>(8798) you twelve <8147> <6240> men <376> out of the tribes <7626> of Israel <3478>, out of every <259> tribe <7626> a man <376>.
13. And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles <3709> of the feet <7272> of the priests <3548> that bear <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the LORD <3068>, the Lord <113> of all the earth <776>, shall rest <5117>(8800) in the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383>, that the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> shall be cut off <3772>(8735) from the waters <4325> that come down <3381>(8802) from above <4605>; and they shall stand <5975>(8799) upon an <259> heap <5067>.
14. And it came to pass, when the people <5971> removed <5265>(8800) from their tents <168>, to pass over <5674>(8800) Jordan <3383>, and the priests <3548> bearing <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> before <6440> the people <5971>;
15. And as they that bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> were come <935>(8800) unto Jordan <3383>, and the feet <7272> of the priests <3548> that bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> were dipped <2881>(8738) in the brim <7097> of the water <4325>, (for Jordan <3383> overfloweth <4390>(8804) all his banks <1415> all the time <3117> of harvest <7105>,)
16. That the waters <4325> which came down <3381>(8802) from above <4605> stood <5975>(8799) and rose up <6965>(8804) upon an <259> heap <5067> very <3966> far <7368>(8687) from the city <5892> Adam <121>, that is beside <6654> Zaretan <6891>: and those that came down <3381>(8802) toward the sea <3220> of the plain <6160>, even the salt <4417> sea <3220>, failed <8552>(8804), and were cut off <3772>(8738): and the people <5971> passed over <5674>(8804) right against Jericho <3405>.
17. And the priests <3548> that bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> stood <5975>(8799) firm <3559>(8687) on dry ground <2724> in the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, and all the Israelites <3478> passed over <5674>(8802) on dry ground <2724>, until all the people <1471> were passed <5674> <0> clean <8552>(8804) over <5674>(8800) Jordan <3383>.
1. And it came to pass, when all the people <1471> were clean <8552>(8804) passed over <5674>(8800) Jordan <3383>, that the LORD <3068> spake <559>(8799) unto Joshua <3091>, saying <559>(8800),
2. Take <3947>(8798) you twelve <8147> <6240> men <582> out of the people <5971>, out of every <259> tribe <7626> a man <376>,
3. And command <6680>(8761) ye them, saying <559>(8800), Take <5375>(8798) you hence out of the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, out of the place where the priests <3548>' feet <7272> stood <4673> firm <3559>(8687), twelve <8147> <6240> stones <68>, and ye shall carry them over <5674>(8689) with you, and leave <3240>(8689) them in the lodging place <4411>, where ye shall lodge <3885>(8799) this night <3915>.
4. Then Joshua <3091> called <7121>(8799) the twelve <8147> <6240> men <376>, whom he had prepared <3559>(8689) of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, out of every <259> tribe <7626> a man <376>:
5. And Joshua <3091> said <559>(8799) unto them, Pass over <5674>(8798) before <6440> the ark <727> of the LORD <3068> your God <430> into the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, and take ye up <7311>(8685) every <259> man <376> of you a stone <68> upon his shoulder <7926>, according unto the number <4557> of the tribes <7626> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>:
6. That this may be a sign <226> among <7130> you, that when your children <1121> ask <7592>(8799) their fathers in time to come <4279>, saying <559>(8800), What mean ye by these stones <68>?
7. Then ye shall answer <559>(8804) them, That the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> were cut off <3772>(8738) before <6440> the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>; when it passed over <5674>(8800) Jordan <3383>, the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> were cut off <3772>(8738): and these stones <68> shall be for a memorial <2146> unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478> for <5704> ever <5769>.
8. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did <6213>(8799) so as Joshua <3091> commanded <6680>(8765), and took up <5375>(8799) twelve <8147> <6240> stones <68> out of the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, as the LORD <3068> spake <1696>(8765) unto Joshua <3091>, according to the number <4557> of the tribes <7626> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, and carried them over <5674>(8686) with them unto the place where they lodged <4411>, and laid them down <3240>(8686) there.
9. And Joshua <3091> set up <6965>(8689) twelve <8147> <6240> stones <68> in the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, in the place where the feet <7272> of the priests <3548> which bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> stood <4673>: and they are there unto this day <3117>.
10. For the priests <3548> which bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> stood <5975>(8802) in the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, until every thing <1697> was finished <8552>(8800) that the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Joshua <3091> to speak <1696>(8763) unto the people <5971>, according to all that Moses <4872> commanded <6680>(8765) Joshua <3091>: and the people <5971> hasted <4116>(8762) and passed over <5674>(8799).
11. And it came to pass, when all the people <5971> were clean <8552>(8804) passed over <5674>(8800), that the ark <727> of the LORD <3068> passed over <5674>(8799), and the priests <3548>, in the presence <6440> of the people <5971>.
12. And the children <1121> of Reuben <7205>, and the children <1121> of Gad <1410>, and half <2677> the tribe <7626> of Manasseh <4519>, passed over <5674>(8799) armed <2571> before <6440> the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, as Moses <4872> spake <1696>(8765) unto them:
13. About forty <705> thousand <505> prepared <2502>(8803) for war <6635> passed over <5674>(8804) before <6440> the LORD <3068> unto battle <4421>, to the plains <6160> of Jericho <3405>.
14. On that day <3117> the LORD <3068> magnified <1431>(8765) Joshua <3091> in the sight <5869> of all Israel <3478>; and they feared <3372>(8799) him, as they feared <3372>(8804) Moses <4872>, all the days <3117> of his life <2416>.
15. And the LORD <3068> spake <559>(8799) unto Joshua <3091>, saying <559>(8800),
16. Command <6680>(8761) the priests <3548> that bear <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the testimony <5715>, that they come up <5927>(8799) out of Jordan <3383>.
17. Joshua <3091> therefore commanded <6680>(8762) the priests <3548>, saying <559>(8800), Come ye up <5927>(8798) out of Jordan <3383>.
18. And it came to pass, when the priests <3548> that bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> were come up <5927>(8800) out of the midst <8432> of Jordan <3383>, and the soles <3709> of the priests <3548>' feet <7272> were lifted up <5423>(8738) unto the dry land <2724>, that the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> returned <7725>(8799) unto their place <4725>, and flowed <3212>(8799) over all his banks <1415>, as <8543> they did before <8032>.
19. And the people <5971> came up <5927>(8804) out of Jordan <3383> on the tenth <6218> day of the first <7223> month <2320>, and encamped <2583>(8799) in Gilgal <1537>, in the east <4217> border <7097> of Jericho <3405>.
20. And those twelve <8147> <6240> stones <68>, which they took out <3947>(8804) of Jordan <3383>, did Joshua <3091> pitch <6965>(8689) in Gilgal <1537>.
21. And he spake <559>(8799) unto the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), When your children <1121> shall ask <7592>(8799) their fathers <1> in time to come <4279>, saying <559>(8800), What mean these stones <68>?
22. Then ye shall let your children <1121> know <3045>(8689), saying <559>(8800), Israel <3478> came over <5674>(8804) this Jordan <3383> on dry land <3004>.
23. For the LORD <3068> your God <430> dried up <3001>(8689) the waters <4325> of Jordan <3383> from before <6440> you, until ye were passed over <5674>(8800), as the LORD <3068> your God <430> did <6213>(8804) to the Red <5488> sea <3220>, which he dried up <3001>(8689) from before <6440> us, until we were gone over <5674>(8800):
24. That all the people <5971> of the earth <776> might know <3045>(8800) the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068>, that it is mighty <2389>: that ye might fear <3372>(8804) the LORD <3068> your God <430> for ever <3117>.

TO US A CHILD IS BORN
With Christmas only one day away, this is a part of the Bible that we often hear quoted at this time of year. Yet it is a very important part of scripture because it foretells of the birth of the Messiah, the saviour of the world. It tells of his mission and his achievement and also of the future role of the child who was to be born.
It is a good thing so many people remember the birth of Christ at this time of year because it provides us with plenty of openings to show Jesus to people in a way they have never seen him before – in a way, with God’s blessing, that will be life changing to those who hear.
At Christmas most people remember the birth of Jesus, in a manger, in Bethlehem. They remember the shepherds, the angels and the three wise men. Our job is to shift the paradigm to show, not only the child, but the man, the saviour, the sacrifice, the love, the resurrection and the future hope of his kingdom established in peace and righteousness. That is what the gospel is all about. Tell the whole story today.

1. Nevertheless the dimness <4155> shall not be such as was in her vexation <4164>, when <6256> at the first <7223> he lightly afflicted <7043>(8689) the land <776> of Zebulun <2074> and the land <776> of Naphtali <5321>, and afterward <314> did more grievously afflict <3513>(8689) her by the way <1870> of the sea <3220>, beyond <5676> Jordan <3383>, in Galilee <1551> of the nations <1471>.
2. The people <5971> that walked <1980>(8802) in darkness <2822> have seen <7200>(8804) a great <1419> light <216>: they that dwell <3427>(8802) in the land <776> of the shadow of death <6757>, upon them hath the light <216> shined <5050>(8804).
3. Thou hast multiplied <7235>(8689) the nation <1471>, and not increased <1431>(8689) the joy <8057>: they joy <8055>(8804) before <6440> thee according to the joy <8057> in harvest <7105>, and as men rejoice <1523>(8799) when they divide <2505>(8763) the spoil <7998>.
4. For thou hast broken <2865>(8689) the yoke <5923> of his burden <5448>, and the staff <4294> of his shoulder <7926>, the rod <7626> of his oppressor <5065>(8802), as in the day <3117> of Midian <4080>.
5. For every battle <5430> of the warrior <5431>(8802) is with confused noise <7494>, and garments <8071> rolled <1556>(8775) in blood <1818>; but this shall be with burning <8316> and fuel <3980> of fire <784>.
6. For unto us a child <3206> is born <3205>(8795), unto us a son <1121> is given <5414>(8738): and the government <4951> shall be upon his shoulder <7926>: and his name <8034> shall be called <7121>(8799) Wonderful <6382>, Counsellor <3289>(8802), The mighty <1368> God <410>, The everlasting <5703> Father <1>, The Prince <8269> of Peace <7965>.
7. Of the increase <4766> of his government <4951> and peace <7965> there shall be no end <7093>, upon the throne <3678> of David <1732>, and upon his kingdom <4467>, to order <3559>(8687) it, and to establish <5582>(8800) it with judgment <4941> and with justice <6666> from henceforth even for <5704> ever <5769>. The zeal <7068> of the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635> will perform <6213>(8799) this.
8. The Lord <136> sent <7971>(8804) a word <1697> into Jacob <3290>, and it hath lighted <5307>(8804) upon Israel <3478>.
9. And all the people <5971> shall know <3045>(8804), even Ephraim <669> and the inhabitant <3427>(8802) of Samaria <8111>, that say <559>(8800) in the pride <1346> and stoutness <1433> of heart <3824>,
10. The bricks <3843> are fallen down <5307>(8804), but we will build <1129>(8799) with hewn stones <1496>: the sycomores <8256> are cut down <1438>(8795), but we will change <2498>(8686) them into cedars <730>.
11. Therefore the LORD <3068> shall set up <7682>(8762) the adversaries <6862> of Rezin <7526> against him, and join <5526> <0> his enemies <341>(8802) together <5526>(8770);
12. The Syrians <758> before <6924>, and the Philistines <6430> behind <268>; and they shall devour <398>(8799) Israel <3478> with open mouth <6310>. For all this his anger <639> is not turned away <7725>(8804), but his hand <3027> is stretched out still <5186>(8803).
13. For the people <5971> turneth <7725>(8804) not unto him that smiteth <5221>(8688) them, neither do they seek <1875>(8804) the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>.
14. Therefore the LORD <3068> will cut off <3772>(8686) from Israel <3478> head <7218> and tail <2180>, branch <3712> and rush <100>, in one <259> day <3117>.
15. The ancient <2205> and honourable <6440> <5375>(8803), he <1931> is the head <7218>; and the prophet <5030> that teacheth <3384>(8688) lies <8267>, he is the tail <2180>.
16. For the leaders <833>(8764) of this people <5971> cause them to err <8582>(8688); and they that are led <833>(8794) of them are destroyed <1104>(8794).
17. Therefore the Lord <136> shall have no joy <8055>(8799) in their young men <970>, neither shall have mercy <7355>(8762) on their fatherless <3490> and widows <490>: for every one is an hypocrite <2611> and an evildoer <7489>(8688), and every mouth <6310> speaketh <1696>(8802) folly <5039>. For all this his anger <639> is not turned away <7725>(8804), but his hand <3027> is stretched out still <5186>(8803).
