' feet stood firm； twelve stones； and ye shall carry them over with you； and leave them in the lodging place； where ye shall lodge this night。
4：4于是，约书亚将他从以色列人中所预备的那十二个人，每支派一人，都召了来。
Then Joshua called the twelve men； whom he had prepared of the children of Israel； out of every tribe a man：
4：5对他们说，你们下约旦河中，过到耶和华你们神的约柜前头，按着以色列人十二支派的数目，每人取一块石头扛在肩上。
And Joshua said unto them； Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan； and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder； according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel：
4：6这些石头在你们中间可以作为证据。日后，你们的子孙问你们说，这些石头是什么意思。
That this may be a sign among you； that when your children ask their fathers in time to e； saying； What mean ye by these stones？
4：7你们就对他们说，这是因为约旦河的水在耶和华的约柜前断绝。约柜过约旦河的时候，约旦河的水就断绝了。这些石头要作以色列人永远的纪念。
Then ye shall answer them； That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD； when it passed over Jordan； the waters of Jordan were cut off： and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever。
4：8以色列人就照约书亚所吩咐的，按着以色列人支派的数目，从约旦河中取了十二块石头，都遵耶和华所吩咐约书亚的行了。他们把石头带过去，到他们所住宿的地方，就放在那里。
And the children of Israel did so as Joshua manded； and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan； as the LORD spake unto Joshua； according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel； and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged； and laid them down there。
4：9约书亚另把十二块石头立在约旦河中，在抬约柜的祭司脚站立的地方。直到今日，那石头还在那里。
And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan； in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood： and they are there unto this day。
4：10抬约柜的祭司站在约旦河中，等到耶和华晓谕约书亚吩咐百姓的事办完了，是照摩西所吩咐约书亚的一切话。于是百姓急速过去了。
For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan； until everything was finished that the LORD manded Joshua to speak unto the people； according to all that Moses manded Joshua： and the people hasted and passed over。
4：11众百姓尽都过了河，耶和华的约柜和祭司就在百姓面前过去。
And it came to pass； when all the people were clean passed over； that the ark of the LORD passed over； and the priests； in the presence of the people。
4：12流便人，迦得人，玛拿西半支派的人都照摩西所吩咐他们的，带着兵器在以色列人前头过去。
And the children of Reuben； and the children of Gad； and half the tribe of Manasseh； passed over armed before the children of Israel； as Moses spake unto them：
4：13约有四万人都准备打仗，在耶和华面前过去，到耶利哥的平原，等候上阵。
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle； to the plains of Jericho。
4：14当那日，耶和华使约书亚在以色列众人眼前尊大。在他平生的日子，百姓敬畏他，像从前敬畏摩西一样。
On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel； and they feared him； as they feared Moses； all the days of his life。
4：15耶和华晓谕约书亚说，
And the LORD spake unto Joshua； saying；
4：16你吩咐抬法柜的祭司从约旦河里上来。
mand the priests that bear the ark of the testimony； that they e up out of Jordan。
4：17约书亚就吩咐祭司说，你们从约旦河里上来。
Joshua therefore manded the priests； saying； e ye up out of Jordan。
4：18抬耶和华约柜的祭司从约旦河里上来，脚掌刚落旱地，约旦河的水就流到原处，仍旧涨过两岸。
And it came to pass； when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were e up out of the midst of Jordan； and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land； that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place； and flowed over all his banks； as they did before。
4：19正月初十日，百姓从约旦河里上来，就在吉甲，在耶利哥的东边安营。
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month； and encamped in Gilgal； in the east border of Jericho。
4：20他们从约旦河中取来的那十二块石头，约书亚就立在吉甲，
And those twelve stones； which they took out of Jordan； did Joshua pitch in Gilgal。
4：21对以色列人说，日后你们的子孙问他们的父亲说，这些石头是什么意思。
And he spake unto the children of Israel； saying； When your children shall ask their fathers in time to e； saying； What mean these stones？
4：22你们就告诉他们说，以色列人曾走乾地过这约旦河。
Then ye shall let your children know； saying； Israel came over this Jordan on dry land。
4：23因为耶和华你们的神在你们前面使约旦河的水乾了，等着你们过来，就如耶和华你们的神从前在我们前面使红海乾了，等着我们过来一样，
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you； until ye were passed over； as the LORD your God did to the Red sea； which he dried up from before us； until we were gone over：
4：24要使地上万民都知道，耶和华的手大有能力，也要使你们永远敬畏耶和华你们的神。
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD； that it is mighty： that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever。
旧约 约书亚记（Joshua） 第 5 章 （ 本篇共有 24 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
5：1约旦河西亚摩利人的诸王和靠海迦南人的诸王，听见耶和华在以色列人前面使约旦河的水乾了，等到我们过去，他们的心因以色列人的缘故就消化了，不再有胆气。
And it came to pass； when all the kings of the Amorites； which were on the side of Jordan westward； and all the kings of the Canaanites； which were by the sea； heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel； until we were passed over； that their heart melted； neither was there spirit in them any more； because of the children of Israel。
5：2那时，耶和华吩咐约书亚说，你制造火石刀，第二次给以色列人行割礼。
At that time the LORD said unto Joshua； Make thee sharp knives； and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time。
5：3约书亚就制造了火石刀，在除皮山那里给以色列人行割礼。
And Joshua made him sharp knives； and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins。
5：4约书亚行割礼的缘故，是因为从埃及出来的众民，就是一切能打仗的男丁，出了埃及以后，都死在旷野的路上。
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise： All the people that came out of Egypt； that were males； even all the men of war； died in the wilderness by the way； after they came out of Egypt。
5：5因为出来的众民都受过割礼。惟独出埃及以后，在旷野的路上所生的众民都没有受过割礼。
Now all the people that came out were circumcised： but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt； them they had not circumcised。
5：6以色列人在旷野走了四十年，等到国民，就是出埃及的兵丁，都消灭了，因为他们没有听从耶和华的话。耶和华曾向他们起誓，必不容他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓，应许赐给我们的地，就是流奶与蜜之地。
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness； till all the people that were men of war； which came out of Egypt； were consumed； because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD： unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land； which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us； a land that floweth with milk and honey。
5：7他们的子孙，就是耶和华所兴起来接续他们的，都没有受过割礼。因为在路上没有给他们行割礼，约书亚这才给他们行了。
And their children； whom he raised up in their stead； them Joshua circumcised： for they were uncircumcised； because they had not circumcised them by the way。
5：8国民都受完了割礼，就住在营中自己的地方，等到痊愈了。
And it came to pass； when they had done circumcising all the people； that they abode in their places in the camp； till they were whole。
5：9耶和华对约书亚说，我今日将埃及的羞辱从你们身上辊去了。因此，那地方名叫吉甲（吉甲就是辊的意思），直到今日。
And the LORD said unto Joshua； This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you。 Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day。
5：10以色列人在吉甲安营。正月十四日晚上，在耶利哥的平原守逾越节。
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal； and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho。
5：11逾越节的次日，他们就吃了那地的出产。正当那日吃无酵饼和烘的谷。
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover； unleavened cakes； and parched corn in the selfsame day。
5：12他们吃了那地的出产，第二日吗哪就止住了，以色列人也不再有吗哪了。那一年，他们却吃迦南地的出产。
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land； neither had the children of Israel manna any more； but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year。
5：13约书亚靠近耶利哥的时候，举目观看，不料，有一个人手里有拔出来的刀，对面站立。约书亚到他那里，问他说，你是帮助我们呢，是帮助我们敌人呢。
And it came to pass； when Joshua was by Jericho； that he lifted up his eyes and looked； and； behold； there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand： and Joshua went unto him； and said unto him； Art thou for us； or for our adversaries？
5：14他回答说，不是的，我来是要作耶和华军队的元帅。约书亚就俯伏在地下拜，说，我主有什么话吩咐仆人。
And he said； Nay； but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now e。 And Joshua fell on his face to the earth； and did worship； and said unto him； What
