THE MESSAGE
Then Joshua addressed the People of Israel: "Attention! Listen to what God , your God, has to say. This is how you'll know that God is alive among you—he will completely dispossess before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites. Look at what's before you: the Chest of the Covenant. Think of it—the Master of the entire earth is crossing the Jordan as you watch. Now take twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each tribe. When the soles of the feet of the priests carrying the Chest of God , Master of all the earth, touch the Jordan's water, the flow of water will be stopped—the water coming from upstream will pile up in a heap."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then Joshua said to the sons of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God."

Contextual Overview

7 Then said Yahweh unto Joshua: This day, will I begin to magnify thee in the eyes of all Israel, - who shall know, that, as I was with Moses, I will be with thee. 8 Thou, therefore, shalt command the priests who am bearing the ark of the covenant, saying, - When ye are come as far as the edge of the waters of the Jordan, in the Jordan, shall ye stand. 9 Then said Joshua, unto the sons of Israel, - Draw near hither, and hear ye the words of Yahweh your God. 10 And Joshua said, Hereby, shall ye know, that a Living GOD is in your midst, - and that he will, certainly dispossess, from before you, the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Hivite and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite. 11 Lo! the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth, is about to pass before you into the Jordan. 12 Now, therefore, take you twelve men, out of the tribes of Israel, - one man severally for each tribe; 13 and it shall be, when the soles of the feet of the priests who are bearing the ark of Yahweh, Lord of all the earth, do rest, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, shall be cut off, the waters that are coming down from above, - and shall stand in one mound.
