When thou hast entered into the land, which thy Lord God shall give to thee, and wieldest it, and dwellest therein, and sayest, I shall ordain a king on me, as all nations by compass have;
Hear thou, Israel; thou shalt pass over Jordan today, that thou wield the most nations, and stronger than thou; great cities, and walled till to heaven;
Pass ye through the midst of the castles [or tents], and command ye to the people, and say ye, Make ye ready meats to you; for after the third day ye shall pass [over] Jordan, and ye shall enter to wield the land, which your Lord God shall give to you.
