Great(i) 3 and commaunded the people sayinge: when ye se the arcke of the testament of the Lord youre God, & the preastes that are Leuites bearing it: ye shall departe from youre place, & go after it. 4 So yet that there shall be a space betwene you & it, aboute a two thousande cubites by measure. And ye shal not come nye vnto it, that ye maye knowe the waye, by which ye must go: for ye haue not gone this waye in tymes past 5 And Iosua sayd vnto the people: Sanctifie youre selues, for tomorowe the Lorde shall do wonders amonge you. 6 And Iosua spake vnto the preastes, saying: Take vp the arcke of the couenaunt: & go before the people. And they toke vp the arcke of the testament, and went before the people.
