And come not nye vnto it, that ye maye knowe the waye by which ye must go: for ye haue not gone by it in tymes past. 5 And Iosua sayde vnto the people, puryfye your selues, for to morowe the Lord shall shewe wonders amonge you. 6 Then Iosua spake vnto the priestes saying Take vp the arcke of the Testamente, and go before the people. And they toke vp the arcke of the testament, and wente before the people.
