9:1 Listen, Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan so you can dispossess the nations there, people greater and stronger than you who live in large cities with extremely high fortifications. 1
3:14 So when the people left their tents to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went 7 ahead of them. 3:15 When the ones carrying the ark reached the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark touched the surface 8 of the water – (the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest time) 9 – 3:16 the water coming downstream toward them stopped flowing. 10 It piled up far upstream 11 at Adam (the city near Zarethan); there was no water at all flowing to the sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea). 12 The people crossed the river opposite Jericho. 13 3:17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan. All Israel crossed over on dry ground until the entire nation was on the other side. 14
