Yosua 3:4

3:4 But stay about three thousand feet behind it. ³  Keep your distance ⁴  so you can see ⁵  which way you should go, for you have not traveled this way before.”

[1:17]  ¹ tn Heb “listened to.”

[3:4]  ³ tn Heb “But there should be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits in measurement.”

[3:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “know.”
