Joshua 3:9-13

9Then Joshua told the Israelites, “Come closer and listen to the words of the Lord your God.”

10He said, “You will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly dispossess before you the Canaanites, Hethites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites

11when the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth goes ahead of you into the Jordan.

12Now choose twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

13When the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of the whole earth, come to rest in the Jordan’s water, its water will be cut off. The water flowing downstream will stand up in a mass.”
