Joshua 3:9-13

9Joshua said to the Israelites, ‘Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God.

10The God who lives for ever is with you. He will certainly chase the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites out from this land. Then you will have their land. The Lord will show you that he will certainly do this.

11Look now! The Covenant Box of the Lord of all the earth will go into the Jordan River in front of you.

12Now choose 12 men, one from each tribe of Israel's family.

13Watch the priests who are carrying the Covenant Box. As soon as their feet touch the water of the river, you will see that the water stops running. It will rise up like a wall.’
