Joshua 3:3-8

3and they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, “When you seeH7200 the 1arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 with the LeviticalH3881 priestsH3548 carryingH5375 it, then you shall setH5265 out from your placeH4725 and goH1980 afterH310 it. 4HoweverH389, there shall be betweenH996 you and it a distanceH7350 of about 2,000H505 2cubitsH520 by measureH4060. Do not comeH7126 nearH7126 it, that you may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by whichH834 you shall goH1980, for you have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 beforeH4480H8543H8032.”

5Then JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “3ConsecrateH6942 yourselves, for tomorrowH4279 the LordH3068 will doH6213 wondersH6381 amongH7130 you.” 6And JoshuaH3091 spokeH559 to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, “TakeH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 and crossH5674 overH5674 aheadH6440 of the peopleH5971.” So they tookH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 and wentH1980 aheadH6440 of the peopleH5971.

7Now the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “ThisH2088 dayH3117 I will beginH2490 to 4exaltH1431 you in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that justH3512 as I have beenH1961 with MosesH4872, I will be with you. 8You shall, moreover, commandH6680 the priestsH3548 who are carryingH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, ‘When you comeH935 to the edgeH7097 of the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383, you shall standH5975 still in the JordanH3383.’”
