Joshua 3:14-17

14So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying 1the ark of the covenant before the people,

15and when those who were carrying the ark came up to the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark 2stepped down into the edge of the water (for the 3Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),

16then 4the waters which were 5flowing down from above stood and rose up in 6one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were 7flowing down toward the sea of the 8Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.

17And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm 9on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.
