Joshua 3:3-6

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 outH5265 from your placeH4725 and goH1980 afterH310 it. 4HoweverH389, there shall be a distanceH7350 betweenH996 you and it of about 2twoH505 thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measurementH4060. Do not comeH7126 nearH7126 it, soH4616 thatH4616 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 miraclesH6381 amongH7130 you.” 6And JoshuaH3091 spokeH559 to the priestsH3548, sayingH559, “TakeH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 and crossH5674 overH5674 aheadH6440 of the peopleH5971.” So they tookH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 and wentH1980 aheadH6440 of the peopleH5971.
