Joshua 3:3-8

3And they commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, When ye seeH7200 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430, and the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 bearingH5375 it, then ye shall removeH5265 from your placeH4725, and goH1980 afterH310 it. 4Yet there shall be a spaceH7350 between you and it, about two thousandH505 cubitsH520 by measureH4060: come not nearH7126 unto it, that ye may knowH3045 the wayH1870 by which ye must goH3212: for ye have not passedH5674 this wayH1870 heretoforeH8032H8543.1 5And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, SanctifyH6942 yourselves: for to morrowH4279 YhwhH3068 will doH6213 wondersH6381 amongH7130 you. 6And JoshuaH3091 spakeH559 unto the priestsH3548, sayingH559, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. And they took upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and wentH3212 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.

7And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 will I beginH2490 to magnifyH1431 thee in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478, that they may knowH3045 that, as I was with MosesH4872, so I will be with thee. 8And thou shalt commandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, sayingH559, When ye are comeH935 to the brinkH7097 of the waterH4325 of JordanH3383, ye shall stand stillH5975 in JordanH3383.
