Joshua 3:13–17

¹³And it shall come to pass, ^qas soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, ^rthe Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they ^sshall stand as a heap.”

¹⁴So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ^tark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and ^uthe feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the ^vJordan overflows all its banks ^wduring the whole time of harvest), ¹⁶that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away ⁵at Adam, the city that is beside ^xZaretan. So the waters that went down ^yinto the Sea of the Arabah, ^zthe Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho. ¹⁷Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; ^aand all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.
