"So you shall command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant, saying, 'When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.'"

and when those who were carrying the ark came up to the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark ^(F1)stepped down into the edge of the water (for the ^(C1)Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),

then ^(C1)the waters which were ^(F1)flowing down from above stood and rose up in ^(C2)one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were ^(F1)flowing down toward the sea of the ^(C3)Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.

And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm ^(C1)on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan while all Israel crossed on dry ground, until all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan.
