So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying ^(C1)the ark of the covenant before the people,

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.
