⁴⁹ “^(A)Go up to this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab ^[a]opposite Jericho, and look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel as a possession.

¹⁴ So when the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan, with the priests carrying ^(A)the ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ and when those who were carrying the ark came up to the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark ^[a]stepped down into the edge of the water (for the ^(B)Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest), ¹⁶ then ^(C)the waters which were ^[b]flowing down from above stood and rose up in ^(D)one heap, a great distance away at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those which were ^[c]flowing down toward the sea of the ^(E)Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho. ¹⁷ And the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm ^(F)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.

Rest of the Land Divided

18 Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at ^(A)Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

^9 (A)For the Lord has ^[a]driven out great and mighty nations from before you; and as for you, ^(B)no one has stood against you to this day.

¹⁸ The Lord drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.”
