Joshua 3:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ So the priests carried the Ark of the Covenant. And the people left the place where they had camped. Then they started across the Jordan River. ¹⁵ During harvest the Jordan is flooded. So the river was at its fullest. The priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant came to the edge of the river. And they stepped into the water. ¹⁶ Just at that moment, the water stopped flowing. It stood up in a heap a great distance away at Adam. This is a town near Zarethan. The water flowing down to the Sea of Arabah (the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed the river near Jericho.
