Joshua 3:14-16

International Standard Version

The Jordan River Stops Flowing

¹⁴ So the people set out from their tents to cross the Jordan River, with the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant in full view of the people. ¹⁵ When the priests who carried the ark entered the Jordan River, as their feet touched the water’s edge (The Jordan River overflows all of its banks daily during the harvest season.), ¹⁶ the water flowing downstream from above stood still in a single location, a great distance away at Adam, a city near Zarethan. The water that flowed south toward the sea in the Arabah (that is, the Dead^[a] Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed opposite Jericho.
