Joshua 3:14-16

Names of God Bible

¹⁴ So they broke camp to cross the Jordan River. The priests who carried the ark of the promise went ahead of the people. ¹⁵ (The Jordan overflows all its banks during the harvest season.)^[a] When the priests who were carrying the ark came to the edge of the Jordan River and set foot in ¹⁶ the water, the water stopped flowing from upstream. The water rose up like a dam as far away as the city of Adam near Zarethan. The water flowing down toward the Sea of the Plains (the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. Then the people crossed from the east side of the Jordan River directly opposite Jericho.
