¹⁴ So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing ^(A)the ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and ^(B)the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now ^(C)the Jordan overflows all its banks ^(D)throughout the time of harvest), ¹⁶ the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside ^(E)Zarethan, and those flowing down toward the Sea of ^(F)the Arabah, ^(G)the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. ¹⁷ Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, ^(H)and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.
