*
Now therefore ,
take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel ,
one man from every tribe .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD ,
the Lord of all the earth ,
shall rest in the waters of the Jordan ,
that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off ,
the waters that come down from upstream ,
and they shall stand as a heap ."
*
So it was ,
when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan ,
with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people ,
*
and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan ,
and the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (
for the Jordan overflows all its banks during the whole time of harvest ),
*
that the waters which came down from upstream stood still ,
and rose in a heap very far away at Adam ,
the city that is beside Zaretan .
So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah ,
the Salt Sea ,
failed ,
and were cut off ;
and the people crossed over opposite Jericho .
