*
And when 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 ,
the waters of the Jordan shall be stopped from flowing ,
and the waters coming down from above shall stand in one heap ."
*
So ,
when the people set out from their tents ,
to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people ,
*
and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan ,
and the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (
the Jordan overflows all its banks throughout the time of harvest ),
*
the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap far off ,
at Adam ,
the city that is beside Zar '
ethan ,
and those flowing down toward the sea of the Arabah ,
the Salt Sea ,
were wholly cut off ;
and the people passed over opposite Jericho .
*
And while all Israel were passing over on dry ground ,
the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan ,
until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan .
