Joshua 3:8-13

Joshua 3:8-13

[8] And thou shalt command  the priests  that bear  the ark  of the covenant,  saying,  When ye are come  to the brink  of the water  of Jordan,  ye shall stand still  in Jordan.  [9] And Joshua  said  unto the children  of Israel,  Come hither,  and hear  the words  of the LORD  your God.  [10] And Joshua  said,  Hereby ye shall know  that the living  God  is among  you, and that he will without fail  from before  you the Canaanites,  and the Hittites,  and the Hivites,  and the Perizzites,  and the Girgashites,  and the Amorites,  and the Jebusites.  [11] Behold, the ark  of the covenant  of all the earth  passeth over  before  you into Jordan.  [12] Now therefore take  you twelve  men  out of the tribes  of Israel,  out of every  tribe  a man.  [13] And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles  of the feet  of the priests  that bear  the ark  of the LORD,  of all the earth,  shall rest  in the waters  of Jordan,  that the waters  of Jordan  shall be cut off  from the waters  that come down  from above;  and they shall stand  upon an  heap.
