Joshua 3:15-17

New International Version

¹⁵ Now the Jordan^(A) is at flood stage^(B) all during harvest.^(C) Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, ¹⁶ the water from upstream stopped flowing.^(D) It piled up in a heap^(E) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,^(F) while the water flowing down^(G) to the Sea of the Arabah^(H) (that is, the Dead Sea^(I)) was completely cut off.^(J) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.^{(K) 17} The priests^(L) who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground,^(M) while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.^(N)
