Crossing the Jordan River

The Israelites came to the Jordan River while it was overflowing during harvest. Joshua told the people to consecrate themselves because Yahweh would do wonders among them. The priests carried the Ark of the Covenant ahead of the people, and when their feet touched the water, the upstream water stopped far away while the water downstream flowed away. The priests stood on dry ground in the middle of the river until all Israel crossed on dry ground. Through this, God showed the people that He was with Joshua, just as He had been with Moses.
