¹¹ the ark for the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is going on ahead of you across the Yarden. ¹² Now choose yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Isra’el, one man for each tribe. ¹³ As soon as the cohanim carrying the ark of Adonai, the Lord of all the earth, put the soles of their feet in the water of the Yarden, the water of the Yarden will be cut off upstream and stand piled up like an embankment.”
