Joshua 3:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Now choose 12 men from among you. Choose 1 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. ¹³ The priests will carry the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, the Master of the whole world. They will carry it into the Jordan ahead of you. When they enter the water, the river will stop flowing. The water will be stopped. It will stand up in a heap as if a dam were there.”

¹⁴ So the priests carried the Ark of the Covenant. And the people left the place where they had camped. Then they started across the Jordan River.
