Joshua 3:3-5

Darby Translation

³ and they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then remove from your place, and go after it;

⁴ yet there shall be a distance between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Ye shall not come near it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

⁵ And Joshua said to the people, Hallow yourselves; for to-morrow Jehovah will do wonders in your midst.
