Joshua 3:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ and gave this order to the people: “As soon as you see the priests from the tribe of Levi carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, you are to set out from your position and follow the ark. ⁴ But keep a distance between you and the ark—about three thousand feet.^[a] Do not get too close to it, so that you can determine which way you should go, because you have never crossed over this way before.”

⁵ Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, because tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”
