Joshua 3:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ Joshua also told the priests, “Take the ark of the promise, and go ahead of the people.” They did as they were told.

⁷ Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to honor you in front of all the people of Israel. I will do this to let them know that I am with you just as I was with Moses. ⁸ Order the priests who carry the ark of the promise, ‘When you step into the water of the Jordan River, stand there.’ ”
