Joshua 3:6-8

New King James Version

⁶ Then Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, ^(A)“Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over before the people.”

So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

⁷ And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to ^(B)exalt^[a] you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, ^(C)as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. ⁸ You shall command ^(D)the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, ^(E)you shall stand in the Jordan.’ ”
