Joshua 3:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ Now, tell the priests who are carrying the chest to go a little way into the river and stand there.”

⁹ Joshua spoke to the people:

Come here and listen to what the Lord our God said he will do! ¹⁰ The Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites control the land on the other side of the river. But the living God will be with you and will force them out of the land when you attack. And now, God is going to prove that he's powerful enough to force them out.
