21 Then Moses (A)stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by (B)a strong east wind all night and (C)made the sea dry land, and the waters were (D)divided. 22 And (E)the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being (F)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging[a] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the (G)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(A) over the sea,(B) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(C) and turned it into dry land.(D) The waters were divided,(E) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(F) on dry ground,(G) with a wall(H) of water on their right and on their left.

23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(I) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(J) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(K) 25 He jammed[a] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(L) for them against Egypt.”(M)

13 And (A)when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord, (B)the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall (C)stand in one heap.”

14 So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing (D)the ark of the covenant before the people, 15 and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and (E)the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now (F)the Jordan overflows all its banks (G)throughout the time of harvest), 16 the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside (H)Zarethan, and those flowing down towards the Sea of (I)the Arabah, (J)the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. 17 Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, (K)and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.

13 And as soon as the priests who carry the ark of the Lord—the Lord of all the earth(A)—set foot in the Jordan, its waters flowing downstream(B) will be cut off(C) and stand up in a heap.(D)

14 So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant(E) went ahead(F) of them. 15 Now the Jordan(G) is at flood stage(H) all during harvest.(I) Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, 16 the water from upstream stopped flowing.(J) It piled up in a heap(K) a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan,(L) while the water flowing down(M) to the Sea of the Arabah(N) (that is, the Dead Sea(O)) was completely cut off.(P) So the people crossed over opposite Jericho.(Q) 17 The priests(R) who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stopped in the middle of the Jordan and stood on dry ground,(S) while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.(T)
