Joshua 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a](A) between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
5 Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves,(B) for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things(C) among you.”
6 Joshua said to the priests, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on ahead of the people.” So they took it up and went ahead of them.
