Joshua 3:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 3:17

15 and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and ^athe feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the ^bJordan overflows all its banks ^cduring the whole time of harvest),

16 that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away¹ at Adam, the city that is beside ^aZaretan. So the waters that went down ^binto the Sea of the Arabah, ^cthe Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

17 Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; ^aand all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.
