But stay about three thousand feet behind it. Keep your distance so you can see which way you should go, for you have not traveled this way before."

The Lord told Joshua, "This very day I will begin to honor you before all Israel so they will know that I am with you just as I was with Moses. Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, 'When you reach the bank of the Jordan River, wade into the water.'"
