And ye

So when the people set out from their tents to cross over the Jordan with the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant before the people,

For the priests who carried the ark were standing in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to tell the people, in accordance with everything that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people hurried and crossed [the dry riverbed];

The [Red] Sea looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.

The men

“So their sons (descendants) went in and took possession of the land;
And You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites,

To this mountain [Zion] which His right hand had acquired.

He gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan],
So that they would possess the fruits of those peoples’ labor,
