Joshua spoke to the priests: Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and pass over before the people. So they took the Ark of the Covenant and went before the people.

The people left Sinai, the holy mountain. They traveled three days. Jehovah's Ark of the Covenant always went ahead of them to find a place for them to camp.

But if you kill all these people at the same time the nations who have heard these reports about you will say,

They commanded the people, saying: When you see the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, you should leave here and follow it.

The breaker (one who opens the breach) (one that breaks through) has gone ahead of them. They will pass through the gate and go out by it. Their king will lead them with Jehovah at the head of them.

In my Father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

That is where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
