Joshua 3:16-17
New English Translation

16 the water coming downstream toward them stopped flowing.[a] It piled up far upstream[b] at Adam (the city near Zarethan); there was no water at all flowing to the sea of the rift valley (the Salt Sea).[c] The people crossed the river opposite Jericho. 17 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan. All Israel crossed over on dry ground until the entire nation was on the other side.[d]
