²¹ Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and ^(A)made the sea into dry land, and the waters were ^(B)divided. ²² So ^(C)the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were ^(D)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

²⁶ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.” ²⁷ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea ^(A)returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord ^(B)overthrew^[a] the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. ²⁸ Then ^(C)the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained.

¹³ And it shall come to pass, ^(A)as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, ^(B)the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they ^(C)shall stand as a heap.”

¹⁴ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ^(D)ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and ^(E)the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the ^(F)Jordan overflows all its banks ^(G)during the whole time of harvest), ¹⁶ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away ^[a]at Adam, the city that is beside ^(H)Zaretan. So the waters that went down ^(I)into the Sea of the Arabah, ^(J)the 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; ^(K)and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

⁸ Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and ^(A)it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ^(B)ground.

¹⁴ Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, ^(A)it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
