Joshua 3:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel so that they will know that just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. ⁸ You are the one who will give this order to the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant: ‘As soon as you come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you are to stand still in the Jordan.’”

⁹ Joshua said to the people of Israel, “Come closer to me and listen to the words of the Lord your God.”
