Joshua 3:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to honor you in front of all the people of Israel. I will do this to let them know that I am with you just as I was with Moses. ⁸ Order the priests who carry the ark of the promise, ‘When you step into the water of the Jordan River, stand there.’ ”

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