Joshua 3:15-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 Now the Jordan overflows its banks throughout the harvest season.(A) But as soon as the priests carrying the ark reached the Jordan, their feet touched the water at its edge 16 and the water flowing downstream stood still, rising up in a mass that extended as far as[a] Adam, a city next to Zarethan. The water flowing downstream into the Sea of the Arabah(B) (the Dead Sea) was completely cut off, and the people crossed opposite Jericho.
