Joshua 3:2-4
King James Version
Joshua 3:2-4
King James Version
2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.

2 After three days(A) the officers(B) went throughout the camp,(C) 3 giving orders to the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant(D) of the Lord your God, and the Levitical(E) priests(F) carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it. 4 Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before. But keep a distance of about two thousand cubits[a](G) between you and the ark; do not go near it.”
