Joshua 3:4-6

Complete Jewish Bible

⁴ But keep a distance between yourelves and it of about a thousand yards — don’t come any closer, so that you will understand which way to go, because you haven’t gone this way before.”

⁵ Y’hoshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, because tomorrow Adonai is going to work wonders among you.” ⁶ Then Y’hoshua said to the cohanim, “Take the ark for the covenant, and go on ahead of the people.” They took the ark for the covenant and went ahead of the people.
