Joshua 3:7-9
New English Translation
7 The Lord told Joshua, “This very day I will begin to honor you before all Israel,[a] so they will know that I am with you just as I was with Moses. 8 Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenant, ‘When you reach the bank of the Jordan River,[b] wade into the water.’”[c]
9 Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the Lord your God!”

- Joshua 3:7 tn Or more literally, “to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel.”
- Joshua 3:8 tn Heb “the edge of the waters of the Jordan.” The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.
- Joshua 3:8 tn Heb “stand in the Jordan.” Here the repetition of the word “Jordan” would be redundant according to contemporary English style, so it was not included in the translation.
