³ and commanded the people, “As soon as you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God being carried by ^(A)the Levitical priests, then you shall set out from your place and follow it.

⁶ And Joshua said to the priests, ^(A)“Take up the ark of the covenant and pass on before the people.” So they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the people.

¹⁴ So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing ^(A)the ark of the covenant before the people,

⁷ then you shall tell them that ^(A)the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall be to the people of Israel ^(B)a memorial forever.”
