When the priests carrying the Ark came to the edge of the river and stepped into the water, ¹⁶ the water ·upstream [^Lgoing down from above] stopped flowing. It stood up in a heap a great distance away at Adam, a town near Zarethan. The water flowing down to the Sea of Arabah (the ·Dead [^LSalt] Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed the river ·near [opposite; across from] Jericho.
