When the Israelites reached the Jordan River, it was at flood stage since it was the harvest season. Following the command of God, Joshua told the people to cross the Jordan River without hesitation. He said when the feet of the priests carrying the [[Ark of the Covenant|ark of the covenant]] touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream would stop flowing, and they would cross the Jordan River like dry land.

As soon as the feet of the [[Priest|priests]] who carried the ark of the covenant touched the water’s edge, the water that had flooded to the top of the hill stopped, and the water flowing downstream piled up in a heap a great distance away. The Israelites walked across the Jordan on dry land.<br> | When the Israelites reached the Jordan River, it was at flood stage since it was the harvest season.
