What happensPermalink
Joshua prepares Israel to cross the Jordan River, which God will miraculously dry up as long as the priests carrying the ark of the covenant are standing in the river.
Why it mattersPermalink
Just as Moses led Israel across the Red Sea, Joshua leads them across the Jordan River. God shows that He is with Joshua just as He was with Moses.
Key versePermalink
The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.”
