The waters rise up in one heap, and the people cross the Jordan on dry ground

흘러 내리던 물이 쌓이고 백성이 마른 땅으로 요단을 건넘

Joshua 3:14–17: when the people move from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bear the ark of the covenant are before the people. When those who bear the ark come to the Jordan and the feet of the priests who bear the ark dip in the edge of the water, the waters which came down from above stand, and rise up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, are wholly cut off. Then the people pass over near Jericho. The priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant stand firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, and all Israel crosses over on dry ground, until all the nation has passed completely over the Jordan. The text adds in parentheses, “for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest.”
