¹⁰ For we have heard how the Lord ^(A)dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and ^(B)what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to ^(C)Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction.^[a]

²³ For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, ^(A)which he dried up for us until we passed over,

²¹ Then Moses ^(A)stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by ^(B)a strong east wind all night and ^(C)made the sea dry land, and the waters were ^(D)divided. ²² And ^(E)the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being ^(F)a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. ²³ The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. ²⁴ And in the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, ²⁵ clogging^[a] their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the ^(G)Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”

¹³ And ^(A)when the soles of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the Lord, ^(B)the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off from flowing, and the waters coming down from above shall ^(C)stand in one heap.”

¹⁴ So when the people set out from their tents to pass over the Jordan with the priests bearing ^(D)the ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ and as soon as those bearing the ark had come as far as the Jordan, and ^(E)the feet of the priests bearing the ark were dipped in the brink of the water (now ^(F)the Jordan overflows all its banks ^(G)throughout the time of harvest), ¹⁶ the waters coming down from above stood and rose up in a heap very far away, at Adam, the city that is beside ^(H)Zarethan, and those flowing down towards the Sea of ^(I)the Arabah, ^(J)the Salt Sea, were completely cut off. And the people passed over opposite Jericho. ¹⁷ Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, ^(K)and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.
