Joshua 3:2 In-Context

1 Early one morning Joshua and all of the people of Israel started out from Shittim. They went down to the Jordan River. They camped there before they went across it.

2 After three days the officers went all through the camp.

3 They gave orders to the people. They said, "Watch for the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. The priests, who are Levites, will be carrying it. When you see it, you must move out from where you are and follow it.

4 Then you will know which way to go. You have never gone this way before. But don't go near the ark. Stay about 1,000 yards away from it."

5 Joshua spoke to the people. He said, "Set yourselves apart to the Lord. Tomorrow he'll do amazing things among you."
