Josué 3:6 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 3:6

And Joshua spoke unto the priests
On the morrow, that is, on the tenth day of the month, the day on which they went over Jordan:

saying, take up the ark of the covenant;
in which the law was put, which was the covenant between God and the people, from whence the ark had this name; and in which it was typical of Christ, in whom both the law, the covenant of works, was fulfilled, and with whom the covenant of grace was made; who is the Mediator; surety, and messenger of it, and in whom all the blessings and promises of it are, and with whom it is, and will be kept for evermore: the ark, the priests were ordered to take up and bear on their shoulders; for no other way might they carry it; these typified the ministers of Christ who bear his name, his Gospel in the world, see ( Acts 9:15 ) ;

and pass over before the people;
over the river Jordan, to direct them in the way through it, and encourage them to follow them:

and they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people;
from the place where they had lodged the night before to the brink of the river.

4 Seulement, il y aura, entre vous et elle, environ deux milles coudées de distance; n'en approchez pas, afin que vous puissiez connaître le chemin par lequel vous devez marcher; car vous n'avez point auparavant passé par ce chemin.
5 Josué dit aussi au peuple: Sanctifiez-vous; car demain l'Éternel fera au milieu de vous des choses merveilleuses.
6 Puis Josué parla aux sacrificateurs, en disant: Prenez l'arche de l'alliance, et passez devant le peuple. Ils prirent donc l'arche de l'alliance, et marchèrent devant le peuple.
7 Et l'Éternel dit à Josué: Aujourd'hui je commencerai à t'élever à la vue de tout Israël, afin qu'ils connaissent que, comme j'ai été avec Moïse, je serai avec toi.
8 Tu commanderas donc aux sacrificateurs qui portent l'arche de l'alliance, en disant: Lorsque vous arriverez au bord des eaux du Jourdain, vous vous arrêterez dans le Jourdain.
