Joshua 3:16 in Context — Joshua 3
14 Le peuple sortit de ses tentes pour passer le Jourdain, et les sacrificateurs qui portaient l’arche de l’alliance marchèrent devant le peuple.
15 Quand les sacrificateurs qui portaient l’arche furent arrivés au Jourdain, et que leurs pieds se furent mouillés au bord de l’eau, le Jourdain regorge par-dessus toutes ses rives tout le temps de la moisson,
16 les eaux qui descendent d’en haut s’arrêtèrent, et s’élevèrent en un monceau, à une très grande distance, près de la ville d’Adam, qui est à côté de Tsarthan; et celles qui descendaient vers la mer de la plaine, la mer Salée, furent complètement coupées. Le peuple passa vis-à-vis de Jéricho.
17 Les sacrificateurs qui portaient l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel s’arrêtèrent de pied ferme sur le sec, au milieu du Jourdain, pendant que tout Israël passait à sec, jusqu’à ce que toute la nation eût achevé de passer le Jourdain.
