Joshua 3:4 in Context — Joshua 3
2 E passados três dias, os oficiais atravessaram por meio do acampamento,
3 E mandaram ao povo, dizendo: Quando virdes a arca do pacto do SENHOR vosso Deus, e os sacerdotes e levitas que a levam, vós partireis de vosso lugar, e marchareis atrás dela.
4 Porém entre vós e ela haja distância como da medida de dois mil côvados: e não vos aproximareis dela, a fim de que saibais o caminho por onde haveis de ir: porquanto vós não passastes antes de agora por este caminho.
5 E Josué disse ao povo: Santificai-vos, porque o SENHOR fará amanhã entre vós maravilhas.
6 E falou Josué aos sacerdotes, dizendo: Tomai a arca do pacto, e passai diante do povo. E eles tomaram a arca do pacto, e foram diante do povo.
