Joshua 3:7-9

New King James Version

⁷ And the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to ^(A)exalt^[a] you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, ^(B)as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. ⁸ You shall command ^(C)the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, ^(D)you shall stand in the Jordan.’ ”

⁹ So Joshua said to the children of Israel, “Come here, and hear the words of the Lord your God.”
