Across on dry ground

16the waters flowing down from above stood still; they rose up in one heap, very far away, at Adam, the city beside Zarethan. And those flowing down toward the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were completely cut off, and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

17And the priests carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel was crossing on dry ground until the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan.
