5And Joshua said to the people, Make yourselves holy, for tomorrow the Lord will do works of wonder among you.
6Then Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the agreement and go over in front of the people. So they took up the ark of the agreement and went in front of the people.
7And the Lord said to Joshua, From now on I will give you glory in the eyes of all Israel, so that they may see that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
8And you are to give orders to the priests who take up the ark of the agreement, and say, When you come to the edge of the waters of Jordan, go no further.
9And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come to me here: and give ear to the words of the Lord your God.
10And Joshua said, By this you will see that the living God is among you, and that he will certainly send out from before you the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Hivite and the Perizzite and the Girgashite and the Amorite and the Jebusite.
11See, the ark of the agreement of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into Jordan.
