1. Early the next morning Joshua and all the people of Israel left Acacia. They traveled to the Jordan River and camped there before crossing it.
2. After three days the officers went through the camp.
3. They gave orders to the people. They said, “You will see the priests and Levites carrying the Ark of the Covenant with the Lord your God. Then you should leave where you are and follow it.
4. That way you will know which way to go. You have never traveled this way before. But do not follow too closely. Stay about a thousand yards behind the Ark of the Covenant.”
