7. Now Adonai said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.
8. You are to command the kohanim who are carrying the ark of the covenant saying: ‘When you reach the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you are to stand still in the Jordan.’”
9. So Joshua said to Bnei-Yisrael, “Come here, and listen to the words of Adonai your God.”
10. Joshua said, “By this you will know that the living God is among you, and that He will certainly drive out from before you the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Hivite, the Perizzite, the Girgashite, the Amorite and the Jebusite.
11. Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Sovereign of all the earth is advancing before you into the Jordan.
12. So now, take for yourselves twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.
