16 That the ^awaters which came down from ^babove ^cstood and rose up upon an ^dheap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even ^ethe salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

  17 And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on ^adry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
