Joshua 3:4 WBT

²  And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;

³  And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.

⁴  Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near to it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore.

⁵  And Joshua said to the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to-morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.

⁶  And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
