Joshua 3-5
After the spies returned to Joshua with the news about the land they were entering, God spoke to Joshua and told him it was time to be on the move.
There was a plan.
The priests would be in the front, holding the Ark. The people would walk behind (not too closely).
That was it. That was the plan. Well, there may have been more of a plan but that is the one that God shared with the people.
So the next day, they did exactly what God said.
The priests started walking with the Ark, and the people followed.
When the priests arrived at the banks of the Jordan, they stepped into the flowing water. And the water stopped.
Just like their ancestors before them (with the Red Sea), the people walked across the river on dry ground.
To always remember that day, a member of each tribe was asked to pick up a rock to carry to remind the people about God's provision. Yet again.
The day the people crossed, God made Joshua respected in their eyes. For the rest of his life. Just like Moses had been respected. I had to giggle a little about that...it seemed like the people were always complaining about and to Moses.
Anyway, once the people crossed the river, they camped out at Gilgal.
Then God gave one more command while the people camped.
Circumcision.
All of the men.
I won't speak further on that.
I will just say that the people continued to camp out until healing was complete.
Wonder what will happen tomorrow?
Joshua 6-7 (I think)
