SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:13

Y cuando las plantas de los pies de los sacerdotes que llevan el arca del SEÑOR Señoreador de toda la tierra, fueren asentadas sobre las aguas del Jordán, las aguas del Jordán se partirán; porque las aguas que descienden de arriba se detendrán en un montón.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord , etc.] Which they were bid to take up and carry, ( Joshua 3:6); the Lord of all the earth ; this shows that not the ark, but the Lord, is called “the Lord of all the earth”, (see Gill on “ Joshua 3:11”): shall rest in the waters of Jordan ; the meaning is, as soon as their feet should touch them, or they should set their feet in them, when they came to the brink of them: [that] the waters of Jordan shall be cut off [from] the waters that come down from above ; from above the place where the priests came, and the children of Israel after passed over: and they shall stand upon an heap ; or one heap; stop and rise up high, as if piled up one upon another, and stand unmoved. This had been made known to Joshua by divine revelation, and is what he hints at, ( Joshua 3:5); and now plainly speaks out, and foretells before it came to pass; and which must serve to magnify Joshua, as in ( Joshua 3:7); and give him great credit and honour among the people.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-13 - The waters of Jordan shall be cut off. This must be done in such a wa as never was done, but in the dividing of the Red sea. That miracle i here repeated; God has the same power to finish the salvation of his people, as to begin it; the WORD of the Lord was as truly with Joshu as with Moses. God's appearances for his people ought to encourag faith and hope. God's work is perfect, he will keep his people Jordan's flood cannot keep out Israel, Canaan's force cannot turn the out again.
