And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 3 of Joshua. God announces to Joshua that He will begin to exalt him before Israel and that the crossing of the Jordan will confirm his leadership. The ark represents the rule and presence of the living God among His people. When the priests enter the river, the waters are to stop flowing. The sign is not intended to glorify Israel’s human ability, but to demonstrate that the God who accompanied Moses continues to act with Joshua and remains committed to bringing His people into the promised land.

Wenn dann die Fußsohlen der Priester, die des HERRN Lade, des Herrschers über alle Welt, tragen, in des Jordans Wasser sich lassen, so wird das Wasser, das von oben herabfließt im Jordan, abreißen, daß es auf einem Haufen stehen bleibe.
Y cuando las plantas de los pies de los sacerdotes que llevan el arca de Jehová Señoreador de toda la tierra, fueren asentadas sobre las aguas del Jordán, las aguas del Jordán se partirán: porque las aguas que vienen de arriba se detendrán en un montón.
En cuanto las plantas de los pies de los sacerdotes que llevan el arca de Jehová, Señor de toda la tierra, reposen en las aguas del Jordán, las aguas del Jordán quedarán cortadas; las aguas que descienden de arriba se detendrán formando un solo montón».
Et dès que les sacrificateurs qui portent l'arche de l'Eternel, le Seigneur de toute la terre, poseront la plante des pieds dans les eaux du Jourdain, les eaux du Jourdain seront coupées, les eaux qui descendent d'en haut, et elles s'arrêteront en un monceau.
Ed egli avverrà che, come le piante de’ piedi de’ sacerdoti che portano l’Arca dell’Eterno Signore di tutta la terra, si poseranno nell’acque del Giordano, le acque del Giordano verranno meno; e le acque che scendono di sopra si fermeranno in un mucchio
Porque há de acontecer que, assim que as plantas dos pés dos sacerdotes, que levam a arca do SENHOR, o Senhor de toda a terra, repousem nas águas do Jordão, se separarão as águas do Jordão, e as águas, que vêm de cima, pararão amontoadas.
當抬耶和華全地之主約櫃的祭司,腳掌踏入 約旦河 水裏的時候, 約旦河 的水,就是從上往下流的水,必然中斷,豎立成壘。」
