Joshua 3:9 In-Context

7 The Lord said to Joshua, "This day I will begin to exalt you in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that I will be with you as I was with Moses.
8 You are the one who shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, "When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.' "
9 Joshua then said to the Israelites, "Draw near and hear the words of the Lord your God."
10 Joshua said, "By this you shall know that among you is the living God who without fail will drive out from before you the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites:
11 the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is going to pass before you into the Jordan.
