“And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.”
You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, 'When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan' — Joshua receives specific instructions for the priests: they are to carry the ark to the edge of the Jordan and then stand still in the waters. The verb 'stand still' places the priests in a position of immobility while the water flows around them.
