Joshua 3:3-6

VIN(i) 3 and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then you shall move from your place, and follow it. 4 »You should keep a space of a thousand yards between you and the ark. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go: for you have not passed this way before.« 5 Joshua said to the people: "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you." 6 And Joshua said to the priests, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people." And they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.
