Joshua 3 · Grade 2

A Path in the River

Name Date

Read the Story

The people came to the Jordan River. The river was very full. It was harvest time.

Joshua told the people to get ready. He said God would do wonders the next day. The priests took the ark. They walked in front of the people.

The priests put their feet in the water. The water stopped! It stood up in a heap far away. The priests stood on dry ground in the river. All the people crossed on dry ground.

Memory Verse

“The priests who bore the ark of Yahweh’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.”

Joshua 3:17 (WEB)
