Joshua 3:8 Summary
[Joshua 3:8 is a powerful reminder that God is always with us, even when we face uncertain or challenging situations. The priests carrying the ark of the covenant were instructed to stand in the Jordan River, demonstrating their trust in God's power and presence. This verse teaches us to trust in God's goodness and faithfulness, just as the Israelites did, and to obey His instructions, even when they seem impossible (Psalm 37:3-7, Hebrews 11:6). By doing so, we can experience God's presence and power in our lives, just as Joshua and the Israelites did.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the priests carrying the ark of the covenant in Joshua 3:8?

Why were the priests instructed to stand in the Jordan River?
The priests were instructed to stand in the Jordan River as a demonstration of faith and obedience, trusting that God would part the waters, just as He had done at the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-31.
How does this verse relate to the broader story of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan?
This verse is a pivotal moment in the Israelites' journey, as it marks the beginning of their entry into the Promised Land, which was promised to them in Genesis 12:7 and reiterated in Deuteronomy 1:8.
What can we learn from Joshua's leadership in this verse?
Joshua's leadership in this verse demonstrates his trust in God's instructions and his willingness to obey, even when the task seems impossible, which is a key principle of Christian leadership, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6 and Matthew 28:18-20.
Reflection Questions
- What are the 'waters' in my life that I need to trust God to part, and how can I demonstrate my faith and obedience like the priests in Joshua 3:8?
- How does the concept of 'standing in the Jordan' relate to my own experiences of waiting on God or feeling uncertain about the future?
- In what ways can I, like Joshua, trust in God's presence and power to guide me through challenging situations, and how can I lead others to do the same?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust God to 'exalt' me, as He did with Joshua, and how can I prepare myself for those moments of leadership and responsibility?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joshua 3:8
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. No JFB commentary on this verse.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joshua 3:8
To the brink, Heb. to the extremity; so far as the river then spread itself, which was now more than ordinary, . In Jordan; within the waters of Jordan, in the first entrance into the river; where they stood for a season, till the river was divided, and then they went into the midst of it, as it is implied, , and there abode till all the people were passed over, as it follows in the history.
Trapp's Commentary on Joshua 3:8
Joshua 3:8 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.Ver. 8. Ye shall stand still in Jordan.] "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord which he will show you today," as Exodus 14:13. Believe and prosper: consent and obey, and ye shall eat the good things of the land.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joshua 3:8
Verse 8. Ye shall stand still in Jordan.] The priests proceeded first with the ark, and entered into the bed of the river the course of which was immediately arrested, the waters collecting above the place where the priests stood, while the stream fell off towards the Dead Sea; so that the whole channel below where the priests were standing became dry. The whole camp, therefore, passed over below where the priests were standing, keeping at the distance of two thousand cubits from the ark; this they would readily do, as the whole bed of the river was dry for many miles below the place where the priests entered.
Whedon's Commentary on Joshua 3:8
8. The brink of the water — Hebrews end of the water, that is, the eastern margin of the river.
