And when Moses had stretched forth his hand over the sea, the Lord took it away by a strong and burning wind blowing all the night; and turned it into dry ground: and the water was divided.
The waters that came down from above stood in one place, and swelling up like a mountain, were seen afar off from the city that is called Adom, to the place of Sarthan: but those that were beneath ran down into the sea of the wilderness (which now is called the Dead Sea) until they wholly failed.
But the children of Israel marched through the midst of the sea upon dry land: and the waters were to them as a wall on the right hand and on the left.
And when the priests, that carry the ark of the Lord, the God of the whole earth, shall set the soles of their feet in the waters of the Jordan, the waters that are beneath shall run down and go off: and those that come from above, shall stand together upon a heap.
