The Bible account tells us what happened next: “At the instant that the carriers of the Ark came as far as the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the Ark were dipped in the edge of the waters..., then the waters descending from above began to stand still. They rose up as one dam very far away at Adam. ”
Piibel jutustab toimunust: „Niipea kui need, kes kandsid laegast, jõudsid Jordani äärde ja laegast kandvate preestrite jalad puudutasid vee äärt..., jäi ülalt poolt voolav vesi seisma, jäädes paisu taha väga kaugel Aadami juures ”.
