Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 3:13

13 And it shall come to pass assoon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD , the Lord of all the earth , shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above : and [they shall stand upon an heap .

That so it may appear that this is the Lords doing, and that in pursuance, and for the accomplishment of his Covenant made with Israel.

The Lord of all this terrestrial Globe made of Earth and Water, who therefore can dispose of this River and the adjoyning Land as he pleaseth.

The Waters which now are united shall be divided, and part shall flow down the Channel towards the Dead-Sea, and the other part that is nearer the Spring or Rise of the River, and flows down from it, shall stand still.

Being as it were congealed, as the Red-Sea was, Exod. 15. 8. and so kept from overflowing all the Country.
