Crossing the Jordan (Level 3 | 74)

We explore the pivotal moment when the Israelites, led by Joshua, cross the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Through divine intervention, God halts the river’s flow, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground, mirroring the miraculous Red Sea crossing. This event not only demonstrates God's continuous support but also instills fear in the surrounding nations. We delve into the significance of the twelve-stone memorial set up to commemorate this miracle, and the acts of obedience that followed, including circumcision and the celebration of Passover. These acts marked a new beginning for the Israelites and reinforced their identity as God's chosen people.
