the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.

ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૩:૧૬
ત્યારે ઉપલી તરફથી વહેનાર પાણી ઠરી ગયું અને ઘણે દૂર સુધી, એટલે સારેથાન પાસેના આદમ નગર સુધી, ઢગલો થઈ ગયું. અને અરાબાના સમુદ્ર એટલે ખારા સમુદ્રની તરફ જે વહેતું હતું તે વહી ગયું અને લોક યરીખોની સામે પેલે પાર ઊતર્યા.
हिन्दीयहोशू ३:१६
तब जो जल ऊपर की ओर से बहा आता था वह बहुत दूर, अर्थात् आदाम नगर के पास जो सारतान के निकट है रुककर एक ढेर हो गया, और दीवार सा उठा रहा, और जो जल अराबा का ताल, जो खारा ताल भी कहलाता है उसकी ओर बहा जाता था, वह पूरी रीति से सूख गया; और प्रजा के लोग यरीहो के सामने पार उतर गए।

In context

14When the people moved from their tents to pass over the Jordan, the priests who bore the ark of the covenant being before the people,

15and when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the time of harvest),

16the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.

17The priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the nation had passed completely over the Jordan.
