Joshua 3:17

"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."

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The miraculous passage to the holy land through Jordan is not less pregnant with typical meaning than that through the Red Sea (compare1 Corinthians 10:1-2). The solemn inauguration of Joshua to his office, and his miraculous attestation, by the same waters with which Jesus was baptized on entering on the public exercise of His ministry (compareMatthew 3:16-17); the choice of twelve men, one from each tribe to be the bearers of the twelve stones, and the builders of the monument erected therewith (compare1 Corinthians 3:10;Revelation 21:14): these were divinely-ordered occurrences, not without a further bearing than their more immediate one upon Israel.
