‏ Joshua 3:4

4 But stay about 3,000 feet behind it. ^{▼▼tn Heb “But there should be a distance between you and it, about 2,000 cubits in measurement.”} ^{▼▼sn The precise distance is uncertain, but the measurement designated אַמָּה (ʾammah, “cubit”) was probably equivalent to approximately 18 inches, or 45 cm) in length.} Keep your distance ^{▼▼tn Heb “do not approach it.”} so you can see ^{▼▼tn Heb “know.”} which way you should go, for you have not traveled this way before.”
