If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “telling them that as soon as they come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, they are to stand still in the Jordan.’”
3:8 As they crossed the Jordan River, the Ark led the way until the feet of the priests entered the water; the priests were to stand in the Jordan, not on the dry land. By carrying the Ark into the water first, the obedient priests would show their faith (cp. Jas 2:18).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
