Note: These word pages enable you to click through to the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) that the Open English Translation Old Testament is translated from. The OSHB is based on the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC). (We are still searching for a digitized facsimile of the Leningradensis manuscript that we can easily link to. See this list and this archive for now.) This is all part of the commitment of the Open English Translation team to be transparent about all levels of the Bible translation process right back to the original manuscripts.

OET-LV: 16 And_they _stood the_waters which_came_down from_to_above they _rose a _heap one far _away very from_ʼĀdām the_city which is_from_the _side _of Tsₑrətān/(Zarethan) and_those_which_went _down to the _sea _of the _ˊArāⱱāh the _Sea _of (the)_Salt they _were _complete they _were _cut _off and_the_people they _passed _over before Yərīḩō/(Jericho). (JOS_3:16)

OET-RV: 16 then the water coming from upstream suddenly stopped flowing. The water far upstream piled up near a town called Adam (near Tsaretan), and the water that normally flowed down towards the Sea of Aravah (also called the Dead Sea or the Salt Sea) stopped flowing, so the people were able to cross what was the Yordan River opposite Yericho. (JOS 3:16)
