Yosua 3:15

3:15 When the ones carrying the ark reached the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the ark touched the surface ¹  of the water – (the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest time) ²  –

Mazmur 67:7

67:7 May God bless us! ³ 

Then all the ends of the earth will give him the honor he deserves. ⁴ 

Yeremia 5:24

5:24 They do not say to themselves, ⁵ 

“Let us revere the Lord our God.

It is he who gives us the autumn rains and the spring rains at the proper time.

It is he who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.” ⁶ 

[3:15]  ¹ tn Heb “dipped into the edge.”

[3:15]  ² tn Heb “and the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest.”

[3:15]  sn The lengthy description of the priests’ arrival at the Jordan and the parenthetical reminder that the Jordan was at flood stage delay the climax of the story and add to its dramatic buildup.

[67:7]  ³ tn The prefixed verb forms in vv. 6b-7a are understood as jussives.

[67:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “will fear him.” After the jussive of the preceding line, the prefixed verbal form with prefixed vav (ו) conjunctive is understood as indicating purpose/result. (Note how v. 3 anticipates the universal impact of God showing his people blessing.) Another option is to take the verb as a jussive and translate, “Let all the ends of the earth fear him.”

[5:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “say in their hearts.”

[5:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “who keeps for us the weeks appointed for harvest.”
