Men det ska vara ett avstånd mellan er och den på omkring två tusen alnar. Kom inte närmare den, så att ni vet vilken väg ni ska gå, eftersom ni inte har gått den vägen förut.
SKB
men var noga med att låta det vara ett avstånd på omkring 2 000 alnar [900 meter; 4 Mos 35:5] mellan den och er. Närmare bör ni inte komma den, för att ni ska veta vilken väg ni ska gå, eftersom ni inte har gått den vägen förut.” [Arken symboliserar Guds närvaro, hans person och hans löften. I den guldbelagda trälådan (1,2 m lång och 0,6 m bred och hög) låg stentavlorna med budorden, se 2 Mos 25:10-22. Arken var alltid i mitten av lägret, både när man stod still och när man vandrade. De leviter som var ättlingar till Kehat, kehatiterna, skötte i normala fall sysslorna vid arken och bar den, men nu skulle i stället prästerna, dvs. ättlingarna till Aron, bära arken före folket. Dessa instruktioner är specifika för just detta tillfälle då man ska passera Jordanfloden, en anledning kan vara att arken skulle vara synlig för alla och lätt att följa då man korsade floden. Texten berättar inte om arken fortfarande var täckt av förhänget som under transporten tidigare i öknen, se 2 Mos 40:19. Avståndet 2 000 alnar är den sträcka man fick gå på en sabbat, se 4 Mos 35:5.]
