Midrash su Giosuè 3:15
וּכְב֞וֹא נֹשְׂאֵ֤י הָֽאָרוֹן֙ עַד־הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן וְרַגְלֵ֤י הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ נֹשְׂאֵ֣י הָֽאָר֔וֹן נִטְבְּל֖וּ בִּקְצֵ֣ה הַמָּ֑יִם וְהַיַּרְדֵּ֗ן מָלֵא֙ עַל־כָּל־גְּדוֹתָ֔יו כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י קָצִֽיר׃
e quando quelli che portavano l'arca vennero nel Giordano, e i piedi dei sacerdoti che portavano l'arca furono immersi sull'orlo dell'acqua—poiché la Giordania trabocca tutte le sue sponde per tutto il tempo del raccolto—
Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
On the fifth day the waters in Egypt were changed into blood. On the fifth day our forefathers went forth from Egypt. On the same (i.e. fifth) day the waters of the Jordan stood still before the ark of the Covenant of God. On the same (i.e. fifth) day Hezekiah stopped the fountains which were in Jerusalem, as it is said, "This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon" (2 Chron. 32:80).
