요단 서편의 아모리 사람의 모든 왕과 해변의 가나안 사람의 모든 왕이 여호와께서 요단 물을 이스라엘 자손들 앞에서 말리시고 우리를 건네셨음을 듣고 마음이 녹았고 이스라엘 자손들의 연고로 정신을 잃었더라
Tosefta Sotah
And as soon as the feet of the priests first entered the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan piled up, as it is said (Josh. 3:16), "And the water piled up [... at Adam, the town that is next to] Tzartan." Twelve mil by twelve mil was the height of the water, the words of Rabbi Yehuda. Said, Rabbi Elazar bar Shimon, and which one is lighter, water or man? They would say water is lighter than man. It teaches that the waters were stacked up and reached upward, wave upon wave, about three hundred mil, until the kings of every nation saw them, as it is said (Josh. 5:1), "And when all the kings of the Amorites, which are on the other side of the Jordan westward ... heard [that God had dried up the waters of the Jordan], etc." And so too Rachab says to the emissaries of Joshua (Josh. 2:10-11), "For we heard that God had dried up the Sea of Reeds before them, etc., and when we heard, our hearts melted, etc."
