Crossing Jordan

Joshua 3:15-17 - Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water's edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.

I wonder if the priests who carried the ark got tired while standing in the middle of the riverbed. Sure, the people hurried across, but that's still 2.5 million people to wait for.

I wonder what the people living near the town of Adam thought about the Jordan piling up there.

I wonder why it seems that this river-crossing miracle doesn't get as much "press" as the Red Sea crossing. Maybe...been there, done that?

I wonder how long the 12 stones that were set up as a memorial to this miracle stayed in place. I wonder if anyone really did ask about them later.

Some miracles, though very special and unusual, are easy to picture. Not so with the piling up of the Jordan (or the Red Sea, for that matter). Water is liquid. How does it just suddenly "pile up"?
