According to the provided reference from Joshua 3:1-2, Joshua did not personally part the Jordan River.
The biblical text describes the event as follows:
- Joshua led the Israelites to the Jordan River after leaving Shittim.
- They camped there before crossing.
- The reference explicitly states, "The Israelites crossed the Jordan River on dry ground as God miraculously parted the waters."
Key Details from the Reference:
Based on this passage:
- Who parted the waters? God.
- How were they parted? Miraculously.
- What was the result? The Israelites crossed on dry ground.
- Joshua's role: He led the people to the river to prepare for the crossing.
In summary, the reference indicates that the parting of the Jordan River was a miraculous act performed by God, enabling the Israelites, under Joshua's leadership, to cross safely on dry land. Joshua's role was that of the leader guiding the people to this divine intervention, not the individual performing the act of parting the waters.
