Joshua says in chapter 1, verse 2, "You and all these people stand up.

Joshua...
In Chapter 1, Verse 2, it is written: "You and all these people, rise and cross the Jordan River and go to the land that I am giving to the Israelites."

They knew they had to cross the Jordan River, but how they would cross it wasn't shown.

...However, I think they knew that the Lord would do great and wondrous things.
...The Lord does the same for us.

God doesn't teach us the specifics from the beginning. But when God commanded us, we received it through faith.
...And Joshua commanded the people, "Cleanse yourselves."
Afterward, the Israelites saw the miraculous damming of the Jordan River.
...The Lord prepares a way for those who wish to cross.
When crossing the river...do not be afraid.
Don't stay in the wilderness forever.
When we move forward with pure body and soul,
we too will begin to see the wonders of the Lord❗️

Shalom 😃
