Joshua 3:6
And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people. (Joshua 3:6)
Took up the ark.
 A parenthetical statement included here to indicate obedience to the command to “take up the ark.” The instructions of vs. 7-13 preceded the march to Jordan.
