Now the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of YHWH stood firmly on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, and all Israel was passing over on dry ground until all the nation finished passing over the Jordan.
Joshua 3:17
The priests carrying the ark are like a father holding back the flood by upholding God's Laws and standards in his house until his children are safely across the other side and bringing up their own houses.
Recently, R. L. Solberg made a video responding to my video on Mark 7:1-23. Here is my response to his response.

One of the jobs of the Levitical priests is to lead the people in righteousness, to carry the Law and Presence of God on their shoulders where the people can see their example. This is true literally as in Joshua 3:6, and metaphorically as teachers, judges, and advisors to the people.
From verse 17, we can also derive that another one of the jobs of the Levitical priest is to stand firm in God's instructions despite mounting floods of persecution, public opinion, and other hard circumstances.
