Joshua 3:16

3:16 the water coming downstream toward them stopped flowing. ¹  It piled up far upstream ²  at Adam (the city near Zarethan); there was no water at all flowing to the sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea). ³  The people crossed the river opposite Jericho. ⁴

and produce springs in the middle of the valleys.

I will turn the desert into a pool of water

and the arid land into springs.
