Not to nit-pick, but Joshua 3:15-16 says "As soon as the feet of the priests
carrying the ark of the covenant touched the water, the water coming downstream

since there is no mention of it stopping? Thus the water should be portrayed
more like a single wall/dam of water on the upstream side only, rather than like
a canyon of water...
