Dear Group,

I was working on the Amplified Version of Joshua during the weekend, and I came across a good example where EN MESWi means in the midst (among) rather than in the middle (or even a nuance of near the middle).

When the priests were carrying the ark through the Jordan, they were to stop as soon as everyone's feet were wet. Then the level of the Jordan River went down  to nothing. Even though they were near the east bank for the entire time they stood there,
they were said to be in the "midst" of the river. I did not check the LXX, but I'm confident it used EN MESWi.
