It has, however, two banks; the first, or inner one, is that of the river in its natural state, and the second, or outer one, about a furlong distant, is that of its overflowings, which it does when the summer's sun has melted the snow on mount Lebanon and Hermon, in the months of March and April. And this was the time which God chose that the Israelites should pass over it; that a miraculous interposition might be necessary; and that, by the miracle, they might be convinced of his omnipotence. Josh 4:18; 1Chr 12:15; Jer 12:5, Jer 49:19 all the time Josh 5:10-12; Lev 23:10-16; Deut 16:1-9
