Joshua 4:10-18

10For the priests who carried the ark were standing in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the Lord had commanded Joshua to tell the people, in accordance with everything that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people hurried and crossed [the dry riverbed];

11and when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of the Lord and the priests crossed over in the presence of the people.

12The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed for battle before the [other] sons of Israel, just as Moses had spoken to them;

13about 40,000 [men] armed and equipped for war crossed for battle before the Lord to the desert plains of Jericho.

14On that day the Lord magnified and exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; so they feared him [with profound awe and reverence], just as they had feared Moses all the days of his life.

15Now the Lord said to Joshua,

16“Order the priests carrying the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.”

17So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, “Come up out of the Jordan.”

18When the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord had come up from the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of their feet were raised up to the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and flowed over all its banks as before.
