Joshua 4:10-18

10For the priestsH3548 that bare the arkH727 stoodH5975 in the midstH8432 of the JordanH3383, until everythingH3605 was finishedH8552 that Jehovah commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 to speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, according to all that MosesH4872 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091: and the peopleH5971 hasted and passedH5674 over. 11And it came to passH5674, when all the peopleH5971 were clean passedH5674 over, that the arkH727 of Jehovah passedH5674 over, and the priestsH3548, in the presenceH6440 of the peopleH5971. 12And the children of ReubenH7205, and the children of GadH1410, and the half-tribe of ManassehH4519, passedH5674 over armed before the children of IsraelH3478, as MosesH4872 spake unto them: 13about fortyH705 thousandH505 ready armedH2502 for warH4421 passedH5674 over before Jehovah unto battleH4421, to the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. 14On that dayH3117 Jehovah magnifiedH1431 JoshuaH3091 in the sight of all IsraelH3478; and they fearedH3372 him, as they fearedH3372 MosesH4872, all the daysH3117 of his life.

15And Jehovah spake unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, 16CommandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, that they comeH5927 up out of the JordanH3383. 17JoshuaH3091 therefore commandedH6680 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, ComeH5927 ye up out of the JordanH3383. 18And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 that bare the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah wereH1961 come up out of the midstH8432 of the JordanH3383, and the solesH3709 of the priests’H3548 feetH7272 wereH1961 liftedH5375 up unto the dryH2724 groundH2724, that the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 returnedH7725 unto their placeH4725, and wentH5927 over all its banksH1415, as aforetime.
