Joshua 4:18-24

18It came about when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord had come up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were 1lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks as before.

19Now the people came up from the Jordan on the 2tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal, on the eastern edge of Jericho. 20As for 34those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set them up 5at Gilgal. 21And he said to the sons of 6Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What are these stones?’ 22then you shall inform your children, saying, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on 7dry ground.’ 23For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed, just as the Lord your God had done to the 8Red Sea, 9which He dried up before us until we had crossed; 24so that 10all the peoples of the earth may know that the 11hand of the Lord is mighty, so that you may 1213fear the Lord your God 14forever.”
