Joshua 4:10-18

10For the priestsH3548 which bareH5375 the arkH727 stoodH5975 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, until every thingH1697 was finishedH8552 that YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 to speakH1696 unto the peopleH5971, according to all that MosesH4872 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091: and the peopleH5971 hastedH4116 and passed overH5674. 11And it came to pass, when all the peopleH5971 were cleanH8552 passed overH5674, that the arkH727 of YhwhH3068 passed overH5674, and the priestsH3548, in the presenceH6440 of the peopleH5971. 12And the childrenH1121 of ReubenH7205, and the childrenH1121 of GadH1410, and halfH2677 the tribeH7626 of ManassehH4519, passed overH5674 armedH2571 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, as MosesH4872 spakeH1696 unto them: 13About fortyH705 thousandH505 preparedH2502 for warH6635 passed overH5674 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 unto battleH4421, to the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405.1

14On that dayH3117 YhwhH3068 magnifiedH1431 JoshuaH3091 in the sightH5869 of all IsraelH3478; and they fearedH3372 him, as they fearedH3372 MosesH4872, all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416. 15And YhwhH3068 spakeH559 unto JoshuaH3091, sayingH559, 16CommandH6680 the priestsH3548 that bearH5375 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, that they come upH5927 out of JordanH3383. 17JoshuaH3091 therefore commandedH6680 the priestsH3548, sayingH559, Come ye upH5927 out of JordanH3383. 18And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 that bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 were come upH5927 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and the solesH3709 of the priests’H3548 feetH7272 were lifted upH5423 unto the dry landH2724, that the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 returnedH7725 unto their placeH4725, and flowedH3212 over all his banksH1415, asH8543 they did beforeH8032.23
