Joshua 4:10-18

10The kohanim who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything that Adonai had commanded Joshua to speak to the people was completed, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people hurried across,

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

12Also the children of Reuben, the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed ahead of Bnei-Yisrael, just as Moses had said to them—

13about 40,000 equipped for war crossed over before Adonai for battle to the plains of Jericho.

14On that day Adonai exalted Joshua in the eyes of all Israel. So they revered him, just as they had revered Moses all the days of his life.

15Then Adonai spoke to Joshua saying:

16“Command the kohanim who are carrying the ark of the testimony to come up from the Jordan.”

17Joshua therefore commanded the kohanim saying, “Come up from the Jordan!”

18As soon as the kohanim who were carrying the ark of the covenant of Adonai came up from the middle of the Jordan and the soles of the feet of the kohanim were drawn up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed all its banks as before.
