Joshua 4:10-19

¹⁰ The priests carrying the Chest continued standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything God had instructed Joshua to tell the people to do was done (confirming what Moses had instructed Joshua). The people crossed; no one dawdled. ¹¹ When the crossing of all the people was complete, they watched as the Chest of the Covenant and the priests crossed over. ¹² The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had crossed over in battle formation in front of the People of Israel, obedient to Moses' instructions. ¹³ All told, about 40,000 armed soldiers crossed over before God to the plains of Jericho, ready for battle. ¹⁴ God made Joshua great that day in the sight of all Israel. They were in awe of him just as they had been in awe of Moses all his life. ¹⁵ God told Joshua, ¹⁶ "Command the priests carrying the Chest of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan." ¹⁷ Joshua commanded the priests, "Come up out of the Jordan." ¹⁸ They did it. The priests carrying God's Chest of the Covenant came up from the middle of the Jordan. As soon as the soles of the priests' feet touched dry land, the Jordan's waters resumed their flow within the banks, just as before. ¹⁹ The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month. They set up camp at The Gilgal (The Circle) to the east of Jericho.
