Yosua 4:11-24

4:11 and when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of the Lord and the priests crossed as the people looked on. ¹  4:12 The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed for battle ahead of the Israelites, just as Moses had instructed them. 4:13 About forty thousand battle-ready troops ²  marched past the Lord to fight ³  on the plains of Jericho. ⁴  4:14 That day the Lord brought honor to Joshua before all Israel. They respected ⁵  him all his life, ⁶  just as they had respected ⁷  Moses.

4:15 The Lord told Joshua, 4:16 “Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenantal laws ⁸  to come up from the Jordan.” 4:17 So Joshua instructed the priests, “Come up from the Jordan!” 4:18 The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the middle of the Jordan, and as soon as they set foot on dry land, ⁹  the water of the Jordan flowed again and returned to flood stage. ¹⁰ 

4:19 The people went up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month ¹¹  and camped in Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho. ¹²  4:20 Now Joshua set up in Gilgal the ¹³  twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan. 4:21 He told the Israelites, “When your children someday ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones represent?’ ¹⁴  4:22 explain ¹⁵  to your children, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan River ¹⁶  on dry ground.’ 4:23 For the Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you while you crossed over. It was just like when the Lord your God dried up the Red Sea before us while we crossed it. ¹⁷  4:24 He has done this so ¹⁸  all the nations ¹⁹  of the earth might recognize the Lord’s power ²⁰  and so you might always obey ²¹  the Lord your God.”
