13. About 40,000 [of these] prepared for war passed over before the Lord to the plains of Jericho for battle.
14. On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.
15. And the Lord said to Joshua,
16. Order the priests bearing the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.
17. So Joshua commanded the priests, Come up out of the Jordan.
18. And when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of their feet were lifted up to the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and flowed over all its banks as they had before.
19. And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and encamped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.
