Joshua 4:11-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. And it came to be, when all the people had completely passed over, that the ark of יהוה and the priests passed over in the presence of the people.

12. And the sons of Re’uḇĕn, and the sons of Gaḏ, and half the tribe of Menashsheh passed over in fives before the children of Yisra’ĕl, as Mosheh had spoken to them.

13. About forty thousand armed ones of the army passed over before יהוה for battle, to the desert plains of Yeriḥo.

14. On that day יהוה made Yehoshua great before the eyes of all Yisra’ĕl. And they feared him, as they had feared Mosheh, all the days of his life.

15. And יהוה spoke to Yehoshua, saying,

16. “Command the priests who bear the ark of the Witness, and let them come up from the Yardĕn.”

17. And Yehoshua commanded the priests, saying, “Come up from the Yardĕn.”

18. And it came to be, when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה had come from the midst of the Yardĕn, and the soles of the priests’ feet touched the dry land, that the waters of the Yardĕn returned to their place and flowed over all its banks as before.

19. And the people came up from the Yardĕn on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Yeriḥo.

20. And those twelve stones which they took out of the Yardĕn, Yehoshua set up in Gilgal.
