Joshua 4:14-24

« Joshua 3Joshua 4Joshua 5 »

14 ^aOn that day, Yahweh magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel, so that they ¹feared him, just as they had ¹feared Moses all the days of his life.
15 Then Yahweh said to ¹Joshua, 16 “Command the priests who carry ^athe ark of the testimony that they come up from the Jordan.” 17 So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, “Come up from the Jordan.” 18 So it happened when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of Yahweh had come up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were ¹lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and went over all its banks as before.
19 Now the people came up from the Jordan on the ^atenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho. 20 ¹^aAnd those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set up ^bat Gilgal. 21 Then he said to the sons of ¹Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean?’ 22 then you shall make your children know, saying, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on ^adry land.’ 23 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed, just as Yahweh your God had done to the ¹Red Sea, ^awhich He dried up before us until we had crossed, 24 that ^aall the peoples of the earth may know that the ^bhand of Yahweh is strong, so that you may ¹^cfear Yahweh your God ²forever.”
