Contextual Overview

¹⁰ And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood in Jordan, until Joshua had finished all that the Lord commanded him to report to the people; and the people hasted and passed over. ¹¹ And it came to pass when all the people had passed over, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord passed over, and the stones before them. ¹² And the sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses commanded them. ¹³ Forty thousand armed for battle went over before the Lord to war, to the city of Jericho. ¹⁴ In that day the Lord magnified Joshua before all the people of Israel; and they feared him, as they did Moses, as long as he lived. ¹⁵ And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying, ¹⁶ Charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the testimony of the Lord, to go up out of Jordan. ¹⁷ And Joshua charged the priests, saying, Go up out of Jordan. ¹⁸ And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord were gone up out of Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, that the water of Jordan returned impetuously to its place, and went as before over all its banks. ¹⁹ And the people went up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month; and the children of Israel encamped in Galgala in the region eastward from Jericho.

saying; as follows.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The passage of the priests to the further bank had been already referred to, Joshua 4:11; but the writer, in observance of his general plan (compare introductory remarks to Joshua 3:0), re-introduces it here as the leading feature in the concluding section of his account, and (as before) with mention of God’s special direction about it. The statement that on the removal of the ark the waters of Jordan at once returned to their former level Joshua 4:18, heightens the impression which is especially inculcated throughout - that the whole transaction was extraordinary and miraculous. The details and incidents of the passage are no doubt open to manifold discussion: but all such discussion will be futile unless it proceed throughout on the admission that we have here before us the record of a distinctly supernatural interposition: compare the introduction to the Book of Joshua.
