Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan,.... As related, Joshua 3:17;
that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying: as follows.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER IV
When the people are passed over, Joshua commands twelve men, one
taken out of each tribe, to take up a stone on his shoulder out
of the midst of the river, and carry it to the other side, to
be set up as a memorial of this miraculous passage, 1-7.
They do so, and set up the stones in the place where they encamp
the first night, 8, 9.
The priests stand in the river, till all the people are passed
over, 10, 11.
Of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
40,000 fighting men pass over with the other tribes, 12, 13.
Joshua is magnified in the sight of the people, and they fear
him as they did Moses, 14.
The priests are commanded to come up out of the river, which, on
their leaving it, immediately returns, and overflows its banks
as before, 15-18.
This miraculous passage takes place the tenth day of the first
month, 19.
The stones are set up in Gilgal, and Joshua teaches the people
what use they are to make of them, 20-24.
