Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Now the priests carrying the ark of the covenant were standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything the Lord had commanded Joshua to tell the people was accomplished, in accordance with all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people went across quickly, ¹¹ and when all the people had finished crossing, the ark of the Lord and the priests crossed as the people looked on. ¹² The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed for battle ahead of the Israelites, just as Moses had instructed them. ¹³ About forty thousand battle-ready troops marched past the Lord to fight on the plains of Jericho. ¹⁴ That day the Lord brought honor to Joshua before all Israel. They respected him all his life, just as they had respected Moses. ¹⁵ The Lord told Joshua, ¹⁶ "Instruct the priests carrying the ark of the covenantal laws to come up from the Jordan." ¹⁷ So Joshua instructed the priests, "Come up from the Jordan!" ¹⁸ The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord came up from the middle of the Jordan, and as soon as they set foot on dry land, the water of the Jordan flowed again and returned to flood stage. ¹⁹ The people went up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped in Gilgal on the eastern border of 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.
