10 Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan, till all things were accomplished, which the Lord had commanded Josue to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste, and passed over. 11 And when they had all passed over, the ark also of the Lord passed over, and the priests went before the people. 12 The children of Ruben also, and Gad, and half the tribe of Manasses, went armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had commanded them. 13 And forty thousand fighting men by their troops and bands, marched through the plains and fields of the city of Jericho. 14 In that day the Lord magnified Josue in the sight of all Israel, that they should fear him, as they had feared Moses, while he lived. 15 And he said to him: 16 Command the priests, that carry the ark of the covenant, to come up out of the Jordan. 17 And he commanded them, saying: Come ye up out of the Jordan. 18 And when they that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, were come up, and began to tread on the dry ground, the waters returned into their channel, and ran as they were wont before. 19 And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho.
