9. And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.
10. For the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that the Lord commanded Joshua to tell the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. The people passed over in haste.
11. When all the people had passed over, the ark of the Lord and the priests went over in the presence of the people.
12. And the sons of Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh passed over armed before the [other] Israelites, as Moses had bidden them;
13. About 40,000 [of these] prepared for war passed over before the Lord to the plains of Jericho for battle.
14. On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.
15. And the Lord said to Joshua,
16. Order the priests bearing the ark of the Testimony to come up out of the Jordan.
