Joshua 4:16-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

16. "Command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant to ascend from the Jordan."

17. And he commanded them, saying, "Ascend from the Jordan."

18. And when those who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord had ascended, and they began to step on dry soil, the waters returned to their channel, and they flowed as they usually did before.

19. Now the people ascended from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped at Gilgal, opposite the eastern portion of the city of Jericho.

20. Likewise, the twelve stones that they had taken up from the channel of the Jordan, Joshua stationed at Gilgal.
