Joshua 4:15-19
Contemporary English Version
Joshua 4:15-19
Contemporary English Version
14-18 “Joshua,” the Lord said, “tell the priests to come up from the Jordan and bring the chest with them.” So Joshua went over to the priests and told them what the Lord had said. And as soon as the priests carried the chest past the highest place that the floodwaters of the Jordan had reached, the river flooded its banks again.
That's how the Lord showed the Israelites that Joshua was their leader.[a] For the rest of Joshua's life, they respected him as they had respected Moses.
19 It was the tenth day of the first month[b] of the year when Israel crossed the Jordan River. They set up camp at Gilgal, which was east of the land controlled by Jericho.

Joshua 4:15-19
New International Version
15 Then the Lord said to Joshua, 16 “Command the priests carrying the ark of the covenant law(A) to come up out of the Jordan.”
17 So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up out of the Jordan.”
18 And the priests came up out of the river carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord. No sooner had they set their feet on the dry ground than the waters of the Jordan returned to their place(B) and ran at flood stage(C) as before.
19 On the tenth day of the first month the people went up from the Jordan and camped at Gilgal(D) on the eastern border of Jericho.
