And they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged and laid them down[a] there. And Joshua set up[b] twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, (A)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 bearing 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.
