Joshua 4:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² The men of the tribes of Reuben and Gad and of half the tribe of Manasseh, ready for battle, crossed ahead of the rest of the people, as Moses had told them to do. ¹³ In the presence of the Lord about forty thousand men ready for war crossed over to the plain near Jericho. ¹⁴ What the Lord did that day made the people of Israel consider Joshua a great man. They honored him all his life, just as they had honored Moses.
