13About forty thousand armed for war went over before the Lord to the fight, to the lowlands of Jericho.
14That day the Lord made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel; and all the days of his life they went in fear of him, as they had gone in fear of Moses.
15Then the Lord said to Joshua,
16Give orders to the priests who take up the ark of witness, to come up out of Jordan.
17So Joshua gave orders to the priests, saying, Come up now out of Jordan.
