Joshua 4:13-17

¹³As Yahweh was watching, there were about forty thousand of those soldiers, carrying weapons ready for battle, who crossed the riverbed to the plains near Jericho, ready to fight.

¹⁴On that day, all the people of Israel saw that Yahweh had caused Joshua to be a great leader. And they honored Joshua for the rest of his life, just as they had honored Moses.

¹⁵Yahweh said to Joshua,

¹⁶“ Now tell the priests who are carrying the chest containing the Ten Commandments to come up from the Jordan riverbed.”

¹⁷So Joshua commanded the priests to do that.
