11 And when all the people were finished passing, the ark of the Lord passed, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh passed armed before the sons of Israel, as Moses had said unto them.
13 About forty thousand men prepared for war passed over before the Lord unto battle, towards the plains of Jericho.
14 On that day the Lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 And the Lord spoke unto Joshua, saying,
16 Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
17 Joshua, therefore, commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Jordan.
