1 After Israel had crossed the Jordan, the Lordsaid to Joshua:
2,3 Tell4.1-3 Joshua … Tell: Or "Joshua, you and the other leaders must tell."one man from each of the twelve tribes to pick up a large rock from where the priests are standing. Then tell the men to set up those rocks as a monument at the place where you camp tonight.
4 Joshuachose twelve men; then he called them together 5 and said:
Go to the middle of the riverbed where the sacred chest is, and pick up a large rock. Carry it on your shoulder to our camp. There are twelve of you, so there will be one rock for each tribe. 6,7 Someday your children will ask, "Why are these rocks here?" Then you can tell them how the water stopped flowing when the chest was being carried across the river. These rocks will always remind our people of what happened here today.
8 The men followed the instructions that the Lordhad given Joshua. They picked up twelve rocks, one for each tribe, and carried them to the camp, where they put them down.
9 Joshuaset up a monument next to the place where the priests were standing. This monument was also made of twelve large rocks, and it is still there in the middle of the river.

10-13 The army got ready for battle and crossed the Jordanwith everyone else. They marched quickly past the sacred chest4.10-13 the sacred chest: The Hebrew text has "the Lord." The army was marching past the sacred chest, which was a symbol of God’s throne on earth (see 1 Samuel 4.4 and Exodus 25.10-22; 37.1-9).and into the desert near Jericho. Forty thousand soldiers from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh4.10-13 Forty thousand soldiers from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh: Or "There were forty thousand soldiers altogether, and those from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh."led the way, as Moseshad ordered.4.10-13 Moses … ordered: See Numbers 32.16-32; Joshua 1.12-16.
The priests stayed right where they were until the people had followed the orders that the Lordhad given Mosesand Joshua. Then they watched as the priests carried the chest the rest of the way across.
14-18 "Joshua," the Lordsaid, "tell the priests to come up from the Jordanand bring the chest with them." So Joshuawent over to the priests and told them what the Lordhad said. And as soon as the priests carried the chest past the highest place that the floodwaters of the Jordanhad reached, the river flooded its banks again.
That’s how the Lordshowed the Israelites that Joshuawas their leader.4.14-18 leader: See 3.7.For the rest of Joshua’s life, they respected him as they had respected Moses.
19 It was the tenth day of the first month4.19 first month: Abib (also called Nisan), the first month of the Hebrew calendar, from about mid-March to mid-April.of the year when Israel crossed the Jordan River. They set up camp at Gilgal, which was east of the land controlled by Jericho. 20 The men who had carried the twelve rocks from the Jordanbrought them to Joshua, and they made them into a monument. 21 Then Joshua told the people:
Years from now your children will ask you why these rocks are here. 22,23 Tell them, "The Lordour God dried up the Jordan Riverso we could walk across. He did the same thing here for us that he did for our people at the Red Sea,4.22,23 Red Sea: See the note at 2.10.24 because he wants everyone on earth to know how powerful he is. And he wants us to worship only him."
