Yehoshua 4:17 In-Context

15 And Hashem spoke unto Yehoshua, saying,

16 Command the Kohanim bearing the Aron HaEdut, so that they come up out of the Yarden.

17 Yehoshua therefore commanded the Kohanim, saying, Come ye up out of the Yarden.

18 And it came to pass, when the Kohanim bearing the Aron Brit Hashem were come up out of the middle of the Yarden, and the soles of the feet of the Kohanim were set on dry land, that the waters of the Yarden returned unto their place, and overflowed all its banks, as they did before.

19 And HaAm came up out of the Yarden on the tenth day of the chodesh harishon, and camped at Gilgal, by the eastern border of Yericho.
