Joshua 4:18

18 And when they had gone up, bearing the ark of [the] bond of peace of the Lord, and had begun to tread on the dry earth, the waters turned again into their trough, and flowed again, as they were wont (to) before. (And when they had come up, carrying the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, and had begun to tread on the dry earth, the waters returned to their place, and flowed again, as they were wont to before.)

Joshua 4:18 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 4:18

And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of
the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan
According to the command of Joshua in the name of the Lord:

[and] the soles of the priests' feet were lift up upon the dry land;
and set upon it, on the bank of Jordan, and shores of the land of Canaan:

that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place;
those that came from above, and had stood on an heap, gradually came down into the channel, and those below that were cut off returned:

and flowed over all his banks, as [they did] before;
and usually did at this time of the year, see ( Joshua 3:15 ) ; so that there was no decrease or loss of the waters by their failing, and being cut off.
