Joshua 4:12-16

The sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over in battle formation before the sons of Israel, just as Moses had spoken to them;

about forty thousand equipped for war, crossed for battle before the Lord to the desert plains of Jericho.

On that day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, so that they revered him, just as they had revered Moses all the days of his life.

Now the Lord said to Joshua,

“Command the priests who carry the ark of the testimony that they come up from the Jordan.”
