18And when the priests who took up the ark of the Lord's agreement came up out of Jordan and their feet came out on to dry land, the waters of Jordan went back to their place, overflowing its edges as before.
19So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.
20And the twelve stones which they took out of Jordan, Joshua put up in Gilgal.
21And he said to the children of Israel, When your children say to their fathers in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?
22Then give your children the story, and say, Israel came over this river Jordan on dry land.
23For the Lord your God made the waters of Jordan dry before you till you had gone across, as he did to the Red Sea, drying it up before us till we had gone across:
24So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the hand of the Lord is strong; and that they may go in fear of the Lord your God for ever.
