Bible verse
About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 4:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Joshua 4.
9 Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood. And the stones are there to this day.
10 Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan until the people had completed everything the LORD had commanded Joshua to tell them, just as Moses had directed Joshua. The people hurried across,
11 and after everyone had finished crossing, the priests with the ark of the LORD crossed in the sight of the people.
12 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over before the Israelites, armed for battle as Moses had instructed them.
13 About 40,000 troops armed for battle crossed over before the LORD into the plains of Jericho.
14 On that day the LORD exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel, and they revered him all the days of his life, just as they had revered Moses.
15 Then the LORD said to Joshua,
16 “Command the priests who carry the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
17 So Joshua commanded the priests, “Come up from the Jordan.”
