Joshua also set up 12 stones in the middle[a] of the Jordan where the priests[b] who carried the ark of the covenant were standing. The stones are there to this day.(A)

10 The priests carrying the ark continued standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was completed that the Lord had commanded Joshua to tell the people, in keeping with all that Moses had commanded 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.
