Contextual Overview

10 And the priests bearing the ark were standing in the middle of the Jordan until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua. And the people hastened and crossed over. 11 And it happened, when the people had finished crossing over, the ark of Jehovah and the priests crossed over before the people. 12 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh crossed over in battle array before the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them; 13 about forty thousand armed men of the army crossed over before Jehovah for battle, to the plains of Jericho. 14 In that day Jehovah made Joshua great in the sight of all Israel. And they feared him all the days of his life, even as they feared Moses. 15 And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, 16 Order the priests who carry the ark of the testimony, that they rise out of the Jordan. 17 And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Rise out of the Jordan. 18 And it happened when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests had been lifted to the dry land, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place,and flowed over all its banks, as before. 19 And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and camped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when the people were clean passed over,.... Every one of them, as in Joshua 3:17;

that the ark of the Lord passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people; that is, the priests bearing the ark came out of the midst of Jordan in the sight of all the people, who were on the banks of it, on the other side, where they had been stationed during the passage of the people; though this motion of them was not until they received an order for it, of which there is an after mention. The Septuagint version reads, "and the stones before them"; see Joshua 4:8.
