Joshua 4:10
Joshua 4:10 – The People Complete the Crossing This section carefully describes how Joshua and the Israelites followed God’s instructions exactly as they finished crossing the Jordan River. The writer emphasizes how Joshua did nothing except what God commanded, remembering both the guidance of Moses and the direct instructions from the Lord. The crossing was a new experience, but Joshua’s careful obedience was an example for everyone. This passage also highlights several important details about the order of the crossing, the timing, and how God used these events to honor Joshua and keep His promises to Israel.v. 10: The people hurried across the Jordan River as God commanded Joshua ( a). Some may have moved quickly because they were afraid the water would return, while others were simply eager to enter the promised land. The priests stayed in the river with the ark until everyone had safely crossed. Joshua obeyed God’s directions completely, just as Moses had taught him.
