Joshua 4:18
And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
Cross-reference
In Joshua 4:11, the ark crosses before the people; 4:18 specifies the moment priests step out and waters return — the climax of the miracle.
Joshua 3:13 promises the Jordan will stop when the priests step in — Joshua 4:18 shows the reverse, the waters returning when they step out, completing the miracle.
Joshua 3:15 notes the Jordan was overflowing at harvest time — this context explains why the return of the waters in 4:18 was so striking.
Exodus 14:26-28 recounts the Red Sea returning to drown the Egyptians — a parallel miracle where waters close after God's people cross on dry ground.
Exodus 14:27 specifically shows the Red Sea returning and covering the Egyptians — a direct counterpart to the Jordan waters returning after the priests exited.
1 Chronicles 12:15 describes David’s mighty men crossing the Jordan when it overflowed — echoing the same flooded condition as in Joshua 4:18.
Habakkuk 3:10 poetically describes waters responding to God's presence, likely echoing the Jordan's waters retreating at the ark — a thematic parallel of divine power over waters.
