1 tn Heb “and the soles of the feet of the priests were brought up to the dry land.”
2 tn Heb “and the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and went as formerly over their banks.”
sn Verses 15-18 give a more detailed account of the priests’ crossing that had been briefly described in v. 11.
