As soon as the priests and the ark were come up out of Jordan,
the waters of the river, which had stood on a heap, flowed
down according to their natural and usual course, and again
soon filled the channel. This make it abundantly evident,
that the miraculous change which had been given to the river
was not from any secret natural cause, but solely by the power
of God, and for the sake of his chosen people; for when
Israel's host had passed through, and the token of his
presence was removed, immediately the waters went forward
again: so that if it be asked, "What aileth thee, O Jordan,
that thou wast driven back?" it must be answered, it was in
obedience to the God of Israel, and in kindness to the Israel
of God.
