Twelve men from among the Israelites each took a stone from the middle of the Jordan River. With these stones Joshua built a monument to remind the Israelite people, and their descendants, about how God helped them cross the river.
Here are some other possible section headings:
Setting up memorial stones
Twelve memorial stones
A reminder that God brought them to the promised land
This paragraph is a summary about the crossing of the Jordan River. The priests obeyed God’s command. They stood in the middle of the river while the rest of the Israelites crossed it. Finally, the priests with the ark of the covenant finished crossing the river.
Now the priests who carried the ark remained standing in the middle of the Jordan
¶ The priests who carried the ark continued standing in the middle of the Jordan River
¶ The priests who carried the covenant box remained standing in the river on dry ground
Now: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as Now is the Hebrew connector between sentences in a narrative. It may be more natural in some languages to leave it out. For example:
The priests who bore the ark remained standing (NRSV)
remained standing in the middle of the Jordan: The phrase remained standing in the middle of the Jordan indicates that the priests who were carrying the ark continued to stand in the middle of the Jordan River. The river stopped flowing, and they stood on the dry riverbed. It may be helpful to make this explicit in some languages. For example, you could say:
The priests who carried the ark stood on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan River
