Bright and early the next morning Joshua and the Israelites left Shittim and came to the Jordan. They camped there before crossing the river.

The people went up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month and camped in Gilgal on the eastern border of Jericho.

So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho.

All the troops that were with him marched up and drew near the city. They camped north of Ai on the other side of the valley.
