Joshua 4:2-9

2“ChooseH3947 twelveH8147H6240H582 menH376 from amongH4480 the peopleH5971, oneH259H376 from each tribeH7626, 3and command themH6680: ‘Take upH5375 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 fromH2088 the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383H4673H7272 where the priestsH3548 were standingH3559, carryH5674 themH853 with youH5973, and set them downH5117 in the placeH4411 whereH834 you spendH3885 the nightH3915.’”

4So JoshuaH3091H413 summonedH7121 the twelveH8147H6240 menH376 he had appointedH3559 from the IsraelitesH1121H3478, oneH259H376 from each tribeH7626, 5and saidH559 to themH3091, “Cross overH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 intoH413 the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383. EachH376 of you is to takeH7311 aH259 stoneH68 uponH5921 his shoulderH7926, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH1121H3478, 6toH4616 serve asH1961 a signH226 among youH7130. In the futureH4279H559, whenH3588 your childrenH1121 askH7592, ‘WhatH4100 do theseH428 stonesH68 mean to you?’ 7you are to tellH559 them, ‘The watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 were cut offH3772 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068. When it crossedH5674 the JordanH3383, the watersH4325 were cut offH3772.’ Therefore theseH428 stonesH68 will beH1961 a memorialH2146 to the IsraelitesH1121H3478 foreverH5704H5769.”

8Thus the IsraelitesH1121H3478 didH6213H3651 asH834 JoshuaH3091 had commanded themH6680. They took upH5375 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 from the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, one for eachH4557 tribeH7626 of IsraelH1121H3478, just asH834 the LORDH3068 had toldH1696 JoshuaH3091; and they carriedH5674 themH5973 toH413 the campH4411, where they set them downH5117H8033.

9Joshua alsoH3091 set upH6965 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 in the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383,1 in the placeH8478 where the priestsH3548 who carriedH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 stoodH4673H7272. And the stones areH1961 thereH8033 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
