Joshua 4:1-5

1When the whole Israelite nation had crossed the Jordan River, the Lord spoke to Joshua.

2He said, ‘Choose 12 men from the people, one from each tribe.

3Tell them, “Pick up 12 stones from the middle of the river. Take them from the place where the priests are standing. Carry the stones with you to the shore. Put them in the place where you stay tonight.” ’

4So Joshua called the 12 men that he had chosen, one from each Israelite tribe.

5He said to them, ‘Go into the middle of the river, beyond the Lord's Covenant Box. Each of you must pick up a stone and put it on his shoulder. There will be one stone for each of the Israelite tribes.
