Joshua 4:4-13

4So JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the twelveH8147H6240 menH376 whomH834 he had appointedH3559 from the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, oneH259 manH376 from eachH376H259 tribeH7626; 5and JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to them, “1CrossH5674 againH6440 to the arkH727 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 into the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, and eachH376 of you takeH7311 up a stoneH68 on his shoulderH7926, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 62Let thisH2088 be a signH226 amongH7130 you, so that 3when your childrenH1121 askH7592 4laterH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 do theseH428 stonesH68 mean to you?’ 7then you shall sayH559 to them, ‘BecauseH834 the 5watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 were cutH3772 offH3772 beforeH4480H6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068; when it crossedH5674 the JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 were cutH3772 offH3772.’ So theseH428 stonesH68 shall becomeH1961 a 6memorialH2146 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 foreverH5704H5769.”

8ThusH3651 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and tookH5375 up twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 from the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, justH3512 as the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to JoshuaH3091, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; and they carriedH5674 them overH5674 with them to 7the lodgingH4411 placeH4411 and putH5117 them downH5117 thereH8033. 9Then JoshuaH3091 setH6965 up twelveH8147H6240 8stonesH68 in the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383 at the placeH4673H8478 whereH4673 the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 who carriedH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 were standingH4673, and they are thereH8033 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 10For the priestsH3548 who carriedH5375 the arkH727 were standingH5975 in the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383 untilH5704 everythingH3605 was completedH8552 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 to speakH1696 to the peopleH5971, according to allH3605 that MosesH4872 had commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091. And the peopleH5971 hurriedH4116 and crossedH5674; 11and whenH3512 allH3605 the peopleH5971 had finishedH8552 crossingH5674, the arkH727 of the LordH3068 and the priestsH3548 crossedH5674 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971. 129The sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205 and the sonsH1121 of GadH1410 and the half-tribeH2677H7626 of ManassehH4519 crossedH5674 overH5674 in battleH2571 arrayH2571 beforeH6440 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, justH3512 as MosesH4872 had spokenH1696 to them; 13about 40,000H705H505 equippedH2502 for warH6635, crossedH5674 for battleH4421 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 to the desertH6160 plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405.
