2“1TakeH3947 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 menH376 from the peopleH5971, oneH259 manH376 from eachH376H259 tribeH7626, 3and commandH6680 them, sayingH559, ‘TakeH5375 upH5375 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 from hereH2088 out of the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, from the placeH4673 whereH4673 the priests’H3548 feetH7272 are standingH4673 firmlyH3559, and carryH5674 them overH5674 with you and layH5117 them downH5117 in 2the encampmentH4411 whereH4673 you will spendH3885 the nightH3915.’” 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, “3CrossH5674 againH6440 to the arkH727 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 into the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, and eachH376 of you takeH7311 upH7311 a stoneH68 on his shoulderH7926, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 64ThisH2088 shall be a signH226 amongH7130 you; 5when your childrenH1121 askH7592 6laterH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 do theseH428 stonesH68 mean to you?’ 7then you shall sayH559 to them, ‘That the 7watersH4325 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 8memorialH2146 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 foreverH5704H5769.”

8So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 exactlyH3651 as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and tookH5375 upH5375 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 from the middleH8432 of the JordanH3383, justH3512 asH3512 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 9the encampmentH4411 and putH5117 them downH5117 thereH8033.
