Joshua 4:20-24

20Now Joshua set up in Gilgal the twelve stones they had taken from the Jordan.

21He told the Israelites, “When your children someday ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones represent?’

22explain to your children, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan River on dry ground.’

23For the Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you while you crossed over. It was just like when the Lord your God dried up the Red Sea before us while we crossed it.

24He has done this so all the nations of the earth might recognize the Lord’s power and so you might always obey the Lord your God.”
