Joshua 4:1-5

1When all the people had crossed the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,

2“Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe.

3Tell them, ‘Take twelve stones from the very place where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan. Carry them out and pile them up at the place where you will camp tonight.’”

4So Joshua called together the twelve men he had chosen—one from each of the tribes of Israel.

5He told them, “Go into the middle of the Jordan, in front of the Ark of the Lord your God. Each of you must pick up one stone and carry it out on your shoulder—twelve stones in all, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
