Context of Joshua 4:22
20And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal. 21And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones? Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land. 23For Yhwh your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Yhwh your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over: 24That all the people of the earth might know the hand of Yhwh, that it is mighty: that ye might fear Yhwh your God for ever.
