Joshua 4:2-8

2TakeH3947 you twelveH6240H8147 menH582 out of the peopleH5971, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376,

3And commandH6680 ye them, sayingH559, TakeH5375 you hence out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, out of the place where the priests’H3548 feetH7272 stoodH4673 firmH3559, twelveH6240H8147 stonesH68, and ye shall carry them overH5674 with you, and leaveH3240 them in the lodging placeH4411, where ye shall lodgeH3885 this nightH3915.

4Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 the twelveH6240H8147 menH376, whom he had preparedH3559 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376:

5And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430 into the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and take ye upH7311 everyH259 manH376 of you a stoneH68 upon his shoulderH7926, according unto the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478:

6That this may be a signH226 amongH7130 you, that when your childrenH1121 askH7592 their fathers in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What mean ye by these stonesH68?1

7Then ye shall answerH559 them, That the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068; when it passed overH5674 JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772: and these stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769.

8And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and took upH5375 twelveH6240H8147 stonesH68 out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, as YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto JoshuaH3091, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and carried them overH5674 with them unto the place where they lodgedH4411, and laid them downH3240 there.
