Joshua 4:4-7

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.
