2TakeH3947 for yourselves twelveH8147H6240 menH582 from the peopleH5971, from everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376, 3And commandH6680 ye them, sayingH559, TakeH5375 for yourselves from here out of the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, from the place where the priestsH3548’ feetH7272 stoodH4673 firmH3559, twelveH8147H6240 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 twelveH8147H6240 menH376, whom he had preparedH3559 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, of everyH259 tribeH7626 a manH376: 5And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to them, Pass overH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 into the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, and take ye upH7311 everyH259 manH376 of you a stoneH68 upon his shoulderH7926, according to 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 the LORDH3068; when it passed overH5674 JordanH3383, the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 were cut offH3772: and these stonesH68 shall be for a memorialH2146 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 forH5704 everH5769. 8And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so as JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and took upH5375 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 from the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, as the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 JoshuaH3091, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and carried them overH5674 with them to the place where they lodgedH4411, and laid them downH3240 there. 9And JoshuaH3091 set upH6965 twelveH8147H6240 stonesH68 in the midstH8432 of JordanH3383, in the place where the feetH7272 of the priestsH3548 who boreH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 stoodH4673: and they are there to this dayH3117.
