Jos 4:2

Jos 4:2Take twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,

Jos 4:3

Jos 4:5

Jos 4:5and Yehoshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Yarden, and take up every man of you a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Yisra'el;

Jos 4:6

Jos 4:6that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in time to come, saying, What do you mean by these stones?

Jos 4:7

Jos 4:7then you shall tell them, Because the waters of the Yarden were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over the Yarden, the waters of the Yarden were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Yisra'el forever.

Jos 4:8

Jos 4:8The children of Yisra'el did so as Yehoshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Yarden, as the LORD spoke to Yehoshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Yisra'el; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

Jos 4:10

Jos 4:10For the Kohanim who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Yarden, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Yehoshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moshe commanded Yehoshua: and the people hurried and passed over.

Jos 4:22Then you shall let your children know, saying, Yisra'el came over this Yarden on dry land.

Jos 4:23

Jos 4:23For the LORD your God dried up the waters of the Yarden from before you, until you were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Sea of Suf, which he dried up from before us, until we were passed over;

Jos 4:24

Jos 4:24that all the peoples of the eretz may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty; that you may fear the LORD your God forever.
