Joshua 4:21-23
New English Translation
21 He told the Israelites, “When your children someday ask their fathers, ‘What do these stones represent?’[a] 22 explain to[b] your children, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan River[c] on dry ground.’ 23 For the Lord your God dried up the water of the Jordan before you while you crossed over. It was just like when the Lord your God dried up the Red Sea before us while we crossed it.[d]
