Joshua 4:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had selected from the people of Israel—a man from each tribe. ⁵ Joshua said to them, “Go to the middle of the Jordan in front of the Ark of the Lord your God. There each man is to lift up one stone on his shoulder. The number will correspond to the number of the tribes descended from the sons of Israel, ⁶ so that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in the future, ‘What do these stones mean for you?’
