Joshua 4:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ That it may be a sign among you and when your children shall ask you to morrow, saying: What mean these stones?

⁷ You shall answer them: The waters of the Jordan ran off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, when it passed over the same: therefore were these atones set for a monument of the children of Israel for ever.

⁸ The children of Israel therefore did as Josue commanded them, carrying out of the channel of the Jordan twelve stones, as the Lord had commanded him, according to the number of the children of Israel, unto the place wherein they camped, and there they set them.
