Joshua 4:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ Then Joshua called the twelve men of the Israelites whom he had appointed, a man from each tribe.

⁵ And Joshua said to them, Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God in the midst of the Jordan, and take up every man of you a stone on his shoulder, as is the number of the tribes of the Israelites,

⁶ That this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, What do these stones mean to you?
