* And command ye them , saying , Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan , out of the place where the priests feet stood firm , twelve sh @nayim # stones , and ye shall carry them over with you , and leave them in the lodging place , where ye shall lodge this night . * Then Joshua called the twelve sh @nayim # men , whom he had prepared of the children of Israel Yisra #el #, out of every tribe a man : * And Joshua said unto them , Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan , and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder , according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel Yisra #el #: * That this may be a sign among you , that when your children ask their fathers in time to come , saying , What mean ye by these stones ? * Then ye shall answer them , That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD ; when it passed over Jordan , the waters of Jordan were cut off : and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever . * And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded , and took up twelve sh @nayim # stones out of the midst of Jordan , as the LORD spake unto Joshua , according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel Yisra #el #, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged , and laid them down there .
