*
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 @

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 .
*
And Joshua set up twelve sh @
nayim #
stones in the midst of Jordan ,
in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood :
and they are there unto this day .
