The Memorial Stones

1 And it came to pass, when all the people had completely crossed aover the Jordan, that the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying:  
2 a“Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from every tribe,  
3 and command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves twelve stones from here, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where athe priests’ feet stood firm. You shall carry them over with you and leave them in bthe lodging place where you lodge tonight.’ ”  
4 Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from every tribe;
5 and Joshua said to them: “Cross over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,
6 that this may be aa sign among you bwhen your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’  
7 Then you shall answer them that athe waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for ba memorial to the children of Israel forever.”
