06:004:003 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 stones, and ye shall carry them over with you,
           and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this
           night.

06:004:004 Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the
           children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: 

06:004:005 And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the
           lord your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every
           man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the
           number of the tribes of the children of Israel: 

06:004:006 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?

06:004:007 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.

06:004:008 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and
           took up twelve 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, and carried them over with them unto
           the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

06:004:009 And Joshua set up twelve 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.

06:004:010 For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of
           Jordan, until everything was finished that the lord commanded
           Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses
           commanded Joshua:  and the people hasted and passed over.

06:004:011 And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
           over, that the ark of the lord passed over, and the priests,
           in the presence of the people.

06:004:012 And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half
           the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children
           of Israel, as Moses spake unto them: 

06:004:013 About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the
           lord unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.

06:004:014 On that day the lord magnified Joshua in the sight of all
           Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the
           days of his life.
