2Choose twelve men, one of every tribe:
Joshua 3:12, Joshua 3:12, Numbers 34:18, Numbers 13:2, 1 Kings 18:31
3And command them to take out of the midst of the Jordan, where the feet of the priests stood, twelve very hard stones, which you shall set in the place of the camp, where you shall pitch your tents this night.

5And he said to them: Go before the ark of the Lord your God to the midst of the Jordan, and carry from thence every man a stone on your shoulders, according to the number of the children of Israel,
6That it may be a sign among you: and when your children shall ask you tomorrow, saying: What means these stones?

10Now the priests that carried the ark, stood in the midst of the Jordan, till all things were accomplished, which the Lord had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, and Moses had said to him. And the people made haste, and passed over.
Joshua 3:13, Joshua 3:13, Ecclesiastes 9:10, Isaiah 28:16, 2 Corinthians 6:2
11And when they had all passed over, the ark also of the Lord passed over, and the priests went before the people.

17And he commanded them, saying: Come ye up out of the Jordan.

Joshua 3:15, Joshua 3:15, Exodus 14:26, Exodus 14:28, 1 Chronicles 12:15
19And the people came up out of the Jordan, the tenth day of the first month, and camped in Galgal, over against the east side of the city of Jericho.
Joshua 5:9, Joshua 5:9, Micah 6:5, Micah 6:5, 1 Samuel 15:33
20And the twelve stones, which they had taken out of the channel of the Jordan, Joshua pitched in Galgal,
Joshua 4:3, Joshua 4:8, Joshua 4:3, Joshua 4:8
21And said to the children of Israel: When your children shall ask their fathers tomorrow, and shall say to them: What mean these stones?
Joshua 4:6, Joshua 4:6, Psalms 145:4, Psalms 145:7, Psalms 145:4
22You shall teach them, and say: Israel passed over this Jordan through the dry channel,
Joshua 3:17, Joshua 3:17, Isaiah 51:10, Isaiah 51:10, Exodus 15:19
23The Lord your God drying up the waters thereof in your sight, until you passed over:
Exodus 14:21, Exodus 14:21, Isaiah 63:12, Isaiah 63:14, Isaiah 43:16
24As he had done before in the Red Sea, which he dried up till we passed through:
Psalms 106:8, Psalms 106:8, Psalms 89:13, 1 Kings 8:42, 1 Kings 8:43
25That all the people of the earth may learn the most mighty hand of the Lord, that you also may fear the Lord your God for ever.
