When all the nation had completely crossed over the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying, Deu 27:2Jos 3:17 “Take twelve men out of the people, a man out of every tribe, Jos 3:121Ki 18:31Deu 1:23Mat 10:1-5Num 1:4-15Num 13:2Num 34:18 and command them, saying, ‘Take from out of the middle of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones, carry them over with you, and lay them down in the place where you’ll camp tonight.’” Jos 4:19-20Jos 3:13Jos 4:81Sa 7:12Deu 27:1-26Gen 28:22Jos 24:27Luk 19:40
Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe. Jos 4:2Mrk 3:14-19 Joshua said to them, “Cross before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you pick up a stone and put it on your shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’ Exo 13:14Jos 4:21Psa 44:1Deu 6:20-21Deu 11:19Jos 22:27Exo 12:26-27Isa 38:19 then you shall tell them, ‘Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the LORD’s covenant. When it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. These stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.’” Exo 12:14Exo 28:12Num 16:40Psa 111:4Jos 3:13-161Co 11:24Isa 66:3Jos 4:6
The children of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel. They carried them over with them to the place where they camped, and laid them down there. Jos 1:16-18Jos 4:2-5Jos 4:20 Joshua set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day. 1Sa 7:121Sa 30:252Ch 5:92Sa 4:3Deu 34:6Exo 24:12Exo 28:21Gen 26:33 For the priests who bore the ark stood in the middle of the Jordan until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and passed over.

Jos 3:151Ch 12:15Exo 14:26-28Isa 8:8Jos 3:13 The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
