completed
to
pass
over the

speaketh
unto Joshua, saying,
And it came
to pass, when all the people
were
clean
passed
over Jordan, that the
LORD
spake
unto Joshua, saying,
`
Take for
you out of the people twelve
men
, one
man
--
one
man
out of a
tribe ;
Take you twelve
men
out of the people, out of every
tribe a
man,
and command ye them, saying, Take up
for
you from
this
`place',
from
the midst of the
Jordan, from
the
established
standing-place
of the feet
of
the priests, twelve stones, and ye have
removed
them over with you, and placed
them in the lodging -
place in
which
ye lodge to-
night. '
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence
out
of
the midst of Jordan, out
of the place

man
--

man
out of a
tribe ;
Then
Joshua called
the twelve men ,
whom he had
prepared of the children
of Israel, out of every
tribe a
man:
and Joshua saith
to
them, `
Pass over before the ark of Jehovah
your God unto
the midst of the
Jordan and lift
up for
you each,
one
stone on
his shoulder, according to
the number of the tribes of the sons
of Israel ,

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 :
so
that this is
a sign in
your
midst
, when your children ask hereafter
, saying, What `are'
these stones to
you
?
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?
that
ye have
said
to
them, Because
the waters of the
Jordan were cut off ,
at
the
presence
of
the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
; in
its
passing
over into
the
Jordan were
the waters of the
Jordan cut off ;
and these stones have
been
for a memorial to
the sons
of Israel --
to
the
age
. '

ye shall
answer
them, That

and these stones shall
be
for a memorial unto
the children
of Israel for
ever
.

unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children

they
lodged
, and laid
them down
there .
even
the
twelve
stones
hath
Joshua raised
up out
of
the midst of the
Jordan, the place of
the
standing
of
the feet of the priests bearing
the ark of the covenant ,
and they are there unto this day.
And
Joshua set
up twelve
stones
in
the midst of Jordan, in
the place where

ones
of
the
host,
passed over before Jehovah
for
battle, unto
the plains of Jericho.

your sons
to
know, saying, On
dry
land
Israel passed
over this Jordan ;

your God dried up the waters of the

our
presence
till
our
passing
over ;
For
the
LORD
your God dried up the waters of Jordan from
before
you
, until
ye
were
passed
over, as the
LORD
your God did to the Red sea ,
which he dried up from
before
us,
until
we
were
gone
over :
so
that all the people of the land
do
know the hand of Jehovah
that it `
is '
strong,
so
that ye have
reverenced
Jehovah
your God all
the
days
. '
That all the people of the earth
might
know the hand of the
LORD,
that it is mighty:

your God for
ever
