AND it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over the Yardan, that Yahuah spoke unto El-Yahusha, saying,
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of the Yardan, 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.
Then Yahusha called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Yashar'el, out of every tribe a man:
And Yahusha said unto them, Pass over before the Ark of Yahuah Elohaykem into the midst of the Yardan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Yashar'el:
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?
Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of the Yardan were cut off before the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah; when it passed over the Yardan, the waters of the Yardan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Yashar'el forever.
And the children of Yashar'el did so as Yahusha commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Yardan, as Yahuah spoke unto El-Yahusha, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Yashar'el, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
And Yahusha set up twelve stones in the midst of the Yardan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bore the Ark of the Covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
For the priests which bore the Ark stood in the midst of the Yardan, until everything was finished that Yahuah commanded Yahusha to speak unto the people, according to all that Mosheh commanded Yahusha: and the people hasted and passed over.
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the Ark of Yahuah passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
And the children of Re'uven, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Menashsheh, passed over armed before the children of Yashar'el, as Mosheh spoke unto them:
About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before Yahuah unto battle, to the plains of Yeriycho.
On that day Yahuah magnified Yahusha in the sight of all Yashar'el; and they feared him, as they feared Mosheh, all the days of his life.
And Yahuah spoke unto El-Yahusha, saying,
Command the priests that bear the Ark of the Testimony, that they come up out of the Yardan.
Yahusha therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of the Yardan.
And it came to pass, when the priests that bore the Ark of the Covenant of Yahuah were come up out of the midst of the Yardan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of the Yardan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
And the people came up out of the Yardan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Yeriycho.
And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Yardan, did Yahusha pitch in Gilgal.
And he spoke unto the children of Yashar'el, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Yashar'el came over this Yardan on dry land.
For Yahuah Elohaykem dried up the waters of the Yardan from before you, until ye were passed over, as Yahuah Elohaykem did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
That all the people of the earth might know the hand of Yahuah, that it is mighty: that ye might fear Yahuah Elohaykem forever.
