Joshua 4:4-6

21st Century King James Version

⁴ Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

⁵ And Joshua said unto them, “Pass over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,

⁶ 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?’
