Joshua 4:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ So Joshua called the twelve men together whom the Israelites had chosen, one man from each tribe, ⁵ and Joshua said to them, “Cross over in front of the Ark of the Lord, your God, into the middle of the Jordan and have each man place a rock on his shoulder, one for each of the tribes of the Israelites. ^6 [a]These will serve as a reminder for you when, in the future, your children ask, ‘What is the meaning of these stones?’
