Joshua 4:1-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
1
Now when the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the
Lord
spoke to Joshua, saying,
2
Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,
3
and command them, saying, ‘Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests’ feet are standing firmly, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the encampment where you will spend the night.’?'
4
So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;
5
and Joshua said to them, 'Cross again to the ark of the
Lord
your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
6
This shall be a sign among you; when your children ask later, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
King James Version
Chapter 4
1
And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the
Lord
spake unto Joshua, saying,
2
Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
3
And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, 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.
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 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?

Chapter 4
1
After the entire nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the
Lord
spoke to Joshua:
2
"Choose twelve men from the people, one man for each tribe,
3
and command them: Take twelve stones from this place in the middle of the Jordan where the priests are standing, carry them with you, and set them down at the place where you spend the night."
4
So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had selected from the Israelites, one man for each tribe,
5
and said to them, "Go across to the ark of the
Lord
your God in the middle of the Jordan. Each of you lift a stone onto his shoulder, one for each of the Israelite tribes,
6
so that this will be a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask you, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
New Living Translation
Chapter 4
1
When all the people had crossed the Jordan, the
Lord
said to Joshua,
2
Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe.
3
Tell them, ‘Take twelve stones from the very place where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan. Carry them out and pile them up at the place where you will camp tonight.’'
4
So Joshua called together the twelve men he had chosen — one from each of the tribes of Israel.
5
He told them, 'Go into the middle of the Jordan, in front of the Ark of the
Lord
your God. Each of you must pick up one stone and carry it out on your shoulder — twelve stones in all, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
6
We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’
