When it crossed the Jordan, the waters were cut off.’ Therefore these stones will be a memorial to the Israelites (God prevails) forever.” 8 Thus the Israelites (God prevails) did as Joshua (YHWH saves) had commanded them. They took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan (flowing down), one for each tribe of Israel, just as the LORD {YHWH} had told Joshua; and they carried them to the camp, where they set them down. 9 Joshua also (YHWH saves) set up twelve stones [that had been] in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant stood. And the stones are there to this day. Joshua 4:6-9, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
