Israel Crosses the Jordan on Dry GroundBible World
4:15Joshua 4:15
And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:15 belongs to the account of Israel's crossing of the Jordan while the priests bearing the ark stood in the river. During that crossing twelve men, one taken from each tribe, lifted stones from the riverbed from the very place where the priests stood. They carried those stones over to the western side to erect them as a memorial. The memorial was appointed to help later generations remember and retell how God delivered Israel, so that all people might know His power and fear Him forever.
