⁷ Then you shall answer them that ^(A)the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for ^(B)a memorial to the children of Israel forever.”

¹⁴ ‘So this day shall be to you ^(A)a memorial; and you shall keep it as a ^(B)feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast ^(C)by an everlasting ordinance.

⁴⁰ to be a ^[a]memorial to the children of Israel ^(A)that no outsider, who is not a descendant of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the Lord, that he might not become like Korah and his companions, just as the Lord had said to him through Moses.

¹² And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So ^(A)Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders ^(B)as a memorial.

²⁴ and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ^[a]“Take, eat; this is My body which is ^[b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

⁶ that this may be ^(A)a sign among you ^(B)when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’

¹³ And it shall come to pass, ^(A)as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the Lord, ^(B)the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they ^(C)shall stand as a heap.”

¹⁴ So it was, when the people set out from their camp to cross over the Jordan, with the priests bearing the ^(D)ark of the covenant before the people, ¹⁵ and as those who bore the ark came to the Jordan, and ^(E)the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water (for the ^(F)Jordan overflows all its banks ^(G)during the whole time of harvest), ¹⁶ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away ^[a]at Adam, the city that is beside ^(H)Zaretan. So the waters that went down ^(I)into the Sea of the Arabah, ^(J)the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.
