Joshua 4:19-24

English Standard Version

¹⁹ The people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they encamped at ^(A)Gilgal on the east border of Jericho. ²⁰ And ^(B)those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up at Gilgal. ²¹ And he said to the people of Israel, ^(C)“When your children ask their fathers in times to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’ ²² then you shall let your children know, ^(D)‘Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.’ ²³ For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, ^(E)which he dried up for us until we passed over, ^24 (F)so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is ^(G)mighty, that you may ^(H)fear the Lord your God forever.”^[a]
