- When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
- "Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
- and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight."
- So Joshua called together the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
- and said to them, "Go over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites,

- Now when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD spoke to Joshua, saying,
- "Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,
- 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 firm, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight.'"
- So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;
- 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.
