“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
Joshua 4:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Joshua 4.
1 When the whole nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,
2 “Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe,
3 and command them: ‘Take up for yourselves twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan where the priests were standing, carry them with you, and set them down in the place where you spend the night.’”
4 So Joshua summoned the twelve men he had appointed from the Israelites, one from each tribe,
5 and said to them, “Cross over before the ark of the LORD your God into the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to take a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of Israel,
6 to serve as a sign among you. In the future, when your children ask, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
