A. God told Joshua to get 12 rocks from the middle of the river
1 When all the people had crossed the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,
2 “Now choose twelve men, one from each tribe.
3 Tell them, ‘Take twelve stones from the very place where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan. Carry them out and pile them up at the place where you will camp tonight.’ ”
Joshua 4:
B. The rocks were to help them remember what God did and to share the testimony of what God did to future generations.
6 We will use these stones to build a memorial. In the future your children will ask you, ‘What do these stones mean?’
7 Then you can tell them, ‘They remind us that the Jordan River stopped flowing when the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant went across.’ These stones will stand as a memorial among the people of Israel forever.”
C. Joshua put 12 rocks in the riverbed as well
9 Joshua also set up another pile of twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, at the place where the priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant were standing. And they are there to this day.
D. What is it that we are supposed to remember?
24 He did this so all the nations of the earth might know that the Lord’s hand is powerful, and so you might fear the Lord your God forever.”
