19 And the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the eastern edgev of Jericho. 20 And those twelve stones that they took from the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal. 21 And he said to the ⌊Israelites⌋,w “When your children ask in the future ⌊their parents⌋,x ‘⌊What is the meaning of these stones⌋?’y 22 you will let your children know by saying, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.’ 23 For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you, until you had crossed, just as Yahweh your God did to the ⌊Red Sea⌋,z which he dried up before us until we had crossed over, 24 so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of Yahweh is strong, so that you may fear Yahweh your God ⌊forever⌋.”a
