Joshua Chapter 4

Chapter 4 of the Book of Joshua in the King James Version (KJV) recounts a significant event following the crossing of the Jordan River by the Israelites. As the chapter unfolds, it becomes evident that the crossing was divinely orchestrated. The people are commanded to choose twelve men, one from each tribe, who would each take a stone from the midst of the Jordan and set it up as a memorial at their campsite. The purpose of these stones was to serve as a reminder for future generations of the miraculous crossing and the power of God.

In the subsequent verses, Joshua addresses the Israelites, explaining the significance of the memorial stones. He reminds them that the stones would prompt their children to ask about the meaning behind them, providing an opportunity to recount the story of their deliverance from Egypt and the crossing of the Jordan. The stones were intended to perpetuate the memory of God’s faithfulness and power among the people.
