Joshua 4:20 — Meaning and Application

And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, {and} the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as {they did} before. {lifted...: Heb. plucked up} {flowed: Heb. went}

And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth {day} of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.

And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.

And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What {mean} these stones? {in time...: Heb. to morrow}

Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
