Joshua 4:20-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. Likewise, the twelve stones that they had taken up from the channel of the Jordan, Joshua stationed at Gilgal.

21. And he said to the sons of Israel: "When your sons will question their fathers, tomorrow, and they will say to them, 'What do these stones mean to you?'

22. you shall teach them, and you shall say: 'Israel passed over this Jordan, through the dry channel.'

23. For the Lord your God dried up its waters in your sight, until you crossed over,

24. just as he had done before, at the Red Sea, which he dried up until we crossed over.

25. So may all the peoples of the earth learn of the very powerful hand of the Lord. So may you also fear the Lord your God for all time."
