20. At Gilgal Joshua set up the twelve stones that had been taken from the Jordan,
21. saying to the Israelites, “In the future, when your children ask their parents, ‘What do these stones mean?’
22. you shall inform them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan here on dry ground.’
23. For the Lord, your God, dried up the waters of the Jordan in front of you until you crossed over, just as the Lord, your God, had done at the Red Sea, drying it up in front of us until we crossed over,
24. in order that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, and that you may fear the Lord, your God, forever.”
