He said to the sons of Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in time to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’
And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What does this mean?’ you shall say to him, ‘With a strong and powerful hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of bondage and slavery.
And those twelve stones which they had taken from the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
then you shall let your children know, ‘Israel crossed this Jordan on dry ground.’
so that this may be a sign among you; when your children ask later, ‘What do these stones mean to you?’
