And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be your name.
Send men for you, and they shall spy out the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel; you shall send one man for the tribe of his fathers, one man, every one a leader among them.
And charge them, saying, Lift up twelve stones from this place, from the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the feet of the priests were fixed. And you shall pass them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place which you stay in it tonight.
