And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What do these stones mean?
And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say to him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
And those twelve stones, which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Then you shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What do you mean by these stones?
