And he speaketh unto the sons of Israel, saying, `When your sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What `are' these stones?
`And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What `is' this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;
and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the Jordan, hath Joshua raised up in Gilgal.
then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land Israel passed over this Jordan;
so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What `are' these stones to you?
