Joshua 4:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 then you shall say to them, ‘That the (A)waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.’ So these stones shall become a (B)memorial to the sons of Israel forever.”
8 So the sons of Israel did exactly as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan, just as the Lord spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel; and they carried them over with them to (C)the encampment and put them down there. 9 Then Joshua set up twelve (D)stones in the middle of the Jordan at the place where the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant were standing, and they are there to this day.

8 So the Israelites did as Joshua commanded them. They took twelve stones(C) from the middle of the Jordan,(D) according to the number of the tribes of the Israelites, as the Lord had told Joshua;(E) and they carried them over with them to their camp, where they put them down. 9 Joshua set up the twelve stones(F) that had been[a] in the middle of the Jordan at the spot where the priests who carried the ark of the covenant had stood. And they are there to this day.(G)
