19. It was the tenth day of the first month of the year when Israel crossed the River Jordan. They set up camp at Gilgal, which was east of the land controlled by Jericho.
20. The men who had carried the twelve rocks from the Jordan brought them to Joshua, and they made them into a monument.
21. Then Joshua told the people:Years from now your children will ask you why these rocks are here.
22-23. Tell them, “The Lord our God dried up the River Jordan so we could walk across. He did the same thing here for us that he did for our people at the Red Sea,
24. because he wants everyone on earth to know how powerful he is. And he wants us to worship only him.”
