The 12 Stones Carried Out of River Jordan Representing the 12 Tribes of Isreal
When the Israelites crossed the River Jordan to reach the Promised Land, they did something very special to remember this amazing event.
A Command from God
God told Joshua, the leader of the Israelites, to choose 12 men, one from each tribe. These men had a unique job: to pick up 12 stones from the middle of the riverbed where the priests stood with the Ark of the Covenant.
The Stones’ Journey
The 12 men each took a stone on their shoulder and carried it out of the river. These weren’t just any stones; they were a sign of the 12 tribes of Israel and God’s help.
Setting Up the Memorial
When they reached their camp at Gilgal, they put down the stones to make a memorial. This was not just a pile of rocks; it was a reminder of their journey and God’s miracles.
A Lesson for the Future
Joshua said that in the future, when children asked about the stones, their parents would tell them the story of how the Israelites crossed the river on dry ground. It was a way to remember and teach about God’s power and care.
Conclusion
The 12 stones from the River Jordan are a symbol of unity and memory. They remind us that we should always remember the good things that happen to us and who helped us along the way.
