Joshua 4:5 in Context — Joshua 4
3 Donnez-leur cet ordre: Enlevez d’ici, du milieu du Jourdain, de la place où les sacrificateurs se sont arrêtés de pied ferme, douze pierres, que vous emporterez avec vous, et que vous déposerez dans le lieu où vous passerez cette nuit.
4 Josué appela les douze hommes qu’il choisit parmi les enfants d’Israël, un homme de chaque tribu.
5 Il leur dit: Passez devant l’arche de l’Éternel, votre Dieu, au milieu du Jourdain, et que chacun de vous charge une pierre sur son épaule, selon le nombre des tribus des enfants d’Israël,
6 afin que cela soit un signe au milieu de vous. Lorsque vos enfants demanderont un jour: Que signifient pour vous ces pierres?
7 vous leur direz: Les eaux du Jourdain ont été coupées devant l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel; lorsqu’elle passa le Jourdain, les eaux du Jourdain ont été coupées, et ces pierres seront à jamais un souvenir pour les enfants d’Israël.
