Joshua 4:8 in Context — Joshua 4
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.
8 Les enfants d’Israël firent ce que Josué leur avait ordonné. Ils enlevèrent douze pierres du milieu du Jourdain, comme l’Éternel l’avait dit à Josué, selon le nombre des tribus des enfants d’Israël, ils les emportèrent avec eux, et les déposèrent dans le lieu où ils devaient passer la nuit.
9 Josué dressa aussi douze pierres au milieu du Jourdain, à la place où s’étaient arrêtés les pieds des sacrificateurs qui portaient l’arche de l’alliance; et elles y sont restées jusqu’à ce jour.
10 Les sacrificateurs qui portaient l’arche se tinrent au milieu du Jourdain jusqu’à l’entière exécution de ce que l’Éternel avait ordonné à Josué de dire au peuple, selon tout ce que Moïse avait prescrit à Josué. Et le peuple se hâta de passer.
