Joshua 4:6 in Context — Joshua 4
4 Então Josué chamou aos doze homens, os quais ele havia ordenado dentre os filhos de Israel, de cada tribo um;
5 E disse-lhes Josué: Passai diante da arca do SENHOR vosso Deus ao meio do Jordão; e cada um de vós tome uma pedra sobre seu ombro, conforme ao número das tribos dos filhos de Israel;
6 Para que isto seja sinal entre vós; e quando vossos filhos perguntarem a seus pais amanhã, dizendo: “Que vos significam estas pedras?”
7 Então vós lhes respondereis: “As águas do Jordão foram interrompidas diante da arca do pacto do SENHOR; quando ela passou pelo Jordão, as águas do Jordão se separaram; e estas pedras serão por memorial aos filhos de Israel para sempre.
8 E os filhos de Israel o fizeram assim como Josué havia lhes mandado, e levantaram doze pedras do meio do Jordão, como o SENHOR havia dito a Josué, conforme o número das tribos dos filhos de Israel; e levaram-nas consigo ao alojamento, e ali as puseram.
