Contextual Overview

1So it was when all the nation had finished crossing the Jordan, the LORD said to Joshua,2"Take for yourselves the twelve men [chosen] from among the people, one man from each tribe, 3and command them, 'Pick up for yourselves twelve stones [one each] from here out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet are standing firm; carry them over with you and lay them down at the place where you will spend the night tonight.'" 4Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe; 5and Joshua said to them, "Cross over again to the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, 6so that this may be a sign among you; when your children ask later, 'What do these stones mean to you?' 7then you shall say to them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. So these stones shall become a memorial for Israel forever." 8So the [twelve men chosen from the] sons of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had spoken to Joshua; and they carried them over with them to the place where they were spending the night and put them down there. 9Then Joshua set up [a second monument of] twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan at the place where the feet of the priests who carried the ark of the covenant were standing, and they are there to this day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan,.... As related, Joshua 3:17;

that the Lord spake unto Joshua, saying: as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER IV

When the people are passed over, Joshua commands twelve men, one

taken out of each tribe, to take up a stone on his shoulder out

of the midst of the river, and carry it to the other side, to

be set up as a memorial of this miraculous passage, 1-7.

They do so, and set up the stones in the place where they encamp

the first night, 8, 9.

The priests stand in the river, till all the people are passed

over, 10, 11.

Of the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

40,000 fighting men pass over with the other tribes, 12, 13.

Joshua is magnified in the sight of the people, and they fear

him as they did Moses, 14.

The priests are commanded to come up out of the river, which, on

their leaving it, immediately returns, and overflows its banks

as before, 15-18.

This miraculous passage takes place the tenth day of the first

month, 19.

The stones are set up in Gilgal, and Joshua teaches the people

what use they are to make of them, 20-24.
