Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared of the children of Israel,.... It may be for some other purpose, Joshua 3:12; but this was the destination of them eventually, and as by divine direction:
out of every tribe a man: as he had before ordered, and was now directed to.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 4:4. Twelve men, whom he had prepared — This must refer to their appointment, Joshua 3:12.
