Contextual Overview

1 And it happened, when all the nation had completely crossed over the Jordan, Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying, 2 Take twelve men for you out of the people, one man of each tribe. 3 And charge them, saying, Take twelve stones from this place, from the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the feet of the priests were fixed. And you shall carry them over with you andlay them down in the lodging place whichyou stay in it tonight. 4 And Joshua called to the twelve men whom he had readied from the sons of Israel, one man out of each tribe. 5 And Joshua said to them, Cross over before the ark of Jehovah your God to the middle of the Jordan, and each man of you lift up one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, 6 that this shall be a sign among you, when your children ask hereafter, saying, What are these stones to you? 7 You shall say to them, Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as it crossed over into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones are for a memorial to the sons of Israelall the days. 8 And the sons of Israel did as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the middle of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and crossed over with them to the lodgingplace, and laid them down there; 9 even the twelve stones that Joshua lifted up in the middle of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant stood firm. And they are there until 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.
