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
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.
