Israels barn gjorde som Josva hadde befalt, og tok opp tolv steiner fra midten av Jordan, slik Herren hadde sagt til Josva, etter antallet av de Israels barns stammer. De bar dem med seg til stedet der de skulle overnatte, og la dem ned der.
The children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Yahweh spoke to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
