Joshua 4:1 When all the nation had finished passing over the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua, 2 “Take twelve men from the people, from each tribe a man, 3 and command them, saying, ‘Take twelve stones from here out of the midst of the Jordan, from the very place where the priests' feet stood firmly, and bring them over with you and lay them down in the place where you lodge tonight.’”
Once again, God knows our tendency to forget, and our failure to often tell the next generation. This crossing leads to the road up to Jericho, often referred to in scripture. It became an often-travelled road, where God's people who lived across the river would often travel in future years when Jerusalem would become the capital. We are talking centuries of generations who could ask: "What is this and why is it here." May we leave behind evidence to cause coming generations to do the same.
