OLD
TESTAMENT
READING:
Joshua
4:1-9
When
the
whole
nation
had
finished
crossing
the
Jordan,
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
"Choose
twelve
men
from
among
the
people,
one
from
each
tribe,
and
tell
them
to
take
up
twelve
stones
from
the
middle
of
the
Jordan
from
right
where
the
priests
stood
and
to
carry
them
over
with
you
and
put
them
down
at
the
place
where
you
stay
tonight."
