And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two [plus] ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.
4 Entonces Josué mandó llamar a los doce hombres que había elegido, uno de cada tribu,

7 ustedes puedan responderles: ‘Son un recordatorio de cuando el río Jordán dejó de fluir mientras el Arca del Pacto del Señor cruzaba el río. Cuando el arca cruzó, el agua se detuvo. Estas piedras son un recordatorio eterno para el pueblo de Israel’”.

8 Entonces el pueblo de Israel hizo lo que Josué les dijo. Los hombres recogieron doce piedras del medio del Jordán como el Señor le había ordenado a Josué. Las llevaron al lugar donde acamparon durante la noche y las colocaron allí, una por cada una de las tribus de Israel.
And they did thus [the] people of Israel just as he had commanded Joshua and they took up two [plus] ten stones from [the] middle of the Jordan just as he had said Yahweh to Joshua to [the] number of [the] tribes of [the] people of Israel and they took over them with them to the lodging place and they set down them there.
