Joshua 4:10

Key Reflection

Joshua 4:10 commemorates a pivotal moment when Joshua commanded twelve stones to be placed in the Jordan River, marking the exact spot where the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stood. For the original audience, these stones served as a physical and enduring reminder of God’s miraculous intervention, as the waters of the Jordan were miraculously divided to allow the Israelites passage (Joshua 4:6-9). The placement of these stones ensured that future generations would recall this divine act of faith and obedience.
