And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 4 of Joshua. The conclusion of the Jordan narrative expands the meaning of the memorial. The stones not only remind Israel of God’s power; they also have a missionary function, because the nations are to know that the hand of the Lord is mighty. The ultimate purpose is for Israel to fear the Lord continually. The miracle is therefore interpreted within a theology of memory: God’s works must be remembered so that they produce instruction, identity, and reverence in succeeding generations.
