And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 4 of Joshua. After the crossing, God commands twelve stones to be taken from the Jordan, one for each tribe. The stones serve as a visible memorial for future generations. Their purpose is not simply to preserve the memory of a military achievement, but to teach children that God miraculously brought Israel through the Jordan. Joshua also sets up a second group of stones in the middle of the river, reinforcing the symbolic dimension of the place where divine intervention became associated with national memory.
