Josué 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 4:5

And Joshua said unto them
The twelve men:

pass ye over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of
Jordan;
that is, they were to go back to Jordan again, which they had passed over, and go into the midst of it, where were the priests bearing the ark; for it is not to be imagined that the ark went along with them, or followed them, they going before it; but they went where that was, just before it, from whence they were to take the stones, as next directed:

and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder;
by which it appears they were large stones they were to take, not what they could carry in their hands, but what they were obliged to take upon their shoulders:

according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel;
who had that day passed over Jordan, of which these stones were to be a memorial.

Josué 4:5 In-Context

3 y ordenadles, diciendo: "Tomad doce piedras de aquí, de en medio del Jordán, del lugar donde los pies de los sacerdotes están firmes, y llevadlas con vosotros y colocadlas en el alojamiento donde habéis de pasar la noche."
4 Llamó, pues, Josué a los doce hombres que había señalado de entre los hijos de Israel, uno de cada tribu;
5 y Josué les dijo: Pasad delante del arca del SEÑOR vuestro Dios al medio del Jordán, y alce cada uno una piedra sobre su hombro, de acuerdo con el número de las tribus de los hijos de Israel.
6 Sea esto una señal entre vosotros, y más tarde cuando vuestros hijos pregunten, diciendo: "¿Qué significan estas piedras para vosotros?",
7 les diréis: "Es que las aguas del Jordán quedaron cortadas delante del arca del pacto del SEÑOR; cuando ésta pasó el Jordán, las aguas del Jordán quedaron cortadas." Así que estas piedras servirán como recuerdo a los hijos de Israel para siempre.
