Joshua 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 4:4

Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had prepared of the
children of Israel
It may be for some other purpose, ( Joshua 3:12 ) ; but this was the destination of them eventually, and as by divine direction:

out of every tribe a man:
as he had before ordered, and was now directed to.

Joshua 4:4 In-Context

2 elige duodecim viros singulos per singulas tribus

3 et praecipe eis ut tollant de medio Iordanis alveo ubi steterunt sacerdotum pedes duodecim durissimos lapides quos ponetis in loco castrorum ubi fixeritis hac nocte tentoria

4 vocavitque Iosue duodecim viros quos elegerat de filiis Israhel singulos de tribubus singulis

5 et ait ad eos ite ante arcam Domini Dei vestri ad Iordanis medium et portate singuli singulos lapides in umeris vestris iuxta numerum filiorum Israhel

6 ut sit signum inter vos et quando interrogaverint vos filii vestri cras dicentes quid sibi volunt isti lapides
