 ye shall answer to them, The waters of the Jordan failed before the ark of the bond of peace of the Lord, when the ark passed over the Jordan; therefore these stones be set into mind of the sons of Israel, till into without end. ye shall answer to them, The waters of the Jordan River stopped flowing before the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, when the Ark crossed over the Jordan River; and so these stones be here to help the Israelites to remember this forevermore.
