And it shall come to pass,''f he said, when your children shall say to you, ''what mean these stones 1 ye shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord when it passed over Jordan, and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel forever.
