What Does Joshua 15:6 Mean?
The line moves up through Beth-hoglah and along the north of Beth-arabah to a memorial called the stone of Bohan, named for a son of Reuben. Such a stone was set up to mark a place and keep a memory alive for those who came after.
A single stone, bearing one man's name, helps fix the border of a whole tribe. God works through small and ordinary markers, and He remembers the names of those who served before us. No faithful life is too obscure to leave its mark on the inheritance of God's people.
