What Does Joshua 4:20 Mean?
Joshua takes the twelve stones the men had carried from the riverbed and sets them up at Gilgal, the new camp. The memorial now stands on the soil of the promised land.
The stones find their resting place at last, planted where Israel first settles in the land. What was carried through the river is now firmly set up, a permanent witness on holy ground. God's deliverance is not left at the water's edge but established in the place of inheritance, a marker for every traveler and child who will pass that way.
