Jozua 4:8

De kinderen Israels nu deden alzo, gelijk als Jozua geboden had; en zij namen twaalf stenen op midden uit de Jordaan, gelijk als de HEERE tot Jozua gesproken had, naar het getal der stammen van de kinderen Israels en zij brachten ze met zich over naar het nachtleger, en stelden ze aldaar.

Toen deden de kinderen Israls zoals Jozua hun geboden had, en droegen twaalf stenen midden uit den Jordaan, gelijk de Heer tot Jozua gezegd had, naar het getal van de stammen der kinderen Israls, en zij brachten die met zich over ter plaatse der vernachting, en lieten ze aldaar.

Bible Verse Review

did so as Joshua: Joshua 4:2-5, Joshua 1:16-18

Reciprocal: Exodus 24:4 - according Joshua 4:3 - leave them Joshua 4:20 - General 1 Samuel 15:12 - he set him 1 Samuel 17:54 - took the head

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded,.... That is, the twelve men taken out of the twelve tribes of Israel, and who were the representatives of them in this action;

and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the Lord spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; they took the exact number, and out of the very place Joshua was ordered to direct them to do:

and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged: which, as Josephus says i, was fifty furlongs from Jordan, which was above six miles; so far they carried these stones on their shoulders:

and laid them down there; which afterwards were put in proper order by Joshua, or at least by his direction.

i Antiqu. l. 5. c. 1. sect. 4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Laid them down there - i. e. in Gilgal Joshua 4:20. Spoken of as the doers of this, because it was done by the twelve who acted for them.
