"Passate davanti all’arca dell’Eterno, del vostro Dio, in mezzo al Giordano, e ognun di voi tolga in ispalla una pietra, secondo il numero delle tribù dei figliuoli d’Israele,
e disse loro: Passate dinanzi all’Arca del Signore Iddio vostro, in mezzo al Giordano, e levisi ciascun di voi in ispalla una pietra, secondo il numero delle tribù de’ figliuoli d’Israele.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joshua said unto them,.... The twelve men:
pass ye over before the ark of the Lord your God into the midst of Jordan; that is, they were to go back to Jordan again, which they had passed over, and go into the midst of it, where were the priests bearing the ark; for it is not to be imagined that the ark went along with them, or followed them, they going before it; but they went where that was, just before it, from whence they were to take the stones, as next directed:
and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder; by which it appears they were large stones they were to take, not what they could carry in their hands, but what they were obliged to take upon their shoulders:
according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; who had that day passed over Jordan, of which these stones were to be a memorial.
