How many stones were taken to river Jordan

1 answer

The account of the stones taken from the River Jordan can be found in the Bible, specifically in the Book of Joshua, Chapter 4. According to the narrative, after the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, Joshua instructed one man from each of the twelve tribes to take a stone from the middle of the river where the priests were standing with the Ark of the Covenant. These twelve stones were later set up as a memorial at their campsite in Gilgal to serve as a sign for future generations, signifying the miraculous stopping of the river's flow and the safe crossing.

So, the number of stones taken from the River Jordan was twelve, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
