3 og seg til deim at dei skal taka upp tolv steinar av deim som ligg her midt i Jordan, på den staden der prestarne stend stille; desse steinarne skal dei bera med seg yver, og leggja deim ned der som de kjem til å lægra dykk i natt.»
And command them saying take up for yourselves from here from [the] middle of the Jordan from [the] standing-place of [the] feet of the priests to make firm two [plus] ten stones and you will take over them with you and you will set down them at the lodging place which you will stay at it this night.

8 Israels-sønerne gjorde som Josva sagde, og tok midt uti Jordan tolv steinar, etter talet på Israels-ætterne, soleis som Herren hadde sagt til Josva, og bar deim med seg yver til nattlægret og lagde deim ned der.
