1 - (5:1) Israel at Gilgal
Once the nation crosses Jordan, the Lord tells Joshua to select 12 men (1 from each tribe) to take a stone to the middle of the Jordan and place them in the middle of the Jordan. 14: On that day the Lord exalted Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they stood in awe of him, as they had stood in awe of Moses, all the days of his life.
Then the Lord tells Joshua to command the ark-bearing priests to step out of the Jordan and once they do, the Jordan fills its banks once again.
Question of the Day: What do the stones mean?

Slight correction: They took stones FROM the middle of the Jordan where the Ark was and placed them where the tribe camped that night.
ANSWER: as a memorial of God stopping the Jordan for them to cross safely and so the world would know that God is powerful and to be feared.
That's right!
