When Israelites had finished crossing the Jordan River Joshua commanded the leaders to bring one stone for each tribe from the river bed and make a pile of stones on the east side of the river. These were to be a remembrance for the people of what God had done for them. They were to remember that God had done the impossible. He also commanded them to make a pile of stone in the midst of the river and when the waters returned to the normal flow of the river that pile would not be seen.
I got to thinking about that and I have a couple of questions. If any of you reading this have any ideas I would love to hear from you. The first question is why did they make a pile of stones in the river bed which no one would see? The second question is why did they make a memorial this time but when they had crossed the Red Sea there was no such memorial?
