2 | joshua set twelve stones | Josh 4:9 | JonnyRay49423 | 3025 | ||
The twelve stones were meant to provide occasions for teaching, for impressing upon the next generation Yahweh's mighty act at the Jordan. We can almost see it now. Fifteen years post-Jordan time an Israelite father and his six year-old son are strolling through Gilgal National Park. The lad spots an imposing pile of stones. He counts twelve, and exclaims, "Hey, Daddy, what are those stones for?" The son's curiosity now becomes the occasion for communicating to him the news of Israel's astounding God and how he unleased his power for his people. | ||||||

4 | is monument in existence today? | Josh 4:9 | EdB | 125003 | ||
santamonica woman I have always wondered about that myself. This passage Joshua 4:9 says the stone monument is there to this day. THIS DAY could mean one of two things. The most likely meaning is the day of the actual recording of this scripture, which some scholars feel is as little as 20 years after was built, still other Bible scholars think it was recorded nearly 500 year after the actual event. A less likely meaning of the term “this day” is this day or today as we reading it. Either way is possible with God. I'm told there are piles of rocks are found in and around this area, however to identify one and say with certainty this is the one built in Joshua 4:9 is simply impossible. Also after 3000 years shifting of the sand and ground while the monument could in fact be still there it would probably be buried deep below the surface. EdB |
