ENTRY INTO THE PROMISED LAND

Memory Verse: Joshua 4:6-7 

"When your children ask you in time to come, 'What do these stones mean to you?' Then you shall tell them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it passed over the Jordan..."

After Moses died, God made Joshua the new leader of the Israelites.


God then told Joshua to take the people to the River Jordan. 


Joshua lead the Israelites to cross the River Jordan with the priests

 

in front carrying the Ark of the Covenant. The feet of the priests 


touched the water and God divided the river into two. The Israelites

 

crossed the River Jordan on dry ground and entered the Promised 


Land.

 

THE TWELVE STONE

After crossing the river, God told Joshua to select twelve men with

 one man from each tribe. Each man would take a stone from the

 middle of the River Jordan and each tribe would keep the stone

 forever.

The stone was to remind them of God's help in crossing the River

 Jordan.
