Joshua wrote these words in the Law Scroll of God. He then took a large stone and set it up there under the oak tree near the LORD’s shrine.Joshua said to all the people,“ Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the LORD said to us. It will be a witness against you if you deny your God.”

Early in the morning Jacob took the stone he had placed near his head and set it up as a sacred stone. Then he poured oil on top of it.

The LORD made the Jordan a boundary between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no right to worship the LORD.’ In this way your descendants might cause our descendants to stop obeying the LORD.So we decided to build this altar, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices,but as a reminder to us and you, and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the LORD in his very presence with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants,‘ You have no right to worship the LORD.’We said,‘ If in the future they say such a thing to us or to our descendants, we will reply,“ See the model of the LORD’s altar that our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a reminder to us and you.”’

Then he said to his relatives,“ Gather stones.” So they brought stones and put them in a pile. They ate there by the pile of stones.Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.Laban said,“ This pile of stones is a witness of our agreement today.” That is why it was called Galeed.It was also called Mizpah because he said,“ May the LORD watch between us when we are out of sight of one another.If you mistreat my daughters or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no one else is with us, realize that God is witness to your actions.”“ Here is this pile of stones and this pillar I have set up between me and you,” Laban said to Jacob.“ This pile of stones and the pillar are reminders that I will not pass beyond this pile to come to harm you and that you will not pass beyond this pile and this pillar to come to harm me.

Joshua told them,“ Go in front of the ark of the LORD your God to the middle of the Jordan. Each of you is to put a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the Israelite tribes.The stones will be a reminder to you. When your children ask someday,‘ Why are these stones important to you?’tell them how the water of the Jordan stopped flowing before the ark of the covenant of the LORD. When it crossed the Jordan, the water of the Jordan stopped flowing. These stones will be a lasting memorial for the Israelites.”The Israelites did just as Joshua commanded. They picked up twelve stones, according to the number of the Israelite tribes, from the middle of the Jordan as the LORD had instructed Joshua. They carried them over with them to the camp and put them there.Joshua also set up twelve stonesin the middle of the Jordan in the very place where the priests carrying the ark of the covenant stood. They remain there to this very day.
