Stenen van het geheugen

Israelite men build a memorial of stones beside the Jordan River after the people of Israel have crossed into the Promised Land. In the foreground, two men lift and place large river stones onto a stacked monument, while others gather near the water and along the riverbank. The scene reflects the command given to Joshua: twelve stones were taken from the Jordan as a sign for future generations, so children would ask what they meant and hear how the Lord stopped the waters for Israel.

The memorial points to covenant memory, obedience, and public testimony. The stones do not merely mark a location; they proclaim that God brought His people through the river by His mighty hand. This artwork serves well for teaching on Joshua 4, remembrance, faithfulness, Israel’s entrance into Canaan, and the importance of passing God’s works from one generation to the next.
