2 " Take for yourselves twelve e men from the people , one man from each e tribe , 3 and command them, saying , 'Take up for yourselves twelve e stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan , from the place where the priests' feet are standing firm , and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight .' "
