When the Israelite tribes had to cross over the Jordan River to get to the promised land, God dried the waters like He had at the Red Sea at their escape from Egypt. While the waters of the Jordan were dry, God told Joshua to tell the people to take twelve big rocks of it out to dry land and build them into a pile where they camped that night. And he told Joshua to make a pile of twelve in the middle of the Jordan while the waters were held at bay. (Joshua 3:14-4:18)
