EXPLANATION

Verse 12. Prepare. Hebrew “take.” But they must have been selected from the tribes, either to carry twelve stones out of the bed of the Jordan, and to place twelve others in their stead, as monuments of this stupendous miracle; ( Calmet.) or to accompany the priests and the ark, out of respect. Cajetan. Menochius.
