It seems from this verse, that there were two sorts of stones erected as a memorial of this great event: twelve at Gilgal (ver. 20,) and twelve in the bed of the Jordan; which last might have been placed on a base of strong stone work, so high as always to be visible, and serve to mark the very spot where the priests stood with the ark. Drs. Kennicott and Shuckford, however, would read here with the Syriac, {mittoch,} "from the midst," instead of {bethoch,} "in the midst;" and render, "And Joshua took up the twelve stones (taken) from the midst of Jordan," etc. But this reading is unsupported by any MS. yet collated; and it appears wholly unnecessary.

It greatly magnifies later mercies to compare them with those before enjoyed; for, by making the comparison, it appears that God is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. Later blessings should also bring to remembrance former mercies, and revive thankfulness for them. which he dried.Ex 14:21; Ne 9:11; Ps 77:16-19; 78:13; Isa 43:16; 63:12-14 all the people.Ex 9:16; De 28:10; 1Sa 17:46; 1Ki 8:42,43; 2Ki 5:15; 19:19Ps 106:8; Da 3:26-29; 4:34,35; 6:26,27that it is.Ex 15:16; 1Ch 29:12; Ps 89:13ye might.Ex 14:31; 20:20; De 6:2; Ps 76:6-8; 89:7; Jer 10:6,7; 32:40for ever.
