Definitions for Joshua 4:20
Clarke's Joshua 4:20 Bible Commentary
Those twelve stones - It is very likely that a base of mason-work was erected of some considerable height, and then the twelve stones placed on the top of it; and that this was the case both in Jordan and in Gilgal: for twelve such stones as a man could carry a considerable way on his shoulder, see Joshua 4:5, could scarcely have made any observable altar, or pillar of memorial: but erected on a high base of mason-work they would be very conspicuous, and thus properly answer the end for which God ordered them to be set up.
Wesley's Joshua 4:20 Bible Commentary
4:20 In Gilgal - Probably in order, like so many little pillars, to keep up the remembrance of this miraculous benefit.
