Commentary on Joshua 4:20

Theological / Devotional

Pitch. Literally, “caused to stand.” A stonework foundation or mound of earth of considerable height was probably laid first, and the 12 stones placed on top of it. Twelve stones of a size that could be carried that distance on a man’s shoulder would not have made a very conspicuous monument unless erected on such a base.
