Joshua built a memorial in Gilgal with the twelve stones take from the crossing of the Jordan. He also built a memorial in the midst of the Jordan where the priest had stood. From this, we learn that you cannot leave a legacy that does not exist within you. You cannot memorialize that which is not internalized.
