Location

Jordan River

The Israelites, led by Yehoshua, crossed the Jordan River on dry ground into Eretz Yisrael. They erected twelve stones at Gilgal as a memorial (Yehoshua 3-4). The date deliberately echoed the 10th of Nisan in Egypt, linking the entry into the Land with the original redemption.
