Read Joshua 4.1-9. Commemorative stones. In verse 1: Verse 11 repeats words from this verse and 3.17 to indicate that vv. 2-10 happened while the crossing was still going on. In verse 3: The stones are temporarily deposited in the camp, but will be set up permanently at Gilgal (v. 20). In verses 6-7: The stones memorializes the crossing for future generations (compare Deut 6.20-25). This answer highlights the role of the ark and that the water was cut off (in contrast to vv. 22-24). In verse 9: What is apparently a second group of stones is installed in the river itself.
