Joshua 4:1-9 "And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man, And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night. Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man: And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take ye up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel: That this may be a sign among you ... And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there. And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day."
If the stones were still there, some would take this as evidence that the biblical story of the conquest of Canaan is true. However, archaeologists have found no evidence that they ever existed. In fact, the near-consensus of scholars is that the conquest of Canaan never happened as described in The Bible. Others say that ritual references to stones is a relic of the ancient Semitic veneration of stones. The Jewish Encyclopedia tells us that the worship of sacred stones constituted one of the most general and ancient forms of religion, but among no other people was this worship so important as among the Semites.
The stones have never been found, and there is no reason to believe that they ever will be.

Twelve thirds is equal to 4. The square root of 4 is 2, and since twelve thirds is equal to 4, the square root of twelve thirds is also equal to 4, which is 2.
I think the story you are looking for is in Joshua 4. One person from each of the twelve tribes picked up a rock.
