'Reason' in the Bible

So that this may be a sign among you; when your children say to you in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

And he said to the children of Israel, When your children say to their fathers in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.
