Joshua 24:27

The Israelites Promise To Serve Yahweh

²⁶ Joshua wrote these commands in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up under the oak tree in Jehovah's sanctuary. ²⁷ Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be for a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us; thus it shall be for a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God.” ²⁸ Joshua sent the people away, and everyone returned to their own part of the land.
