And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. And he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of LORD.

Therefore we also will serve LORD, for he is our God. And Joshua said to the people, Ye cannot serve LORD, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your transgression nor your sins. If ye forsake LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after he has done you good. And the people said to Joshua, No, but we will serve LORD. And Joshua said to the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen for you, LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. Now therefore, [he said], put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to LORD, the God of Israel. And the people said to Joshua, we will serve LORD our God, and we will hearken to his voice. So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. And he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of LORD. And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of LORD which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God. So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
