24 And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God and obey him.”(A)

25 On that day Joshua made a covenant(B) for the people, and there at Shechem(C) he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws.(D) 26 And Joshua recorded(E) these things in the Book of the Law of God.(F) Then he took a large stone(G) and set it up there under the oak(H) near the holy place of the Lord.

27 “See!” he said to all the people. “This stone(I) will be a witness(J) against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us. It will be a witness against you if you are untrue(K) to your God.”(L)

24 And the people said unto Joshua, The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

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

27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

28 So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.

29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
