Joshua 24:24-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ Then the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the Lord our God. We will obey him.”

²⁵ On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people. There at Shechem he reminded them of its rules and laws. ²⁶ He recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he got a large stone. He set it up in Shechem under the oak tree. It was near the place that had been set apart for the Lord.

²⁷ “Look!” he said to all the people. “This stone will be a witness against us. It has heard all the words the Lord has spoken to us. Suppose you aren’t faithful to your God. Then the stone will be a witness against you.”

²⁸ Joshua sent the people away. He sent all of them to their own shares of land.
