Joshua 24:21-27

²¹And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.

²²And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.

²³Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.

²⁴And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.

²⁵Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.

²⁶And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.

²⁷And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
