21And the people saith unto Joshua, 'No, but Jehovah we do serve.'
22And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, 'Witnesses!')
23and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which are in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.'
24And the people say unto Joshua, 'Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.'
25And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day, and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem.
26And Joshua writeth these words in the Book of the Law of God, and taketh a great stone, and raiseth it up there under the oak which is in the sanctuary of Jehovah.
27And Joshua saith unto all the people, 'Lo, this stone is against us for a witness, for it hath heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He hath spoken with us, and it hath been against you for a witness, lest ye lie against your God.'
