Joshua 24:25 Context
23Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and encline your heart vnto the Lord God of Israel. 24And the people saide vnto Ioshua; The Lord our God will we serue, and his voice will we obey. 25So Ioshua made a couenant with the people that day, and set them a Statute, & an Ordinance in Shechem. 26¶ And Ioshua wrote these words in the booke of the Law of God, and tooke a great stone, and set it vp there, vnder an oake, that was by the Sanctuary of the Lord. 27And Ioshua saide vnto all the people, Behold, this stone shalbe a witnesse vnto vs; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which hee spake vnto vs; it shall be there for a witnesse vnto you, lest ye deny your God.
