The Covenant Renewal
14 "Therefore, fear the Lord and worship him in sincerity and truth. 24:14 Dt 10:12; 1Sm 12:24 Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped 24:14 Gn 35:4 beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and worship the Lord. 15 But if it doesn’t please you to worship the Lord, choose for yourselves today: Which will you worship — the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living? 24:15 Jdg 6:10 As for me and my family, we will worship the Lord."
22 Joshua then told the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you yourselves have chosen to worship the Lord."
"We are witnesses," they said.
25 On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people at Shechem and established a statute and ordinance for them. 26 Joshua recorded these things in the book of the law of God; 24:26 Dt 31:24 he also took a large stone and set it up there under the oak at the sanctuary of the Lord. 27 And Joshua said to all the people, "You see this stone — it will be a witness against us, 24:27 Jos 22:27,34 for it has heard all the words the Lord said to us, and it will be a witness against you, so that you will not deny your God."
