"We Will Serve the Lord"
14 "Now, therefore, 24:14 Or reverefear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and 24:14 Or faithfulnesstruth; and do away with the gods which your fathers served beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 But if it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served, which were beyond the Euphrates River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
22 So Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the Lord, to serve Him." And they said, "We are witnesses." 25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. 26 And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God; and he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. 27 Then Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us, because it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke 24:27 Lit withto us; so it shall be a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God."
