Joshua 24:19-28

19Joshua warned the people, “You will not keep worshiping the Lord, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God who will not forgive your rebellion or your sins.

20If you abandon the Lord and worship foreign gods, he will turn against you; he will bring disaster on you and destroy you, though he once treated you well.”

21The people said to Joshua, “No! We really will worship the Lord!”

22Joshua said to the people, “Do you agree to be witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to worship the Lord?” They replied, “We are witnesses!”

23Joshua said, “Now put aside the foreign gods that are among you and submit to the Lord God of Israel.”

24The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and obey him.”

25That day Joshua drew up an agreement for the people, and he established rules and regulations for them in Shechem.

26Joshua wrote these words in the Law Scroll of God. He then took a large stone and set it up there under the oak tree near the Lord’s shrine.

27Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the Lord said to us. It will be a witness against you if you deny your God.”

28When Joshua dismissed the people, they went to their allotted portions of land.
