Joshua 24:19-28

19And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye cannotH3808 serveH5647 the LORDH3068; for he is an holyH6918 GodH430; he is a jealousH7072 GodH430; he will notH3808 forgiveH5375 your transgressionH6588 norH3808 your sinsH2403.

20IfH3588 ye forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430, then he will turnH7725 and doH3190 youH834 evilH7489, and consumeH3615 youH834, afterH310 that he hath doneH3190 youH834 goodH3190.

21And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Nay; but weH3588 will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.

22And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 againstH413 yourselves that ye have chosenH977 youH859 the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 him. And they saidH559, WeH3588 are witnessesH5707.

23NowH6258 therefore putH5493 awayH5493, saidH413 he, the strangeH5236 godsH430 whichH834 are among youH834, and inclineH5186 your heartH3824 unto the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

24And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, The LORDH3068 our GodH430 will weH8085 serveH5647, and unto his voiceH6963 will weH8085 hearken.

25SoH7760 JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the peopleH5971 that dayH3117, and setH7760 them a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 in ShechemH7927.

26And JoshuaH3091 wroteH3789 theseH428 wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430; and he tookH3947 a greatH1419 stoneH68, and setH6965 it upH6965 there underH8478 the oakH427 that was by the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068.

27And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971, BeholdH2009, this stoneH68 shall be a witnessH8085 againstH413 usH413; for it hath heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH561 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 he spake unto usH413: it shall be therefore a witnessH8085 againstH413 youH834, lestH6435 ye denyH3584 your GodH430.

28SoH7971 JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971, everyH376 manH376 unto his inheritanceH5159.
