23. Joshua said, “Now put aside the foreign gods that are among you and submit to the Lord God of Israel.”
24. The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and obey him.”
25. That day Joshua drew up an agreement for the people, and he established rules and regulations for them in Shechem.
26. Joshua 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.
27. Joshua 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.”
28. When Joshua dismissed the people, they went to their allotted portions of land.
