The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God, and we will listen to his voice.”
Joshua 24:24 in context
Joshua 24:21–27
The people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the LORD yourselves, to serve him.”
They said, “We are witnesses.”
“Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel.”
The people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God, and we will listen to his voice.”
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all the LORD’s words which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.”
