Joshua 24:25-28

24:25 That day Joshua drew up an agreement ¹  for the people, and he established rules and regulations ²  for them in Shechem. 24:26 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. 24:27 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. ³  It will be a witness against you if ⁴  you deny your God.” 24:28 When Joshua dismissed the people, they went to their allotted portions of land. ⁵
