23 "So now put aside the foreign gods that are among you. Focus your hearts on the Lord, the God of Israel."
24 The people said to Joshua, "We will serve the Lord our God and will obey him."
25 On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people and established just rule for them at Shechem.
26 Joshua wrote these words in God’s Instruction scroll. Then he took a large stone and put it up there under the oak in the sanctuary of the Lord.
27 Joshua said to all the people, "This stone will serve here as a witness against us, because it has heard all the Lord’s words that he spoke to us. It will serve as a witness against you in case you aren’t true to your God."
28 Then Joshua sent the people away to each one’s legacy.
29 After these events, Joshua, Nun’s son, the Lord’s servant, died. He was 110.
