25 So Joshua made a covenant for the people that day, and there at Shechem he gave them laws and rules to follow.
26 Joshua wrote these commands in the book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up under the oak tree in the Lord's sanctuary.
27 He said to all the people, “This stone will be our witness. It has heard all the words that the Lord has spoken to us. So it will be a witness against you, to keep you from rebelling against your God.”
28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and they all returned to their own part of the land.
29 After that, the Lord's servant Joshua son of Nun died at the age of 110.
30 They buried him on his own land at Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.
31 As long as Joshua lived, the people of Israel served the Lord, and after his death they continued to do so as long as those leaders were alive who had seen for themselves everything that the Lord had done for Israel.
