24. And the people said to Josue: We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his commandments.
25. Josue therefore on that day made a covenant, and set before the people commandments and judgments in Sichem.
26. And he wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord: and he took a great stone, and set it under the oak that was in the sanctuary of the Lord.
27. And he said to all the people: Behold this stone shall be a testimony unto you, that it hath heard all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken to you: lest perhaps hereafter you will deny it, and lie to the Lord your God.
