20When ye forsake Jehovah, and have served gods of a stranger, then He hath turned back and done evil to you, and consumed you, after that He hath done good to you.`
21And the people saith unto Joshua, `No, but Jehovah we do serve.`
22And Joshua saith unto the people, `Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, `Witnesses!`)
23and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.`
24And the people say unto Joshua, `Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.`
25And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day, and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem.
26And Joshua writeth these words in the Book of the Law of God, and taketh a great stone, and raiseth it up there under the oak which [is] in the sanctuary of Jehovah.
