22 And Joshua said to the people, 'You yourselves are witnesses, that you have chosen the Lord so that you may serve him.' And they answered, 'We are witnesses.'
23 'Now therefore,' he said, 'take away strange gods from among yourselves, and incline your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.'
24 And the people said to Joshua, 'We will serve the Lord our God, and we will be obedient to his precepts.'
25 Therefore, on that day, Joshua struck a covenant, and he set before the people at Shechem the precepts and the judgments.
26 He also wrote all these things in the volume of the law of the Lord. And he took a very great stone, and he stationed it under the oak that was in the Sanctuary of the Lord.
