21. And the people said to Josue: No, it shall not be so as thou sayest, but we will serve the Lord.
22. And Josue said to the people: You are witnesses, that you yourselves have chosen you the Lord to serve him. And they answered: We are witnesses.
23. Now therefore, said he, put away strange gods from among you, and incline your hearts to the Lord the God of Israel.
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.
