Joshua 24:22-33 Then Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord to serve him.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ²² Then Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord to serve him. ²³ Now therefore put away the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and hearken to his voice. ²⁵ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and gave it to them as a law, and a solemn decision at Selo, before the tabernacle of the Lord God of Israel. ²⁶ And when he had written these words in the book of the laws of God, he took a great stone, and set it up under a fir tree which was over against the Lord, ²⁷ and Joshua said to the people, Behold this stone shall be among you for a witness, that it hath heard all that were said by the Lord, for he hath this day spoken to you; and this shall be among you for a witness in the latter days, whenever you prove false to the Lord my God. ²⁸ Then Joshua dismissed the people, and they departed every one to his place; ²⁹ And after those things, Joshua the son of Nave, the servant of the Lord died at the age of a hundred and ten years; ³⁰ and they buried him in the boundaries of his inheritance, at Thamnasachar, on mount Ephraim, north of mount Gaas. There they deposited with him, in the grave in which they buried him, the stone knives with which he had circumcised the children of Israel at Galgala, as the Lord commanded them, when he had brought them out of Egypt. And there they are at this day. ³¹ and Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who out lived Joshua, and who had seen all the works of the Lord which he had done for Israel. ³² Now the children of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, the bones of Joseph, and they buried them at Sikimoi, in that portion of the field which Jacob purchased of the Amorites who dwelt at Sikimoi, for a hundred lambs, and which he gave to Joseph for an inheritance. ³³ And after these things, Eleazar son of Aaron, the chief priest, died, and was buried in Gabaar, which belonged to Phineas his son, which he had given him on mount Ephraim. At that time the children of Israel took up the ark of God, and carried it about among them. And Phineas officiated as priest in the room of his father Eleazar. And when he died, he was buried in Gabaar, which belonged to him. As for the children of Israel, they had gone to their several homes, and to their respective: cities. And when the children of Israel fell to worshipping Astarte, and Astaroth, and the gods of the nations around them, the Lord delivered them into the hands of Eglon king of Moab, and he exercised dominion over them eighteen years.
