The Covenant Renewed at Sheckem


Now therefore fear The LORD, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye The LORD. And if it seem evil unto you to serve The LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve The LORD.

If ye forsake The LORD, and serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that He hath done you good.

And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of The LORD. And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of The LORD which He spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.

Joshua 24:14-16, 20, 26-27
