Read in context

Joshua 24:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he established for them a statute and ordinance.

26 Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was near the sanctuary of the LORD.

27 And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone. It will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God.”

28 Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.

29 Some time later, Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.
