~ Some of Joshua's Last Words & Actions ~

"Now fear the Lord and serve Him with all faithfulness.
Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped
beyond the River and in Egypt,
and serve the Lord.
But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you,
then choose for ourselves this day whom you will serve,
whether the gods
your forefathers served beyond the River,
or the gods of the Amorites,
in whose land you are living.
But as for me and my household,
we will serve the Lord."

. . . On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people,
and there at Shechem
he drew up for them decrees and laws.
And 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
near the holy place of the Lord.

"See!" he said to all the people.
"This stone will be a witness against us.
It has heard all the words the Lord has said to us.
It will be a witness against you
if you are untrue to your God."

(Joshua 24:14-15, 25-27)
