Josva 24,26

24 Og folket sa til Josva: «Vi vil tjene Herren vår Gud og lytte til hans røst.»

25 Den dagen opprettet Josva en pakt for folket, og der i Sikem stadfestet han for dem lover og forskrifter.

Og Josva skrev disse tingene ned i Guds lovbok. Så tok han en stor stein og satte den opp der under eiken nær Herrens helligdom.

27 «Se!» sa han til hele folket. «Denne steinen skal være et vitne mot oss. Den har hørt alle de ordene Herren har sagt til oss. Den skal vitne mot dere hvis dere er utro mot deres Gud.»

28 Så sendte Josva folket bort, hver til sin egen arv.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
