JOSHUA 24:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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 to all the people, 'Behold, this stone shall be a witness against you, if you deal falsely with the LORD.' — The stone becomes a witness to the covenant commitment. The phrase 'against you' (ʿālekem) suggests that the stone will testify if Israel violates covenant terms; the memorial becomes an accusing witness to future apostasy.
