 Joshua makes a covenant with God.
Joshua 25:25-27
Note: The picture caption incorrectly cites Joshua 24:25-27.


So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day,and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.  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. (KJV)
