And [ch. 4:3; Gen. 28:18] he took a large stone and set it up there Gen. 35:4; Judg. 9:6under the terebinth that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. 27And Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, ch. 22:27, 28, 34; Gen. 31:48, 52; Deut. 31:19, 21, 26 this stone shall be a witness against us, for [Deut. 32:1]it has heard all the words of the Lord that he spoke to us. Therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God.” 28So Joshua Judg. 2:6sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
