Joshua 24:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 So Joshua [a]made a covenant with the people the same day, and gave them an ordinance and law in Shechem.
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the Law of God and took a great stone, and pitched it there under an [b]oak that was in the Sanctuary of the Lord.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us: for it [c]hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake with us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God.

Joshua 24:25-27
New International Version
25 On that day Joshua made a covenant(A) for the people, and there at Shechem(B) he reaffirmed for them decrees and laws.(C) 26 And Joshua recorded(D) these things in the Book of the Law of God.(E) Then he took a large stone(F) and set it up there under the oak(G) near the holy place of the Lord.
27 “See!” he said to all the people. “This stone(H) will be a witness(I) 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(J) to your God.”(K)
