join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath to follow the law of God given through God’s servant Moses and to carefully obey all the commands, ordinances, and statutes of Yahweh our Lord.We will not give our daughters in marriage to the surrounding peoples and will not take their daughters as wives for our sons.When the surrounding peoples bring merchandise or any kind of grain to sell on the Sabbath day, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or a holy day. We will also leave the land uncultivated in the seventh year and will cancel every debt.We will impose the following commands on ourselves: To give an eighth of an ounce of silver yearly for the service of the house of our God:the bread displayed before the Lord, the daily grain offering, the regular burnt offering, the Sabbath and New Moon offerings, the appointed festivals, the holy things, the sin offerings to atone for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.We have cast lots among the priests, Levites, and people for the donation of wood by our ancestral houses at the appointed times each year. They are to bring the wood to our God’s house to burn on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is written in the law.We will bring the firstfruits of our land and of every fruit tree to the Lord’s house year by year.We will also bring the firstborn of our sons and our livestock, as prescribed by the law, and will bring the firstborn of our herds and flocks to the house of our God, to the priests who serve in our God’s house.We will bring a loaf from our first batch of dough to the priests at the storerooms of the house of our God. We will also bring the firstfruits of our grain offerings, of every fruit tree, and of the new wine and oil. A tenth of our land’s produce belongs to the Levites, for the Levites are to collect the one-tenth offering in all our agricultural towns.A priest of Aaronic descent must accompany the Levites when they collect the tenth, and the Levites must take a tenth of this offering to the storerooms of the treasury in the house of our God.For the Israelites and the Levites are to bring the contributions of grain, new wine, and oil to the storerooms where the articles of the sanctuary are kept and where the priests who minister are, along with the gatekeepers and singers. We will not neglect the house of our God.

Today you have affirmed that the Lord is your God and that you will walk in His ways, keep His statutes, commands, and ordinances, and obey Him.And today the Lord has affirmed that you are His special people as He promised you, that you are to keep all His commands,that He will elevate you to praise, fame, and glory above all the nations He has made, and that you will be a holy people to the Lord your God as He promised.”

They responded:“ We will return these things and require nothing more from them. We will do as you say.” So I summoned the priests and made everyone take an oath to do this.I also shook the folds of my robe and said,“ May God likewise shake from his house and property everyone who doesn’t keep this promise. May he be shaken out and have nothing!” The whole assembly said,“ Amen,” and they praised the Lord. Then the people did as they had promised.

They took an oath to the Lord in a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with rams’ horns.

These are the words of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant He had made with them at Horeb.Moses summoned all Israel and said to them,“ You have seen with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his entire land.You saw with your own eyes the great trials and those great signs and wonders.Yet to this day the Lord has not given you a mind to understand, eyes to see, or ears to hear.I led you 40 years in the wilderness; your clothes and the sandals on your feet did not wear out;you did not eat bread or drink wine or beer— so that you might know that I am Yahweh your God.When you reached this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us in battle, but we defeated them.We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh.Therefore, observe the words of this covenant and follow them, so that you will succeed in everything you do.“ All of you are standing today before the Lord your God— your leaders, tribes, elders, officials, all the men of Israel,your children, your wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your wood and draw your water—so that you may enter into the covenant of the Lord your God, which He is making with you today, so that you may enter into His oathand so that He may establish you today as His people and He may be your God as He promised you and as He swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.I am making this covenant and this oath not only with you,but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God and with those who are not here today.

“ No!” the people answered Joshua.“ We will worship the Lord.”Joshua then told the people,“ You are witnesses against yourselves that you yourselves have chosen to worship Yahweh.”“ We are witnesses,” they said.“ Then get rid of the foreign gods that are among you and offer your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”So the people said to Joshua,“ We will worship the Lord our God and obey Him.”On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people at Shechem and established a statute and ordinance for them.
