Joshua 24:24

24 dixitque populus ad Iosue Domino Deo nostro serviemus oboedientes praeceptis eius

Joshua 24:24 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 24:24

And the people said unto Joshua
A third time, that as by the mouth of two or three witnesses everything is confirmed, so by three testimonies of the same persons:

the Lord our God will we serve;
as they had before declared, and to which they add:

and his voice will we obey;
or his word, as the Targum, not only his word of command, but his essential Word, the Son of God.

Joshua 24:24 In-Context

22 et Iosue ad populum testes inquit vos estis quia ipsi elegeritis vobis Dominum ut serviatis ei responderuntque testes

23 nunc ergo ait auferte deos alienos de medio vestrum et inclinate corda vestra ad Dominum Deum Israhel

24 dixitque populus ad Iosue Domino Deo nostro serviemus oboedientes praeceptis eius

25 percussit igitur Iosue in die illo foedus et proposuit populo praecepta atque iudicia in Sychem

26 scripsitque omnia verba haec in volumine legis Dei et tulit lapidem pergrandem posuitque eum subter quercum quae erat in sanctuario Domini
