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.
