Yehoshua 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.

Yehoshua 24:24 In-Context

22 And Yehoshua said unto HaAm, Ye are edim against yourselves that ye have chosen for you Hashem, to serve Him. And they said, We are edim.

23 Now therefore put away, said he, the elohei hanechar which are among you, and yield your levav unto Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

24 And HaAm said unto Yehoshua, Hashem Eloheinu will we serve, and His voice will we obey.

25 So Yehoshua made a Brit with HaAm that day, and set them a chok and a mishpat at Shechem.

26 And Yehoshua wrote these words in the Sefer Torah Elohim, and took an Even Gedolah, and set it up there under an oak, that was near the Mikdash Hashem.
