Joshua 24:23

²³Now therefore put away, [said he], the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.

In Joshua 24, Joshua gathers the tribes of Israel at Shechem for a final covenant renewal ceremony, reminding them of God's faithfulness from Abraham to their present day. He challenges them to choose whom they will serve—the Lord or the gods of their ancestors and neighbors. The people affirm their commitment to the Lord, leading Joshua to establish a covenant, record it, and set up a stone as a witness. The chapter concludes with the deaths of Joshua and Eleazar, marking the end of an era of strong, unified leadership.
