And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. ~ Joshua 24:22 24:2-27. The essential trustworthiness of the scriptural account has been reinforced in recent years by the suggestion that as to its literary form the chapter bears the marks of a second millennium B.C. treaty between a lord and his vassal: (1) preamble (v. 2); (2) historical prologue (vv. 2-3); (3) covenant stipulations (vv. 14-15); (4) covenant ratification (vv. 16-25); (5) covenant deposition (v. 26); (6) covenantal witnesses (v. 27); and (7) covenant sanctions (implicit in vv. 19-20).
