²⁷ And Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, ^(A)this stone shall be for a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of Yahweh which He spoke ^[a]to us; thus it shall be for a witness against you, lest you deny your God.”

¹⁹ But you ^(A)have today rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and your distresses; yet you have ^[a]said, ‘No, but set a king over us!’ So now, ^(B)take your stand before Yahweh by your tribes and by your clans.”
