Joshua 24:26,27 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

There is somewhat truly interesting in the ancient custom of setting up tokens of remembrance. Samuel's Ebenezer and Jacob ' s pillar, not to mention many others, are precious evidences of the kind. 1 Samuel 7:12; Genesis 28:18. Reader, have you none of this kind in your life? Have there been no Bethel visits from Jesus to your soul; no marks, no stones of help set up by you to say, Here in this place, and upon such occasions, my God manifested himself to me otherwise than he doeth to the world! John 14:22-23. Was not the sanctuary the ark of the divine presence? And if so, was it not a sweet type of the presence of the ever blessed Jesus?. Matthew 28:20; Matthew 28:20.

Joshua 24:26-27

26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.

27 And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
