Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 24:14-28.


Joshua 24:26

_ _ Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God — registered the engagements of that solemn covenant in the book of sacred history.

_ _ took a great stone — according to the usage of ancient times to erect stone pillars as monuments of public transactions.

_ _ set it up there under an oak — or terebinth, in all likelihood, the same as that at the root of which Jacob buried the idols and charms found in his family.

_ _ that was by the sanctuary of the Lord — either the spot where the ark had stood, or else the place around, so called from that religious meeting, as Jacob named Beth-el the house of God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 24:15-28.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 24:26

These words — That is, this covenant or agreement of the people with the Lord. In the book — That is, in the volume which was kept in the ark, Deuteronomy 31:9, Deuteronomy 31:26, whence it was taken and put into this book of Joshua: this he did for the perpetual remembrance of this great and solemn action, to lay the greater obligation upon the people to be true to their engagement; and as a witness for God, against the people, if afterward he punished them for their defection from God, to whom they had so solemnly and freely obliged themselves. Set it up — As a witness and monument of this great transaction, according to the custom of those ancient times. Possibly this agreement was written upon this stone, as was then usual. By the sanctuary — That is, near the place where the ark and tabernacle then were; for tho' they were forbidden to plant a grove of trees near unto the altar, as the Gentiles did, yet they might for a time set up an altar, or the ark, near a great tree which had been planted there before.
