Contextual Overview

¹⁵"If it is unacceptable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you live; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." ¹⁶The people answered, "Far be it from us to abandon (reject) the LORD to serve other gods; ¹⁷for the LORD our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did these great signs (miracles) in our sight and kept us safe all along the way that we went and among all the peoples among whom we passed. ¹⁸"The LORD drove all the peoples out from before us, even the Amorites who lived in the land. We also will serve the LORD, for He is our God." ¹⁹Then Joshua said to the people, "You will not be able to serve the LORD [if you serve any other gods], for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God [demanding what is rightfully and uniquely His]. He will not forgive your transgression [of His law] or your sins. ²⁰"If you do abandon (reject) the LORD and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume and destroy you after He has done you good." ²¹The people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve [only] the LORD." ²²Joshua then said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves the LORD, to serve Him." And they said, "We are witnesses." ²³"Now then, remove the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your hearts toward the LORD, the God of Israel." ²⁴The people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God and we will listen to and obey His voice."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance. Dismissed them, and took his final leave and farewell of them, dying soon after; upon which they returned to the possessions and inheritances assigned by lot to the several tribes, of which they were the heads and princes.
