Contextual Overview

¹⁵and if [it is] wrong in your eyes to serve YHWH—choose for yourselves today whom you serve—whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling; but me and my house—we serve YHWH." ¹⁶And the people answer and say, "Far be it from us to forsake YHWH, to serve other gods; ¹⁷for our God YHWH [is] He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who has done these great signs before our eyes, and keeps us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed; ¹⁸and YHWH casts out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also serve YHWH, for He [is] our God." ¹⁹And Joshua says to the people, "You are not able to serve YHWH, for He [is] a most holy God; He [is] a zealous God; He does not bear with your transgression and with your sins. ²⁰When you forsake YHWH, and have served gods of a stranger, then He has turned back and done harm to you, and consumed you, after that He has done good to you." ²¹And the people say to Joshua, "No, but we serve YHWH!" ²²And Joshua says to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen YHWH for yourselves, to serve Him," and they say, "Witnesses!" ²³"And now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart to YHWH, God of Israel." ²⁴And the people say to Joshua, "We serve our God YHWH, and we listen to His voice."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the people said unto Joshua,.... A third time, that as by the mouth of two or three witnesses everything is confirmed, so by three testimonies of the same persons:

the Lord our God will we serve; as they had before declared, and to which they add:
