Tedy rzekł Jozue do wszytkiego ludu: Oto kamień ten będzie nam świadectwem, abowiem on słyszał wszytki słowa Pańskie, które mówił z nami i będzie przeciwko wam świadectwem, byście snadź nie skłamali przeciw Panu, Bogu waszemu.
Tedy rzekł Jozue do wszystkiego ludu: Oto kamień ten będzie nam świadectwem; albowiem on słyszał wszystkie słowa Pańskie, które mówił z nami i będzie przeciwko wam na świadectwo, byście snać nie skłamali przeciwko Bogu waszemu.
i powiedział do całego ludu: Ten oto kamień będzie nam na świadka, bo słyszał wszystkie słowa PANA, w których przemówił On do nas. Kamień ten będzie też świadczył przeciw wam, jeśli nie dochowacie wierności waszemu Bogu.
Nadto Jezus, syn Nuna, powiedział do całego ludu: Oto ten kamień będzie świadkiem przeciwko nam, bowiem on słyszał te wszystkie słowa WIEKUISTEGO, które z nami mówił. Dlatego on będzie świadkiem przeciwko wam, abyście się nie wyparli waszego Boga.
Tedy rzekł Jozue do wszystkiego ludu: Oto kamień ten będzie nam świadectwem; albowiem on słyszał wszystkie słowa Pańskie, które mówił z nami i będzie przeciwko wam na świadectwo, byście snać nie skłamali przeciwko Bogu waszemu.
Wtedy Jozue rzekł do całego ludu: Oto ten kamień będzie świadkiem przeciwko nam, gdyż słyszał wszystkie słowa Pana, którymi On do nas przemówił; będzie też świadkiem przeciwko wam, abyście się nie zaparli Boga waszego.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
A curious coincidence of circumstances is related by Livy, the Roman historian: he writes that "when three ambassadors were sent from Rome to complain of the perfidious conduct of the Aqui, the General informed them, that they might deliver their message to an oak which shaded his tent." On this one of the ambassadors turning away, said, "This venerable oak, and all the gods, shall know that you have violated the peace; they shall now hear our complaints; and may they also soon be witnesses, when we revenge with our arms the violation of divine and human rights." It is worthy of remark that Joshua merely set up a pillar under an oak - the one, perhaps, to protect the other; while the General directed the ambassadors to address the oak, perhaps with an idolatrous feeling that they were addressing one of the gods, who would aid his cause; while the Roman ambassadors caught the feeling, and really invoked the aid of the oak and the gods. Joshua 22:27, Joshua 22:28, Joshua 22:34, Genesis 31:44-52, Deuteronomy 4:26, Deuteronomy 30:19, Deuteronomy 31:19, Deuteronomy 31:21, Deuteronomy 31:26, 1 Samuel 7:12

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joshua said unto all the people,.... The chief of them now gathered together, and who represented the whole body:
behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; of the covenant now made, and the agreement entered into, as the heap of stones were between Jacob and Laban, Genesis 31:45;
for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us; this is said by a figure called "prosopopaeia", frequent in Scripture, by which inanimate creatures are represented as hearing, seeing, and speaking, and may signify, that should the Israelites break this covenant, and disobey the commands of the Lord they had promised to keep, they would be as stupid and senseless as this stone, or more so, which would rise in judgment against them. Nachmanides d a Jewish commentator, interprets this stone of the Messiah, the same as in
Genesis 49:24;
it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God; for a memorial and testimony to prevent them from going into atheism, a denying of the true God, or into apostasy from him, and into idolatry and false worship. The Targum of which is,
"behold, this stone shall be to us as the two tables of stone of the covenant, for we made it for a testimony; for the words which are written upon it are the sum of all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us, and it shall be unto you for a memorial, and for a testimony, lest ye lie before the Lord.''
d Apud Masium in loc.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 24:27. This stone - hath heard all the words — That is, the stone itself, from its permanency, shall be in all succeeding ages as competent and as substantial a witness as one who had been present at the transaction, and heard all the words which on both sides were spoken on the occasion.
