The people were unanimous in their response: “Everything God says, we will do.” Moses took the people’s answer back to God. * * *
So Moses went to the people and told them everything God had said—all the rules and regulations. They all answered in unison: “Everything God said, we’ll do.”

But the people told Joshua: “No! No! We worship God!”
The people answered Joshua, “We will worship God. What he says, we’ll do.”
