Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 24:25

Joshua 24:25. So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day Engaged them to make good this solemn profession, by renewing the covenant they had formerly entered into, both in the days of Moses and in his time, wherein they promised to worship God alone, and be obedient to him.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joshua 24:14

"Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah. And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose ye this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah."These two verses place the decision squarely up to Israel.
