Yosua 18:7

18:7 But the Levites will not have an allotted portion among you, for their inheritance is to serve the Lord. ¹  Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received their allotted land ²  east of the Jordan which Moses the Lord’s servant assigned them.”

Yosua 22:29

22:29 Far be it from us to rebel against the Lord by turning back today from following after the Lord by building an altar for burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace ³  aside from the altar of the Lord our God located in front of his dwelling place!” ⁴ 

Yosua 24:14-15

24:14 Now ⁵  obey ⁶  the Lord and worship ⁷  him with integrity and loyalty. Put aside the gods your ancestors ⁸  worshiped ⁹  beyond the Euphrates ¹⁰  and in Egypt and worship ¹¹  the Lord. 24:15 If you have no desire ¹²  to worship ¹³  the Lord, choose today whom you will worship, ¹⁴  whether it be the gods whom your ancestors ¹⁵  worshiped ¹⁶  beyond the Euphrates, ¹⁷  or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family ¹⁸  will worship ¹⁹  the Lord!”
