Joshua 24:27
And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God. (Joshua 24:27)
A witness.
Stone is enduring. Engraving upon it remains indefinitely as a silent witness, after the engravers have died, to succeeding generations.
