“But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.””
Joshua 24:15
===
The Book of Joshua might not have been written until five hundred years after events. As with the prophetic vision of Moses' writings, one doubts the exposition as being literal. The events predated standard writing forms and were part of an oral tradition.

This part of the book is where Joshua outlines a new covenant. It is a secular expression anticipating modern values. Lots of things are legal I will never choose to do. That is ok.
