Joshua24:27
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 there for a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
It shall be as sure a Witness against you, as if it had heard. This is a common Figure, called Prosopopoeia, whereby the sense of hearing is oft ascribed to the Heavens and the Earth, and other senseless creatures, as Deut. 32. 1. Isa. 1. 2. Ier. 2. 12.
