For the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below! 2:12 So now, promise me this with an oath sworn in the Lord’s name. Because I have shown allegiance to you, show allegiance to my family. Give me a solemn pledge

So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.

Joshua 24:19-20

24:19 Joshua warned the people, “You will not keep worshiping the Lord, for he is a holy God.

It will be a witness against you if you deny your God.”
