The book of Joshua concludes by recording the second covenant renewal ceremony at Shiloh.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement is True.

In the Book of Joshua, particularly in Chapter 24, a significant event occurs where Joshua gathers the tribes of Israel at Shechem. During this assembly, he reviews Israel's history and their covenant relationship with God. This culminates in a renewal of the covenant, where the people of Israel affirm their commitment to serve the Lord and reject other gods.

Shiloh was an important religious center during this period, known for housing the Tabernacle where the Israelite community worshiped. Although the specific covenant renewal ceremony happens at Shechem, Shiloh is often associated with key events in Israel's early settlement in the Promised Land, including worship and covenant affirmations. However, the last covenant renewal recorded by Joshua is indeed at Shechem, which can confuse in the broader narrative of Israelite worship and covenant keeping that Shiloh represents.

In conclusion, while the specific renewal in Joshua 24 occurs at Shechem, Shiloh is prominently featured in the broader context of covenant renewal throughout Israel's early history. Hence, the statement's reference to the broader context of covenant actions involving Shiloh can be considered true within that interpretative frame.
