Genesis 2:15-17 (NIV)  15  The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16  And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17  but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Joshua 24:15, 24 (NASB) 15  "If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve: whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Exodus 24:7  Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey."

Dt. 5:27 Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then tell us whatever the LORD our God tells you. We will listen and obey."
