Historians say that Joshua 24 follows the format of a Hittite suzerainty treaty. The cultures of the Ancient Near East had many common elements, so this isn't surprising. Israel had some very distinct differences, though, not the least of which was the form of government that YHWH instituted.
In v1, "all the tribes of Israel" means representatives from all the tribes, not every member of every tribe. See also 23:2. This verse describes five levels of government in ancient Israel:
1) THE Judge (Joshua)
2) Elders (70 or 12?)
3) Clan or Tribal Patriarchs
4) Judges (for each city & town)
5) Officers (militia commanders in each city & town)
The priesthood is curiously missing. Perhaps because it is a parallel government without direct authority except at the Temple and at the highest court of appeals.

From this week’s Torah portion:
Turn it over, then turn it over again…
From this week’s Torah portion:
“And it is YHWH who is going before you, He Himself is with you. He does not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be discouraged.”
What more could anyone ask or hope for than this?
The Immersion of andrew
Please welcome our new brother Andrew to the Commonwealth of Yisrael and the body of Messiah!
We at Sabbath Keepers Fellowship were privileged to participate in and witness the immersion of yet another of our dear brothers on 8/31/2024 here in east Texas. We consider ourselves most blessed to have been a part of this life-changing event.
Blessed art Thou, YHWH our Mighty One, King of the universe, who sets us apart in His commandments, and commands us to immerse the sojouner to Thee, in the name of Yehoshua Hamashiach Thy son!
Our Elohym, and Elohym of our fathers, preserve this son of yours to Thy Kingdom, and let his name be known as Andrew among your people Yisrael!
Blessed art Thou, YHWH our Mighty One, King of the Universe, who has kept us in life and preserved us, and has enabled us to reach this season!
All praise and esteem to YHWH, our loving Father in heaven, who has brought this new soul into His Kingdom. Blessed be He, and blessed be the name of our Messiah Yehoshua whose sacrifice for our sake made it possible!
