and they presented3320 themselves before6440 God0430. 24:2 And Joshua3091 said0559 unto all the people5971, Thus saith0559 the LORD3068 God0430 of Israel3478, Your fathers0001 dwelt3427 on the other side5676 of the flood5104 in old time5769, {even} Terah8646, the father0001 of Abraham0085, and the father0001 of Nachor5152: and they served5647 other0312 gods0430. 24:3 And I took3947 your father0001 Abraham0085 from the other side5676 of the flood5104, and led3212 him throughout all the land0776 of Canaan3667, and multiplied7235 his seed2233, and gave5414 him Isaac3327. 24:4 And I gave5414 unto Isaac3327 Jacob3290 and Esau6215: and I gave5414 unto Esau6215 mount2022 Seir8165, to possess3423 it; but Jacob3290 and his children1121 went down3381 into Egypt4714. 24:5 I sent7971 Moses4872 also and Aaron0175, and I plagued5062 Egypt4714, according to that which0834 I did6213 among7130 them: and afterward0310 I brought you out3318. 24:6 And I brought3318 your fathers0001 out of Egypt4714: and ye came0935 unto the sea3220; and the Egyptians4714 pursued7291 after0310 your fathers0001 with chariots7393 and horsemen6571 unto the Red5488 sea3220. 24:7 And when they cried6817 unto the LORD3068, he put7760 darkness3990 between you and the Egyptians4713, and brought0935 the sea3220 upon them, and covered3680 them; and your eyes5869 have seen7200 what I have done6213 in Egypt4714: and ye dwelt3427 in the wilderness4057 a long7227 season3117. 24:8 And I brought0935 you into the land0776 of the Amorites0567, which dwelt3427 on the other side5676 Jordan3383; and they fought3898 with you: and I gave5414 them into your hand3027, that ye might possess3423 their land0776; and I destroyed8045 them from before6440 you. 24:9 Then Balak1111 the son1121 of Zippor6834, king4428 of Moab4124, arose6965 and warred3898 against Israel3478, and sent7971 and called7121 Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 to curse7043 you: 24:10 But I would0014 not hearken8085 unto Balaam1109; therefore he blessed1288 you still1288: so I delivered5337 you out of his hand3027. 24:11 And ye went over5674 Jordan3383, and came0935 unto Jericho3405: and the men1167 of Jericho3405 fought3898 against you, the Amorites0567, and the Perizzites6522, and the Canaanites3669, and the Hittites2850, and the Girgashites1622, the Hivites2340, and the Jebusites2983; and I delivered5414 them into your hand3027. 24:12 And I sent7971 the hornet6880 before6440 you, which drave them out1644 from before6440 you, {even} the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites0567; {but} not with thy sword2719, nor with thy bow7198. 24:13 And I have given5414 you a land0776 for which ye did not labour3021, and cities5892 which ye built1129 not, and ye dwell3427 in them; of the vineyards3754 and oliveyards2132 which ye planted5193 not do ye eat0398. 24:14 Now therefore fear3372 the LORD3068, and serve5647 him in sincerity8549 and in truth0571: and put away5493 the gods0430 which your fathers0001 served5647 on the other side5676 of the flood5104, and in Egypt4714; and serve5647 ye the LORD3068. 24:15 And if it seem evil7489 unto you4310 to serve5647 the LORD3068, choose0977 you this day3117 whom5869 ye will serve5647; whether the gods0430 which your fathers0001 served5647 that {were} on the other side5676 of the flood5104, or the gods0430 of the Amorites0567, in whose land0776 ye dwell3427: but as for me and my house1004, we will serve5647 the LORD3068. 24:16 And the people5971 answered6030 and said0559, God forbid2486 that we should forsake5800 the LORD3068, to serve5647 other0312 gods0430; 24:17 For the LORD3068 our God0430, he {it is} that brought us up5927 and our fathers0001 out of the land0776 of Egypt4714, from the house1004 of bondage5650, and which did6213 those great1419 signs0226 in our sight5869, and preserved8104 us in all the way1870 wherein we went1980, and among all the people5971 through7130 whom we passed5674: 24:18 And the LORD3068 drave out1644 from before6440 us all the people5971, even the Amorites0567 which dwelt3427 in the land0776: {therefore} will we also serve5647 the LORD3068; for he {is} our God0430. 24:19 And Joshua3091 said0559 unto the people5971, Ye cannot3201 serve5647 the LORD3068: for he {is} an holy6918 God0430; he {is} a jealous7072 God0410; he will not forgive5375 your transgressions6588 nor your sins2403. 24:20 If ye forsake5800 the LORD3068, and serve5647 strange5236 gods0430, then he will turn7725 and do you hurt7489, and consume3615 you, after0310 that he hath done you good3190. 24:21 And the people5971 said0559 unto Joshua3091, Nay; but we will serve5647 the LORD3068. 24:22 And Joshua3091 said0559 unto the people5971, Ye {are} witnesses5707 against yourselves that ye have chosen0977 you the LORD3068, to serve5647 him. And they said0559, {We are} witnesses5707. 24:23 Now therefore put away5493, {said he}, the strange5236 gods0430 which {are} among7130 you, and incline5186 your heart3824 unto the LORD3068 God0430 of Israel3478. 24:24 And the people5971 said0559 unto Joshua3091, The LORD3068 our God0430 will we serve5647, and his voice6963 will we obey8085. 24:25 So Joshua3091 made3772 a covenant1285 with the people5971 that day3117, and set7760 them a statute2706 and an ordinance4941 in Shechem7927. 24:26 And Joshua3091 wrote3789 these words1697 in the book5612 of the law8451 of God0430, and took3947 a great1419 stone0068, and set it up6965 there under an oak0427, that {was} by the sanctuary4720 of the LORD3068. 24:27 And Joshua3091 said0559 unto all the people5971, Behold, this stone0068 shall be a witness5713 unto us; for it hath heard8085 all the words0561 of the LORD3068 which he spake1696 unto us: it shall be therefore a witness5713 unto you, lest ye deny3584 your God0430. 24:28 So Joshua3091 let the people5971 depart7971, every man0376 unto his inheritance5159. 24:29 And it came to pass after0310 these things1697, that Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126, the servant5650 of the LORD3068, died4191, {being} an hundred3967 and ten6235 years8141 old1121. 24:30 And they buried6912 him in the border1366 of his inheritance5159 in Timnathserah8556, which {is} in mount2022 Ephraim0669, on the north side6828 of the hill2022 of Gaash1608. 24:31 And Israel3478 served5647 the LORD3068 all the days3117 of Joshua3091, and all the days3117 of the elders2205 that overlived0748-3117-0310 Joshua3091, and which had known3045 all the works4639 of the LORD3068, that he had done6213 for Israel3478. 24:32 And the bones6106 of Joseph3130, which the children1121 of Israel3478 brought up5927 out of Egypt4714, buried6912 they in Shechem7927, in a parcel2513 of ground7704 which Jacob3290 bought7069 of the sons1121 of Hamor2544 the father0001 of Shechem7927 for an hundred3967 pieces of silver7192: and it became the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Joseph3130. 24:33 And Eleazar0499 the son1121 of Aaron0175 died4191; and they buried6912 him in a hill1389 {that pertained to} Phinehas6372 his son1121, which was given5414 him in mount2022 Ephraim0669.
