JOS-24:1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem,
and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and
for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented
themselves before God.
JOS-24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the
LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the
flood in old time, [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the
father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
JOS-24:3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of
the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and
multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
JOS-24:4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto
Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went
down into Egypt.
JOS-24:5 I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt,
according to that which I did among them: and afterward I
brought you out.
JOS-24:6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came
unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with
chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
JOS-24:7 And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness
between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them,
and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in
Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
JOS-24:8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which
dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I
gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and
I destroyed them from before you.
JOS-24:9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and
warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of
Beor to curse you:
JOS-24:10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he
blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
JOS-24:11 And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and
the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the
Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered
them into your hand.
JOS-24:12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out
from before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not
with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
JOS-24:13 And I have given you a land for which ye did not
labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of
the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
JOS-24:14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in
sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers
served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve
ye the LORD.
JOS-24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose
you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your
fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or
the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me
and my house, we will serve the LORD.
JOS-24:16 And the people answered and said, God forbid that we
should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
JOS-24:17 For the LORD our God, he [it is] that brought us up
and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and
preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the
people through whom we passed:
JOS-24:18 And the LORD drave out from before us all the people,
even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we
also serve the LORD; for he [is] our God.
JOS-24:19 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the
LORD: for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will
not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
