Joshua 24:2-14

2And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your fathersH1 dweltH3427 of old time beyond the RiverH5104, even TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85, and the fatherH1 of NahorH5152: and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430. 3And I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from beyond the RiverH5104, and led him throughout all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and multipliedH7235 his seedH2233, and gaveH5414 him IsaacH3327. 4And I gaveH5414 unto IsaacH3327 JacobH3290 and EsauH6215: and I gaveH5414 unto EsauH6215 mount SeirH8165, to possessH3423 it; and JacobH3290 and his children wentH3381 downH3381 into EgyptH4714. 5And I sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and I plagued EgyptH4714, according to that which I did in the midstH7130 thereof: and afterward I broughtH3318 you out. 6And I broughtH935 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714: and ye cameH935 unto the seaH3220; and the Egyptians pursuedH7291 after your fathersH1 with chariotsH7393 and with horsemenH6571 unto the Red SeaH3220. 7And when they criedH6817 out unto Jehovah, he putH7760 darkness between you and the Egyptians, and broughtH935 the seaH3220 upon them, and coveredH3680 them; and your eyesH5869 sawH7200 what I did in EgyptH4714: and ye dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 manyH7227 daysH3117. 8And I broughtH935 you into the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, that dweltH3427 beyond the JordanH3383: and they foughtH3898 with you; and I gaveH5414 them into your handH3027, and ye possessedH3423 their landH776; and I destroyedH8045 them from before you. 9Then BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, aroseH6965 and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478: and he sentH7971 and calledH7121 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you; 10but I wouldH14 not hearken unto BalaamH1109; therefore he blessedH1288 you still: so I deliveredH5337 you out of his handH3027. 11And ye wentH935 over the JordanH3383, and cameH935 unto JerichoH3405: and the men of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, the AmoriteH567, and the PerizziteH6522, and the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the GirgashiteH1622, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983; and I delivered them into your handH3027. 12And I sentH7971 the hornetH6880 before you, which droveH1644 them out from before you, even the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567; not with thy swordH2719, nor with thy bowH7198. 13And I gaveH5414 you a landH776 whereon thou hadst not laboredH3021, and citiesH5892 which ye builtH1129 not, and ye dwellH3427 therein; of vineyardsH3754 and oliveyards which ye plantedH5193 not do ye eatH398.

14NowH6258 thereforeH6258 fearH3372 Jehovah, and serveH5647 him in sincerity and in truthH571; and put awayH5493 the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 beyond the RiverH5104, and in EgyptH4714; and serveH5647 ye Jehovah.
