Joshua 24:2-14
2And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 toH413 allH3605 the peopleH5971, “This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: ‘Long agoH5769 your fathersH1, including TerahH8646 the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85H1 and NahorH5152, livedH3427 beyondH5676 the EuphratesH51041 and worshipedH5647 otherH312 godsH430. 3But I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from beyondH5676 the EuphratesH5104 and ledH1980 himH853 through allH3605 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and I multipliedH7235 his descendantsH2233. I gaveH5414 him IsaacH3327, 4and to IsaacH3327 I gaveH5414 JacobH3290 and EsauH6215. I gaveH5414 EsauH6215 MountH2022 SeirH8165 to possessH3423, but JacobH3290 and his sonsH1121 went downH3381 to EgyptH4714.
5Then I sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and I afflictedH5062 the EgyptiansH4714 by whatH834 I didH6213 thereH7130, and afterwardH310 I brought you outH3318. 6When I broughtH3318 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714 and you reachedH935 the Red SeaH3220,2 the EgyptiansH4713 pursuedH7291H310 them with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 as far as the Red SeaH3220H5488. 7So your fathers cried outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068, and He putH7760 darknessH3990 betweenH996 you and the EgyptiansH4713, over whomH5921 He broughtH935 the seaH3220 and engulfed themH3680. Your very eyesH5869 sawH7200 whatH834 I didH6213 to the EgyptiansH4714. Then you livedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 for a longH7227 timeH3117.
8Later, I broughtH935 you toH413 the landH776 of the AmoritesH567 who livedH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383. They foughtH3898 against youH854, but I deliveredH5414 themH853 into your handH3027, that you should possessH3423 their landH776 when I destroyed themH8045 before youH6440. 9Then BalakH1111 sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, set outH6965 to fightH3898 against IsraelH3478. He sentH7971H7121 for BalaamH1109 sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curse youH7043, 10but I wouldH14 notH3808 listenH8085 to BalaamH1109. So he blessed you again and againH1288H853, and I deliveredH5337 youH853 from his handH3027.
11After this, you crossedH5674 the JordanH3383 and cameH935 toH413 JerichoH3405. The peopleH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, as did the AmoritesH567, PerizzitesH6522, CanaanitesH3669, HittitesH2850, GirgashitesH1622, HivitesH2340, and JebusitesH2983, and I deliveredH5414 themH853 into your handH3027. 12I sentH7971 the hornetH6880 ahead of youH6440, and it drove outH1644 the twoH8147 AmoriteH567 kingsH4428 before youH6440, but notH3808 by your own swordH2719H3808 or bowH7198. 13So I gaveH5414 you a landH776 on whichH834 you did notH3808 toilH3021 and citiesH5892 thatH834 you did notH3808 buildH1129, and now you liveH3427 in them and eatH398 from vineyardsH3754 and olive grovesH2132 thatH834 you did notH3808 plantH5193.’
14Now, thereforeH6258, fearH3372 the LORDH3068 and serveH5647 HimH853 in sincerityH8549 and truthH571; cast asideH5493 the godsH430 your fathersH1 servedH5647 beyondH5676 the EuphratesH5104 and in EgyptH4714, and serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
