Joshua 24:1-15

1Then 1JoshuaH3091 gatheredH622 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 at ShechemH7927, and calledH7121 for the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, their headsH7218, their judgesH8199, and their officersH7860; and they presentedH3320 themselves beforeH6440 GodH430. 2JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to allH3605 the peopleH5971, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: ‘From ancientH5769 timesH5769 your fathersH1 livedH3427 beyondH5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104, namely, 2TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85 and the fatherH1 of NahorH5152, and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430. 3Then 3I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from beyondH4480H5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104 and ledH1980 him through allH3605 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and 4multipliedH7235 his 5descendantsH2233 and gaveH5414 him 6IsaacH3327. 4To IsaacH3327 I gaveH5414 7JacobH3290 and EsauH6215, and 8to EsauH6215 I gaveH5414 MountH2022 SeirH8165, to possessH3423 it; but 9JacobH3290 and his sonsH1121 wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714. 5Then 10I sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and I plaguedH5062 EgyptH4714 11by whatH834 I didH6213 in its midstH7130; and afterwardH310 I broughtH3318 you outH3318. 6So I broughtH3318 your fathersH1 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and 12you cameH935 to the seaH3220; and EgyptH4714 pursuedH7291 your fathersH1 with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 to the 13RedH5488 SeaH3220. 7But when they criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068, He putH7760 darknessH3990 betweenH996 you and the EgyptiansH4713, and broughtH935 the seaH3220 upon them and coveredH3680 them; and your own eyesH5869 sawH7200 whatH834 I didH6213 in EgyptH4714. And 14you livedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 for a longH7227 timeH3117. 8Then 15I broughtH935 you into the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, who livedH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, and they foughtH3898 with you; but I handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to you, and you tookH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776 when I eliminatedH8045 them beforeH6440 you. 9Then 16BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, roseH6965 upH6965 and foughtH3898 against IsraelH3478, and he sentH7971 messengers and summonedH7121 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you. 10But I 17wasH14 not willingH14 to listenH8085 to BalaamH1109. So he had to blessH1288 you, and I savedH5337 you from his handH3027. 1118You crossedH5674 the JordanH3383 and cameH935 to JerichoH3405; and the citizensH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, and 19the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the GirgashiteH1622, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983. Therefore 20I handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to you. 12Then I 21sentH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 you and it 22droveH1644 outH1644 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 from you--23not by your swordH2719 nor your bowH7198. 13And 24I gaveH5414 you a landH776 on whichH834 you had not laboredH3021, and citiesH5892 whichH834 you had not builtH1129, and you have livedH3427 in them; you are eatingH398 of vineyardsH3754 and oliveH2132 grovesH2132 whichH834 you did not plantH5193.’

14“NowH6258, therefore, 2526fearH3372 the LordH3068 and serveH5647 Him in sincerityH8549 and 27truthH571; and doH5493 awayH5493 with the godsH430 whichH834 your fathersH1 servedH5647 beyondH5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104 and in EgyptH4714, and serveH5647 the LordH3068. 15But ifH518 it is disagreeableH7451 in your sightH5869 to serveH5647 the LordH3068, chooseH977 for yourselves todayH3117 whomH4310 you will serveH5647: whetherH518 the godsH430 whichH834 your fathersH1 servedH5647, whichH834 were beyondH5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104, or 28the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567 in whoseH834 landH776 you are livingH3427; but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LordH3068.”
