Joshua 24:2-14
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, 1TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85 and the fatherH1 of NahorH5152, and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430. 3Then 2I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from beyondH4480H5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104 and ledH1980 him through allH3605 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and 3multipliedH7235 his 4descendantsH2233 and gaveH5414 him 5IsaacH3327. 4To IsaacH3327 I gaveH5414 6JacobH3290 and EsauH6215, and 7to EsauH6215 I gaveH5414 MountH2022 SeirH8165, to possessH3423 it; but 8JacobH3290 and his sonsH1121 wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714. 5Then 9I sentH7971 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, and I plaguedH5062 EgyptH4714 10by whatH834 I didH6213 in its midstH7130; and afterwardH310 I broughtH3318 you outH3318. 6So I broughtH3318 your fathersH1 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and 11you cameH935 to the seaH3220; and EgyptH4714 pursuedH7291 your fathersH1 with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 to the 12RedH5488 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 13you livedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 for a longH7227 timeH3117. 8Then 14I 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 15BalakH1111 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 16wasH14 not willingH14 to listenH8085 to BalaamH1109. So he had to blessH1288 you, and I savedH5337 you from his handH3027. 1117You crossedH5674 the JordanH3383 and cameH935 to JerichoH3405; and the citizensH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, and 18the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the GirgashiteH1622, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983. Therefore 19I handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to you. 12Then I 20sentH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 you and it 21droveH1644 outH1644 the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 from you--22not by your swordH2719 nor your bowH7198. 13And 23I 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, 2425fearH3372 the LordH3068 and serveH5647 Him in sincerityH8549 and 26truthH571; and doH5493 awayH5493 with the godsH430 whichH834 your fathersH1 servedH5647 beyondH5676 the Euphrates RiverH5104 and in EgyptH4714, and serveH5647 the LordH3068.
