Joshua 24:18-24
18And Yhwh drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve Yhwh; for he is our God.
19And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Yhwh: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.1
20If ye forsake Yhwh, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
21And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Yhwh.
22And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Yhwh, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
23Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Yhwh God of Israel.
24And the people said unto Joshua, Yhwh our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
