Joshua 24:15-28

And if it seem evil
<07489> (8804)
unto you
<04310>
to serve
<05647> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_,
choose
<0977> (8798)
you this day
<03117>
whom
<05869>
ye will serve
<05647> (8799)_;
whether the gods
<0430>
which your fathers
<01>
served
<05647> (8804)
that [were] on the other side
<05676>
of the flood
<05104>_,
or the gods
<0430>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
in whose land
<0776>
ye dwell
<03427> (8802)_:
but as for me and my house
<01004>_,
we will serve
<05647> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And the people
<05971>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God forbid
<02486>
that we should forsake
<05800> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_,
to serve
<05647> (8800)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_;
For the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
he [it is] that brought us up
<05927> (8688)
and our fathers
<01>
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
from the house
<01004>
of bondage
<05650>_,
and which did
<06213> (8804)
those great
<01419>
signs
<0226>
in our sight
<05869>_,
and preserved
<08104> (8799)
us in all the way
<01870>
wherein we went
<01980> (8804)_,
and among all the people
<05971>
through
<07130>
whom we passed
<05674> (8804)_:
And the LORD
<03068>
drave out
<01644> (8762)
from before
<06440>
us all the people
<05971>_,
even the Amorites
<0567>
which dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the land
<0776>_:
[therefore] will we also serve
<05647> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_;
for he [is] our God
<0430>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Ye cannot
<03201> (8799)
serve
<05647> (8800)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for he [is] an holy
<06918>
God
<0430>_;
he [is] a jealous
<07072>
God
<0410>_;
he will not forgive
<05375> (8799)
your transgressions
<06588>
nor your sins
<02403>_.
{holy God: Heb. holy Gods}
If ye forsake
<05800> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8804)
strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>_,
then he will turn
<07725> (8804)
and do you hurt
<07489> (8689)_,
and consume
<03615> (8765)
you, after
<0310>
that he hath done you good
<03190> (8689)_.
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
Nay; but we will serve
<05647> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the people
<05971>_,
Ye [are] witnesses
<05707>
against yourselves that ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)
you the LORD
<03068>_,
to serve
<05647> (8800)
him. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[We are] witnesses
<05707>_.
Now therefore put away
<05493> (8685)_,
[said he], the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
which [are] among
<07130>
you, and incline
<05186> (8685)
your heart
<03824>
unto the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
And the people
<05971>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
The LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
will we serve
<05647> (8799)_,
and his voice
<06963>
will we obey
<08085> (8799)_.
So Joshua
<03091>
made
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with the people
<05971>
that day
<03117>_,
and set
<07760> (8799)
them a statute
<02706>
and an ordinance
<04941>
in Shechem
<07927>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
these words
<01697>
in the book
<05612>
of the law
<08451>
of God
<0430>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
a great
<01419>
stone
<068>_,
and set it up
<06965> (8686)
there under an oak
<0427>_,
that [was] by the sanctuary
<04720>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
Behold, this stone
<068>
shall be a witness
<05713>
unto us; for it hath heard
<08085> (8804)
all the words
<0561>
of the LORD
<03068>
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
unto us: it shall be therefore a witness
<05713>
unto you, lest ye deny
<03584> (8762)
your God
<0430>_.
So Joshua
<03091>
let the people
<05971>
depart
<07971> (8762)_,
every man
<0376>
unto his inheritance
<05159>_.
