Joshua 24:1-15

And Joshua
<03091>
gathered
<0622> (8799)
all the tribes
<07626>
of Israel
<03478>
to Shechem
<07927>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
for the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and for their heads
<07218>_,
and for their judges
<08199> (8802)_,
and for their officers
<07860> (8802)_;
and they presented
<03320> (8691)
themselves before
<06440>
God
<0430>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto all the people
<05971>_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
Your fathers
<01>
dwelt
<03427> (8804)
on the other side
<05676>
of the flood
<05104>
in old time
<05769>_,
[even] Terah
<08646>_,
the father
<01>
of Abraham
<085>_,
and the father
<01>
of Nachor
<05152>_:
and they served
<05647> (8799)
other
<0312>
gods
<0430>_.
And I took
<03947> (8799)
your father
<01>
Abraham
<085>
from the other side
<05676>
of the flood
<05104>_,
and led
<03212> (8686)
him throughout all the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and multiplied
<07235> (8686)
his seed
<02233>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
him Isaac
<03327>_.
And I gave
<05414> (8799)
unto Isaac
<03327>
Jacob
<03290>
and Esau
<06215>_:
and I gave
<05414> (8799)
unto Esau
<06215>
mount
<02022>
Seir
<08165>_,
to possess
<03423> (8800)
it; but Jacob
<03290>
and his children
<01121>
went down
<03381> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_.
I sent
<07971> (8799)
Moses
<04872>
also and Aaron
<0175>_,
and I plagued
<05062> (8799)
Egypt
<04714>_,
according to that which
<0834>
I did
<06213> (8804)
among
<07130>
them: and afterward
<0310>
I brought you out
<03318> (8689)_.
And I brought
<03318> (8686)
your fathers
<01>
out of Egypt
<04714>_:
and ye came
<0935> (8799)
unto the sea
<03220>_;
and the Egyptians
<04714>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
your fathers
<01>
with chariots
<07393>
and horsemen
<06571>
unto the Red
<05488>
sea
<03220>_.
And when they cried
<06817> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
he put
<07760> (8799)
darkness
<03990>
between you and the Egyptians
<04713>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
the sea
<03220>
upon them, and covered
<03680> (8762)
them; and your eyes
<05869>
have seen
<07200> (8799)
what I have done
<06213> (8804)
in Egypt
<04714>_:
and ye dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
a long
<07227>
season
<03117>_.
And I brought
<0935> (8686)
you into the land
<0776>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
which dwelt
<03427> (8802)
on the other side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_;
and they fought
<03898> (8735)
with you: and I gave
<05414> (8799)
them into your hand
<03027>_,
that ye might possess
<03423> (8799)
their land
<0776>_;
and I destroyed
<08045> (8686)
them from before
<06440>
you.
Then Balak
<01111>
the son
<01121>
of Zippor
<06834>_,
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>_,
arose
<06965> (8799)
and warred
<03898> (8735)
against Israel
<03478>_,
and sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Balaam
<01109>
the son
<01121>
of Beor
<01160>
to curse
<07043> (8763)
you:
But I would
<014> (8804)
not hearken
<08085> (8800)
unto Balaam
<01109>_;
therefore he blessed
<01288> (8762)
you still
<01288> (8800)_:
so I delivered
<05337> (8686)
you out of his hand
<03027>_.
And ye went over
<05674> (8799)
Jordan
<03383>_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto Jericho
<03405>_:
and the men
<01167>
of Jericho
<03405>
fought
<03898> (8735)
against you, the Amorites
<0567>_,
and the Perizzites
<06522>_,
and the Canaanites
<03669>_,
and the Hittites
<02850>_,
and the Girgashites
<01622>_,
the Hivites
<02340>_,
and the Jebusites
<02983>_;
and I delivered
<05414> (8799)
them into your hand
<03027>_.
And I sent
<07971> (8799)
the hornet
<06880>
before
<06440>
you, which drave them out
<01644> (8762)
from before
<06440>
you, [even] the two
<08147>
kings
<04428>
of the Amorites
<0567>_;
[but] not with thy sword
<02719>_,
nor with thy bow
<07198>_.
And I have given
<05414> (8799)
you a land
<0776>
for which ye did not labour
<03021> (8804)_,
and cities
<05892>
which ye built
<01129> (8804)
not, and ye dwell
<03427> (8799)
in them; of the vineyards
<03754>
and oliveyards
<02132>
which ye planted
<05193> (8804)
not do ye eat
<0398> (8802)_.
Now therefore fear
<03372> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and serve
<05647> (8798)
him in sincerity
<08549>
and in truth
<0571>_:
and put away
<05493> (8685)
the gods
<0430>
which your fathers
<01>
served
<05647> (8804)
on the other side
<05676>
of the flood
<05104>_,
and in Egypt
<04714>_;
and serve
<05647> (8798)
ye the LORD
<03068>_.
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>_.
