@ And
Joshua
gathered
all the
tribes
of
Israel
to
Shechem
, and
called
for the
elders
of
Israel
, and for their
heads
, and for their
judges
, and for their
officers
; and they
presented
themselves
before
God
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:2
@ And
Joshua
said
unto all the
people
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
, Your fathers 1
dwelt
on the other
side
of the
flood
in old
time
, (even)
Terah
, the
father
of
Abraham
, and the
father
of
Nachor
: and they
served
other
gods
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:3
@ And I
took
your
father
Abraham
from the other
side
of the
flood
, and
led
him throughout all the
land
of
Canaan
, and
multiplied
his
seed
, and
gave
him
Isaac
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:4
@ And I
gave
unto
Isaac
Jacob
and
Esau
: and I
gave
unto
Esau
mount
Seir
, to
possess
it; but
Jacob
and his
children
went
down
into
Egypt
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:5
@ I
sent
Moses
also and
Aaron
, and I
plagued
Egypt
, according to that
which
I
did
among
them: and
afterward
I brought you
out
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:6
@ And I
brought
your fathers 1 out of
Egypt
: and ye
came
unto the
sea
; and the
Egyptians
pursued
after
your fathers 1 with
chariots
and
horsemen
unto the
Red
sea
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:7
@ And when they
cried
unto the
LORD
, he
put
darkness
between you and the
Egyptians
, and
brought
the
sea
upon them, and
covered
them; and your
eyes
have
seen
what I have
done
in
Egypt
: and ye
dwelt
in the
wilderness
a
long
season
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:8
@ And I
brought
you into the
land
of the
Amorites
, which
dwelt
on the other
side
Jordan
; and they
fought
with you: and I
gave
them into your
hand
, that ye might
possess
their
land
; and I
destroyed
them from
before
you.
strkjv@Joshua:24:9
@ Then
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor
,
king
of
Moab
,
arose
and
warred
against
Israel
, and
sent
and
called
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
to
curse
you:
strkjv@Joshua:24:10
@ But I
would
not
hearken
unto
Balaam
; therefore he
blessed
you
still
: so I
delivered
you out of his
hand
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:11
@ And ye went
over
Jordan
, and
came
unto
Jericho
: and the
men
of
Jericho
fought
against you, the
Amorites
, and the
Perizzites
, and the
Canaanites
, and the
Hittites
, and the
Girgashites
, the
Hivites
, and the
Jebusites
; and I
delivered
them into your
hand
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:12
@ And I
sent
the
hornet
before
you, which drave them
out
from
before
you, (even) the
two
kings
of the
Amorites
; (but) not with thy
sword
, nor with thy
bow
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:13
@ And I have
given
you a
land
for which ye did not
labour
, and
cities
which ye
built
not, and ye
dwell
in them; of the
vineyards
and
oliveyards
which ye
planted
not do ye
eat
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:14
@ Now therefore
fear
the
LORD
, and
serve
him in
sincerity
and in
truth
: and put
away
the
gods
which your fathers 1
served
on the other
side
of the
flood
, and in
Egypt
; and
serve
ye the
LORD
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:15
@ And if it seem
evil
unto
you
to
serve
the
LORD
,
choose
you this
day
whom
ye will
serve
; whether the
gods
which your fathers 1
served
that (were) on the other
side
of the
flood
, or the
gods
of the
Amorites
, in whose
land
ye
dwell
: but as for me and my
house
, we will
serve
the
LORD
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:16
@ And the
people
answered
and
said
, God
forbid
that we should
forsake
the
LORD
, to
serve
other
gods
;
strkjv@Joshua:24:17
@ For the
LORD
our
God
, he (it is) that brought us
up
and our fathers 1 out of the
land
of
Egypt
, from the
house
of
bondage
, and which
did
those
great
signs
in our
sight
, and
preserved
us in all the
way
wherein we
went
, and among all the
people
through
whom we
passed
:
strkjv@Joshua:24:18
@ And the
LORD
drave
out
from
before
us all the
people
, even the
Amorites
which
dwelt
in the
land
: (therefore) will we also
serve
the
LORD
; for he (is) our
God
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:19
@ And
Joshua
said
unto the
people
, Ye
cannot
serve
the
LORD
: for he (is) an
holy
God
; he (is) a
jealous
God
; he will not
forgive
your
transgressions
nor your
sins
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:20
@ If ye
forsake
the
LORD
, and
serve
strange
gods
, then he will
turn
and do you
hurt
, and
consume
you,
after
that he hath done you
good
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:21
@ And the
people
said
unto
Joshua
, Nay; but we will
serve
the
LORD
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:22
@ And
Joshua
said
unto the
people
, Ye (are)
witnesses
against yourselves that ye have
chosen
you the
LORD
, to
serve
him. And they
said
, (We are)
witnesses
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:23
@ Now therefore put
away
, (said he), the
strange
gods
which (are)
among
you, and
incline
your
heart
unto the
LORD
God
of
Israel
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:24
@ And the
people
said
unto
Joshua
, The
LORD
our
God
will we
serve
, and his
voice
will we
obey
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:25
@ So
Joshua
made
a
covenant
with the
people
that
day
, and
set
them a
statute
and an
ordinance
in
Shechem
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:26
@ And
Joshua
wrote
these
words
in the
book
of the
law
of
God
, and
took
a
great
stone
, and set it
up
there under an
oak
, that (was) by the
sanctuary
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:27
@ And
Joshua
said
unto all the
people
, Behold, this
stone
shall be a
witness
unto us; for it hath
heard
all the
words
of the
LORD
which he
spake
unto us: it shall be therefore a
witness
unto you, lest ye
deny
your
God
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:28
@ So
Joshua
let the
people
depart
, every
man
unto his
inheritance
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:29
@ And it came to pass
after
these
things
, that
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun
, the
servant
of the
LORD
,
died
, (being) an
hundred
and
ten
years
old
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:30
@ And they
buried
him in the
border
of his
inheritance
in
Timnathserah
, which (is) in
mount
Ephraim
, on the north
side
of the
hill
of
Gaash
.
strkjv@Joshua:24:31
@ And
Israel
served
the
LORD
all the
days
of
Joshua
, and all the
days
of the
elders
that
overlived
Joshua
, and which had
known
all the
works
of the
LORD
, that he had
done
for
Israel
.(overlived: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua)
strkjv@Joshua:24:32
@ And the
bones
of
Joseph
, which the
children
of
Israel
brought
up
out of
Egypt
,
buried
they in
Shechem
, in a
parcel
of
ground
which
Jacob
bought
of the
sons
of
Hamor
the father 1 of
Shechem
for an
hundred
pieces of
silver
: and it became the
inheritance
of the
children
of
Joseph
.(pieces: or, lambs)
strkjv@Joshua:24:33
@ And
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
died
; and they
buried
him in a
hill
(that pertained to)
Phinehas
his
son
, which was
given
him in
mount
Ephraim
