1
Then Joshua
gathered
all
the tribes
of Israel
to Shechem,
and c
all
ed
for the elders
of Israel
and for their heads
and their judges
and their officers;
and they presented
themselves before
God.
2
Joshua
said
to all
the people,
"Thus
says
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
'From ancient times
your fathers
lived
beyond
the River,
namely, Terah,
the father
of Abraham
and
the father
of Nahor,
and they served
other
gods.
3
'
Then I took
your father
Abraham
from beyond
the River,
and led
him through all
the land
of Canaan,
and multiplied
his descendants
and gave
him Isaac.
4
'
To Isaac
I gave
Jacob
and Esau,
and to Esau
I gave
Mount
Seir
to possess
it; but
Jacob
and his sons
went down
to Egypt.
5
'
Then I sent
Moses
and Aaron,
and I plagued
Egypt
by what
I did
in its midst;
and afterward
I brought
you out.
6
'
I brought
your fathers
out of Egypt,
and you came
to the sea;
and Egypt
pursued
your fathers
with chariots
and horsemen
to the Red
Sea.
7
'
But when they cried
out to the LORD,
He put
darkness
between
you and the Egyptians,
and brought
the sea
upon them and covered
them; and your own eyes
saw
what
I did
in Egypt.
And you lived
in the wilderness
for a long
time.
8
'
Then I brought
you into the land
of the Amorites
who lived
beyond
the Jordan,
and they fought
with you; and I gave
them into your hand,
and you took possession
of their land
when I destroyed
them before
you.
9
'
Then Balak
the son
of Zippor,
king
of Moab,
arose
and fought
against Israel,
and he sent
and summoned
Balaam
the son
of Beor
to curse
you.
10
'
But I was not willing
to listen
to Balaam.
So he had
to bless
you, and I delivered
you from his hand.
11
You crossed
the Jordan
and came
to Jericho;
and the citizens
of Jericho
fought
against you, and the Amorite
and the Perizzite
and the Canaanite
and the Hittite
and the Girgashite,
the Hivite
and the Jebusite.
Thus I gave
them into your hand.
12
Then I sent
the hornet
before
you and it drove
out the two
kings
of the Amorites
from
before
you, but not by your sword
or your bow.
13
'
I gave
you a land
on
which
you had not labored,
and cities
which
you had not built,
and you have lived
in them; you are eating
of vineyards
and olive groves
which
you did not plant.'
14
"Now,
therefore, fear
the LORD
and serve
Him in sincerity
and truth;
and put away
the gods
which
your fathers
served
beyond
the River
and in Egypt,
and serve
the LORD
.
15
"If
it is disagreeable
in your sight
to serve
the LORD,
choose
for yourselves today
whom
you will serve:
whether
the gods
which
your fathers
served
which
were beyond
the River,
or
the gods
of the Amorites
in whose
land
you are living;
but as for me and my house,
we will serve
the LORD."
16
The people
answered
and said,
"Far
be it from us that we should forsake
the LORD
to serve
other
gods;
17
for the LORD
our God
is He who brought
us and our fathers
up out of the land
of Egypt,
from the house
of bondage,
and who
did
these
great
signs
in our sight
and preserved
us through all
the way
in which
we went
and among all
the peoples
through whose
midst
we passed.
18
"The LORD
drove
out from before
us all
the peoples,
even the Amorites
who lived
in the land.
We also
will serve
the LORD,
for He is our God."
19
Then Joshua
said
to the people,
"You will not be able
to serve
the LORD,
for He is a holy
God.
He is a jealous
God;
He will not forgive
your transgression
or your sins.
20
"If
you forsake
the LORD
and serve
foreign
gods,
then He will turn
and do you harm
and consume
you after
He has done good
to you."
21
The people
said
to Joshua,
"No,
but we will serve
the LORD."
22
Joshua
said
to the people,
"You are witnesses
against yourselves that you have chosen
for yourselves the LORD,
to serve
Him." And they
said
,
"We are witnesses."
23
"Now
therefore, put away
the foreign
gods
which
are in your midst,
and incline
your hearts
to the LORD,
the God
of Israel."
24
The people
said
to Joshua,
"We will serve
the LORD
our God
and we will obey
His voice."
25
So Joshua
made
a covenant
with the people
that day,
and
made
for them a statute
and an ordinance
in Shechem.
26
And Joshua
wrote
these
words
in the book
of the law
of God;
and he took
a large
stone
and set
it up there
under
the oak
that was by the sanctuary
of the LORD.
27
Joshua
said
to
all
the people,
"Behold,
this
stone
sh
all
be for a witness
against us, for it has heard
all
the words
of the LORD
which
He spoke
to us; thus it
sh
all
be for a witness
against you, so
that you do not deny
your God."
28
Then Joshua
dismissed
the people,
each
to his inheritance.
29
It came
about after
these
things
that Joshua
the son
of Nun,
the servant
of the LORD,
died,
being one hundred
and ten
years
old.
30
And they buried
him in the territory
of his inheritance
in Timnath-serah,
which
is in the hill
country
of Ephraim,
on the north
of Mount
Gaash.
31
Israel
served
the LORD
all
the days
of Joshua
and
all
the days
of the elders
who
survived
Joshua,
and had known
all
the deeds
of
the LORD
which
He had done
for
Israel
.
32
Now they buried
the bones
of Joseph,
which
the sons
of Israel
brought
up from Egypt,
at Shechem,
in the piece
of ground
which
Jacob
had bought
from
the sons
of Hamor
the father
of Shechem
for one hundred
pieces of money;
and they became
the inheritance
of Joseph's
sons.
33
And Eleazar
the son
of Aaron
died;
and they buried
him at Gibeah
of Phinehas
his son,
which
was given
him in the hill country
of Ephraim.
