1

Then  aJoshuah3091 gatheredh622 allh3605 the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478 to Shechemh7927, and calledh7121 for the eldersh2205 of Israelh3478 and for their headsh7218 and their judgesh8199 and their officersh7860; and they presentedh3320 themselves beforeh6440 Godh430.

2

Joshuah3091 saidh559 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, "Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, `From ancienth5769 timesh5769 your fathersh1 livedh3427 beyondh5676 the  1Riverh5104, namely,  aTerahh8646, the fatherh1 of Abrahamh85 and the fatherh1 of Nahorh5152, and they servedh5647 otherh312 godsh430.

3

`Then  aI tookh3947 your fatherh1 Abrahamh85 from beyondh4480h5676 the  1Riverh5104, and ledh1980 him through allh3605 the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, and  bmultipliedh7235a his  2descendantsh2233 and gaveh5414 him  cIsaach3327.

4

`To Isaach3327 I gaveh5414  aJacobh3290 and Esauh6215, and  bto Esauh6215 I gaveh5414 Mounth2022 Seirh8165 to possessh3423 it; but  cJacobh3290 and his sonsh1121 wenth3381 downh3381 to Egypth4714.

5

`Then  aI senth7971 Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175, and I plaguedh5062 Egypth4714  1by whath834 I didh6213a in its midsth7130; and afterwardh310 I broughth3318 you out.

6

`I broughth3318 your fathersh1 out of Egypth4714, and  ayou cameh935 to the seah3220; and Egypth4714 pursuedh7291 your fathersh1 with chariotsh7393 and horsemenh6571b to the  1Redh5488h3220 Seah3220.

7

`But when they criedh6817 out to the LORDh3068, He puth7760 darknessh3990 betweenh996 you and the Egyptiansh4713, and broughth935 the seah3220 upon them and coveredh3680 them; and your own eyesh5869 sawh7200 whath834 I didh6213a in Egypth4714. And  ayou livedh3427 in the wildernessh4057b for a longh7227a timeh3117.

8

`Then  aI broughth935 you into the landh776 of the Amoritesh567 who livedh3427 beyondh5676 the Jordanh3383, and they foughth3898a with you; and I gaveh5414 them into your handh3027, and you tookh3423 possessionh3423 of their landh776 when I destroyedh8045 them beforeh6440 you.

9

`Then  aBalakh1111 the sonh1121 of Zipporh6834, kingh4428 of Moabh4124, aroseh6965 and foughth3898a against Israelh3478, and he senth7971 and summonedh7121 Balaamh1109a the sonh1121 of Beorh1160 to curseh7043 you.

10

`But I  awas not willingh14 to listenh8085 to Balaamh1109a. So he hadh1288 to blessh1288 you, and I deliveredh5337 you from his handh3027.

11

aYou crossedh5674a the Jordanh3383 and cameh935 to Jerichoh3405; and the citizensh1167 of Jerichoh3405 foughth3898a against you, and  bthe Amoriteh567 and the Perizziteh6522 and the Canaaniteh3669a and the Hittiteh2850 and the Girgashiteh1622, the Hiviteh2340 and the Jebusiteh2983. Thus  cI gaveh5414 them into your handh3027.

12

`Then I  asenth7971 the horneth6880 beforeh6440 you and it  1droveh1644 out the twoh8147 kingsh4428 of the Amoritesh567 from beforeh4480h6440 you, but  bnot by your swordh2719 or your bowh7198.

13

aI gaveh5414 you a landh776 on whichh834 you had not laboredh3021, and citiesh5892b whichh834 you had not builth1129, and you have livedh3427 in them; you are eatingh398 of vineyardsh3754 and oliveh2132 grovesh2132 whichh834 you did not planth5193.'

"We Will Serve the LORD"

14

"Nowh6258, therefore,  1 afearh3372a the LORDh3068 and serveh5647 Him in sincerityh8549 and  2truthh571; and puth5493 awayh5493 the godsh430 whichh834 your fathersh1 servedh5647 beyondh5676 the  3Riverh5104 and in Egypth4714, and serveh5647 the LORDh3068.

15

"Ifh518 it is disagreeableh7489a in your sighth5869 to serveh5647 the LORDh3068, chooseh977 for yourselves todayh3117 whomh4310 you will serveh5647: whetherh518 the godsh430 whichh834 your fathersh1 servedh5647 whichh834 were beyondh5676 the Riverh5104, or  athe godsh430 of the Amoritesh567 in whoseh834 landh776 you are livingh3427; but as for me and my househ1004, we will serveh5647 the LORDh3068."

16

The peopleh5971a answeredh6030a and saidh559, "Farh2486 be it from us that we should forsakeh5800a the LORDh3068 to serveh5647 otherh312 godsh430;

17

for the LORDh3068 our Godh430 is He who broughth5927 us and our fathersh1 up out of the landh776 of Egypth4714, from the househ1004 of  1bondageh5650, and whoh834 didh6213a theseh428 greath1419 signsh226 in our sighth5869 and preservedh8104 us through allh3605 the wayh1870 in whichh834 we wenth1980 and among allh3605 the peoplesh5971a through whoseh834 midsth7130 we passedh5674a.

18

"The LORDh3068 droveh1644 out from beforeh6440 us allh3605 the peoplesh5971a, even the Amoritesh567 who livedh3427 in the landh776. We alsoh1571 will serveh5647 the LORDh3068, for He is our Godh430."

19

Then Joshuah3091 saidh559 to the peopleh5971a, "You will not be ableh3201 to serveh5647 the LORDh3068,  afor He is a holyh6918 Godh430. He is  ba jealoush7072 Godh410;  cHe will not forgiveh5375 your transgressionh6588 or your sinsh2403b.

20

aIfh3588 you forsakeh5800a the LORDh3068 and serveh5647 foreignh5236 godsh430, then He will turnh7725 and doh7489a you harmh7489a and consumeh3615 you afterh310 He has doneh3190 goodh3190 to you."

21

The peopleh5971a saidh559 to Joshuah3091, "Noh3808, but we will serveh5647 the LORDh3068."

22

Joshuah3091 saidh559 to the peopleh5971a, "You are witnessesh5707 against yourselves that  ayou have chosenh977 for yourselves the LORDh3068, to serveh5647 Him." And they saidh559, "We are witnessesh5707."

23

"Nowh6258 therefore, puth5493 awayh5493 the foreignh5236 godsh430 whichh834 are in your midsth7130, and  ainclineh5186 your heartsh3824 to the LORDh3068, the Godh430 of Israelh3478."

24

 aThe peopleh5971a saidh559 to Joshuah3091, "We will serveh5647 the LORDh3068 our Godh430 and we will  1obeyh8085 His voiceh6963."

25

 aSo Joshuah3091 madeh3772 a covenanth1285 with the peopleh5971a that dayh3117, and madeh7760 for them a statuteh2706 and an ordinanceh4941 in Shechemh7927.

26

And Joshuah3091  awroteh3789 theseh428 wordsh1697 in the bookh5612 of the lawh8451 of Godh430; and he tookh3947 a largeh1419 stoneh68 and seth6965 it up thereh8033 underh8478 the oakh427 that was by the sanctuaryh4720 of the LORDh3068.

27

Joshuah3091 saidh559 to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, "Beholdh2009,  athish2088 stoneh68 shall be for a witnessh5713a against us, for it has heardh8085 allh3605 the wordsh561 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He spokeh1696  1to us; thus it shall be for a witnessh5713a against you, soh6435 that you do not denyh3584 your Godh430."

28

Then Joshuah3091 dismissedh7971 the peopleh5971a, eachh376 to his inheritanceh5159.

29

It cameh1961 about afterh310 theseh428 thingsh1697 that Joshuah3091 the sonh1121 of Nunh5126, the servanth5650 of the LORDh3068, diedh4191, being one hundredh3967 and tenh6235 yearsh8141 oldh1121.

30

And they buriedh6912 him in the territoryh1366 of his inheritanceh5159 in  aTimnath-serahh8556b, whichh834 is in the hillh2022 countryh2022 of Ephraimh669, on the northh6828 of Mounth2022 Gaashh1608.

31

 aIsraelh3478 servedh5647 the LORDh3068 allh3605 the daysh3117 of Joshuah3091 and allh3605 the daysh3117 of the eldersh2205 whoh834  1survivedh748h3117h310 Joshuah3091, and had knownh3045 allh3605 the deedsh4639 of the LORDh3068 whichh834 He had doneh6213a for Israelh3478.

32

Now  athey buriedh6912 the bonesh6106 of Josephh3130, whichh834 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 broughth5927 up from Egypth4714, at Shechemh7927, in the pieceh2513a of groundh7704  bwhichh834 Jacobh3290 had boughth7069 from the sonsh1121 of Hamorh2544 the fatherh1 of Shechemh7927 for one hundredh3967  1piecesh7192 of moneyh7192; and they becameh1961 the inheritanceh5159 of Joseph'sh3130 sonsh1121.

33

And Eleazarh499 the sonh1121 of Aaronh175 diedh4191; and they buriedh6912 him  1at Gibeahh1390 of  aPhinehash6372 his sonh1121, whichh834 was givenh5414 him in the hillh2022 countryh2022 of Ephraimh669.
