1: And gatheredH0622 JoshuaH3091 -H0853 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to Shechem,H7927 and calledH7121 for the eldersH2205 of Israel,H3478 for their heads,H7218 for their judges,H8199 for their officers-H7860 and they presented themselvesH3320 beforeH6440 God.H0430
2: And saidH0559 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 allH3605 the people,H5971 thusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel,H3478 on the other sideH5676 of the RiverH5104 dweltH3427 Your fathersH0001 in old times,H5769 [including] Terah,H8646 the fatherH0001 of Abraham,H0085 and the fatherH0001 of Nahor,H5152 and they servedH5647 godsH0430 other.H0312
3: And I tookH3947 -H0853 your fatherH0001 -H0853 AbrahamH0085 from the other sideH5676 of the River,H5104 and ledH1980 himH0853 throughout allH3605 the landH0776 of Canaan,H3667 and multipliedH7235 -H0853 his descendants,H2233 and gaveH5414 -H0853 Isaac.H3327
4: And I gaveH5414 to IsaacH3327 -H0853 JacobH3290 andH0853 Esau,H6215 and I gaveH5414 to EsauH6215 -H0853 the mountainsH2022 of Seir,H8165 to possessH3423 -H0853 but JacobH3290 and his childrenH1121 went downH3381 to Egypt.H4714
5: And I sentH7971 -H0853 MosesH4872 andH0853 Aaron,H0175 and I plaguedH5062 -H0853 Egypt,H4714 according to whatH0834 I didH6213 among themH7130 and afterwardH0310 I brought outH3318 you.H0853
6: And I broughtH3318 -H0853 your fathersH0001 out of EgyptH4714 and you cameH0935 to the sea-H3220 and pursuedH7291 EgyptH4713 afterH0310 your fathersH0001 with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 to the SeaH3220 Red.H5488
7: So they cried outH6817 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and He putH7760 darknessH3990 between youH0996 andH0996 the Egyptians,H4713 and broughtH0935 upon themH5921 -H0853 the seaH3220 and covered themH3680 and sawH7200 your eyesH5869 -H0853 whatH0834 I didH6213 in Egypt.H4714 And you dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 a timeH3117 long.H7227 And I broughtH0935 youH0853 intoH0413 the landH0776 of the Amorites,H0567 who dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the Jordan-H3383 and they foughtH3898 with youH0854 but I gaveH5414 themH0853 into your hand,H3027 that you might possessH3423 -H0853 their land-H0776 and I destroyed themH8045 from before you.H6440
9: And aroseH6965 BalakH1111 sonH1121 of Zippor,H6834 kingH4428 of Moab,H4124 and to make warH3898 against Israel,H3478 and sentH7971 and calledH7121 BalaamH1109 sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you.H0853
10: But notH3808 I wouldH0014 listenH8085 to Balaam-H1109 therefore he to blessH1288 continuedH1288 youH0853 so I deliveredH5337 youH0853 out of his hand.H3027
11: And you went overH5674 -H0853 the Jordan,H3383 and cameH0935 toH0413 Jericho-H3405 and foughtH3898 the menH1167 of JerichoH3405 [also] the Amorite,H0567 and the Perizzite,H6522 and the Canaanite,H3669 and the Hittite,H2850 and the Girgashite,H1622 the Hivite,H2340 and the Jebusite-H2983 but I deliveredH5414 themH0853 into your hand.H3027
12: And I sentH7971 before youH6440 -H0853 the hornetH6880 and which drove them outH1644 -H0853 from before youH6440 twoH8147 [also] the kings ofH4428 the Amorites-H0567 [but] notH3808 with your sword,H2719 orH3808 with your bow.H7198
13: And I have givenH5414 a landH0776 for whichH0834 notH3808 you did labor,H3021 and citiesH5892 whichH0834 not,H3808 you did buildH1129 and you dwellH3427 of the vineyardsH3754 and olive grovesH2132 whichH0834 notH3808 you did plantH5193 youH0859 eat.H0398
14: Now thereforeH6258 fearH3372 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and serveH5647 HimH0853 in sincerityH8549 and in truth-H0571 and put awayH5493 -H0853 the godsH0430 whichH0834 servedH5647 your fathersH0001 on the other sideH5676 of the River,H5104 and in Egypt-H4714 and ServeH5647 -H0853 Yahweh!.H3068
15: And ifH0518 it seems evilH7451 in your sightH5869 to serveH5647 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 chooseH0977 this dayH3117 -H0853 whomH4310 you will serve-H5647 whetherH0518 -H0853 the godsH0430 whichH0834 servedH5647 your fathersH0001 that [were]H0834 on the other side ofH5676 the River,H5104 orH0518 -H0853 the godsH0430 of the Amorites,H0567 in whoseH0834 youH0859 dwell-H3427 in whose landH0776 but IH0595 and my house,H1004 will serveH5647 -H0853 Yahweh.H3068
16: So answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 and said,H0559 Far be it from usH2486 that we should forsakeH5800 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 to serveH5647 gods-H0430 other.H0312
17: ForH3588 YahwehH3068 our God [is],H0430 HeH1931 who brought upH5927 usH0853 andH0853 our fathersH0001 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 from the houseH1004 of bondage,H5650 and whoH0834 didH6213 in our sight,H5869 -H0853 signsH0226 greatH1419 theseH0428 and preserved usH8104 in allH3605 the wayH1870 thatH0834 we went,H1980 and among allH3605 the peopleH5971 through whoseH0834 we passedH5674 through whom.H7130
18: And drove outH1644 YahwehH3068 -H0853 allH3605 the people,H5971 and includingH0853 the AmoritesH0567 who dweltH3427 in the land.H0776 From before usH6440 alsoH1571 weH0587 will serveH5647 -H0853 Yahweh-H3068 forH3588 He [is]H1931 our God.H0430
19: But saidH0559 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 the people,H5971 cannotH3808 YouH3201 serveH5647 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 forH3588 a God-H0430 holyH6918 He [is]H1931 a God-H0410 jealousH7072 He [is]H1931 notH3808 He will forgiveH5375 your transgressionsH6588 nor your sins.H2403
20: IfH3588 you forsakeH5800 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and serveH5647 gods,H0430 foreignH5236 then He will turnH7725 and do harm,H7489 and consumeH3615 youH0853 afterH0310 afterH0834 He has done goodH3190
21: And saidH0559 the peopleH5971 toH0413 Joshua,H3091 No-H3808 butH3588 -H0853 Yahweh!H3068 we will serve.H5647
22: So saidH0559 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 the people,H5971 witnessesH5707 You [are]H0859 thatH3588 youH0859 have chosenH0977 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 to serveH5647 HimH0853 and they said,H0559 [We are] witnesses.H5707
23: Now thereforeH6258 [he said] put away,H5493 theH0853 godsH0430 foreignH5236 which [are]H0834 among youH7130 and inclineH5186 -H0853 your heartH3824 toH0413 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Israel.H3478
24: And saidH0559 the peopleH5971 toH0413 Joshua,H3091 -H0853 YahwehH3068 our GodH0430 we will serve,H5647 and His voiceH6963 we will obey.H8085
25: So madeH3772 JoshuaH3091 a covenantH1285 with the peopleH5971 day,H3117 thatH1931 and madeH7760 a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 in Shechem.H7927
26: And wroteH3789 JoshuaH3091 -H0853 wordsH1697 theseH0428 in the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of God,H0430 and he tookH3947 a stone,H0068 largeH1419 and set it upH6965 thereH8033 underH8478 the oak,H0427 that [was]H0834 by the sanctuaryH4720 of Yahweh.H3068
27: And saidH0559 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 allH3605 the people,H5971 behold,H2009 stoneH0068 thisH2063 shall beH1961 a witnessH5713 forH3588 itH1931 heard hasH8085 -H0853 allH3605 the wordsH0561 of YahwehH3068 whichH0834 He spokeH1696 to usH5973 therefore it shall beH1961 a witnessH5713 lestH6435 you denyH3584 your God.H0430
28: So let depart,H7971 JoshuaH3091 -H0853 the peopleH5971 eachH0376 to his own inheritance.H5159
29: And it came to passH1961 afterH0310 things,H1697 theseH0428 that died,H4191 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of Nun,H5126 the servantH5650 of Yahweh,H3068 oldH1121 [being] a hundredH3967 and tenH6235 years old.H8141
30: And they buriedH6912 himH0853 within the borderH1366 of his inheritanceH5159 Timnath Serah,H8556 which [is]H0834 in the mountainsH2022 of Ephraim,H0669 on the north sideH6828 of MountH2022 Gaash.H1608
31: And servedH5647 IsraelH3478 -H0853 YahwehH3068 allH3605 the daysH3117 of Joshua,H3091 and allH3605 the daysH3117 of the eldersH2205 whoH0834 outlivedH0748 the daysH3117 after thatH0310 Joshua,H3091 and whoH0834 had knownH3045 -H0853 allH3605 the worksH4639 of Yahweh,H3068 whichH0834 He had doneH6213 for Israel.H3478
32: AndH0853 the bonesH6106 of Joseph,H3130 whichH0834 had brought upH5927 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714 they buriedH6912 at Shechem,H7927 in the plotH2513 of groundH7704 whichH0834 had boughtH7069 JacobH3290 fromH0853 the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544 the fatherH0001 of ShechemH7927 for a hundredH3967 pieces of silver-H7192 and which had becomeH1961 of the sonsH1121 of JosephH3130 an inheritance.H5159
33: And EleazarH0499 sonH1121 of AaronH0175 died-H4191 and they buriedH6912 himH0853 in a hillH1389 [belonging to] PhinehasH6372 his son,H1121 whichH0834 was givenH5414 in the mountainsH2022 of Ephraim.H0669
