all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and calleth
for the elders of Israel, and for its
heads, and for its
judges, and for its
authorities,
and they station
themselves before God.
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.
And Joshua saith
unto all the people, `
Thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, Beyond
the
River
have
your fathers dwelt of old --
Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor --
and they serve
other gods ;
And Joshua said
unto all the people, Thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, Your fathers 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 .
and I take
your father Abraham from beyond
the River
, and cause
him to
go
through
all the land of Canaan, and multiply
his seed, and give
to
him Isaac.
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.
And I give
to
Isaac ,
Jacob and Esau ;
and I give
to
Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and
Jacob and his sons
have
gone
down to
Egypt.
And I gave
unto
Isaac Jacob and Esau :
and I gave
unto
Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but

went

Egypt.
And
I send
Moses and Aaron, and plague
Egypt, as
I have
done
in
its
midst,
and afterwards
I have
brought you out.
I sent
Moses also
and Aaron, and I
plagued
Egypt, according
to
that
which
I did
among
them:
and afterward
I brought you out.
And I bring
out
your fathers from
Egypt ,
and ye go
into
the sea ,
and the Egyptians pursue
after your fathers ,
with chariot
and with
horsemen ,
to
the Red Sea ;
And I brought
your fathers out
of
Egypt :
and ye came
unto
the sea ;
and the Egyptians pursued
after your fathers with chariots
and horsemen unto
the Red sea .
and they cry
unto Jehovah
, and
He setteth
thick
darkness between you and the Egyptians, and bringeth
on
them
the sea, and covereth
them ,
and your eyes see
that
which
I have done in Egypt ;
and ye dwell
in a
wilderness many
days
.
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
.
`
And I bring
you in
unto
the land of the Amorite
who
is
dwelling
beyond
the Jordan ,
and they fight
with you ,
and I give
them into your hand, and
ye possess their land ,
and I destroy
them out
of
your
presence
.
And I brought
you into
the land of the Amorites,
which
dwelt
on
the other
side
Jordan ;
and they fought
with you :

them into your hand, that
ye might
possess their land ;
and I destroyed
them from
before
you
.
`And
Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, riseth
and fighteth
against Israel, and sendeth
and calleth
for
Balaam son of Beor ,
to revile
you ,
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 :
and
I have
not been
willing
to
hearken to
Balaam ,
and
he doth
greatly
bless
you ,
and
I deliver
you out of his hand.
But
I would
not hearken unto
Balaam ;
therefore
he blessed
you still:
so
I delivered
you out of his hand.
`
And ye
pass
over the
Jordan, and come
in
unto Jericho ,
and fight
against
you
do
the possessors
of Jericho --
the Amorite
, and the Perizzite
, and the Canaanite
, and the Hittite
, and the Girgashite
, the Hivite
, and the Jebusite
--
and I give
them into your hand.
And you
went
over Jordan, and came
unto Jericho :

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.
And I send
before
you
the hornet, and
it
casteth
them out from your
presence
--
two kings of the Amorite
--
not by
thy sword, nor by
thy bow.
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.
`
And I give
to
you a land for which thou
hast
not laboured
, and cities which ye have
not
built, and ye dwell in them; of vineyards and olive-yards
which ye have
not
planted ye are
eating
.
And I have
given
you a land for which ye
did
not labor
, and cities which ye built not
, and ye dwell in them; of the
vineyards and oliveyards
which ye planted not
do
ye eat
.
`And
now ,
fear ye
Jehovah
, and serve Him ,
in perfection
and in truth ,
and turn
aside
the gods which your fathers served beyond
the River
, and in Egypt ,
and serve ye Jehovah;
Now therefore
fear the
LORD
, and serve him in sincerity
and in truth :
and put
away
the gods which your fathers served on
the other
side
of
the
flood
, and in Egypt ;
and serve ye the
LORD.
and if wrong
in
your
eyes
to serve Jehovah
--
choose for
you to-
day whom ye do
serve; --
whether the gods whom
your fathers served ,
which
`are'
beyond
the River
, or the gods of the Amorite
in whose land ye are
dwelling;
and
I
and my house --
we serve Jehovah
. '
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 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
.
And the people answer
and say
, `Far
be
it
from
us
to
forsake Jehovah
, to serve other gods;
And the people answered
and said
, God
forbid
that
we
should
forsake the
LORD
, to serve other gods;
for Jehovah
our God `is'
He who
is bringing
us and our fathers up
out of the land of Egypt, out
of
a
house of servants
, and who
hath
done
before
our
eyes
these
great signs, and doth
keep
us in all the way in
which
we have
gone
, and among all the peoples
through whose
midst
we passed ;
For the
LORD
our God ,
he it
is that
brought
us up
and our fathers 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 :
and Jehovah
casteth
out
the whole
of
the peoples
, even the Amorite
inhabiting
the land ,
from
our
presence;
we also do
serve Jehovah,
for He `
is '
our God. '
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.
And Joshua saith
unto the people, `
Ye are
not
able
to
serve Jehovah,
for a
God
most
holy
He `
is ';
a
zealous
God He `
is '
; He doth
not bear
with
your transgression
and
with
your sins.
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.
When
ye forsake Jehovah
, and have
served
gods of
a
stranger
, then He hath
turned
back
and done
evil
to
you, and consumed
you, after that He hath done good
to
you. '
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
.
And the people saith
unto Joshua, `No,
but Jehovah
we do
serve. '
And the people said
unto Joshua, Nay;
but we will
serve the
LORD
.
And Joshua saith
unto the people, `Witnesses
ye are against yourselves ,
that ye have chosen for
you Jehovah
to serve Him (
and they say
, `
Witnesses !')
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 .
and,
now, turn
aside
the gods of
the
stranger
which `
are '
in
your
midst
, and incline your heart unto Jehovah,
God of Israel. '
Now therefore
put
away
, said
he,
the strange
gods which are among
you
, and incline your heart unto the
LORD
God of Israel.
And the people say
unto Joshua, `Jehovah
our God we serve, and to
His voice we hearken
. '
And the people said
unto Joshua, The
LORD
our God will
we serve, and his voice will
we obey
.
And
Joshua maketh
a covenant with the people on
that day, and layeth
on
it
a statute and an ordinance ,
in Shechem.

a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

these words in the Book of the Law of God, and taketh
a great stone, and raiseth

oak which
`is'
in
the sanctuary of Jehovah
.

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
.
And Joshua saith
unto all the people, `Lo
, this stone is
against
us
for
a witness ,
for it hath heard all the sayings
of Jehovah
which He hath
spoken
with
us ,
and
it hath
been
against
you
for
a witness, lest ye lie
against
your God. '
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.
And
Joshua sendeth
the people away
, each
to
his inheritance.

unto
his inheritance.
