1 H3091 And Joshua H622 gathered [H8799] H7626 all the tribes H3478 of Israel H7927 to Shechem H7121 , and called [H8799] H2205 for the elders H3478 of Israel H7218 , and for their heads H8199 , and for their judges [H8802] H7860 , and for their officers [H8802] H3320 ; and they presented [H8691] H6440 themselves before H430 God.

2 H3091 And Joshua H559 said [H8799] H5971 unto all the people H559 , Thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H1 , Your fathers H3427 dwelt [H8804] H5676 on the other side H5104 of the flood H5769 in old time H8646 , even Terah H1 , the father H85 of Abraham H1 , and the father H5152 of Nachor H5647 : and they served [H8799] H312 other H430 gods.

3 H3947 And I took [H8799] H1 your father H85 Abraham H5676 from the other side H5104 of the flood H3212 , and led [H8686] H776 him throughout all the land H3667 of Canaan H7235 , and multiplied [H8686] H2233 his seed H5414 , and gave [H8799] H3327 him Isaac.

4 H5414 And I gave [H8799] H3327 unto Isaac H3290 Jacob H6215 and Esau H5414 : and I gave [H8799] H6215 unto Esau H2022 mount H8165 Seir H3423 , to possess [H8800] H3290 it; but Jacob H1121 and his children H3381 went down [H8804] H4714 into Egypt.

5 H7971 I sent [H8799] H4872 Moses H175 also and Aaron H5062 , and I plagued [H8799] H4714 Egypt H834 , according to that which H6213 I did [H8804] H7130 among H310 them: and afterward H3318 I brought you out [H8689] .

6 H3318 And I brought [H8686] H1 your fathers H4714 out of Egypt H935 : and ye came [H8799] H3220 unto the sea H4714 ; and the Egyptians H7291 pursued [H8799] H310 after H1 your fathers H7393 with chariots H6571 and horsemen H5488 unto the Red H3220 sea.

7 H6817 And when they cried [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD H7760 , he put [H8799] H3990 darkness H4713 between you and the Egyptians H935 , and brought [H8686] H3220 the sea H3680 upon them, and covered [H8762] H5869 them; and your eyes H7200 have seen [H8799] H6213 what I have done [H8804] H4714 in Egypt H3427 : and ye dwelt [H8799] H4057 in the wilderness H7227 a long H3117 season.

8 H935 And I brought [H8686] H776 you into the land H567 of the Amorites H3427 , which dwelt [H8802] H5676 on the other side H3383 Jordan H3898 ; and they fought [H8735] H5414 with you: and I gave [H8799] H3027 them into your hand H3423 , that ye might possess [H8799] H776 their land H8045 ; and I destroyed [H8686] H6440 them from before you.

9 H1111 Then Balak H1121 the son H6834 of Zippor H4428 , king H4124 of Moab H6965 , arose [H8799] H3898 and warred [H8735] H3478 against Israel H7971 , and sent [H8799] H7121 and called [H8799] H1109 Balaam H1121 the son H1160 of Beor H7043 to curse [H8763] you:

10 H14 But I would [H8804] H8085 not hearken [H8800] H1109 unto Balaam H1288 ; therefore he blessed [H8762] H1288 you still [H8800] H5337 : so I delivered [H8686] H3027 you out of his hand.

11 H5674 And ye went over [H8799] H3383 Jordan H935 , and came [H8799] H3405 unto Jericho H1167 : and the men H3405 of Jericho H3898 fought [H8735] H567 against you, the Amorites H6522 , and the Perizzites H3669 , and the Canaanites H2850 , and the Hittites H1622 , and the Girgashites H2340 , the Hivites H2983 , and the Jebusites H5414 ; and I delivered [H8799] H3027 them into your hand.

12 H7971 And I sent [H8799] H6880 the hornet H6440 before H1644 you, which drave them out [H8762] H6440 from before H8147 you, even the two H4428 kings H567 of the Amorites H2719 ; but not with thy sword H7198 , nor with thy bow.

13 H5414 And I have given [H8799] H776 you a land H3021 for which ye did not labour [H8804] H5892 , and cities H1129 which ye built [H8804] H3427 not, and ye dwell [H8799] H3754 in them; of the vineyards H2132 and oliveyards H5193 which ye planted [H8804] H398 not do ye eat [H8802] .

14 H3372 Now therefore fear [H8798] H3068 the LORD H5647 , and serve [H8798] H8549 him in sincerity H571 and in truth H5493 : and put away [H8685] H430 the gods H1 which your fathers H5647 served [H8804] H5676 on the other side H5104 of the flood H4714 , and in Egypt H5647 ; and serve [H8798] H3068 ye the LORD.

15 H7489 And if it seem evil [H8804] H4310 unto you H5647 to serve [H8800] H3068 the LORD H977 , choose [H8798] H3117 you this day H5869 whom H5647 ye will serve [H8799] H430 ; whether the gods H1 which your fathers H5647 served [H8804] H5676 that were on the other side H5104 of the flood H430 , or the gods H567 of the Amorites H776 , in whose land H3427 ye dwell [H8802] H1004 : but as for me and my house H5647 , we will serve [H8799] H3068 the LORD.

16 H5971 And the people H6030 answered [H8799] H559 and said [H8799] H2486 , God forbid H5800 that we should forsake [H8800] H3068 the LORD H5647 , to serve [H8800] H312 other H430 gods;

17 H3068 For the LORD H430 our God H5927 , he it is that brought us up [H8688] H1 and our fathers H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt H1004 , from the house H5650 of bondage H6213 , and which did [H8804] H1419 those great H226 signs H5869 in our sight H8104 , and preserved [H8799] H1870 us in all the way H1980 wherein we went [H8804] H5971 , and among all the people H7130 through H5674 whom we passed [H8804] :

18 H3068 And the LORD H1644 drave out [H8762] H6440 from before H5971 us all the people H567 , even the Amorites H3427 which dwelt [H8802] H776 in the land H5647 : therefore will we also serve [H8799] H3068 the LORD H430 ; for he is our God.

19 H3091 And Joshua H559 said [H8799] H5971 unto the people H3201 , Ye cannot [H8799] H5647 serve [H8800] H3068 the LORD H6918 : for he is an holy H430 God H7072 ; he is a jealous H410 God H5375 ; he will not forgive [H8799] H6588 your transgressions H2403 nor your sins.

20 H5800 If ye forsake [H8799] H3068 the LORD H5647 , and serve [H8804] H5236 strange H430 gods H7725 , then he will turn [H8804] H7489 and do you hurt [H8689] H3615 , and consume [H8765] H310 you, after H3190 that he hath done you good [H8689] .

21 H5971 And the people H559 said [H8799] H3091 unto Joshua H5647 , Nay; but we will serve [H8799] H3068 the LORD.

22 H3091 And Joshua H559 said [H8799] H5971 unto the people H5707 , Ye are witnesses H977 against yourselves that ye have chosen [H8804] H3068 you the LORD H5647 , to serve [H8800] H559 him. And they said [H8799] H5707 , We are witnesses.

23 H5493 Now therefore put away [H8685] H5236 , said he, the strange H430 gods H7130 which are among H5186 you, and incline [H8685] H3824 your heart H3068 unto the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel.

24 H5971 And the people H559 said [H8799] H3091 unto Joshua H3068 , The LORD H430 our God H5647 will we serve [H8799] H6963 , and his voice H8085 will we obey [H8799] .

25 H3091 So Joshua H3772 made [H8799] H1285 a covenant H5971 with the people H3117 that day H7760 , and set [H8799] H2706 them a statute H4941 and an ordinance H7927 in Shechem.

26 H3091 And Joshua H3789 wrote [H8799] H1697 these words H5612 in the book H8451 of the law H430 of God H3947 , and took [H8799] H1419 a great H68 stone H6965 , and set it up [H8686] H427 there under an oak H4720 , that was by the sanctuary H3068 of the LORD.

27 H3091 And Joshua H559 said [H8799] H5971 unto all the people H68 , Behold, this stone H5713 shall be a witness H8085 unto us; for it hath heard [H8804] H561 all the words H3068 of the LORD H1696 which he spake [H8765] H5713 unto us: it shall be therefore a witness H3584 unto you, lest ye deny [H8762] H430 your God.

28 H3091 So Joshua H5971 let the people H7971 depart [H8762] H376 , every man H5159 unto his inheritance.

29 H310 And it came to pass after H1697 these things H3091 , that Joshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H5650 , the servant H3068 of the LORD H4191 , died [H8799] H3967 , being an hundred H6235 and ten H8141 years H1121 old.

30 H6912 And they buried [H8799] H1366 him in the border H5159 of his inheritance H8556 in Timnathserah H2022 , which is in mount H669 Ephraim H6828 , on the north side H2022 of the hill H1608 of Gaash.

31 H3478 And Israel H5647 served [H8799] H3068 the LORD H3117 all the days H3091 of Joshua H3117 , and all the days H2205 of the elders H748 that overlived [H8689] H3117 H310 H3091 Joshua H3045 , and which had known [H8804] H4639 all the works H3068 of the LORD H6213 , that he had done [H8804] H3478 for Israel.

32 H6106 And the bones H3130 of Joseph H1121 , which the children H3478 of Israel H5927 brought up [H8689] H4714 out of Egypt H6912 , buried [H8804] H7927 they in Shechem H2513 , in a parcel H7704 of ground H3290 which Jacob H7069 bought [H8804] H1121 of the sons H2544 of Hamor H1 the father H7927 of Shechem H3967 for an hundred H7192 pieces of silver H5159 : and it became the inheritance H1121 of the children H3130 of Joseph.

33 H499 And Eleazar H1121 the son H175 of Aaron H4191 died [H8804] H6912 ; and they buried [H8799] H1389 him in a hill H6372 that pertained to Phinehas H1121 his son H5414 , which was given [H8738] H2022 him in mount H669 Ephraim.
