15 and if it vilify your eyes to serve Yah Veh, choose you this day whomever you serve - whether the elohim your fathers served beyond the river; or the elohim of the Emoriy in whose land you settle: but as for me and my house, we serve Yah Veh.
16 And the people answer and say, Far be it that we forsake Yah Veh to serve other elohim;
17 for Yah Veh our Elohim ascended us and our fathers from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants and worked those great signs in our eyes; and guarded us in all the way we went and among all the people among whom we passed:
18 and Yah Veh drove all the people from our face - even the Emoriy who settled in the land: we also serve Yah Veh; for he is our Elohim.
19 And Yah Shua says to the people, You cannot serve Yah Veh: for he is a holy Elohim; he is a jealous El; he lifts neither your rebellions nor your sins.
20 When you forsake Yah Veh and serve strange elohim he turns and vilifies you and finishes you off after he has well-pleased you.
21 And the people say to Yah Shua, No! But we serve Yah Veh.
22 And Yah Shua says to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen Yah Veh - to serve him. And they say, We are witnesses.
23 And now, turn aside the strange elohim among you and spread your heart to Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El.
24 And the people say to Yah Shua, Yah Veh our Elohim we serve: and his voice we hear!
25 And Yah Shua cuts a covenant with the people that day and sets them a statute and a judgment in Shechem:
26 and Yah Shua inscribes these words in the scroll of the torah of Elohim and takes a great stone and raises it there under an oak by the holies of Yah Veh.
27 And Yah Shua says to all the people, Behold, this stone becomes a witness to us; for it hears all the sayings Yah Veh words to us: it becomes a witness to you lest you deny your Elohim.
28 So Yah Shua sends the people away - every man to his inheritance.
