Joshua 24:15-28 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.

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.
