Joshua 24:15-28 If it seems evil to you to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh."

15 H7489 If it seems evil H4310 to you H5647 to serve H3068 Yahweh, H977 choose H3117 this day H5869 whom H5647 you will serve; H430 whether the gods H1 which your fathers H5647 served H5676 that were beyond H5104 the River, H430 or the gods H567 of the Amorites, H776 in whose land H3427 you dwell: H1004 but as for me and my house, H5647 we will serve H3068 Yahweh."

16 H5971 The people H6030 answered, H559 H2486 "Far H5800 be it from us that we should forsake H3068 Yahweh, H5647 to serve H312 other H430 gods;

17 H3068 for it is Yahweh H430 our God H1 who brought us and our fathers H5927 up H776 out of the land H4714 of Egypt, H1004 from the house H5650 of bondage, H6213 and who did H1419 those great H226 signs H5869 in our sight, H8104 and preserved H1870 us in all the way H1980 in which we went, H5971 and among all the peoples H7130 through H5674 the midst of whom we passed.

18 H3068 Yahweh H1644 drove out H6440 from before H5971 us all the peoples, H567 even the Amorites H3427 who lived H776 in the land. H5647 Therefore we also will serve H3068 Yahweh; H430 for he is our God."

19 H3091 Joshua H559 said H5971 to the people, H3201 "You can't H5647 serve H3068 Yahweh; H6918 for he is a holy H430 God. H7072 He is a jealous H430 God. H5375 He will not forgive H6588 your disobedience H2403 nor your sins.

20 H5800 If you forsake H3068 Yahweh, H5647 and serve H5236 foreign H430 gods, H7725 then he will turn H7489 and do you evil, H3615 and consume H310 you, after H3190 he has done you good."

21 H5971 The people H559 said H3091 to Joshua, H5647 "No; but we will serve H3068 Yahweh."

22 H3091 Joshua H559 said H5971 to the people, H5707 "You are witnesses H977 against yourselves that you have chosen H3068 Yahweh H5647 yourselves, to serve H559 him." They said, H5707 "We are witnesses."

23 H5493 "Now therefore put away H5236 the foreign H430 gods H7130 which are among H5186 you, and incline H3824 your heart H3068 to Yahweh, H430 the God H3478 of Israel."

24 H5971 The people H559 said H3091 to Joshua, H5647 "We will serve H3068 Yahweh H430 our God, H8085 and we will listen H6963 to his voice."

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

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

27 H3091 Joshua H559 said H5971 to all the people, H68 "Behold, this stone H5713 shall be a witness H8085 against us; for it has heard H561 all the words H3068 of Yahweh H1696 which he spoke H5713 to us. It shall be therefore a witness H3584 against you, lest you deny H430 your God."

28 H3091 So Joshua H5971 sent the people H7971 away, H376 every man H5159 to his inheritance.
