H7489 [H8804]
And if it seemeth evil
H4310
to you
H5647 [H8800]
to serve
H3068
the LORD
H977 [H8798]
, choose
H3117
for yourselves this day
H5869
whom
H5647 [H8799]
ye will serve
H430
; whether the gods
H1
which your fathers
H5647 [H8804]
served
H5676
that were on the other side
H5104
of the river
H430
, or the gods
H567
of the Amorites
H776
, in whose land
H3427 [H8802]
ye dwell
H1004
: but as for me and my house
H5647 [H8799]
, we will serve
H3068
the LORD.
16
H5971
And the people
H6030 [H8799]
answered
H559 [H8799]
and said
H2486
, Be it far from us
H5800 [H8800]
that we should forsake
H3068
the LORD
H5647 [H8800]
, to serve
H312
other
H430
gods;
17
H3068
For the LORD
H430
our God
H5927 [H8688]
, he it is that brought us
H1
and our fathers
H776
out of the land
H4714
of Egypt
H1004
, from the house
H5650
of bondage
H6213 [H8804]
, and who did
H1419
those great
H226
signs
H5869
in our sight
H8104 [H8799]
, and preserved
H1870
us in all the way
H1980 [H8804]
in which we went
H5971
, and among all the people
H7130
through
H5674 [H8804]
whom we passed:
18
H3068
And the LORD
H1644 [H8762]
drove out
H6440
from before
H5971
us all the people
H567
, even the Amorites
H3427 [H8802]
who dwelt
H776
in the land
H5647 [H8799]
: therefore will we also serve
H3068
the LORD
H430
; for he is our God.
19
H3091
And Joshua
H559 [H8799]
said
H5971
to the people
H3201 [H8799]
, Ye cannot
H5647 [H8800]
serve
H3068
the LORD
H6918
: for he is an holy
H430
God
H7072
; he is a jealous
H410
God
H5375 [H8799]
; he will not forgive
H6588
your transgressions
H2403
nor your sins.
20
H5800 [H8799]
If ye forsake
H3068
the LORD
H5647 [H8804]
, and serve
H5236
foreign
H430
gods
H7725 [H8804]
, then he will turn
H7489 [H8689]
and do you harm
H3615 [H8765]
, and consume
H310
you, after
H3190 [H8689]
that he hath done you good.
21
H5971
And the people
H559 [H8799]
said
H3091
to Joshua
H5647 [H8799]
, Nay; but we will serve
H3068
the LORD.
22
H3091
And Joshua
H559 [H8799]
said
H5971
to the people
H5707
, Ye are witnesses
H977 [H8804]
against yourselves that ye have chosen
H3068
you the LORD
H5647 [H8800]
, to serve
H559 [H8799]
him. And they said
H5707
, We are witnesses.
23
H5493 [H8685]
Now therefore put away
H5236
, said he, the foreign
H430
gods
H7130
which are among
H5186 [H8685]
you, and incline
H3824
your heart
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel.
24
H5971
And the people
H559 [H8799]
said
H3091
to Joshua
H3068
, The LORD
H430
our God
H5647 [H8799]
will we serve
H6963
, and his voice
H8085 [H8799]
will we obey.
25
H3091
So Joshua
H3772 [H8799]
made
H1285
a covenant
H5971
with the people
H3117
that day
H7760 [H8799]
, and set
H2706
them a statute
H4941
and an ordinance
H7927
in Shechem.
26
H3091
And Joshua
H3789 [H8799]
wrote
H1697
these words
H5612
in the book
H8451
of the law
H430
of God
H3947 [H8799]
, and took
H1419
a great
H68
stone
H6965 [H8686]
, and set it up
H427
there under an oak
H4720
, that was by the sanctuary
H3068
of the LORD.
27
H3091
And Joshua
H559 [H8799]
said
H5971
to all the people
H68
, Behold, this stone
H5713
shall be a witness
H8085 [H8804]
to us; for it hath heard
H561
all the words
H3068
of the LORD
H1696 [H8765]
which he spoke
H5713
to us: it shall be therefore a witness
H3584 [H8762]
to you, lest ye deny
H430
your God.
