Joshua 22:1--24:33

22:1

Then Joshua
<03091>

called
<07121> (8799)

the Reubenites
<07206>_,

and the Gadites
<01425>_,

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<04294>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

22:2

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Ye have kept
<08104> (8804)

all that Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

you, and have obeyed
<08085> (8799)

my voice
<06963>

in all that I commanded
<06680> (8765)

you:

22:3

Ye have not left
<05800> (8804)

your brethren
<0251>

these many
<07227>

days
<03117>

unto this day
<03117>_,

but have kept
<08104> (8804)

the charge
<04931>

of the commandment
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

22:4

And now the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given rest
<05117> (8689)

unto your brethren
<0251>_,

as he promised
<01696> (8765)

them: therefore now return
<06437> (8798)

ye, and get
<03212> (8798)

you unto your tents
<0168>_,

[and] unto the land
<0776>

of your possession
<0272>_,

which Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)

you on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_.

22:5

But take diligent
<03966>

heed
<08104> (8798)

to do
<06213> (8800)

the commandment
<04687>

and the law
<08451>_,

which Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

charged
<06680> (8765)

you, to love
<0157> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and to walk
<03212> (8800)

in all his ways
<01870>_,

and to keep
<08104> (8800)

his commandments
<04687>_,

and to cleave
<01692> (8800)

unto him, and to serve
<05647> (8800)

him with all your heart
<03824>

and with all your soul
<05315>_.

22:6

So Joshua
<03091>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

them, and sent them away
<07971> (8762)_:

and they went
<03212> (8799)

unto their tents
<0168>_.

22:7

Now to the [one] half
<02677>

of the tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

Moses
<04872>

had given
<05414> (8804)

[possession] in Bashan
<01316>_:

but unto the [other] half
<02677>

thereof gave
<05414> (8804)

Joshua
<03091>

among
<05973>

their brethren
<0251>

on this side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>

westward
<03220>_.

And when Joshua
<03091>

sent them away
<07971> (8765)

also unto their tents
<0168>_,

then he blessed
<01288> (8762)

them,

22:8

And he spake
<0559> (8799)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Return
<07725> (8798)

with much
<07227>

riches
<05233>

unto your tents
<0168>_,

and with very
<03966>

much
<07227>

cattle
<04735>_,

with silver
<03701>_,

and with gold
<02091>_,

and with brass
<05178>_,

and with iron
<01270>_,

and with very
<03966>

much
<07235> (8687)

raiment
<08008>_:

divide
<02505> (8798)

the spoil
<07998>

of your enemies
<0341> (8802)

with your brethren
<0251>_.

22:9

And the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and departed
<03212> (8799)

from the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of Shiloh
<07887>_,

which [is] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

to go
<03212> (8800)

unto the country
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

to the land
<0776>

of their possession
<0272>_,

whereof they were possessed
<0270> (8738)_,

according to the word
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>

by the hand
<03027>

of Moses
<04872>_.

22:10

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

unto the borders
<01552>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

that [are] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

built
<01129> (8799)

there an altar
<04196>

by Jordan
<03383>_,

a great
<01419>

altar
<04196>

to see to
<04758>_.

22:11

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

say
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

have built
<01129> (8804)

an altar
<04196>

over against
<04136>

the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

in the borders
<01552>

of Jordan
<03383>_,

at the passage
<05676>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:12

And when the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[of it], the whole congregation
<05712>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)

at Shiloh
<07887>_,

to go up
<05927> (8800)

to war
<06635>

against them.

22:13

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and to the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

into the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

Phinehas
<06372>

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>_,

22:14

And with him ten
<06235>

princes
<05387>_,

of each
<0259> <0259>

chief
<05387> <05387>

house
<01004>

a prince
<01>

throughout all the tribes
<04294>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and each one
<0376>

[was] an head
<07218>

of the house
<01004>

of their fathers
<01>

among the thousands
<0505>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{chief...: Heb. house of the father}

22:15

And they came
<0935> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and to the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

unto the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and they spake
<01696> (8762)

with them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

22:16

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the whole congregation
<05712>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

What trespass
<04604>

[is] this that ye have committed
<04603> (8804)

against the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

to turn away
<07725> (8800)

this day
<03117>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

in that ye have builded
<01129> (8800)

you an altar
<04196>_,

that ye might rebel
<04775> (8800)

this day
<03117>

against the LORD
<03068>_?

22:17

[Is] the iniquity
<05771>

of Peor
<06465>

too little
<04592>

for us, from which we are not cleansed
<02891> (8694)

until this day
<03117>_,

although there was a plague
<05063>

in the congregation
<05712>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

22:18

But that ye must turn away
<07725> (8799)

this day
<03117>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_?

and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel
<04775> (8799)

to day
<03117>

against the LORD
<03068>_,

that to morrow
<04279>

he will be wroth
<07107> (8799)

with the whole congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_.

22:19

Notwithstanding
<0389>_,

if the land
<0776>

of your possession
<0272>

[be] unclean
<02931>_,

[then] pass ye over
<05674> (8798)

unto the land
<0776>

of the possession
<0272>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

wherein the LORD'S
<03068>

tabernacle
<04908>

dwelleth
<07931> (8804)_,

and take possession
<0270> (8734)

among
<08432>

us: but rebel
<04775> (8799)

not against the LORD
<03068>_,

nor
<0408>

rebel
<04775> (8799)

against us, in building
<01129> (8800)

you an altar
<04196>

beside
<01107>

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_.

22:20

Did not Achan
<05912>

the son
<01121>

of Zerah
<02226>

commit
<04603> (8804)

a trespass
<04604>

in the accursed thing
<02764>_,

and wrath
<07110>

fell
<01961> (8804)

on all the congregation
<05712>

of Israel
<03478>_?

and that man
<0376>

perished
<01478> (8804)

not alone
<0259>

in his iniquity
<05771>_.

22:21

Then the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the half
<02677>

tribe
<07626>

of Manasseh
<04519>

answered
<06030> (8799)_,

and said
<01696> (8762)

unto the heads
<07218>

of the thousands
<0505>

of Israel
<03478>_,

22:22

The LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of gods
<0430>_,

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0410>

of gods
<0430>_,

he knoweth
<03045> (8802)_,

and Israel
<03478>

he shall know
<03045> (8799)_;

if [it be] in rebellion
<04777>_,

or if in transgression
<04604>

against the LORD
<03068>_,

(save
<03467> (8686)

us not this day
<03117>,)

22:23

That we have built
<01129> (8800)

us an altar
<04196>

to turn
<07725> (8800)

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

or if to offer
<05927> (8687)

thereon burnt offering
<05930>

or meat offering
<04503>_,

or if to offer
<06213> (8800)

peace
<08002>

offerings
<02077>

thereon, let the LORD
<03068>

himself require
<01245> (8762)

[it];

22:24

And if we have not [rather] done
<06213> (8804)

it for fear
<01674>

of [this] thing
<01697>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

In time to come
<04279>

your children
<01121>

might speak
<0559> (8799)

unto our children
<01121>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What have ye to do with the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_?

{In time...: Heb. To morrow}

22:25

For the LORD
<03068>

hath made
<05414> (8804)

Jordan
<03383>

a border
<01366>

between us and you, ye children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_;

ye have no part
<02506>

in the LORD
<03068>_:

so shall your children
<01121>

make
<07673> (0)

our children
<01121>

cease
<07673> (8689)

from
<01115>

fearing
<03372> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_.

22:26

Therefore we said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us now prepare
<06213> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

us an altar
<04196>_,

not for burnt offering
<05930>_,

nor for sacrifice
<02077>_:

22:27

But [that] it [may be] a witness
<05707>

between us, and you, and our generations
<01755>

after
<0310>

us, that we might do
<05647> (8800)

the service
<05656>

of the LORD
<03068>

before
<06440>

him with our burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and with our sacrifices
<02077>_,

and with our peace offerings
<08002>_;

that your children
<01121>

may not say
<0559> (8799)

to our children
<01121>

in time to come
<04279>_,

Ye have no part
<02506>

in the LORD
<03068>_.

22:28

Therefore said
<0559> (8799)

we, that it shall be, when they should [so] say
<0559> (8799)

to us or to our generations
<01755>

in time to come
<04279>_,

that we may say
<0559> (8804)

[again], Behold
<07200> (8798)

the pattern
<08403>

of the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

which our fathers
<01>

made
<06213> (8804)_,

not for burnt offerings
<05930>_,

nor for sacrifices
<02077>_;

but it [is] a witness
<05707>

between us and you.

22:29

God forbid
<02486>

that we should rebel
<04775> (8800)

against the LORD
<03068>_,

and turn
<07725> (8800)

this day
<03117>

from following
<0310>

the LORD
<03068>_,

to build
<01129> (8800)

an altar
<04196>

for burnt offerings
<05930>_,

for meat offerings
<04503>_,

or for sacrifices
<02077>_,

beside the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

that [is] before
<06440>

his tabernacle
<04908>_.

22:30

And when Phinehas
<06372>

the priest
<03548>_,

and the princes
<05387>

of the congregation
<05712>

and heads
<07218>

of the thousands
<0505>

of Israel
<03478>

which [were] with him, heard
<08085> (8799)

the words
<01697>

that the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

and the children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>

spake
<01696> (8765)_,

it pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

them. {pleased...: Heb. was good in their eyes}

22:31

And Phinehas
<06372>

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

and to the children
<01121>

of Manasseh
<04519>_,

This day
<03117>

we perceive
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

[is] among
<08432>

us, because ye have not committed
<04603> (8804)

this trespass
<04604>

against the LORD
<03068>_:

now
<0227>

ye have delivered
<05337> (8689)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

out of the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{now: Heb. then}

22:32

And Phinehas
<06372>

the son
<01121>

of Eleazar
<0499>

the priest
<03548>_,

and the princes
<05387>_,

returned
<07725> (8799)

from the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>_,

and from the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>_,

out of the land
<0776>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

unto the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

to the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and brought
<07725> (0)

them word
<01697>

again
<07725> (8686)_.

22:33

And the thing
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_;

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

God
<0430>_,

and did not intend
<0559> (8804)

to go up
<05927> (8800)

against them in battle
<06635>_,

to destroy
<07843> (8763)

the land
<0776>

wherein the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and Gad
<01410>

dwelt
<03427> (8802)_.

22:34

And the children
<01121>

of Reuben
<07205>

and the children
<01121>

of Gad
<01410>

called
<07121> (8799)

the altar
<04196>

[Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness
<05707>

between us that the LORD
<03068>

[is] God
<0430>_.

{Ed: that is, A witness}

23:1

And it came to pass a long
<07227>

time
<03117>

after
<0310>

that the LORD
<03068>

had given rest
<05117> (8689)

unto Israel
<03478>

from all their enemies
<0341> (8802)

round about
<05439>_,

that Joshua
<03091>

waxed old
<02204> (8804)

[and] stricken
<0935> (8804)

in age
<03117>_.

{stricken...: Heb. come into days}

23:2

And Joshua
<03091>

called
<07121> (8799)

for all Israel
<03478>_,

[and] for their elders
<02205>_,

and for their heads
<07218>_,

and for their judges
<08199> (8802)_,

and for their officers
<07860> (8802)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I am old
<02204> (8804)

[and] stricken
<0935> (8804)

in age
<03117>_:

23:3

And ye have seen
<07200> (8804)

all that the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

unto all these nations
<01471>

because
<06440>

of you; for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[is] he that hath fought
<03898> (8737)

for you.

23:4

Behold
<07200> (8798)_,

I have divided
<05307> (8689)

unto you by lot these nations
<01471>

that remain
<07604> (8737)_,

to be an inheritance
<05159>

for your tribes
<07626>_,

from Jordan
<03383>_,

with all the nations
<01471>

that I have cut off
<03772> (8689)_,

even unto the great
<01419>

sea
<03220>

westward
<03996> <08121>_.

{westward: Heb. at the sunset}

23:5

And the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

he shall expel
<01920> (8799)

them from before
<06440>

you, and drive
<03423> (8689)

them from out of your sight
<06440>_;

and ye shall possess
<03423> (8804)

their land
<0776>_,

as the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath promised
<01696> (8765)

unto you.

23:6

Be ye therefore very
<03966>

courageous
<02388> (8804)

to keep
<08104> (8800)

and to do
<06213> (8800)

all that is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

that ye turn
<05493> (8800)

not aside therefrom [to] the right hand
<03225>

or [to] the left
<08040>_;

23:7

That ye come
<0935> (8800)

not among these nations
<01471>_,

these that remain
<07604> (8737)

among you; neither make mention
<02142> (8686)

of the name
<08034>

of their gods
<0430>_,

nor cause to swear
<07650> (8686)

[by them], neither serve
<05647> (8799)

them, nor bow
<07812> (8691)

yourselves unto them:

23:8

But cleave
<01692> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

as ye have done
<06213> (8804)

unto this day
<03117>_.

{But cleave...: or, For if ye will cleave, etc}

23:9

For the LORD
<03068>

hath driven out
<03423> (8686)

from before
<06440>

you great
<01419>

nations
<01471>

and strong
<06099>_:

but [as for] you, no man
<0376>

hath been able to stand
<05975> (8804)

before
<06440>

you unto this day
<03117>_.

{For the LORD...: or, Then the LORD will drive}

23:10

One
<0259>

man
<0376>

of you shall chase
<07291> (8799)

a thousand
<0505>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

he [it is] that fighteth
<03898> (8737)

for you, as he hath promised
<01696> (8765)

you.

23:11

Take good
<03966>

heed
<08104> (8738)

therefore unto yourselves
<05315>_,

that ye love
<0157> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

{yourselves: Heb. your souls}

23:12

Else if ye do in any wise
<07725> (8800)

go back
<07725> (8799)_,

and cleave
<01692> (8804)

unto the remnant
<03499>

of these nations
<01471>_,

[even] these that remain
<07604> (8737)

among you, and shall make marriages
<02859> (8694)

with them, and go in
<0935> (8804)

unto them, and they to you:

23:13

Know
<03045> (8799)

for a certainty
<03045> (8800)

that the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

will no more
<03254> (8686)

drive out
<03423> (8687)

[any of] these nations
<01471>

from before
<06440>

you; but they shall be snares
<06341>

and traps
<04170>

unto you, and scourges
<07850>

in your sides
<06654>_,

and thorns
<06796>

in your eyes
<05869>_,

until ye perish
<06> (8800)

from off this good
<02896>

land
<0127>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you.

23:14

And, behold, this day
<03117>

I [am] going
<01980> (8802)

the way
<01870>

of all the earth
<0776>_:

and ye know
<03045> (8804)

in all your hearts
<03824>

and in all your souls
<05315>_,

that not one
<0259>

thing
<01697>

hath failed
<05307> (8804)

of all the good
<02896>

things
<01697>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

spake
<01696> (8765)

concerning you; all are come to pass
<0935> (8804)

unto you, [and] not one
<0259>

thing
<01697>

hath failed
<05307> (8804)

thereof.

23:15

Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good
<02896>

things
<01697>

are come
<0935> (8804)

upon you, which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

promised
<01696> (8765)

you; so shall the LORD
<03068>

bring
<0935> (8686)

upon you all evil
<07451>

things
<01697>_,

until he have destroyed
<08045> (8687)

you from off this good
<02896>

land
<0127>

which the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you.

23:16

When ye have transgressed
<05674> (8800)

the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

you, and have gone
<01980> (8804)

and served
<05647> (8804)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8694)

yourselves to them; then shall the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

be kindled
<02734> (8804)

against you, and ye shall perish
<06> (8804)

quickly
<04120>

from off the good
<02896>

land
<0776>

which he hath given
<05414> (8804)

unto you.

24:1

And Joshua
<03091>

gathered
<0622> (8799)

all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

to Shechem
<07927>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

for the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and for their heads
<07218>_,

and for their judges
<08199> (8802)_,

and for their officers
<07860> (8802)_;

and they presented
<03320> (8691)

themselves before
<06440>

God
<0430>_.

24:2

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Your fathers
<01>

dwelt
<03427> (8804)

on the other side
<05676>

of the flood
<05104>

in old time
<05769>_,

[even] Terah
<08646>_,

the father
<01>

of Abraham
<085>_,

and the father
<01>

of Nachor
<05152>_:

and they served
<05647> (8799)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_.

24:3

And I took
<03947> (8799)

your father
<01>

Abraham
<085>

from the other side
<05676>

of the flood
<05104>_,

and led
<03212> (8686)

him throughout all the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and multiplied
<07235> (8686)

his seed
<02233>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

him Isaac
<03327>_.

24:4

And I gave
<05414> (8799)

unto Isaac
<03327>

Jacob
<03290>

and Esau
<06215>_:

and I gave
<05414> (8799)

unto Esau
<06215>

mount
<02022>

Seir
<08165>_,

to possess
<03423> (8800)

it; but Jacob
<03290>

and his children
<01121>

went down
<03381> (8804)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

24:5

I sent
<07971> (8799)

Moses
<04872>

also and Aaron
<0175>_,

and I plagued
<05062> (8799)

Egypt
<04714>_,

according to that which
<0834>

I did
<06213> (8804)

among
<07130>

them: and afterward
<0310>

I brought you out
<03318> (8689)_.

24:6

And I brought
<03318> (8686)

your fathers
<01>

out of Egypt
<04714>_:

and ye came
<0935> (8799)

unto the sea
<03220>_;

and the Egyptians
<04714>

pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

your fathers
<01>

with chariots
<07393>

and horsemen
<06571>

unto the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_.

24:7

And when they cried
<06817> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

he put
<07760> (8799)

darkness
<03990>

between you and the Egyptians
<04713>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

the sea
<03220>

upon them, and covered
<03680> (8762)

them; and your eyes
<05869>

have seen
<07200> (8799)

what I have done
<06213> (8804)

in Egypt
<04714>_:

and ye dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>

a long
<07227>

season
<03117>_.

24:8

And I brought
<0935> (8686)

you into the land
<0776>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_;

and they fought
<03898> (8735)

with you: and I gave
<05414> (8799)

them into your hand
<03027>_,

that ye might possess
<03423> (8799)

their land
<0776>_;

and I destroyed
<08045> (8686)

them from before
<06440>

you.

24:9

Then Balak
<01111>

the son
<01121>

of Zippor
<06834>_,

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_,

arose
<06965> (8799)

and warred
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Balaam
<01109>

the son
<01121>

of Beor
<01160>

to curse
<07043> (8763)

you:

24:10

But I would
<014> (8804)

not hearken
<08085> (8800)

unto Balaam
<01109>_;

therefore he blessed
<01288> (8762)

you still
<01288> (8800)_:

so I delivered
<05337> (8686)

you out of his hand
<03027>_.

24:11

And ye went over
<05674> (8799)

Jordan
<03383>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto Jericho
<03405>_:

and the men
<01167>

of Jericho
<03405>

fought
<03898> (8735)

against you, the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

the Hivites
<02340>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_;

and I delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into your hand
<03027>_.

24:12

And I sent
<07971> (8799)

the hornet
<06880>

before
<06440>

you, which drave them out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

you, [even] the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_;

[but] not with thy sword
<02719>_,

nor with thy bow
<07198>_.

24:13

And I have given
<05414> (8799)

you a land
<0776>

for which ye did not labour
<03021> (8804)_,

and cities
<05892>

which ye built
<01129> (8804)

not, and ye dwell
<03427> (8799)

in them; of the vineyards
<03754>

and oliveyards
<02132>

which ye planted
<05193> (8804)

not do ye eat
<0398> (8802)_.

24:14

Now therefore fear
<03372> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and serve
<05647> (8798)

him in sincerity
<08549>

and in truth
<0571>_:

and put away
<05493> (8685)

the gods
<0430>

which your fathers
<01>

served
<05647> (8804)

on the other side
<05676>

of the flood
<05104>_,

and in Egypt
<04714>_;

and serve
<05647> (8798)

ye the LORD
<03068>_.

24:15

And if it seem evil
<07489> (8804)

unto you
<04310>

to serve
<05647> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_,

choose
<0977> (8798)

you this day
<03117>

whom
<05869>

ye will serve
<05647> (8799)_;

whether the gods
<0430>

which your fathers
<01>

served
<05647> (8804)

that [were] on the other side
<05676>

of the flood
<05104>_,

or the gods
<0430>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

in whose land
<0776>

ye dwell
<03427> (8802)_:

but as for me and my house
<01004>_,

we will serve
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_.

24:16

And the people
<05971>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

God forbid
<02486>

that we should forsake
<05800> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_,

to serve
<05647> (8800)

other
<0312>

gods
<0430>_;

24:17

For the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

he [it is] that brought us up
<05927> (8688)

and our fathers
<01>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

from the house
<01004>

of bondage
<05650>_,

and which did
<06213> (8804)

those great
<01419>

signs
<0226>

in our sight
<05869>_,

and preserved
<08104> (8799)

us in all the way
<01870>

wherein we went
<01980> (8804)_,

and among all the people
<05971>

through
<07130>

whom we passed
<05674> (8804)_:

24:18

And the LORD
<03068>

drave out
<01644> (8762)

from before
<06440>

us all the people
<05971>_,

even the Amorites
<0567>

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_:

[therefore] will we also serve
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_;

for he [is] our God
<0430>_.

24:19

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Ye cannot
<03201> (8799)

serve
<05647> (8800)

the LORD
<03068>_:

for he [is] an holy
<06918>

God
<0430>_;

he [is] a jealous
<07072>

God
<0410>_;

he will not forgive
<05375> (8799)

your transgressions
<06588>

nor your sins
<02403>_.

{holy God: Heb. holy Gods}

24:20

If ye forsake
<05800> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and serve
<05647> (8804)

strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>_,

then he will turn
<07725> (8804)

and do you hurt
<07489> (8689)_,

and consume
<03615> (8765)

you, after
<0310>

that he hath done you good
<03190> (8689)_.

24:21

And the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Nay; but we will serve
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_.

24:22

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the people
<05971>_,

Ye [are] witnesses
<05707>

against yourselves that ye have chosen
<0977> (8804)

you the LORD
<03068>_,

to serve
<05647> (8800)

him. And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

[We are] witnesses
<05707>_.

24:23

Now therefore put away
<05493> (8685)_,

[said he], the strange
<05236>

gods
<0430>

which [are] among
<07130>

you, and incline
<05186> (8685)

your heart
<03824>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

24:24

And the people
<05971>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

The LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

will we serve
<05647> (8799)_,

and his voice
<06963>

will we obey
<08085> (8799)_.

24:25

So Joshua
<03091>

made
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with the people
<05971>

that day
<03117>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

them a statute
<02706>

and an ordinance
<04941>

in Shechem
<07927>_.

24:26

<03789> (8799)

these words
<01697>

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of God
<0430>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

a great
<01419>

<068>_,

and set it up
<06965> (8686)

there under an oak

<03068>_.

24:27

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

Behold, this stone
<068>

shall be a witness
<05713>

unto us; for it hath heard
<08085> (8804)

all the words
<0561>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he spake
<01696> (8765)

unto us: it shall be therefore a witness
<05713>

unto you, lest ye deny
<03584> (8762)

your God
<0430>_.

24:28

So Joshua
<03091>

let the people
<05971>

<07971> (8762)_,

every man

<06828>

of the hill
<02022>

24:31

And Israel
<03478>

served
<05647> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

all the days
<03117>

of Joshua
<03091>_,

and all the days
<03117>

of the elders
<02205>

that overlived
<0748> (8689) <03117> <0310>

Joshua
<03091>_,

and which had known
<03045> (8804)

all the works
<04639>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that he had done
<06213> (8804)

for Israel
<03478>_.

<06106>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

which the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

<05927> (8689)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

buried
<06912> (8804)

they in Shechem
<07927>_,

in a parcel
<02513>

of ground
<07704>

which Jacob
<03290>

bought
<07069> (8804)

of the sons
<01121>

<02544>

the father
<01>

of Shechem
<07927>

for an hundred
<03967>

pieces of silver
<07192>_:

and it became the inheritance
<05159>

of the children
