Joshua 24:11-33

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

And Joshua
<03091>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

these words
<01697>

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of God
<0430>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

a great
<01419>

stone
<068>_,

and set it up
<06965> (8686)

there under an oak
<0427>_,

that [was] by the sanctuary
<04720>

of the LORD
<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>

depart
<07971> (8762)_,

every man
<0376>

unto his inheritance
<05159>_.

24:29

And it came to pass after
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

that Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

died
<04191> (8799)_,

[being] an hundred
<03967>

and ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_.

24:30

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in the border
<01366>

of his inheritance
<05159>

in Timnathserah
<08556>_,

which [is] in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

on the north side
<06828>

of the hill
<02022>

of Gaash
<01608>_.

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>_.

{overlived...: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua}

24:32

And the bones
<06106>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

which the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

brought up
<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>

of Hamor
<02544>

the father
<01>

of Shechem
<07927>

for an hundred
<03967>

pieces of silver
<07192>_:

and it became the inheritance
<05159>

of the children
<01121>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

{pieces...: or, lambs}

24:33

And Eleazar
<0499>

the son
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>

died
<04191> (8804)_;

and they buried
<06912> (8799)

him in a hill
<01389>

[that pertained to] Phinehas
<06372>

his son
<01121>_,

which was given
<05414> (8738)

him in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_.
