Chapter 24
And
Joshua
gathered
all
the
tribes
of
Israel
to
Shechem,
and
called
for
the
elders
of
Israel,
and
for
their
heads,
and
for
their
judges,
and
for
their
officers;
and
they
presented
themselves
before
God.
2
And
Joshua
said
unto
all
the
people,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
Your
fathers
dwelt
on
the
other
side
of
the
flood
in
old
time,
even
Terah,
the
father
of
Abraham,
and
the
father
of
Nachor:
and
they
served
other
gods.
3
And
I
took
your
father
Abraham
from
the
other
side
of
the
flood,
and
led
him
throughout
all
the
land
of
Canaan,
and
multiplied
his
seed,
and
gave
him
Isaac.
4
And
I
gave
unto
Isaac
Jacob
and
Esau:
and
I
gave
unto
Esau
mount
Seir,
to
possess
it;
but
Jacob
and
his
children
went
down
into
Egypt.
5
I
sent
Moses
also
and
Aaron,
and
I
plagued
Egypt,
according
to
that
which
I
did
among
them:
and
afterward
I
brought
you
out.
6
And
I
brought
your
fathers
out
of
Egypt:
and
ye
came
unto
the
sea;
and
the
Egyptians
pursued
after
your
fathers
with
chariots
and
horsemen
unto
the
Red
sea.
7
And
when
they
cried
unto
the
Lord,
he
put
darkness
between
you
and
the
Egyptians,
and
brought
the
sea
upon
them,
and
covered
them;
and
your
eyes
have
seen
what
I
have
done
in
Egypt:
and
ye
dwelt
in
the
wilderness
a
long
season.
8
And
I
brought
you
into
the
land
of
the
Amorites,
which
dwelt
on
the
other
side
Jordan;
and
they
fought
with
you:
and
I
gave
them
into
your
hand,
that
ye
might
possess
their
land;
and
I
destroyed
them
from
before
you.
9
Then
Balak
the
son
of
Zippor,
king
of
Moab,
arose
and
warred
against
Israel,
and
sent
and
called
Balaam
the
son
of
Beor
to
curse
you:
10
But
I
would
not
hearken
unto
Balaam;
therefore
he
blessed
you
still:
so
I
delivered
you
out
of
his
hand.
11
And
ye
went
over
Jordan,
and
came
unto
Jericho:
and
the
men
of
Jericho
fought
against
you,
the
Amorites,
and
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Canaanites,
and
the
Hittites,
and
the
Girgashites,
the
Hivites,
and
the
Jebusites;
and
I
delivered
them
into
your
hand.
12
And
I
sent
the
hornet
before
you,
which
drave
them
out
from
before
you,
even
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites;
but
not
with
thy
sword,
nor
with
thy
bow.
13
And
I
have
given
you
a
land
for
which
ye
did
not
labour,
and
cities
which
ye
built
not,
and
ye
dwell
in
them;
of
the
vineyards
and
oliveyards
which
ye
planted
not
do
ye
eat.
14
Now
therefore
fear
the
Lord,
and
serve
him
in
sincerity
and
in
truth:
and
put
away
the
gods
which
your
fathers
served
on
the
other
side
of
the
flood,
and
in
Egypt;
and
serve
ye
the
Lord.
15
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.
16
And
the
people
answered
and
said,
God
forbid
that
we
should
forsake
the
Lord,
to
serve
other
gods;
17
For
the
Lord
our
God,
he
it
is
that
brought
us
up
and
our
fathers
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt,
from
the
house
of
bondage,
and
which
did
those
great
signs
in
our
sight,
and
preserved
us
in
all
the
way
wherein
we
went,
and
among
all
the
people
through
whom
we
passed:
18
And
the
Lord
drave
out
from
before
us
all
the
people,
even
the
Amorites
which
dwelt
in
the
land:
therefore
will
we
also
serve
the
Lord;
for
he
is
our
God.
19
And
Joshua
said
unto
the
people,
Ye
cannot
serve
the
Lord:
for
he
is
an
holy
God;
he
is
a
jealous
God;
he
will
not
forgive
your
transgressions
nor
your
sins.
20
If
ye
forsake
the
Lord,
and
serve
strange
gods,
then
he
will
turn
and
do
you
hurt,
and
consume
you,
after
that
he
hath
done
you
good.
21
And
the
people
said
unto
Joshua,
Nay;
but
we
will
serve
the
Lord.
22
And
Joshua
said
unto
the
people,
Ye
are
witnesses
against
yourselves
that
ye
have
chosen
you
the
Lord,
to
serve
him.
And
they
said,
We
are
witnesses.
23
Now
therefore
put
away,
said
he,
the
strange
gods
which
are
among
you,
and
incline
your
heart
unto
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
24
And
the
people
said
unto
Joshua,
The
Lord
our
God
will
we
serve,
and
his
voice
will
we
obey.
25
So
Joshua
made
a
covenant
with
the
people
that
day,
and
set
them
a
statute
and
an
ordinance
in
Shechem.
26
And
Joshua
wrote
these
words
in
the
book
of
the
law
of
God,
and
took
a
great
stone,
and
set
it
up
there
under
an
oak,
that
was
by
the
sanctuary
of
the
Lord.
27
And
Joshua
said
unto
all
the
people,
Behold,
this
stone
shall
be
a
witness
unto
us;
for
it
hath
heard
all
the
words
of
the
Lord
which
he
spake
unto
us:
it
shall
be
therefore
a
witness
unto
you,
lest
ye
deny
your
God.
28
So
Joshua
let
the
people
depart,
every
man
unto
his
inheritance.
29
And
it
came
to
pass
after
these
things,
that
Joshua
the
son
of
Nun,
the
servant
of
the
Lord,
died,
being
an
hundred
and
ten
years
old.
30
And
they
buried
him
in
the
border
of
his
inheritance
in
Timnath-serah,
which
is
in
mount
Ephraim,
on
the
north
side
of
the
hill
of
Gaash.
31
And
Israel
served
the
Lord
all
the
days
of
Joshua,
and
all
the
days
of
the
elders
that
overlived
Joshua,
and
which
had
known
all
the
works
of
the
Lord,
that
he
had
done
for
Israel.
32
And
the
bones
of
Joseph,
which
the
children
of
Israel
brought
up
out
of
Egypt,
buried
they
in
Shechem,
in
a
parcel
of
ground
which
Jacob
bought
of
the
sons
of
Hamor
the
father
of
Shechem
for
an
hundred
pieces
of
silver:
and
it
became
the
inheritance
of
the
children
of
Joseph.
33
And
Eleazar
the
son
of
Aaron
died;
and
they
buried
him
in
a
hill
that
pertained
to
Phinehas
his
son,
which
was
given
him
in
mount
Ephraim.
