Joshua 24:13 (NET) New English Translation

1 Joshua assembled all the Israelite tribes at Shechem. He summoned Israel's elders, rulers, judges, and leaders, and they appeared before God.
2 Joshua told all the people, "Here is what the LORD God of Israel says: 'In the distant past your ancestors lived beyond the Euphrates River, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor. They worshiped other gods,
3 but I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and brought him into the entire land of Canaan. I made his descendants numerous; I gave him Isaac,
4 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I assigned Mount Seir, while Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I struck Egypt down when I intervened in their land. Then I brought you out.
6 When I brought your fathers out of Egypt, you arrived at the sea. The Egyptians chased your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
7 Your fathers cried out for help to the LORD; he made the area between you and the Egyptians dark, and then drowned them in the sea. You witnessed with your very own eyes what I did in Egypt. You lived in the wilderness for a long time.
8 Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived east of the Jordan. They fought with you, but I handed them over to you; you conquered their land and I destroyed them from before you.
9 Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, launched an attack against Israel. He summoned Balaam son of Beor to call down judgment on you.
10 I refused to respond to Balaam; he kept prophesying good things about you, and I rescued you from his power.
11 You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The leaders of Jericho, as well as the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, fought with you, but I handed them over to you.
12 I sent terror ahead of you to drive out before you the two Amorite kings. I gave you the victory; it was not by your swords or bows.
13 I gave you a land in which you had not worked hard; you took up residence in cities you did not build and you are eating the produce of vineyards and olive groves you did not plant.'
14 Now obey the LORD and worship him with integrity and loyalty. Put aside the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt and worship the LORD.
15 If you have no desire to worship the LORD, choose today whom you will worship, whether it be the gods whom your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But I and my family will worship the LORD!"
16 The people responded, "Far be it from us to abandon the LORD so we can worship other gods!
17 For the LORD our God took us and our fathers out of slavery in the land of Egypt and performed these awesome miracles before our very eyes. He continually protected us as we traveled and when we passed through nations.
18 The LORD drove out from before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship the LORD, for he is our God!"
19 Joshua warned the people, "You will not keep worshiping the LORD, for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God who will not forgive your rebellion or your sins.
20 If you abandon the LORD and worship foreign gods, he will turn against you; he will bring disaster on you and destroy you, though he once treated you well."
21 The people said to Joshua, "No! We really will worship the LORD!"
22 Joshua said to the people, "Do you agree to be witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to worship the LORD?" They replied, "We are witnesses!"
23 Joshua said, "Now put aside the foreign gods that are among you and submit to the LORD God of Israel."
24 The people said to Joshua, "We will worship the LORD our God and obey him."
25 That day Joshua drew up an agreement for the people, and he established rules and regulations for them in Shechem.
26 Joshua wrote these words in the Law Scroll of God. He then took a large stone and set it up there under the oak tree near the LORD's shrine.
27 Joshua said to all the people, "Look, this stone will be a witness against you, for it has heard everything the LORD said to us. It will be a witness against you if you deny your God."
28 When Joshua dismissed the people, they went to their allotted portions of land.
29 After all this Joshua son of Nun, the LORD's servant, died at the age of one hundred ten.
30 They buried him in his allotted territory in Timnath Serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
31 Israel worshiped the LORD throughout Joshua's lifetime and as long as the elderly men who outlived him remained alive. These men had experienced firsthand everything the LORD had done for Israel.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the part of the field that Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of money. So it became the inheritance of the tribe of Joseph.
33 Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they buried him in Gibeah in the hill country of Ephraim, where his son Phinehas had been assigned land.
1 And Joshua H3091 gathered H622 all H3605 NMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to Shechem H7927 , and called H7121 W-VQY3MS for the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , and for their heads H7218 , and for their judges H8199 , and for their officers H7860 ; and they presented themselves H3320 before H6440 L-CMP God H430 .
2 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 NAME-4MP of Israel H3478 , Your fathers H1 dwelt H3427 VQQ3MP on the other side H5676 of the flood H5104 D-NMS in old time H5769 , even Terah H8646 EMS , the father H1 CMS-1MS of Abraham H85 , and the father H1 of Nachor H5152 EMS : and they served H5647 other H312 gods H430 EDP .
3 And I took H3947 your father H1 Abraham H85 from the other side H5676 M-CMS of the flood H5104 D-NMS , and led H1980 him throughout all H3605 B-CMS the land H776 GFS of Canaan H3667 EMS , and multiplied H7235 his seed H2233 NMS-3MS , and gave H5414 him Isaac H3327 .
4 And I gave H5414 unto Isaac H3327 Jacob H3290 and Esau H6215 : and I gave H5414 unto Esau H6215 mount H2022 CMS Seir H8165 LFS , to possess H3423 it ; but Jacob H3290 and his children H1121 W-CMP-3MS went down H3381 into Egypt H4714 .
5 I sent H7971 Moses H4872 also and Aaron H175 , and I plagued H5062 Egypt H4714 EFS , according to that which H834 K-RPRO I did H6213 VQQ1MS among H7130 them : and afterward H310 W-ADV I brought you out H3318 .
6 And I brought your fathers out H3318 of Egypt H4714 M-TFS : and ye came H935 unto the sea H3220 ; and the Egyptians H4714 M-TFS pursued H7291 after H310 PREP your fathers H1 with chariots H7393 and horsemen H6571 unto the Red H5488 sea H3220 .
7 And when they cried H6817 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , he put H7760 W-VQY3MS darkness H3990 between H996 W-PREP you and the Egyptians H4713 D-TMP , and brought H935 W-VHY3MS the sea H3220 D-NMS upon H5921 PREP-3MS them , and covered H3680 them ; and your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 what H834 RPRO I have done H6213 VQQ1MS in Egypt H4714 : and ye dwelt H3427 in the wilderness H4057 a long H7227 AMP season H3117 NMP .
8 And I brought H935 you into H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , which dwelt H3427 on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS ; and they fought H3898 with H854 PART-2MP you : and I gave H5414 them into your hand H3027 B-CFS-2MP , that ye might possess H3423 their land H776 ; and I destroyed H8045 them from before H6440 you .
9 Then Balak H1111 the son H1121 of Zippor H6834 , king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 , arose H6965 W-VQY3MS and warred H3898 against Israel H3478 , and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS and called H7121 W-VQY3MS Balaam H1109 the son H1121 of Beor H1160 to curse H7043 L-VPFC you :
10 But I would H14 not H3808 W-NPAR hearken H8085 unto Balaam H1109 ; therefore he blessed H1288 W-VNY3MS you still : so I delivered H5337 you out of his hand H3027 .
11 And ye went over H5674 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , and came H935 unto H413 PREP Jericho H3405 : and the men H1167 of Jericho H3405 fought H3898 against you , the Amorites H567 , and the Perizzites H6522 WD-EMS , and the Canaanites H3669 WD-EMS , and the Hittites H2850 , and the Girgashites H1622 , the Hivites H2340 D-TMS , and the Jebusites H2983 ; and I delivered H5414 them into your hand H3027 .
12 And I sent H7971 the hornet H6880 before H6440 you , which drove them out H1644 from before H6440 you , even the two H8147 ONUM kings H4428 CMP of the Amorites H567 D-TMS ; but not H3808 NADV with thy sword H2719 , nor H3808 W-NADV with thy bow H7198 .
13 And I have given H5414 you a land H776 GFS for which H834 RPRO ye did not H3808 ADV labor H3021 , and cities H5892 which H834 RPRO ye built H1129 not H3808 NADV , and ye dwell H3427 in them ; of the vineyards H3754 and oliveyards H2132 which H834 RPRO ye planted H5193 not H3808 ADV do ye H859 PPRO-2MS eat H398 .
14 Now therefore H6258 W-ADV fear H3372 the LORD H3068 EDS , and serve H5647 him in sincerity H8549 and in truth H571 : and put away H5493 the gods H430 EDP which H834 RPRO your fathers H1 served H5647 VQQ3MP on the other side H5676 of the flood H5104 D-NMS , and in Egypt H4714 ; and serve H5647 ye the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
15 And if H518 PART it seem evil H7489 unto you H5869 to serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS , choose H977 you this day H3117 D-AMS whom H4310 IPRO ye will serve H5647 ; whether H518 PART the gods H430 EDP which H834 RPRO your fathers H1 served H5647 VQQ3MP that H834 RPRO were on the other side H5676 of the flood H5104 D-NMS , or H518 PART the gods H430 NAME-4MP of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , in whose land H776 ye H859 PPRO-2MS dwell H3427 : but as for me H595 W-PPRO-1MS and my house H1004 , we will serve H5647 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
16 And the people H5971 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , God forbid H2486 IJEC-3FS that we should forsake H5800 the LORD H3068 EDS , to serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 EDP ;
17 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS it is that brought H5927 us up and our fathers H1 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , from the house H1004 of bondage H5650 NMP , and which H834 RPRO did H6213 VQQ3MS those H428 D-DPRO-3MP great H1419 signs H226 in our sight H5869 , and preserved H8104 us in all H3605 B-CMS the way H1870 D-NMS wherein H834 RPRO we went H1980 , and among all H3605 the people H5971 through H7130 whom we passed H5674 :
18 And the LORD H3068 EDS drove out H1644 W-VPQ3MS from before H6440 us all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , even the Amorites H567 D-TMS which dwelt H3427 VQPMS in the land H776 D-GFS : therefore will we H587 PPRO-1MP also H1571 CONJ serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS ; for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is our God H430 .
19 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , Ye cannot H3808 NADV serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a holy H6918 God H430 EDP ; he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a jealous H7072 God H410 NMS ; he will not H3808 ADV forgive H5375 VQY3MS your transgressions H6588 nor your sins H2403 .
20 If H3588 CONJ ye forsake H5800 the LORD H3068 EDS , and serve H5647 strange H5236 gods H430 CDP , then he will turn H7725 W-VQQ3MS and do you hurt H7489 , and consume H3615 you , after H310 PREP that H834 RPRO he hath done you good H3190 VHQ3MS .
21 And the people H5971 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , Nay H3808 NADV ; but H3588 CONJ we will serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS .
22 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , Ye H859 PPRO-2MS are witnesses H5707 against yourselves that H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS have chosen H977 you the LORD H3068 EDS , to serve H5647 him . And they said H559 W-VQY3MS , We are witnesses H5707 .
23 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore put away H5493 , said he , the strange H5236 gods H430 CDP which H834 RPRO are among H7130 you , and incline H5186 your heart H3824 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 LMS .
24 And the people H5971 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , The LORD H3068 EDS our God H430 will we serve H5647 , and his voice H6963 will we obey H8085 .
25 So Joshua H3091 made H3772 a covenant H1285 NFS with the people H5971 that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , and set H7760 W-VQY3MS them a statute H2706 NMS and an ordinance H4941 W-NMS in Shechem H7927 .
26 And Joshua H3091 wrote H3789 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP in the book H5612 of the law H8451 CFS of God H430 EDP , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS a great H1419 AMS-3FS stone H68 GFS , and set it up H6965 there H8033 under H8478 NMS an oak H427 , that H834 RPRO was by the sanctuary H4720 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
27 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , Behold H2009 IJEC , this H2063 D-DFS stone H68 shall be H1961 VQY2MS a witness H5713 unto us ; for H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3FS hath heard H8085 VQQ3FS all H3605 NMS the words H561 CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS which H834 RPRO he spoke H1696 VPQ3MS unto H5973 PREP-1MP us : it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3FS therefore a witness H5713 unto you , lest H6435 ye deny H3584 your God H430 .
28 So Joshua H3091 let the people H5971 depart H7971 W-VPY3MS , every man H376 NMS unto his inheritance H5159 .
29 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS after H310 ADV these H428 D-DPRO-3MP things H1697 AMP , that Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 , the servant H5650 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , died H4191 W-VQY3MS , being a hundred H3967 MFS and ten H6235 years old H8141 .
30 And they buried H6912 him in the border H1366 of his inheritance H5159 in Timnathserah H8556 , which H834 RPRO is in mount H2022 Ephraim H669 , on the north side H6828 of the hill H2022 of Gaash H1608 .
31 And Israel H3478 served H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of Joshua H3091 , and all H3605 NMS the days H3117 CMP of the elders H2205 that H834 RPRO overlived H748 Joshua H3091 , and which H834 RPRO had known H3045 VQQ3MP all H3605 NMS the works H4639 M-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , that H834 RPRO he had done H6213 VQQ3MS for Israel H3478 .
32 And the bones H6106 of Joseph H3130 , which H834 RPRO the children H1121 CMP of Israel H3478 brought up H5927 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , buried H6912 they in Shechem H7927 , in a parcel H2513 of ground H7704 D-NMS which H834 RPRO Jacob H3290 bought H7069 of the sons H1121 of Hamor H2544 the father H1 CMS of Shechem H7928 for a hundred H3967 pieces of silver H7192 NFS : and it became H1961 W-VQY3MP the inheritance H5159 of the children H1121 of Joseph H3130 .
33 And Eleazar H499 the son H1121 of Aaron H175 died H4191 ; and they buried H6912 him in a hill H1389 that pertained to Phinehas H6372 his son H1121 CMS-3MS , which H834 RPRO was given H5414 him in mount H2022 Ephraim H669 .
