1 Then Joshuaassembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel, and they presented themselves before God.
2 And Joshuasaid to all the people, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your fathers, including Terahthe father of Abrahamand Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates24:2 Hebrew the River; also in verses 3, 14, and 15and worshiped other gods. 3 But I took your father Abrahamfrom beyond the Euphratesand led him through all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac, 4 and to IsaacI gave Jacoband Esau. I gave EsauMount Seirto possess, but Jacoband his sons went down to Egypt.
5 Then I sent Mosesand Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptiansby what I did there, and afterward I brought you out. 6 When I brought your fathers out of Egyptand you reached the Red Sea,24:6 Or the Sea of Reedsthe Egyptianspursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea. 7 So your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the sea and engulfed them. Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
8 Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I delivered them into your hand, that you should possess their land when I destroyed them before you. 9 Then Balakson of Zippor, the king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaamson of Beorto curse you, 10 but I would not listen to Balaam. So he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you from his hand.
11 After this, you crossed the Jordanand came to Jericho. The people of Jerichofought against you, as did the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I delivered them into your hand. 12 I sent the hornet ahead of you, and it drove out the two Amorite kings before you, but not by your own sword or bow. 13 So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities that you did not build, and now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’
Choose Whom You Will Serve
14 Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; cast aside the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphratesand in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!"
16 The people replied, "Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods! 17 For the LORD our God brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us throughout our journey and among all the nations through which we traveled. 18 And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because He is our God!"
19 But Joshuasaid to the people, "You are not able to serve the LORD, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins. 20 If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, He will turn and bring disaster on you and consume you, even after He has been good to you."
21 "No!" replied the people. "We will serve the LORD!"
22 Then Joshuatold them, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the LORD."
"We are witnesses!" they said.
23 "Now, therefore," he said, "get rid of the foreign gods among you and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel."
24 So the people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God and obey His voice."
25 On that day Joshuamade a covenant for the people, and there at Shechemhe established for them a statute and ordinance. 26 Joshuarecorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak24:26 Or terebinththat was near the sanctuary of the LORD. 27 And Joshuasaid to all the people, "You see this stone. It will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God."
28 Then Joshuasent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
Joshua’s Death and Burial
29 Some time later, Joshuason of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110. 30 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath-serah24:30 Timnath-serah is also known as Timnath-heres; see Judges 2:9.in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash. 31 Israel had served the LORD throughout the days of Joshuaand of the elders who outlived him and who had experienced all the works that the LORD had done for Israel.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up out of Egypt, were buried at Shechemin the plot of land that Jacobhad purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver.24:32 Hebrew a hundred kesitahs; the value or weight of the kesitah is no longer known.So it became an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.
33 Eleazarson of Aaronalso died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehasin the hill country of Ephraim.
