And I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it. And Jacob and his children went down into Egypt, and became there a great and numerous and mighty nation, and the Egyptians afflicted them. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in its midst; and afterward I brought you out <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>from Egypt. And you came to the sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen to the Sea at the End. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>When they cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea on them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and you lived in the wilderness many days. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that lived beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand. You possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. He sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still. So I delivered you out of his hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>You went over the Jordan, and came to Jericho. The men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hethite, the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with your sword, nor with your bow. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>I gave you a land whereon you had not labored, and cities which you did not build, and you live in them. You eat of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.'<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth. Put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>If it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>The people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way in which we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>The LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD; for he is our God."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>Joshua said to the people, "You can't serve the LORD; for he is a holy God. He is a jealous God. He will not forgive your disobedience nor your sins. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>If you forsake the LORD, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after he has done you good." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>The people said to Joshua, "No; but we will serve the LORD." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you the LORD, to serve him." They said, "We are witnesses." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>"Now therefore put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>The people said to Joshua, "We will serve the LORD our God, and we will listen to his voice." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Joshua said to all the people, "Look, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD which he spoke to us. It shall be therefore a witness against you, lest you deny your God." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>It happened after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred ten years old. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of the LORD, that he had worked for Israel.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>They buried the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred kesitahs. They became the inheritance of the people of Joseph. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/joshua/24-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>Eleazar the son of Aaron died. They buried him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in the hill country of Ephraim.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
