And JoshuaH3091 gatheredH622 all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to ShechemH7927, and calledH7121 for the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199, and for their officersH7860; and they presentedH3320 themselves beforeH6440 GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your fathersH1 dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104 in old timeH5769, even TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85, and the fatherH1 of NachorH5152: and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430.
And I tookH3947 your fatherH1 AbrahamH85 from the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and ledH3212 him throughout all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, and multipliedH7235 his seedH2233, and gaveH5414 him IsaacH3327.
And I gaveH5414 unto IsaacH3327 JacobH3290 and EsauH6215: and I gaveH5414 unto EsauH6215 mountH2022 SeirH8165, to possessH3423 it; but JacobH3290 and his childrenH1121 went downH3381 into EgyptH4714.
I sentH7971 MosesH4872 also and AaronH175, and I plaguedH5062 EgyptH4714, according to that whichH834 I didH6213 amongH7130 them: and afterwardH310 I brought you outH3318.
And I broughtH3318 your fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714: and ye cameH935 unto the seaH3220; and the EgyptiansH4714 pursuedH7291 afterH310 your fathersH1 with chariotsH7393 and horsemenH6571 unto the RedH5488 seaH3220.
And when they criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068, he putH7760 darknessH3990 between you and the EgyptiansH4713, and broughtH935 the seaH3220 upon them, and coveredH3680 them; and your eyesH5869 have seenH7200 what I have doneH6213 in EgyptH4714: and ye dweltH3427 in the wildernessH4057 a longH7227 seasonH3117.
And I broughtH935 you into the landH776 of the AmoritesH567, which dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383; and they foughtH3898 with you: and I gaveH5414 them into your handH3027, that ye might possessH3423 their landH776; and I destroyedH8045 them from beforeH6440 you.
Then BalakH1111 the sonH1121 of ZipporH6834, kingH4428 of MoabH4124, aroseH6965 and warredH3898 against IsraelH3478, and sentH7971 and calledH7121 BalaamH1109 the sonH1121 of BeorH1160 to curseH7043 you:
But I wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto BalaamH1109; therefore he blessedH1288 you stillH1288: so I deliveredH5337 you out of his handH3027.
And ye went overH5674 JordanH3383, and cameH935 unto JerichoH3405: and the menH1167 of JerichoH3405 foughtH3898 against you, the AmoritesH567, and the PerizzitesH6522, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the GirgashitesH1622, the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983; and I deliveredH5414 them into your handH3027.
And I sentH7971 the hornetH6880 beforeH6440 you, which drave them outH1644 from beforeH6440 you, even the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567; but not with thy swordH2719, nor with thy bowH7198.
And I have givenH5414 you a landH776 for which ye did not labourH3021, and citiesH5892 which ye builtH1129 not, and ye dwellH3427 in them; of the vineyardsH3754 and oliveyardsH2132 which ye plantedH5193 not do ye eatH398.
Now therefore fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in sincerityH8549 and in truthH571: and put awayH5493 the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, and in EgyptH4714; and serveH5647 ye the LORDH3068.
And if it seem evilH7489 unto youH4310 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, chooseH977 you this dayH3117 whomH5869 ye will serveH5647; whether the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 that were on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, or the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, God forbidH2486 that we should forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430;
For the LORDH3068 our GodH430, he it is that brought us upH5927 and our fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650, and which didH6213 those greatH1419 signsH226 in our sightH5869, and preservedH8104 us in all the wayH1870 wherein we wentH1980, and among all the peopleH5971 throughH7130 whom we passedH5674:
And the LORDH3068 drave outH1644 from beforeH6440 us all the peopleH5971, even the AmoritesH567 which dweltH3427 in the landH776: therefore will we also serveH5647 the LORDH3068; for he is our GodH430.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye cannotH3201 serveH5647 the LORDH3068: for he is an holyH6918 GodH430; he is a jealousH7072 GodH410; he will not forgiveH5375 your transgressionsH6588 nor your sinsH2403.
If ye forsakeH5800 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 strangeH5236 godsH430, then he will turnH7725 and do you hurtH7489, and consumeH3615 you, afterH310 that he hath done you goodH3190.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Nay; but we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Ye are witnessesH5707 against yourselves that ye have chosenH977 you the LORDH3068, to serveH5647 him. And they saidH559, We are witnessesH5707.
Now therefore put awayH5493, said he, the strangeH5236 godsH430 which are amongH7130 you, and inclineH5186 your heartH3824 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, The LORDH3068 our GodH430 will we serveH5647, and his voiceH6963 will we obeyH8085.
So JoshuaH3091 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the peopleH5971 that dayH3117, and setH7760 them a statuteH2706 and an ordinanceH4941 in ShechemH7927.
And JoshuaH3091 wroteH3789 these wordsH1697 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430, and tookH3947 a greatH1419 stoneH68, and set it upH6965 there under an oakH427, that was by the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Behold, this stoneH68 shall be a witnessH5713 unto us; for it hath heardH8085 all the wordsH561 of the LORDH3068 which he spakeH1696 unto us: it shall be therefore a witnessH5713 unto you, lest ye denyH3584 your GodH430.
So JoshuaH3091 let the peopleH5971 departH7971, every manH376 unto his inheritanceH5159.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068, diedH4191, being an hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141 oldH1121.
And they buriedH6912 him in the borderH1366 of his inheritanceH5159 in TimnathserahH8556, which is in mountH2022 EphraimH669, on the north sideH6828 of the hillH2022 of GaashH1608.
And IsraelH3478 servedH5647 the LORDH3068 all the daysH3117 of JoshuaH3091, and all the daysH3117 of the eldersH2205 that overlivedH748+H3117+H310 JoshuaH3091, and which had knownH3045 all the worksH4639 of the LORDH3068, that he had doneH6213 for IsraelH3478. {overlived…: Heb. prolonged their days after Joshua}
And the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130, which the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 brought upH5927 out of EgyptH4714, buriedH6912 they in ShechemH7927, in a parcelH2513 of groundH7704 which JacobH3290 boughtH7069 of the sonsH1121 of HamorH2544 the fatherH1 of ShechemH7927 for an hundredH3967 pieces of silverH7192: and it became the inheritanceH5159 of the childrenH1121 of JosephH3130. {pieces…: or, lambs}
And EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 diedH4191; and they buriedH6912 him in a hillH1389 that pertained to PhinehasH6372 his sonH1121, which was givenH5414 him in mountH2022 EphraimH669.

And now, IsraelH3478, what doth the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 requireH7592 of thee, but to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, to walkH3212 in all his waysH1870, and to loveH157 him, and to serveH5647 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315,
Now therefore put awayH5493, said he, the strangeH5236 godsH430 which are amongH7130 you, and inclineH5186 your heartH3824 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Your fathersH1 dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104 in old timeH5769, even TerahH8646, the fatherH1 of AbrahamH85, and the fatherH1 of NachorH5152: and they servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430.
Then saidH559 I unto them, Cast ye awayH7993 every manH376 the abominationsH8251 of his eyesH5869, and defileH2930 not yourselves with the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Only fearH3372 the LORDH3068, and serveH5647 him in truthH571 with all your heartH3824: for considerH7200 how great things he hath doneH1431 for you. {how…: or, what a great thing}
And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
Now therefore put awayH5493, said he, the strangeH5236 godsH430 which are amongH7130 you, and inclineH5186 your heartH3824 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
But they rebelledH4784 against me, and wouldH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: they did not every manH376 cast awayH7993 the abominationsH8251 of their eyesH5869, neither did they forsakeH5800 the idolsH1544 of EgyptH4714: then I saidH559, I will pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon them, to accomplishH3615 my angerH639 against them in the midstH8432 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780, whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and that manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and one that fearedH3373 GodH430, and eschewedH5493 evilH7451.
SaidH559 he not unto me, SheH1931 is my sisterH269? and sheH1931, evenH1571 sheH1931 herself saidH559, He is my brotherH251: in the integrityH8537 of my heartH3824 and innocencyH5356 of my handsH3709 have I doneH6213 this. {integrity: or, simplicity, or, sincerity}
Then JacobH3290 saidH559 unto his householdH1004, and to all that were with him, Put awayH5493 the strangeH5236 godsH430 that are among youH8432, and be cleanH2891, and changeH2498 your garmentsH8071:
And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.
And unto manH120 he saidH559, Behold, the fearH3374 of the LordH136, that is wisdomH2451; and to departH5493 from evilH7451 is understandingH998.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto him in a dreamH2472, YeaH1571, I knowH3045 that thou didstH6213 this in the integrityH8537 of thy heartH3824; for I also withheldH2820 thee from sinningH2398 against me: therefore sufferedH5414 I thee not to touchH5060 her.
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is the beginningH7225 of wisdomH2451: a goodH2896 understandingH7922 have all they that doH6213 his commandments: his praiseH8416 endurethH5975 for everH5703. {a good…: or, good success} {his commandments: Heb. them}
Thou shalt not makeH6213 unto thee any graven imageH6459, or any likenessH8544 of any thing thatH834 is in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, or that is in the earthH776 beneath, or that is in the waterH4325 under the earthH776:
I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
And they shall no more offerH2076 their sacrificesH2077 unto devilsH8163, afterH310 whom they have gone a whoringH2181. This shall be a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto them throughout their generationsH1755.
AfterwardH310 shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnH7725, and seekH1245 the LORDH3068 their GodH430, and DavidH1732 their kingH4428; and shall fearH6342 the LORDH3068 and his goodnessH2898 in the latterH319 daysH3117.
ALEPH. BlessedH835 are the undefiledH8549 in the wayH1870, who walkH1980 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068. {undefiled: or, perfect, or, sincere}
Which thou hast commandedH6680 byH3027 thy servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, The landH776, unto which ye goH935 to possessH3423 it, is an uncleanH5079 landH776 with the filthinessH5079 of the peopleH5971 of the landsH776, with their abominationsH8441, which have filledH4390 it from one endH6310 to anotherH6310 with their uncleannessH2932. {by: Heb. by the hand of} {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
ThenG3303+G3767 hadG2192 the churchesG1577 restG1515 throughoutG2596 allG3650 JudaeaG2449 andG2532 GalileeG1056 andG2532 SamariaG4540, and were edifiedG3618; andG2532 walking inG4198 the fearG5401 of the LordG2962, andG2532 in the comfortG3874 of the HolyG40 GhostG4151, were multipliedG4129.
But I saidH559 unto their childrenH1121 in the wildernessH4057, WalkH3212 ye not in the statutesH2706 of your fathersH1, neither observeH8104 their judgmentsH4941, nor defileH2930 yourselves with their idolsH1544:
ButG1161 that onG1722 the goodG2570 groundG1093 areG1526 theyG3778, whichG3748 inG1722 an honestG2570 andG2532 goodG18 heartG2588, having heardG191 the wordG3056, keepG2722 it, andG2532 bring forth fruitG2592 withG1722 patienceG5281.
Have ye offeredH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?
ButG235 the hourG5610 comethG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG2076, whenG3753 the trueG228 worshippersG4353 shall worshipG4352 the FatherG3962 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225: forG2532+G1063 the FatherG3962 seekethG2212 suchG5108 to worshipG4352 himG846.
But ye have borneH5375 the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your godH430, which ye madeH6213 to yourselves. {the tabernacle…: or, Siccuth your king}
GodG2316 is a SpiritG4151: andG2532 they that worshipG4352 himG846 mustG1163 worshipG4352 him inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225.
ForG1063 ourG2257 rejoicingG2746 isG2076 thisG3778, the testimonyG3142 of ourG2257 conscienceG4893, thatG3754 inG1722 simplicityG572 andG2532 godlyG2316 sincerityG1505, notG3756 withG1722 fleshlyG4559 wisdomG4678, butG235 byG1722 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, we have had our conversationG390 inG1722 the worldG2889, andG1161 more abundantlyG4056 toG4314 you-wardG5209.
