|
|
3. And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
|
3. And I took H3947 H853 your father H1 H853 Abraham H85 from the other side H4480 H5676 of the flood H5104 , and led H1980 him throughout all H3605 the land H776 of Canaan H3667 , and multiplied H7235 H853 his seed H2233 , and gave H5414 him H853 Isaac H3327 .

|
|
5. And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst thereof: and afterward I brought you out.
|
5. I sent H7971 H853 Moses H4872 also and Aaron H175 , and I plagued H5062 H853 Egypt H4714 , according to that which H834 I did H6213 among H7130 them : and afterward H310 I brought you out H3318 H853 .
|
|
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 with horsemen unto the Red Sea.
|
6. And I brought your fathers out H3318 H853 H1 of Egypt H4480 H4714 : and ye came H935 unto the sea H3220 ; and the Egyptians H4714 pursued H7291 after H310 your fathers H1 with chariots H7393 and horsemen H6571 unto the Red H5488 sea H3220 .
|
|
7. And when they cried out unto Jehovah, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days.
|
7. And when they cried H6817 unto H413 the LORD H3068 , he put H7760 darkness H3990 between H996 you and the Egyptians H4713 , and brought H935 H853 the sea H3220 upon H5921 them , and covered H3680 them ; and your eyes H5869 have seen H7200 H853 what H834 I have done H6213 in Egypt H4714 : and ye dwelt H3427 in the wilderness H4057 a long H7227 season H3117 .
|
|
8. And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that dwelt beyond the Jordan: and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
|
8. And I brought H935 you into H413 the land H776 of the Amorites H567 , which dwelt H3427 on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 ; and they fought H3898 with H854 you : and I gave H5414 them into your hand H3027 , that ye might possess H3423 H853 their land H776 ; and I destroyed H8045 them from before H4480 H6440 you.
|
|

9. Then Balak H1111 the son H1121 of Zippor H6834 , king H4428 of Moab H4124 , arose H6965 and warred H3898 against Israel H3478 , and sent H7971 and called H7121 Balaam H1109 the son H1121 of Beor H1160 to curse H7043 you:
|
|
10. but I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
|
10. But I would H14 not H3808 hearken H8085 unto Balaam H1109 ; therefore he blessed H1288 H1288 you still : so I delivered H5337 you out of his hand H4480 H3027 .
|
|
11. And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
|
11. And ye went over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 , and came H935 unto H413 Jericho H3405 : and the men H1167 of Jericho H3405 fought H3898 against you , the Amorites H567 , and the Perizzites H6522 , and the Canaanites H3669 , and the Hittites H2850 , and the Girgashites H1622 , the Hivites H2340 , and the Jebusites H2983 ; and I delivered H5414 them into your hand H3027 .
|
|
12. And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
|
12. And I sent H7971 H853 the hornet H6880 before H6440 you , which drove them out H1644 H853 from before H4480 H6440 you, even the two H8147 kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 ; but not H3808 with thy sword H2719 , nor H3808 with thy bow H7198 .
|
|
13. And I gave you a land whereon thou hadst not labored, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell therein; of vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
|
13. And I have given H5414 you a land H776 for which H834 ye did not H3808 labor H3021 , and cities H5892 which H834 ye built H1129 not H3808 , and ye dwell H3427 in them ; of the vineyards H3754 and oliveyards H2132 which H834 ye planted H5193 not H3808 do ye H859 eat H398 .
|
|
14. Now therefore fear Jehovah, and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah.
|
14. Now therefore H6258 fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 , and serve H5647 him in sincerity H8549 and in truth H571 : and put away H5493 H853 the gods H430 which H834 your fathers H1 served H5647 on the other side H5676 of the flood H5104 , and in Egypt H4714 ; and serve H5647 ye H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.
|
15. And if H518 it seem evil H7489 unto you H5869 to serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 , choose H977 you this day H3117 H853 whom H4310 ye will serve H5647 ; whether H518 H853 the gods H430 which H834 your fathers H1 served H5647 that H834 were on the other side H5676 of the flood H5104 , or H518 H853 the gods H430 of the Amorites H567 , in whose land H776 ye H859 dwell H3427 : but as for me H595 and my house H1004 , we will serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
16. And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;
|
16. And the people H5971 answered H6030 and said H559 , God forbid H2486 that we should forsake H4480 H5800 H853 the LORD H3068 , to serve H5647 other H312 gods H430 ;
|
|
17. for Jehovah our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;
|
17. For H3588 the LORD H3068 our God H430 , he H1931 it is that brought H5927 us up and our fathers H1 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 , from the house H4480 H1004 of bondage H5650 , and which H834 did H6213 those H428 great H1419 H853 signs H226 in our sight H5869 , and preserved H8104 us in all H3605 the way H1870 wherein H834 we went H1980 , and among all H3605 the people H5971 through H7130 whom we passed H5674 :
|
|
18. and Jehovah drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land: therefore we also will serve Jehovah; for he is our God.
|
18. And the LORD H3068 drove out H1644 from before H4480 H6440 us H853 all H3605 the people H5971 , even the Amorites H567 which dwelt H3427 in the land H776 : therefore will we H587 also H1571 serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 ; for H3588 he H1931 is our God H430 .
|
|
19. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.
|
19. And Joshua H3091 said H559 unto H413 the people H5971 , Ye cannot H3808 H3201 serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 he H1931 is a holy H6918 God H430 ; he H1931 is a jealous H7072 God H410 ; he will not H3808 forgive H5375 your transgressions H6588 nor your sins H2403 .
|
|
20. If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
|
20. If H3588 ye forsake H5800 H853 the LORD H3068 , and serve H5647 strange H5236 gods H430 , then he will turn H7725 and do you hurt H7489 , and consume H3615 you, after H310 that H834 he hath done you good H3190 .
|
|
21. And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Jehovah.
|
21. And the people H5971 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 we will serve H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
22. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you Jehovah, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
|
22. And Joshua H3091 said H559 unto H413 the people H5971 , Ye H859 are witnesses H5707 against yourselves that H3588 ye H859 have chosen H977 you H853 the LORD H3068 , to serve H5647 him . And they said H559 , We are witnesses H5707 .
|
|
23. Now therefore put away, said he, the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.
|
23. Now H6258 therefore put away H5493 , said he , the H853 strange H5236 gods H430 which H834 are among H7130 you , and incline H5186 H853 your heart H3824 unto H413 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
24. And the people said unto Joshua, Jehovah our God will we serve, and unto his voice will we hearken.
|
24. And the people H5971 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , H853 The LORD H3068 our God H430 will we serve H5647 , and his voice H6963 will we obey H8085 .
|
|
25. So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
|
25. So Joshua H3091 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with the people H5971 that H1931 day H3117 , and set H7760 them a statute H2706 and an ordinance H4941 in Shechem H7927 .
|
|
26. And 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 Jehovah.
|
26. And Joshua H3091 wrote H3789 these H428 H853 words H1697 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 of God H430 , and took H3947 a great H1419 stone H68 , and set it up H6965 there H8033 under H8478 an oak H427 , that H834 was by the sanctuary H4720 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
27. And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of Jehovah which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God.
|
27. And Joshua H3091 said H559 unto H413 all H3605 the people H5971 , Behold H2009 , this H2063 stone H68 shall be H1961 a witness H5713 unto us; for H3588 it H1931 hath heard H8085 H853 all H3605 the words H561 of the LORD H3068 which H834 he spoke H1696 unto H5973 us : it shall be H1961 therefore a witness H5713 unto you, lest H6435 ye deny H3584 your God H430 .
|
|
28. So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance.
|
28. So Joshua H3091 let H853 the people H5971 depart H7971 , every man H376 unto his inheritance H5159 .
|

|
29. And it came to pass H1961 after H310 these H428 things H1697 , that Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 , the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 , died H4191 , being a hundred H3967 and ten H6235 years old H8141 .
|
|
30. And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
|
30. And they buried H6912 him in the border H1366 of his inheritance H5159 in Timnathserah H8556 , which H834 is in mount H2022 Ephraim H669 , on the north side H4480 H6828 of the hill H2022 of Gaash H1608 .
|
|
31. And Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of Jehovah, that he had wrought for Israel.
|
31. And Israel H3478 served H5647 H853 the LORD H3068 all H3605 the days H3117 of Joshua H3091 , and all H3605 the days H3117 of the elders H2205 that H834 overlived H748 H3117 H310 Joshua H3091 , and which H834 had known H3045 H853 all H3605 the works H4639 of the LORD H3068 , that H834 he had done H6213 for Israel H3478 .
|
|
32. And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money: and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
|
32.
