Choose Whom You Will Serve
14
1"Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. 2Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
15
3And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, 4choose this day whom you will serve, whether 5the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or 6the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. 7But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
16
Then the people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods,
17
for it is the LORD our God who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed.
18
And the LORD drove out before us all the peoples, the Amorites who lived in the land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is our God."
19
But Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve the LORD, for he is 8a holy God. He is 9a jealous God; 10he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins.
20
11If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, then 12he will turn and do you harm and consume you, after having done you good."
21
And the people said to Joshua, "No, but we will serve the LORD."
22
Then Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that 13you have chosen the LORD, to serve him." And they said, "We are witnesses."
23
He said, "Then 14put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the LORD, the God of Israel."
24
And the people said to Joshua, "The LORD our God we will serve, and his voice we will obey."
25
So Joshua 15made a covenant with the people that day, and put in place 16statutes and rules for them at Shechem.
26
And Joshua 17wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. And 18he took a large stone and set it up there 19under the terebinth that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
27
And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, 20this stone shall be a witness against us, for 21it has heard all the words of the LORD that he spoke to us. Therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God."
28
So Joshua 22sent the people away, every man to his inheritance.
