 24:1 ¶ And Ioshua 3091 gathered 622 z8799 x853 all x3605 the Tribes 7626 of Israel 3478 to Shechem, 7927 and called 7121 z8799 for the Elders 2205 of Israel, 3478 and for their Heads, 7218 and for their Iudges, 8199 z8802 and for their Officers, 7860 z8802 and they presented y3320 z8691 themselues x3320 before 6440 God. 430

 24:2 And Ioshua 3091 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 all x3605 the people, 5971 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 Your fathers 1 dwelt 3427 z8804 on the other side 5676 of the flood 5104 in old time, 5769 x4480 [euen] Terah 8646 the father 1 of Abraham, 85 and the father 1 of Nachor: 5152 and they serued 5647 z8799 other 312 gods. 430

 24:3 And I tooke 3947 z8799 x853 your father 1 x853 Abraham 85 fro the other side 5676 x4480 of the flood, 5104 and led y3212 z8686 x1980 him throughout all x3605 the land 776 of Canaan, 3667 and multiplied 7235 z8686 x853 his seed, 2233 and gaue 5414 z8799 him x853 Isaac. 3327

 24:4 And I gaue 5414 z8799 vnto Isaac, 3327 x853 Iacob 3290 and Esau: 6215 & I gaue 5414 z8799 vnto Esau 6215 x853 mount 2022 Seir, 8165 to possesse 3423 z8800 it: but Iacob 3290 and his children 1121 went downe 3381 z8804 into Egypt. 4714

 24:5 I sent 7971 z8799 x853 Moses 4872 also and Aaron, 175 and I plagued 5062 z8799 x853 Egypt, 4714 according to that which 834 I did 6213 z8804 amongst 7130 them: and afterward, 310 I brought you out. 3318 z8689 x853

 24:6 And I brought y3318 z8686 your fathers y1 out x3318 x853 x1 of Egypt: 4714 x4480 and you came 935 z8799 vnto the sea, 3220 and the Egyptians 4714 pursued 7291 z8799 after 310 your fathers 1 with charets 7393 and horsemen 6571 vnto the red 5488 sea. 3220

 24:7 And when they cried 6817 z8799 vnto x413 the LORD, 3068 hee put 7760 z8799 darkenesse 3990 betweene x996 you and the Egyptians, 4713 and brought 935 z8686 x853 the sea 3220 vpon x5921 them, and couered 3680 z8762 them, and your eyes 5869 haue seene 7200 z8799 x853 what x834 I haue done 6213 z8804 in Egypt, 4714 and ye dwelt 3427 z8799 in the wildernes 4057 a long 7227 season. 3117

 24:8 And I brought 935 z8686 you into x413 the land 776 of the Amorites, 567 which dwelt 3427 z8802 on the other side 5676 Iordan: 3383 and they fought 3898 z8735 with x854 you, and I gaue 5414 z8799 them into your hand, 3027 that ye might possesse 3423 z8799 x853 their land, 776 and I destroyed 8045 z8686 them from before 6440 x4480 you.

 24:9 Then Balak 1111 the sonne 1121 of Zippor 6834 king 4428 of Moab, 4124 arose 6965 z8799 and warred 3898 z8735 against Israel, 3478 and sent 7971 z8799 and called 7121 z8799 Balaam 1109 the sonne 1121 of Beor 1160 to curse 7043 z8763 you:

 24:10 But I would 14 z8804 not x3808 hearken 8085 z8800 vnto Balaam, 1109 therefore he blessed 1288 z8762 you still: y1288 z8800 so I deliuered 5337 z8686 you out of his hand. 3027 x4480

 24:11 And ye went ouer 5674 z8799 x853 Iordan, 3383 and came 935 z8799 vnto x413 Iericho: 3405 and the men 1167 of Iericho 3405 fought 3898 z8735 against you, the Amorites, 567 and the Perizzites, 6522 & the Canaanites, 3669 and the Hittites, 2850 and the Girgashites, 1622 the Hiuites, 2340 and the Iebusites, 2983 and I deliuered 5414 z8799 them into your hand. 3027

 24:12 And I sent 7971 z8799 x853 the hornet 6880 before 6440 you, which draue them out 1644 z8762 x853 from before 6440 x4480 you, [euen] the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites: 567 [but] not x3808 with thy sword, 2719 nor x3808 with thy bow. 7198

 24:13 And I haue giuen 5414 z8799 you a land 776 for which x834 ye did not x3808 labour, 3021 z8804 & cities 5892 which x834 ye built 1129 z8804 not, x3808 and yee dwell 3427 z8799 in them: of the vineyards 3754 and Oliue-yards 2132 which x834 ye planted 5193 z8804 not, x3808 doe ye x859 eate. 398 z8802

 24:14 ¶ Now therefore, x6258 feare 3372 z8798 x853 the LORD, 3068 and serue 5647 z8798 him in sinceritie, 8549 and in trueth, 571 and put away 5493 z8685 x853 the gods 430 which x834 your fathers 1 serued 5647 z8804 on the other side 5676 of the flood, 5104 and in Egypt: 4714 and serue 5647 z8798 yee x853 the LORD. 3068

 24:15 And if x518 it seeme euill 7489 z8804 vnto you y4310 x5869 to serue 5647 z8800 x853 the LORD, 3068 choose 977 z8798 you this day 3117 x853 whome y5869 x4310 you will serue, 5647 z8799 whether x518 x853 the gods 430 which x834 your fathers 1 serued 5647 z8804 that x834 were on the other side 5676 of the flood, 5104 or x518 x853 the gods 430 of the Amorites, 567 in whose lande 776 ye x859 dwell: 3427 z8802 but as for mee x595 and my house, 1004 we will serue 5647 z8799 x853 the LORD. 3068

 24:16 And the people 5971 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 God forbid 2486 that wee should forsake 5800 z8800 x4480 x853 the LORD, 3068 to serue 5647 z8800 other 312 gods. 430

 24:17 For x3588 the LORD 3068 our God, 430 he x1931 [it is] that brought x5927 vs vp y5927 z8688 and our fathers 1 out of the land 776 x4480 of Egypt, 4714 from the house 1004 x4480 of bondage, 5650 & which x834 did 6213 z8804 those x428 great 1419 x853 signes 226 in our sight, 5869 and preserued 8104 z8799 vs in all x3605 the way 1870 wherein x834 we went, 1980 z8804 and among all x3605 the people 5971 through 7130 whom we passed. 5674 z8804

 24:18 And the LORD 3068 draue out 1644 z8762 from before 6440 x4480 vs x853 all x3605 the people, 5971 euen the Amorites 567 which dwelt 3427 z8802 in the land: 776 [therefore] will we x587 also x1571 serue 5647 z8799 x853 the LORD, 3068 for x3588 he x1931 is our God. 430

 24:19 And Ioshua 3091 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 the people, 5971 Ye cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 serue 5647 z8800 x853 the LORD: 3068 for x3588 hee x1931 is an holy 6918 God: 430 he x1931 is a ielous 7072 God, 410 he will not x3808 forgiue 5375 z8799 your transgressions 6588 nor your sinnes. 2403

 24:20 If x3588 yee forsake 5800 z8799 x853 the LORD, 3068 and serue 5647 z8804 strange 5236 gods, 430 then he will turne, 7725 z8804 and doe you hurt, 7489 z8689 and consume 3615 z8765 you, after 310 that x834 he hath done you good. 3190 z8689

 24:21 And the people 5971 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 Ioshua, 3091 Nay, x3808 but x3588 we will serue 5647 z8799 x853 the LORD. 3068

 24:22 And Ioshua 3091 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 the people, 5971 Yee x859 are witnesses 5707 against your selues, that x3588 yee x859 haue chosen 977 z8804 you x853 the LORD, 3068 to serue 5647 z8800 him. And they said, 559 z8799 [We are] witnesses. 5707

 24:23 Now x6258 therefore put away, 5493 z8685 [said he], the x853 strange 5236 gods 430 which x834 are among 7130 you, and encline 5186 z8685 x853 your heart 3824 vnto x413 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel. 3478

 24:24 And the people 5971 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 Ioshua; 3091 x853 The LORD 3068 our God 430 will we serue, 5647 z8799 and his voice 6963 will we obey. 8085 z8799

 24:25 So Ioshua 3091 made 3772 z8799 a couenant 1285 with the people 5971 that x1931 day, 3117 and set 7760 z8799 them a Statute, 2706 & an Ordinance 4941 in Shechem. 7927

 24:26 ¶ And Ioshua 3091 wrote 3789 z8799 these x428 x853 words 1697 in the booke 5612 of the Law 8451 of God, 430 and tooke 3947 z8799 a great 1419 stone, 68 and set it vp 6965 z8686 there, x8033 vnder x8478 an oake, 427 that x834 was by the Sanctuary 4720 of the LORD. 3068

 24:27 And Ioshua 3091 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 all x3605 the people, 5971 Behold, x2009 this x2063 stone 68 shalbe x1961 a witnesse 5713 vnto vs; for x3588 it x1931 hath heard 8085 z8804 x853 all x3605 the words 561 of the LORD 3068 which x834 hee spake 1696 z8765 vnto x5973 vs; it shall be x1961 there for a witnesse 5713 vnto you, lest x6435 ye deny 3584 z8762 your God. 430

 24:28 So Ioshua 3091 let x853 the people 5971 depart, 7971 z8762 euery man 376 vnto his inheritance. 5159

 24:29 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 after 310 these x428 things, 1697 that Ioshua 3091 the sonne 1121 of Nun 5126 the seruant 5650 of the LORD 3068 died, 4191 z8799 being an hundred 3967 and ten 6235 yeeres y8141 old. y1121 x8141

 24:30 And they buried 6912 z8799 him in the border 1366 of his inheritance 5159 in Timnath-Serah, 8556 which x834 [is] in mount 2022 Ephraim, 669 on the North side 6828 x4480 of the hill 2022 of Gaash. 1608

 24:31 And Israel 3478 serued 5647 z8799 x853 the LORD 3068 all x3605 the dayes 3117 of Ioshua, 3091 & all x3605 the dayes 3117 of the Elders 2205 that x834 ouerliued 748 3117 310 z8689 Ioshua, 3091 and which x834 had knowen 3045 z8804 x853 al x3605 the works 4639 of the LORD, 3068 that x834 he had done 6213 z8804 for Israel. 3478

 24:32 ¶ And the bones 6106 of Ioseph, 3130 which x834 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 brought vp 5927 z8689 out of Egypt, 4714 x4480 buried 6912 z8804 they in Shechem, 7927 in a parcell 2513 of ground 7704 which x834 Iacob 3290 bought 7069 z8804 of x4480 x854 the sonnes 1121 of Hamor 2544 the father 1 of Shechem, y7927 x7928 for an hundred 3967 pieces of siluer; 7192 and it became x1961 the inheritance 5159 of the children 1121 of Ioseph. 3130
