Joshua 24

KJV

1  And Joshua3091 gathered622 853 all3605 the tribes7626 of Israel3478 to Shechem,7927 and called7121 for the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and for their heads,7218 and for their judges,8199 and for their officers;7860 and they presented themselves3320 before6440 God.430

2  And Joshua3091 said559 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 Your fathers1 dwelt3427 on the other side5676 of the flood5104 in old time,4480 5769 even Terah,8646 the father1 of Abraham,85 and the father1 of Nachor:5152 and they served5647 other312 gods.430

3  And I took3947 853 your father1 853 Abraham85 from the other side4480 5676 of the flood,5104 and led1980 him throughout all3605 the land776 of Canaan,3667 and multiplied7235 853 his seed,2233 and gave5414 him 853 Isaac.3327

4  And I gave5414 unto Isaac3327 853 Jacob3290 and Esau:6215 and I gave5414 unto Esau6215 853 mount2022 Seir,8165 to possess3423 it; but Jacob3290 and his children1121 went down3381 into Egypt.4714

5  I sent7971 853 Moses4872 also and Aaron,175 and I plagued5062 853 Egypt,4714 according to that which834 I did6213 among7130 them: and afterward310 I brought you out.3318 853

6  And I brought your fathers out3318 853 1 of Egypt:4480 4714 and ye came935 unto the sea;3220 and the Egyptians4714 pursued7291 after310 your fathers1 with chariots7393 and horsemen6571 unto the Red5488 sea.3220

7  And when they cried6817 unto413 the LORD,3068 he put7760 darkness3990 between996 you and the Egyptians,4713 and brought935 853 the sea3220 upon5921 them, and covered3680 them; and your eyes5869 have seen7200 853 what834 I have done6213 in Egypt:4714 and ye dwelt3427 in the wilderness4057 a long7227 season.3117

8  And I brought935 you into413 the land776 of the Amorites,567 which dwelt3427 on the other side5676 Jordan;3383 and they fought3898 with854 you: and I gave5414 them into your hand,3027 that ye might possess3423 853 their land;776 and I destroyed8045 them from before4480 6440 you.

9  Then Balak1111 the son1121 of Zippor,6834 king4428 of Moab,4124 arose6965 and warred3898 against Israel,3478 and sent7971 and called7121 Balaam1109 the son1121 of Beor1160 to curse7043 you:

10  But I would14 not3808 hearken8085 unto Balaam;1109 therefore he blessed1288 1288 you still: so I delivered5337 you out of his hand.4480 3027

11  And ye went over5674 853 Jordan,3383 and came935 unto413 Jericho:3405 and the men1167 of Jericho3405 fought3898 against you, the Amorites,567 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Canaanites,3669 and the Hittites,2850 and the Girgashites,1622 the Hivites,2340 and the Jebusites;2983 and I delivered5414 them into your hand.3027

12  And I sent7971 853 the hornet6880 before6440 you, which drove them out1644 853 from before4480 6440 you, even the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites;567 but not3808 with thy sword,2719 nor3808 with thy bow.7198

13  And I have given5414 you a land776 for which834 ye did not3808 labor,3021 and cities5892 which834 ye built1129 not,3808 and ye dwell3427 in them; of the vineyards3754 and oliveyards2132 which834 ye planted5193 not3808 do ye859 eat.398

14  Now therefore6258 fear3372 853 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 him in sincerity8549 and in truth:571 and put away5493 853 the gods430 which834 your fathers1 served5647 on the other side5676 of the flood,5104 and in Egypt;4714 and serve5647 ye 853 the LORD.3068

15  And if518 it seem evil7489 unto you5869 to serve5647 853 the LORD,3068 choose977 you this day3117 853 whom4310 ye will serve;5647 whether518 853 the gods430 which834 your fathers1 served5647 that834 were on the other side5676 of the flood,5104 or518 853 the gods430 of the Amorites,567 in whose land776 ye859 dwell:3427 but as for me595 and my house,1004 we will serve5647 853 the LORD.3068

16  And the people5971 answered6030 and said,559 God forbid2486 that we should forsake4480 5800 853 the LORD,3068 to serve5647 other312 gods;430

17  For3588 the LORD3068 our God,430 he1931 it is that brought5927 us up and our fathers1 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 from the house4480 1004 of bondage,5650 and which834 did6213 those428 great1419 853 signs226 in our sight,5869 and preserved8104 us in all3605 the way1870 wherein834 we went,1980 and among all3605 the people5971 through7130 whom we passed:5674

18  And the LORD3068 drove out1644 from before4480 6440 us 853 all3605 the people,5971 even the Amorites567 which dwelt3427 in the land:776 therefore will we587 also1571 serve5647 853 the LORD;3068 for3588 he1931 is our God.430

19  And Joshua3091 said559 unto413 the people,5971 Ye cannot3808 3201 serve5647 853 the LORD:3068 for3588 he1931 is a holy6918 God;430 he1931 is a jealous7072 God;410 he will not3808 forgive5375 your transgressions6588 nor your sins.2403

20  If3588 ye forsake5800 853 the LORD,3068 and serve5647 strange5236 gods,430 then he will turn7725 and do you hurt,7489 and consume3615 you, after310 that834 he hath done you good.3190

21  And the people5971 said559 unto413 Joshua,3091 Nay;3808 but3588 we will serve5647 853 the LORD.3068

22  And Joshua3091 said559 unto413 the people,5971 Ye859 are witnesses5707 against yourselves that3588 ye859 have chosen977 you 853 the LORD,3068 to serve5647 him. And they said,559 We are witnesses.5707

23  Now6258 therefore put away,5493 said he, the 853 strange5236 gods430 which834 are among7130 you, and incline5186 853 your heart3824 unto413 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel.3478

24  And the people5971 said559 unto413 Joshua,3091 853 The LORD3068 our God430 will we serve,5647 and his voice6963 will we obey.8085

25  So Joshua3091 made3772 a covenant1285 with the people5971 that1931 day,3117 and set7760 them a statute2706 and an ordinance4941 in Shechem.7927

26  And Joshua3091 wrote3789 these428 853 words1697 in the book5612 of the law8451 of God,430 and took3947 a great1419 stone,68 and set it up6965 there8033 under8478 an oak,427 that834 was by the sanctuary4720 of the LORD.3068

27  And Joshua3091 said559 unto413 all3605 the people,5971 Behold,2009 this2063 stone68 shall be1961 a witness5713 unto us; for3588 it1931 hath heard8085 853 all3605 the words561 of the LORD3068 which834 he spoke1696 unto5973 us: it shall be1961 therefore a witness5713 unto you, lest6435 ye deny3584 your God.430

28  So Joshua3091 let 853 the people5971 depart,7971 every man376 unto his inheritance.5159

29  And it came to pass1961 after310 these428 things,1697 that Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 the servant5650 of the LORD,3068 died,4191 being a hundred3967 and ten6235 years old.8141

30  And they buried6912 him in the border1366 of his inheritance5159 in Timnathserah,8556 which834 is in mount2022 Ephraim,669 on the north side4480 6828 of the hill2022 of Gaash.1608

31  And Israel3478 served5647 853 the LORD3068 all3605 the days3117 of Joshua,3091 and all3605 the days3117 of the elders2205 that834 overlived748 3117 310 Joshua,3091 and which834 had known3045 853 all3605 the works4639 of the LORD,3068 that834 he had done6213 for Israel.3478

32  And the bones6106 of Joseph,3130 which834 the children1121 of Israel3478 brought up5927 out of Egypt,4480 4714 buried6912 they in Shechem,7927 in a parcel2513 of ground7704 which834 Jacob3290 bought7069 of4480 854 the sons1121 of Hamor2544 the father1 of Shechem7928 for a hundred3967 pieces of silver:7192 and it became1961 the inheritance5159 of the children1121 of Joseph.3130

33  And Eleazar499 the son1121 of Aaron175 died;4191 and they buried6912 him in a hill1389 that pertained to Phinehas6372 his son,1121 which834 was given5414 him in mount2022 Ephraim.669

1 καὶ συνήγαγεν Ἰησοῦς πάσας φυλὰς Ισραηλ εἰς Σηλω καὶ συνεκάλεσεν τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς δικαστὰς αὐτῶν καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτοὺς ἀπέναντι τοῦ θεοῦ

2 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ κατῴκησαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν τὸ ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς Θαρα ὁ πατὴρ Αβρααμ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ Ναχωρ καὶ ἐλάτρευσαν θεοῖς ἑτέροις

3 καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν τὸν Αβρααμ ἐκ τοῦ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ὡδήγησα αὐτὸν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ καὶ ἐπλήθυνα αὐτοῦ σπέρμα καὶ ἔδωκα αὐτῷ τὸν Ισαακ

4 καὶ τῷ Ισαακ τὸν Ιακωβ καὶ τὸν Ησαυ καὶ ἔδωκα τῷ Ησαυ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σηιρ κληρονομῆσαι αὐτῷ καὶ Ιακωβ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ κατέβησαν εἰς Αἴγυπτον καὶ ἐγένοντο ἐκεῖ εἰς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ κραταιόν

5 καὶ ἐκάκωσαν αὐτοὺς οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι καὶ ἐπάταξεν κύριος τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἐν οἷς ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξήγαγεν ὑμᾶς

6 ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ εἰσήλθατε εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ἐρυθράν καὶ κατεδίωξαν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι ὀπίσω τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν ἐν ἅρμασιν καὶ ἐν ἵπποις εἰς τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν ἐρυθράν

7 καὶ ἀνεβοήσαμεν πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἔδωκεν νεφέλην καὶ γνόφον ἀνὰ μέσον ἡμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ἐπήγαγεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ ἐκάλυψεν αὐτούς καὶ εἴδοσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ ὑμῶν ὅσα ἐποίησεν κύριος ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἦτε ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἡμέρας πλείους

8 καὶ ἤγαγεν ὑμᾶς εἰς γῆν Αμορραίων τῶν κατοικούντων πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ παρετάξαντο ὑμῖν καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν καὶ κατεκληρονομήσατε τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐξωλεθρεύσατε αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν

9 καὶ ἀνέστη Βαλακ ὁ τοῦ Σεπφωρ βασιλεὺς Μωαβ καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀποστείλας ἐκάλεσεν τὸν Βαλααμ ἀράσασθαι ὑμῖν

10 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἀπολέσαι σε καὶ εὐλογίαν εὐλόγησεν ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐξείλατο ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτούς

11 καὶ διέβητε τὸν Ιορδάνην καὶ παρεγενήθητε εἰς Ιεριχω καὶ ἐπολέμησαν πρὸς ὑμᾶς οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ιεριχω ὁ Αμορραῖος καὶ ὁ Χαναναῖος καὶ ὁ Φερεζαῖος καὶ ὁ Ευαῖος καὶ ὁ Ιεβουσαῖος καὶ ὁ Χετταῖος καὶ ὁ Γεργεσαῖος καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν

12 καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν προτέραν ὑμῶν τὴν σφηκιάν καὶ ἐξέβαλεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν δώδεκα βασιλεῖς τῶν Αμορραίων οὐκ ἐν τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ σου οὐδὲ ἐν τῷ τόξῳ σου

13 καὶ ἔδωκεν ὑμῖν γῆν ἐφ᾽ ἣν οὐκ ἐκοπιάσατε ἐπ᾽ αὐτῆς καὶ πόλεις ἃς οὐκ ᾠκοδομήσατε καὶ κατῳκίσθητε ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ ἐλαιῶνας οὓς οὐκ ἐφυτεύσατε ὑμεῖς ἔδεσθε

14 καὶ νῦν φοβήθητε κύριον καὶ λατρεύσατε αὐτῷ ἐν εὐθύτητι καὶ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ περιέλεσθε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους οἷς ἐλάτρευσαν οἱ πατέρες ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ καὶ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ λατρεύετε κυρίῳ

15 εἰ δὲ μὴ ἀρέσκει ὑμῖν λατρεύειν κυρίῳ ἕλεσθε ὑμῖν ἑαυτοῖς σήμερον τίνι λατρεύσητε εἴτε τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν τοῖς ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ποταμοῦ εἴτε τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν Αμορραίων ἐν οἷς ὑμεῖς κατοικεῖτε ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ ἡ οἰκία μου λατρεύσομεν κυρίῳ ὅτι ἅγιός ἐστιν

16 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ λαὸς εἶπεν μὴ γένοιτο ἡμῖν καταλιπεῖν κύριον ὥστε λατρεύειν θεοῖς ἑτέροις

17 κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν αὐτὸς θεός ἐστιν αὐτὸς ἀνήγαγεν ἡμᾶς καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ διεφύλαξεν ἡμᾶς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθημεν ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν οὓς παρήλθομεν δι᾽ αὐτῶν

18 καὶ ἐξέβαλεν κύριος τὸν Αμορραῖον καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ κατοικοῦντα τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡμεῖς λατρεύσομεν κυρίῳ οὗτος γὰρ θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν

19 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τὸν λαόν οὐ μὴ δύνησθε λατρεύειν κυρίῳ ὅτι θεὸς ἅγιός ἐστιν καὶ ζηλώσας οὗτος οὐκ ἀνήσει ὑμῶν τὰ ἁμαρτήματα καὶ τὰ ἀνομήματα ὑμῶν

20 ἡνίκα ἐὰν ἐγκαταλίπητε κύριον καὶ λατρεύσητε θεοῖς ἑτέροις καὶ ἐπελθὼν κακώσει ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐξαναλώσει ὑμᾶς ἀνθ᾽ ὧν εὖ ἐποίησεν ὑμᾶς

21 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν οὐχί ἀλλὰ κυρίῳ λατρεύσομεν

22 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τὸν λαόν μάρτυρες ὑμεῖς καθ᾽ ὑμῶν ὅτι ὑμεῖς ἐξελέξασθε κύριον λατρεύειν αὐτῷ

23 καὶ νῦν περιέλεσθε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ εὐθύνατε τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν πρὸς κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ

24 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Ἰησοῦν κυρίῳ λατρεύσομεν καὶ τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ ἀκουσόμεθα

25 καὶ διέθετο Ἰησοῦς διαθήκην πρὸς τὸν λαὸν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ νόμον καὶ κρίσιν ἐν Σηλω ἐνώπιον τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ θεοῦ Ισραηλ

26 καὶ ἔγραψεν τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα εἰς βιβλίον νόμον τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἔλαβεν λίθον μέγαν καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν Ἰησοῦς ὑπὸ τὴν τερέμινθον ἀπέναντι κυρίου

27 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τὸν λαόν ἰδοὺ ὁ λίθος οὗτος ἔσται ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον ὅτι αὐτὸς ἀκήκοεν πάντα τὰ λεχθέντα αὐτῷ ὑπὸ κυρίου ὅ τι ἐλάλησεν πρὸς ἡμᾶς σήμερον καὶ ἔσται οὗτος ἐν ὑμῖν εἰς μαρτύριον ἐπ᾽ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἡνίκα ἐὰν ψεύσησθε κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ μου

28 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς τὸν λαόν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ

29 καὶ ἐλάτρευσεν Ισραηλ τῷ κυρίῳ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας Ἰησοῦ καὶ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ὅσοι ἐφείλκυσαν τὸν χρόνον μετὰ Ἰησοῦ καὶ ὅσοι εἴδοσαν πάντα τὰ ἔργα κυρίου ὅσα ἐποίησεν τῷ Ισραηλ

30 καὶ ἐγένετο μετ᾽ ἐκεῖνα καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυη δοῦλος κυρίου ἑκατὸν δέκα ἐτῶν

31 καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τοῖς ὁρίοις τοῦ κλήρου αὐτοῦ ἐν Θαμναθασαχαρα ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Εφραιμ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ τοῦ ὄρους Γαας
ἐκεῖ ἔθηκαν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ μνῆμα εἰς ὃ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ τὰς μαχαίρας τὰς πετρίνας ἐν αἷς περιέτεμεν τοὺς υἱοὺς Ισραηλ ἐν Γαλγαλοις ὅτε ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καθὰ συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς κύριος καὶ ἐκεῖ εἰσιν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

32 καὶ τὰ ὀστᾶ Ιωσηφ ἀνήγαγον οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ κατώρυξαν ἐν Σικιμοις ἐν τῇ μερίδι τοῦ ἀγροῦ οὗ ἐκτήσατο Ιακωβ παρὰ τῶν Αμορραίων τῶν κατοικούντων ἐν Σικιμοις ἀμνάδων ἑκατὸν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὴν Ιωσηφ ἐν μερίδι

33 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ Ελεαζαρ υἱὸς Ααρων ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐτελεύτησεν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Γαβααθ Φινεες τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἣν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ Εφραιμ
ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ λαβόντες οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ θεοῦ περιεφέροσαν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ Φινεες ἱεράτευσεν ἀντὶ Ελεαζαρ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως ἀπέθανεν καὶ κατωρύγη ἐν Γαβααθ τῇ ἑαυτοῦ
οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀπήλθοσαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῶν καὶ εἰς τὴν ἑαυτῶν πόλιν καὶ ἐσέβοντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ τὴν Ἀστάρτην καὶ Ασταρωθ καὶ τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν κύκλῳ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτοὺς κύριος εἰς χεῖρας Εγλωμ τῷ βασιλεῖ Μωαβ καὶ ἐκυρίευσεν αὐτῶν ἔτη δέκα ὀκτώ

Vul

1 Congregavitque Josue omnes tribus Israël in Sichem, et vocavit majores natu, ac principes, et judices, et magistros: steteruntque in conspectu Domini,

2 et ad populum sic locutus est: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Trans fluvium habitaverunt patres vestri ab initio, Thare pater Abraham et Nachor: servieruntque diis alienis.

3 Tuli ergo patrem vestrum Abraham de Mesopotamiæ finibus, et adduxi eum in terram Chanaan, multiplicavique semen ejus,

4 et dedi ei Isaac: illique rursum dedi Jacob et Esau. E quibus, Esau dedi montem Seir ad possidendum: Jacob vero et filii ejus descenderunt in Ægyptum.

5 Misique Moysen et Aaron, et percussi Ægyptum multis signis atque portentis.

6 Eduxique vos et patres vestros de Ægypto, et venistis ad mare: persecutique sunt Ægyptii patres vestros cum curribus et equitatu, usque ad mare Rubrum.

7 Clamaverunt autem ad Dominum filii Israël: qui posuit tenebras inter vos et Ægyptios, et adduxit super eos mare, et operuit eos. Viderunt oculi vestri cuncta quæ in Ægypto fecerim, et habitastis in solitudine multo tempore:

8 et introduxi vos in terram Amorrhæi, qui habitabat trans Jordanem. Cumque pugnarent contra vos, tradidi eos in manus vestras, et possedistis terram eorum, atque interfecistis eos.

9 Surrexit autem Balac filius Sephor rex Moab, et pugnavit contra Israëlem. Misitque et vocavit Balaam filium Beor, ut malediceret vobis:

10 et ego nolui audire eum, sed e contrario per illum benedixi vobis, et liberavi vos de manu ejus.

11 Transistisque Jordanem, et venistis ad Jericho. Pugnaveruntque contra vos viri civitatis ejus, Amorrhæus et Pherezæus, et Chananæus, et Hethæus, et Gergezæus, et Hevæus, et Jebusæus: et tradidi illos in manus vestras.

12 Misique ante vos crabrones: et ejeci eos de locis suis, duos reges Amorrhæorum, non in gladio nec in arcu tuo.

13 Dedique vobis terram, in qua non laborastis, et urbes quas non ædificastis, ut habitaretis in eis: vineas, et oliveta, quæ non plantastis.

14 Nunc ergo timete Dominum, et servite ei perfecto corde atque verissimo: et auferte deos quibus servierunt patres vestri in Mesopotamia et in Ægypto, ac servite Domino.

15 Sin autem malum vobis videtur ut Domino serviatis, optio vobis datur: eligite hodie quod placet, cui servire potissimum debeatis: utrum diis, quibus servierunt patres vestri in Mesopotamia, an diis Amorrhæorum, in quorum terra habitatis: ego autem et domus mea serviemus Domino.

16 Responditque populus, et ait: Absit a nobis ut relinquamus Dominum, et serviamus diis alienis.

17 Dominus Deus noster, ipse eduxit nos et patres nostros de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis: fecitque videntibus nobis signa ingentia, et custodivit nos in omni via per quam ambulavimus, et in cunctis populis per quos transivimus.

18 Et ejecit universas gentes, Amorrhæum habitatorem terræ quam nos intravimus. Serviemus igitur Domino, quia ipse est Deus noster.

19 Dixitque Josue ad populum: Non poteritis servire Domino: Deus enim sanctus et fortis æmulator est, nec ignoscet sceleribus vestris atque peccatis.

20 Si dimiseritis Dominum, et servieritis diis alienis, convertet se, et affliget vos atque subvertet, postquam vobis præstiterit bona.

21 Dixitque populus ad Josue: Nequaquam ita ut loqueris erit, sed Domino serviemus.

22 Et Josue ad populum: Testes, inquit, vos estis, quia ipsi elegeritis vobis Dominum ut serviatis ei. Responderuntque: Testes.

23 Nunc ergo, ait, auferte deos alienos de medio vestri, et inclinate corda vestra ad Dominum Deum Israël.

24 Dixitque populus ad Josue: Domino Deo nostro serviemus, et obedientes erimus præceptis ejus.

25 Percussit ergo Josue in die illo fœdus, et proposuit populo præcepta atque judicia in Sichem.

26 Scripsit quoque omnia verba hæc in volumine legis Domini: et tulit lapidem pergrandem, posuitque eum subter quercum, quæ erat in sanctuario Domini:

27 et dixit ad omnem populum: En lapis iste erit vobis in testimonium, quod audierit omnia verba Domini, quæ locutus est vobis: ne forte postea negare velitis, et mentiri Domino Deo vestro.

28 Dimisitque populum, singulos in possessionem suam.

29 Et post hæc mortuus est Josue filius Nun servus Domini, centum et decem annorum:

30 sepelieruntque eum in finibus possessionis suæ in Thamnathsare, quæ est sita in monte Ephraim, a septentrionali parte montis Gaas.

31 Servivitque Israël Domino cunctis diebus Josue et seniorum, qui longo vixerunt tempore post Josue, et qui noverunt omnia opera Domini quæ fecerat in Israël.

32 Ossa quoque Joseph, quæ tulerant filii Israël de Ægypto, sepelierunt in Sichem, in parte agri quem emerat Jacob a filiis Hemor patris Sichem, centum novellis ovibus, et fuit in possessionem filiorum Joseph.

33 Eleazar quoque filius Aaron mortuus est: et sepelierunt eum in Gabaath Phinees filii ejus, quæ data est ei in monte Ephraim.
