Joshua 24:7-17

⁷And we cried aloud to the Lord; and he put a cloud and darkness between us and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in the land of Egypt; and you° were in the wilderness many days.

⁸And he brought us into the land of the Amorites that lived beyond Jordan, and the Lord delivered them into our hands; and you° inherited their land, and utterly destroyed them from before you.

⁹And Balac, king of Moab, son of Sepphor, rose up, and made war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam to curse us.

¹⁰But the Lord your God would not destroy you; and he greatly blessed us, and rescued us out of their hands, and delivered them to us.

¹¹And you° crossed over Jordan, and came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered them into our hands.

¹²And he sent forth the hornet before you; and he drove them out from before you, even twelve kings of the Amorites, not with your sword, nor with your bow.

¹³And he gave you a land on which you° did not labor, and cities which you° did not build, and you° were settled in them; and you° eat of vineyards and olive yards which you° did not plant.

¹⁴And now fear the Lord, and serve him in righteousness and justice; and remove the strange gods, which our fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.

¹⁵But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom you° will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom you° dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.

¹⁶And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods.

¹⁷The Lord our God, he is God; he brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way wherein we walked, and among all the nations through whom we passed.
