YAHWEH's Benefits To The Fathers of Yisrael

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:1

1 ?And Yehoshua gathered all the tribes of Yisrael to Shechem, and called for the elders of Yisrael, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before YAHWEH.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:2

2 And Yehoshua said to all the people, Thus saith YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:3

3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Yitschaq.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:4

4 And I gave to Yitschaq Yacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Yacob and his children went down into Egypt.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:5

5 I sent Mosheh also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:6

6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red sea.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:7

7 And when they cried to YAHWEH, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and you dwelt in the wilderness a long season.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:8

8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Yardan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that you might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:9

9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Yisrael, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:10

10 But I would not hearken to Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:11

11 And you went over Yardan, and came to Jericho: and the chief men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:12

12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with your sword, nor with your bow.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:13

13 And I have given you a land for which you did not labor, and cities which you built not, and you dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which you planted not do you eat.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:14

14 Now therefore fear YAHWEH, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve you YAHWEH.

Yehoshua Renews The Covenant Between The People And YAHWEH

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:15

15 ?And if it seem evil to you to serve YAHWEH, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve YAHWEH.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:16

16 And the people answered and said, forbid that we should forsake YAHWEH, to serve other gods;

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:17

17 For YAHWEH our ABBA, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:18

18 And YAHWEH drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve YAHWEH; for he is our Sovereign Ruler.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:19

19 And Yehoshua said to the people, You cannot serve YAHWEH: for he is an holy Sovereign Ruler; he is a jealous Almighty One; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:20

20 If you forsake YAHWEH, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he has done you kindly.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:21

21 And the people said to Yehoshua, Nay; but we will serve YAHWEH.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:22

22 And Yehoshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen you YAHWEH, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:23

23 Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart to YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:24

24 And the people said to Yehoshua, YAHWEH our ABBA will we serve, and his voice will we obey.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:25

25 So Yehoshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:26

26 And Yehoshua wrote these words in the book of the torah of YAHWEH, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of YAHWEH.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:27

27 And Yehoshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it has heard all the Word of YAHWEH which he spoke to us: it shall be therefore a witness to you, lest you deny YAHWEH your ABBA.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:28

28 So Yehoshua let the people depart, every man to his inheritance.

29 ?And it came to pass after these things, that Yehoshua the son of Nun, the servant of YAHWEH, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:30

30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:31

31 And Yisrael served YAHWEH all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Yehoshua, and which had known all the works of YAHWEH, that he had done for Yisrael.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:32

32 And the bones of Yoseph, which the children of Yisrael brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Yacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Yoseph.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 24:33

33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
