1And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] gathered all the tribes of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to Sh’khem [Shoulder], and called for the elders of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. 2And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto all the people, Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, [even] Terach [station], the father of Avraham [Exalted Father], and the father of Nachor [snorting]: and they served other gods. 3And I took your father Avraham [Exalted Father] from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Kena’an [Merchant], and multiplied his seed, and gave him Yitz’khak [Laughter]. 4And I gave unto Yitz’khak [Laughter] Ya’akov [Heal of God] and ‘Esav [Hairy]: and I gave unto ‘Esav [Hairy] mount Se’ir [Shaggy], to possess it; but Ya’akov [Heal of God] and his children went down into Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]. 5I sent Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] also and Aharon [Bright, Very High], and I plagued Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out. 6And I brought your fathers out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: and you^2f came unto the sea; and the Mitzri pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea. 7And when they cried unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he put darkness between you and the Mitzri, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]: and you^2f dwelt in the wilderness a long season. 8And I brought you into the land of the Emori [Highlanders], which dwelt on the other side Yarden [Descender]; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that you^2f might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you. 9Then Balak [Devastator] the son of Zippor [Sparrow], king of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], arose and warred against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and sent and called Bil’am [Not of the People] the son of B’or [Burning] to curse you: 10But I would not hearken unto Bil’am [Not of the People]; therefore he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) you still: so I delivered you out of his hand. 11And you^2f went over Yarden [Descender], and came unto Yericho [Its Moon]: and the men of Yericho [Its Moon] fought against you, the Emori [Highlanders], and the P’rizi [Dwellers in Unwalled Towns], and the Kena’ani [Merchant], and the Hitti [Terrorists], and the Girgashi [Dwelling on Clay Soil], the Hivi [Villagers], and the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot]; and I delivered them into your hand. 12And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, [even] the two kings of the Emori [Highlanders]; [but] not with youⁱ sword, nor with youⁱ bow. 13And I have given you a land for which you^2f did not labour, and cities which you^2f built not, and you^2f dwell in them; of the vineyards and olive yards which you^2f planted not do you^2f eat.

14Now therefore fear the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), 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 Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; and serve you^2f the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 15And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), choose you this day whom you^2f will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Emori [Highlanders], in whose land you^2f dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

16And the people answered and said, God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forbid that we should forsake the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to serve other gods; 17For the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], he [it is] that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], 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: 18And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) drove out from before us all the people, even the Emori [Highlanders] which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we also serve the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for he [is] our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

19And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto the people, You^2f cannot serve the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): for he [is] Elohim K’doshim [A Holy God]; he [is] El Kano [A Jealous God]; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20If you^2f forsake the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he has done you good. 21And the people said unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], No; but we will serve the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 22And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto the people, You^2f [are] witnesses against yourselves that you^2f have chosen you the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to serve him. And they said, [We are] witnesses. 23Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange gods which [are] among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 24And the people said unto Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will we serve, and his voice will we obey. 25So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Sh’khem [Shoulder]. 26And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] wrote these words in the book of the law of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the sanctuary of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 27And Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it has heard all the words of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) which he spoke unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest you^2f deny your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. 28So Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.

29And it came to pass after these things, that Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] the son of Nun [Posterity], the servant of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), died, [being] an hundred and ten years old. 30And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnat-Serach [portion of the sun], which [is] in mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], on the north side of the hill of Ga’ash [Quaking].

31And Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] served the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) all the days of Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], and all the days of the elders that overlived Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], and which had known all the works of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that he had done for Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

32And the bones of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add], which the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] brought up out of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], buried they in Sh’khem [Shoulder], in a parcel of ground which Ya’akov [Heal of God] bought of the sons of Hamor [male-donkey (ass)] the father of Sh’khem [Shoulder] for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Yosef [(God) He Shall Add]. 33And El’azar [God has helped] the son of Aharon [Bright, Very High] died; and they buried him in a hill [that pertained to] Pinchas [mouth of brass] his son, which was given him in mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful].
