Joshua 24:1-6 ▼

1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and he called for the elders of Israel, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its officers; and they presented themselves before the face of God.

2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘On the other side of the River dwelt Your? fathers of old—Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—and they served other gods.

3 And I took your? father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave to him Isaac.

4 And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau, and I gave to Esau Mount Seir to possess, and Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt by what I did among them, and afterward I brought you? out.

6 And I brought your? fathers out of Egypt, and you? came to the sea. And Egypt pursued after your? fathers with chariot and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
