Joshua 24:1-7 ▼

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.

7 And they cried out to YHWH, and He put darkness between you? and between the Egyptians, and He brought upon them the sea and covered them, and your? eyes saw what I did against Egypt, and you? dwelt in the wilderness many days.
