1 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) gathered all the tribes of God Prevails (Israel) to Shoulder (Shechem), and called for the elders of God Prevails (Israel), and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and they presented themselves before God ('Elohiym).
2 There, I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to
all the people: This says I AM, God (Yehovah-Elohyim) of God Prevails (Israel):
Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, Spirited Station
(Terah), the father of Father of a Multitude (Abraham), and the father of Snorting
(Nachor): and they served other gods.
3 I took your father, Father of a
Multitude (Abraham), from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout
all the land of Humbled One (Canaan), and multiplied his seed, and gave him Laughter
(Isaac).
4 Then I gave to Laughter (Isaac) Heel-Grabber
(Jacob) and Hairy (Esau): and I gave to Hairy (Esau) Mount Shaggy (Seir), to
possess it; but Heel-Grabber (Jacob) and his children went down into Double
Straights (Egypt).
5 I sent Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer
(Aaron), and I plagued Double Straights (Egypt), according to that which I did
among them: and afterward I brought you out.
6 When I brought your fathers out of Double
Straights (Egypt): and you came to the sea, the Double Straights (Egyptians) pursued after your fathers with
chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.
7 When they cried to I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah), He put darkness between you and the Double Straights (Egyptians), and
brought the sea upon them, covering them; and your eyes have seen what I have
done in Double Straights (Egypt): and you dwelt in the wilderness a long
season.
8 So I brought you into the land of The
Talkers, Sayers (Amorites), which dwelt on the other side The Descender
(Jordan); and they fought with you: so I gave them into your hand, that you
might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
9 Then Devastator (Balak) the son of Sparrow
(Zippor), king of Of His Father (Moab), arose and warred against God Prevails
(Israel), and sent and called Not of the People (Balaam) the son of Burning
(Beor) to curse you:
10 But I would not listen to Not of the
People (Balaam); therefore, he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his
hand.
11 Then you went over The Descender
(Jordan), and came to Its Moon (Jericho): and the men of Its Moon (Jericho)
fought against you, The Talkers, Sayers (Amorites), and the Those Belonging to
a Village (Perizzites), and the Humbled One (Canaanites), and the Terrors
(Hittite), and the Dwelling of Clayey Soil (Girgashites), the Villagers
(Hivites), and the Trodden Underfoot (Jebusites); and I delivered them into
your hand.
12 I sent the hornet before you, which drove
them out from before you, the two kings of The Talkers, Sayers (Amorites); but
not with your sword, nor with your bow.
13 I have given you a land for which you
did not labor, and cities which you built not, and you dwell in them; you eat of
the vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant.
14 Now therefore fear I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah), 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 Double Straights
(Egypt); and serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
15 If it seems evil to you to serve I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah), 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 Talkers, Sayers (Amorites), in whose land you dwell: but as for me and
my house, we will serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
16 And the people answered and said, God
forbid that we should forsake I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), to serve other gods;
17 For I AM our God (Yehovah-Elohyim), it
is He that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Double Straights
(Egypt), from the house of bondage, and who 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:
18 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) drove out
from before us all the people, even The Talkers, Sayers (Amorites) which dwelt
in the land: therefore, will we also serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah); for he is
our God ('Elohiym).
19 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to the
people: You cannot serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): for He is a holy God
('Elohiym); He is a jealous God ('Elohiym); He will not forgive your
transgressions nor your sins.
20 If you forsake I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah), and serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you hurt, and
consume you after He has done you good.
21 And the people said to I AM is
Salvation (Joshua): No; but we will serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
22 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to
the people: You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen I AM (the
LORD, Yehovah), to serve Him. And they said: We are witnesses.
23 Now, therefore, put away the strange
gods which are among you, and incline your heart to I AM, God (Yehovah-Elohyim)
of God Prevails (Israel).
24 And the people said to I AM is
Salvation (Joshua), I AM our God (Yehovah-Elohyim) will we serve, and His voice
will we obey.
25 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) made a
covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shoulder
(Shechem).
26 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) wrote
these words in the book of the law of God ('Elohiym) and took a great stone,
and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of I AM (the LORD,
Yehovah).
27 There I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to
all the people: Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us; for it has heard
all the words of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) which He spoke to us: it shall be
therefore a witness to you, lest you deny your God ('Elohiym).
28 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) let the
people depart, every man to his inheritance.
29 And it came to pass after these
things, that I AM is Salvation (Joshua) the son of Nun, the servant of I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah), died, being a hundred and ten years old.
30 They buried him in the border of his
inheritance in Portion of the Sun (Timnathserah), which is in Mount Double
Ash-Heap: Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim), on the north side of the hill of Quaking
(Gaash).
31 So God Prevails (Israel) served I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah) all the days of I AM is Salvation (Joshua), and all the
days of the elders that outlived I AM is Salvation (Joshua), who had known all
the works of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), that He had done for God Prevails
(Israel).
32 They buried the bones of I AM Will Add
(Joseph), which the Children of God Prevails (Israel) brought up out of Double
Straights (Egypt), in Shoulder (Shechem), in a parcel of ground which Heel-Grabber
(Jacob) bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shoulder (Shechem) for a
hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of I AM
Will Add (Joseph).
33 Then God Has Helped (Eleazar) the son
of Light Bringer (Aaron) died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Mouth
of Brass (Phinehas) his son, which was given him in mount Double Ash-Heap:
Doubly Fruitful (Ephraim).
