Joshua 24:1-5, 14-15

Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem  and summoned Israel’s elders, leaders, judges, and officers, and they presented themselves before God.  Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah,  the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods. But I took your father Abraham from the region beyond the Euphrates River, led him throughout the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants.  I gave him Isaac,  and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau.  I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau as a possession.  “ ‘Jacob and his sons, however, went down to Egypt.  I sent Moses and Aaron,  and I defeated Egypt by what I did within it, and afterward I brought you out.

“Therefore, fear the LORD and worship him in sincerity and truth.  Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped  beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and worship the LORD. But if it doesn’t please you to worship the LORD, choose for yourselves today: Which will you worship — the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living?  As for me and my family, we will worship the LORD.”
