24 2 Joshua rehearseth God’s benefits, 14 and exhorteth the people to fear God. 25 The league renewed between God and the people. 29 Joshua dieth. 32 The bones of Joseph are buried. 33 Eleazar dieth.
1 And Joshua assembled again all the [a]tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called the Elders of Israel, and their heads, and their Judges, and their officers, and they presented themselves before [b]God.
2 Then Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, (A)Your fathers dwelt beyond the [c]flood in old time, even Terah the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor, and served other gods.
3 And I took your father Abraham from beyond the flood, and brought him through all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and (B)gave him Isaac.
