"Now therefore revere the Lord,

and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness.

Put away the gods that your ancestors served

beyond the River and in Egypt,

      and serve the Lord.

Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord,

choose this day whom you will serve,

whether the gods your ancestors served

      in the region beyond the River

or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living.

But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."

Then the people answered,

"Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord

      to serve other gods

For it is the Lord our God who brought us and our ancestors

up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery,

and who did those great signs in our sight.

He protected us along all the way that we went,

and among all the peoples through whom we passed.

And the Lord drove out before us all the peoples,

the Amorites who lived in the land.

Therefore we also will serve the Lord, for he is our God."
