Aplikace, kterou právě používáte, je biblický program Studijní on-line bible (dále jen SOB) verze 2. Jedná se prozatím o testovací verzi, která je oproti původní verzi postavena na HTML5, využívá JavaScriptovou knihovnu JQuery a framework Bootstrap. Nová verze přináší v některých ohledech zjednodušení, v některých ohledech je tomu naopak. Hlavní výhodou by měla být možnost využívání knihovny JQuery pro novou verzi tooltipů (ze kterých je nově možné kopírovat jejich obsah, případně kliknout na aktivní odkazy na nich). V nové verzi by zobrazení překladů i vyhledávek mělo vypadat "profesionálněji", k dispozici by měly být navíc např. informace o modulech apod. Přehrávač namluvených překladů je nyní postaven na technologii HTML5, tzn., že již ke svému provozu nepotřebuje podporu Flash playeru (který již oficiálně např. pro platformu Android není k dispozici, a u kterého se počítá s postupným všeobecným útlumem).
Application you're using is a biblical program Online Bible Study (SOB), version Nr. 2. This is yet a testing release, which is (compared to the previous version) based on HTML5, uses JQuery JavaScript library and Bootstrap framework. The new version brings in some aspects simplifications. The major advantage should be the possibility of using JQuery for the new version tooltips (from which it is now possible to copy their content, or click on active hyperlinks). In the new version are also available informations about the modules and the like. The player of the narrated translations is now HTML5 powered (he does not need Flash player). I hope, that the new features will be gradually added.

| Josh 1:9: | Look; I’m commanding you to be strong and courageous! Don’t be a coward or fearful, for Jehovah your God will be with you no matter where you may go.’ |
| Josh 1:11: | ‘Go throughout the camp and tell the people to prepare their provisions; for in three days we will cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land that Jehovah the God of your ancestors is giving you.’ |
| Josh 1:13: | ‘Remember what Moses, the servant of Jehovah, told you. He said, Jehovah your God has allowed you to rest by giving you this land. |
| Josh 1:15: | [You must do this] until Jehovah your God has allowed your brothers to rest as He has [allowed] you [to rest], when they have inherited the land that Jehovah your God is giving them. Then you may each return to the inheritance that Moses gave you east of the Jordan. |
| Josh 1:17: | And just as we listened to Moses, we will listen to you… but may Jehovah our God be with you as He was with Moses. |
| Josh 2:9: | and said, ‘I know that Jehovah has given you this land, for we’re all afraid [of you]. |
| Josh 2:10: | We’ve heard how your God Jehovah dried up the Red Sea before you when you left the land of Egypt, and of the things He did to the two Amorite kings across the Jordan… to Seon and Og whom you destroyed. |
| Josh 2:11: | And when we heard this, our hearts were stunned and we were barely able to breathe because of you, for Jehovah your God is truly the God of the heavens above and the earth below. |
| Josh 2:12: | So now; Swear to me by Jehovah God, that since I’ve been merciful with you, you’ll be merciful to the house of my father, |
| Josh 2:14: | And the men replied, ‘[We will offer] our lives for yours, even to death.’ And she said, ‘When Jehovah gives this city to you, you must be merciful and true to me!’ |
| Josh 2:24: | And they said, ‘Jehovah has put the entire land under our power, because everyone who lives there is shaking because of us.’ |
| Josh 3:3: | telling the people that; when they saw the Levite Priests bearing Jehovah God’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement, they should follow along, |
| Josh 3:5: | Then JoShua told the people: ‘Make yourselves holy, because tomorrow Jehovah will perform a miracle among you.’ |
| Josh 3:6: | And JoShua said to the Priests: ‘Now, pick up Jehovah’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement and lead the people!’ So the Priests picked it up and walked ahead of the people. |
| Josh 3:7: | Then Jehovah said to JoShua: ‘Today I’m going to start [raising your prestige] before all the children of Israel, so they will know that I’m with you just as I was with Moses. |
| Josh 3:9: | Then JoShua told the children of Israel: ‘Come here and listen to the words of our God Jehovah. |
| Josh 3:14: | So the people packed up their tents to cross over the Jordan, and the Priests carried the Chest of Jehovah’s Sacred Agreement ahead of them. |
| Josh 4:1: | Well, after everyone had crossed the Jordan, Jehovah spoke to JoShua and said, |
| Josh 4:5: | and told them: ‘Now walk in front of me and in the presence of Jehovah to the middle of the Jordan. Then each of you pick up a rock from there and carry it on your shoulders, one [rock] for each of the twelve tribes of Israel, |
| Josh 4:8: | And that’s what the children of Israel did… just as Jehovah commanded JoShua, they picked up twelve rocks from the midst of the Jordan (after the children of Israel had finished the crossing) and carried them into their camp and laid them there. |
| Josh 4:9: | Then JoShua placed twelve rocks [on the bottom] of the Jordan itself, at the place where the feet of the Priests who carried the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah stood, and they are still there to this day. |
| Josh 4:10: | Well, the Priests who were carrying the Chest of the Sacred Agreement kept standing there in the Jordan until JoShua had finished all that Jehovah had commanded him to do, and until everyone had crossed. |
| Josh 4:11: | Then, after all the people had had crossed; they carried Jehovah’s Chest of the Sacred Agreement and the rocks [to the other side]. |
| Josh 4:13: | forty thousand armed men crossed before Jehovah to war with the city of Jericho. |
| Josh 4:14: | So on that day, Jehovah raised JoShua’s prestige [in the eyes of] all the people of Israel, and they started fearing him as they did Moses. |
| Josh 4:15: | Then Jehovah spoke to JoShua and said: |
| Josh 4:23: | back when our God Jehovah dried up the Jordan’s waters before them until they had all crossed, the same as He did at the Red Sea when He dried up its water until we had all crossed. |
| Josh 4:24: | [They are here] so that all the nations of the earth might know that Jehovah is powerful and mighty, and so that you will worship Jehovah our God in everything you do.’ |
| Josh 5:1: | And when the kings of the Amorites (on the [west] side of the Jordan) and the kings of Phoenicia heard that Jehovah God had dried up the Jordan River in front of the children of Israel as they crossed it, their hearts dropped, they were terrified, and they were beside themselves because of the children of Israel. |
| Josh 5:2: | It was about this time that Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Make some knives of sharp stones, then sit down and circumcise the children of Israel again.’ |
| Josh 5:9: | Then Jehovah said to JoShua (the son of NaWeh), ‘On this day I have removed the shame of Egypt from you.’ So He named that place GilGal (the Wheel). |
| Josh 5:14: | And he replied, ‘I have come as the general of the army of Jehovah!’ |
| Josh 5:16: | And the captain of Jehovah’s army said to JoShua: ‘Take off your shoes, because the place where you are standing is holy!’ |
| Josh 6:7: | ‘Give sacred trumpets to seven Priests, and have them blow [the trumpets] loudly as they walk before Jehovah… and they must be followed by the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah. |
| Josh 6:8: | ‘Then tell the people to walk in a circle around the city with the men all armed and ready for war before Jehovah. |
| Josh 6:9: | The army is to walk ahead of the Priests, who must keep blowing the trumpets, and they are to be followed by the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah.’ |
| Josh 6:12: | Then the next day, JoShua got up in the morning and the Priests picked up the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah. |
| Josh 6:13: | And the seven Priests who had the seven trumpets walked before Jehovah, followed by the men of war, the rest of the group, and then the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, as the Priests blew the trumpets. |
| Josh 6:16: | And on the seventh round, the Priests blew their trumpets, and JoShua told the children of Israel: ‘Now shout, for Jehovah has given you the city! |
| Josh 6:17: | You must dedicate it and everything that is in it to Jehovah of Armies, except for the prostitute RaHab and the things in her house. |
| Josh 6:19: | For all the gold, silver, brass, and iron is holy to Jehovah, so it must be carried to the treasury of Jehovah!’ |
| Josh 6:24: | Then the city was burned, along with everything in it, except for the gold, silver, brass, and iron, which they carried into the treasury of Jehovah. |
| Josh 6:26: | And that day, JoShua made everyone swear before Jehovah that any man who rebuilds that city will be cursed… the one who lays its foundation will lose his firstborn, and the one who rebuilds it gates will lose his youngest son. And that’s what Hozan of BethEl did; he laid the foundation [with the body of] AbiRom his firstborn, and set up its gates [with the body of] his youngest surviving son. |
| Josh 6:27: | Well, Jehovah was with JoShua, so His Name became [known] throughout the land. |
| Josh 7:1: | However, the children of Israel committed a serious sin by taking some of the things that were cursed. It was Achar (the son of Charmi, the son of Zambri and grandson of Zara) of the tribe of Judah who took the cursed things, which made Jehovah very angry with the children of Israel. |
| Josh 7:6: | Well, at this, JoShua started ripping his clothes; then he and the elders of Israel threw dust on their heads and fell with their faces to the ground before Jehovah [and lay there] until evening. |
| Josh 7:13: | ‘So now, get up and make the people holy. Tell them to make themselves holy, and then say, Jehovah the God of Israel says that you have cursed things among you, and you won’t be able to stand before your enemies until you’ve removed these cursed things. |
| Josh 7:14: | So, all the tribes must gather tomorrow morning, then Jehovah will indicate to us, which tribe, which family line, which household, and which man [is guilty]. |
| Josh 7:15: | And whoever He points to will be burned with fire for breaking the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah and making all Israel [appear] wicked.’ |
| Josh 7:19: | So JoShua said to Achar, ‘Give glory to Jehovah the God of Israel today and confess. Tell me what you’ve done… and don’t [try to] hide it from me!’ |
| Josh 7:20: | Then Achar answered JoShua and said, ‘Yes, I’ve sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and this is what I did: |
| Josh 7:23: | Then they brought them to JoShua and the elders of Israel and laid them before Jehovah. |
| Josh 7:25: | And JoShua said to Achar, ‘You’ve destroyed us, so today Jehovah is going to destroy you!’ Then all Israel stoned him with rocks. |
| Josh 7:26: | And it was after they covered him with a huge pile of rocks that Jehovah’s rage ended. This is why that place is called The Valley of Achar (the Troublemaker) to this day. |
| Josh 8:1: | Then Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Don’t be afraid or tremble, but now you must take all the men of war and return to Gai. For look; I’ve given the king of Gai and his land into your hands! |
| Josh 8:18: | Then Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Now, raise the spear that’s in your hand toward the city, for I’ve given it into your hands. And those who are hiding must quickly get up and enter [the city].’ |
| Josh 8:27: | Then (other than the things that were in the city) the children of Israel took all the rest as loot for themselves, following the command that Jehovah gave JoShua. |
| Josh 8:30: | Then JoShua built an altar to Jehovah (the God of Israel) on Mount Ebal, |
| Josh 8:31: | just as Moses (Jehovah’s servant) had commanded the children of Israel, and as it is written in the Law of Moses. It was an altar made of stones that hadn’t been cut or touched by iron. And there he sacrificed whole burnt offerings and a peace offering to Jehovah. |
| Josh 8:33: | Thereafter, all Israel (including their elders, judges, and scribes) filed past the Chest on either side. Then the Levite Priests carried the Chest of the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah, as the aliens and the natives were divided into two groups. One half was stationed near Mount GiriZim, and the other half near Mount Ebal, just as Moses (Jehovah’s servant) had commanded, to receive the first blessing of the people. |
| Josh 9:3: | However, when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Jehovah did to Jericho and Gai, |
| Josh 9:9: | And they replied, ‘Your servants have come from a far away country in the Name of Jehovah your God. For we have heard of His Name and of all that He did in Egypt, |
| Josh 9:14: | So the leaders [of Israel] shared their provisions with them, and then they failed to ask Jehovah’s direction. |
| Josh 9:18: | but they didn’t fight against them, because all the leaders had sworn an oath before Jehovah the God of Israel. And this caused the whole gathering to start grumbling against their leaders. |
| Josh 9:19: | However, the leaders spoke to the gathering and said, ‘We have sworn [an oath] to them by Jehovah the God of Israel, so now we can’t touch them! |
| Josh 9:24: | And they replied to JoShua, ‘We were told that Jehovah your God ordered his servant Moses to [take] this land and to destroy us, and all who live here. And it was because we feared for our lives that we did this thing! |
| Josh 9:27: | Then JoShua made them woodcutters and water bearers to the whole gathering and for the Altar of God; so the inhabitants of Gibeon will serve as our woodcutters and water bearers for the Altar of God, even in that [future] place that will be chosen by Jehovah. |
| Josh 10:8: | And Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Don’t be afraid, for I’m giving them into your hands. There won’t be any of them left to stand before you!’ |
| Josh 10:10: | Then Jehovah struck them with terror before the children of Israel… he destroyed them with a great slaughter there at Gibeon, and chased them all the way to the road to Oronin, and to Azeca and Makeda. |
| Josh 10:11: | And as they were fleeing the children of Israel at the descent from Oronin, Jehovah threw hailstones from the sky at them all the way to Azeca, and more died from the hailstones than were killed in battle by the children of Israel. |
| Josh 10:12: | Then JoShua spoke to Jehovah that day, as He was giving the Amorites into the [hands] of Israel. While they were destroying [their enemies] at Gibeon, JoShua said, ‘May the sun stand still over Gibeon and may the moon [stand still] over the valley of AiLon!’ |
| Josh 10:19: | But don’t just stop there; keep chasing your enemies and attacking them from the rear. Don’t allow them to enter their cities, for Jehovah our God has given them into our hands!’ |
| Josh 10:25: | and JoShua said, ‘Now, don’t be afraid or act cowardly… be courageous and strong! For this is what Jehovah will do to all the enemies who you will fight against.’ |
| Josh 10:30: | and Jehovah gave it into their hands. They captured it and its king, and they killed the inhabitants with swords… they killed everything that breathed there, and no one survived or escaped. Then they also did to its king as they had done to the king of Jericho. |
| Josh 10:32: | And Jehovah handed LachIsh over to Israel, capturing it on the second day, and then they put all the inhabitants to death with swords and destroyed [the city], as they had done to Lebna. |
| Josh 10:35: | Jehovah gave it into the hands of Israel on that same day, and they killed the inhabitants and every breathing thing there with swords, as they had done at LachIsh. |
| Josh 10:40: | Then JoShua attacked all the hill country, the Negev, the plain country, AsedOth, and all their kings… they didn’t spare any of them. They destroyed everything that had the breath of life, just as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded, |
| Josh 10:42: | JoShua struck down all their kings once and for all and [captured] their land, because Jehovah the God of Israel was fighting on their side. |
| Josh 11:6: | Then Jehovah said to JoShua, ‘Don’t be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this same time I will make them retreat before Israel. Then you must hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.’ |
| Josh 11:8: | and Jehovah gave them into Israel’s hands. They struck them down and chased them all the way to Sidon, MasEron, and eastward to the plains of MasSoch… they kept destroying until there no one was left. |
| Josh 11:9: | Then JoShua did as Jehovah commanded; he hamstrung the horses and burned their chariots in a fire. |
| Josh 11:12: | Thereafter, JoShua conquered all the cities that belonged to those kings, and killed everyone with swords. He left no survivors, just as Moses (the servant of Jehovah) had commanded. |
| Josh 11:15: | For, this is what Jehovah had commanded His servant Moses to do, and it’s what Moses commanded JoShua to do, so JoShua did everything that Moses commanded. |
| Josh 11:20: | For Jehovah hardened all the hearts [of the people in those cities] when they went to war against Israel, so that they might be destroyed without mercy, just as Jehovah told Moses. |
| Josh 11:23: | Thereafter, JoShua took all their land, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and [divided] it among Israel by their tribes as their inheritance. And then the war ended. |
| Josh 12:6: | They were the ones who Moses (the servant of Jehovah) and the children of Israel struck down, and whose [land] Moses gave as an inheritance to Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh. |
| Josh 13:1: | By then, JoShua had grown very old, so Jehovah said to him, ‘You’re getting very old and there’s still a lot of land to [divide as] inheritances, |
| Josh 13:8: | Its boundaries run from the Jordan westward to the [Mediterranean] Sea.’ Now, Moses (the servant of Jehovah) had already given the two tribes of Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh their inheritance in the east, across the Jordan, |
| Josh 13:14: | However, no inheritance was given to the tribe of Levi, for Jehovah the God of Israel is their inheritance, as He told them. Here is how Moses divided the land among the children of Israel at ArabOth Moab on the other side of the Jordan near Jericho: |
| Josh 14:2: | The nine-and-a-half tribes received their inheritances in a lottery, just as Jehovah commanded JoShua, |
| Josh 14:5: | So the children of Israel did just as Jehovah commanded Moses, and they divided up the land. |
| Josh 14:6: | Then (one of) the sons of Judah (Caleb, the son of JePhoNe the Kenite) went to JoShua at GilGal and said to him: ‘You know what Jehovah said to Moses (the man of God) about me at Cades Barne. |
| Josh 14:8: | However, although my brothers who went with me preferred to listen to the people, I kept following my God Jehovah. |
| Josh 14:9: | So Moses swore on that day, saying, The land where you went will become the inheritance of you and your children through the ages, because you made sure that you followed our God Jehovah. |
| Josh 14:10: | ‘So Jehovah has kept me alive until now, and this is the forty-fifth year since [the time when Jehovah] said that to Moses, and [during which] Israel [lived] in the desert. And today {Look!} I’m eighty-five years old, |
| Josh 14:11: | yet I’m still as strong as when Jehovah sent me; in fact, I’m still strong enough to fight as a soldier! |
| Josh 14:12: | And now I ask of you for this mountain [to fulfill Jehovah’s promise], which you heard that day. And although the Enakim are here in large fortified cities; if Jehovah is with me, I’ll destroy them just as Jehovah has instructed me.’ |
| Josh 14:14: | And since then, Hebron has been the inheritance of Caleb, because he followed the commandments of Jehovah, the God of Israel. |
| Josh 17:4: | So they went before JoShua, EliEzer the Priest, and the rulers and said, ‘God commanded Moses to give us an inheritance in the midst of our family.’ So at the command of Jehovah, they were given an inheritance among their uncles. |
| Josh 18:3: | Then JoShua said to the sons of Israel, ‘How much longer are you going to hold back from inheriting the land that Jehovah our God has given you? |
| Josh 18:6: | But, now you must divide the [rest of] land into seven parts, and then bring the descriptions here to me and I will parcel them out in a lottery before Jehovah our God. |
| Josh 18:7: | However, the sons of Levi won’t receive a share among you, for the Priesthood of Jehovah is their portion. Also, Gad, Ruben, and the half tribe of ManasSeh have already received their inheritance east of the Jordan, which was given to them by Moses, the servant of Jehovah.’ |
| Josh 18:8: | Then, as the men got up to leave, JoShua gave these orders to those who were to explore the land: ‘Go and explore the land, then come to me and I will divide it in a lottery here before Jehovah in Shiloh.’ |
| Josh 18:10: | And JoShua threw lots for them before Jehovah there at Shiloh. |
| Josh 19:51: | These are the divisions that EliEzer the Priest, JoShua (the son of NaWeh), and the family heads of the tribes of Israel assigned in a lottery before Jehovah at Shiloh, at the entrance to the Tent of Proofs. And thereafter, they each went out to take possession of their lands. |
| Josh 20:1: | Then Jehovah spoke to JoShua and said, |
| Josh 21:2: | at Shiloh in the land of CanaAn, and said, ‘[Remember that Jehovah] gave the commandment through Moses that we should be given cities to live in, along with their surrounding countrysides (for our cattle).’ |
| Josh 21:3: | So, following the commands of Jehovah, the children of Israel gave the Levites cities and their surrounding countryside as their inheritance. |
| Josh 21:8: | The children of Israel also gave the Levites the land around their cities, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, which were divided in a lottery. |
| Josh 21:40: | and all their surrounding land and suburbs. Then JoShua stopped dividing the land and setting their borders, and the children of Israel gave JoShua his portion, because this is what Jehovah had commanded them. They gave him the city that he asked for, ThamnaSarach in the hills of EphraIm. Then JoShua built the city and lived there. Thereafter, JoShua took stone knives and circumcised the children of Israel who were born along the way in the desert, and had [them recuperate] at ThamnaSarach. |
| Josh 21:41: | So Jehovah gave Israel all the land that He had promised to their ancestors; so they inherited it and lived there. |
| Josh 21:43: | And all the good things that Jehovah promised the children of Israel happened. |
| Josh 22:2: | and said to them, ‘You’ve heard all that Moses (the servant of Jehovah) commanded you, and you’ve paid attention to everything I said to you about his instructions. |
| Josh 22:3: | You haven’t deserted your brothers during all this time and you’ve followed the commandments of your God Jehovah. |
| Josh 22:4: | So, now that our God Jehovah has given our brothers [a place] where they can rest (as He promised), you can go back to your land and your homes that Moses gave you on the other side the Jordan. |
| Josh 22:5: | However, be careful to obey the Commandments and the Law that Moses (the servant of Jehovah) gave you… love Jehovah our God, walk in all His paths, keep His commandments, stick with Him, and serve Him with your whole mind and life.’ |
| Josh 22:9: | So, the sons of Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh left the children of Israel in Shiloh (in the land of CanaAn) and headed toward Gilead and the land they inherited at the command of Jehovah through Moses. |
| Josh 22:16: | ‘This is what the whole gathering of Jehovah wants to know: What is this sin that you’ve committed before the God of Israel by building yourselves an altar? Did you do this so you can turn away from Him? |
| Josh 22:17: | Was the sin at Phogor – from which we have yet to be cleansed – that insignificant to you, despite the fact that it brought a plague among the entire gathering of Jehovah? |
| Josh 22:18: | And now you’ve revolted against Jehovah, so tomorrow you will know the wrath of all Israel! |
| Josh 22:19: | ‘Why, if your land is too small for you, cross over [the Jordan] into the land that Jehovah [gave us] and where the Tent of Jehovah stays and receive an inheritance among us. Don’t turn away from God by building an altar apart from the Altar of Jehovah! |
| Josh 22:22: | ‘God – our God – is Jehovah. And God Himself knows, and Israel knows, that if we have broken away from Jehovah and turned aside, He won’t save us today. |
| Josh 22:23: | But we didn’t build ourselves an altar to turn away from Him or to sacrifice whole burnt offerings or peace offerings on it (those things that Jehovah requires). |
| Josh 22:24: | Rather, we have done this as precaution. We did it for fear that in the future, your sons might ask our sons what they have to do with Jehovah, the God of Israel. |
| Josh 22:25: | ‘Now that Jehovah has set a boundary between you and us (the Jordan), we don’t want your sons to alienate our sons and keep them from worshiping Jehovah. |
| Josh 22:27: | but as a witness between you and us and between our children, that we do serve Jehovah, and that we will sacrifice our burnt offerings, meat offerings, and peace offerings to Him. Then your sons won’t be able to say to our sons that we don’t [belong to] Jehovah. |
| Josh 22:28: | ‘Therefore, to prevent them from ever saying such a thing to us or our descendants, [we want them to] see our representation of the altar of Jehovah. It wasn’t built for the sake of burnt offerings or meat offerings, but as a witness between you and us and between our sons. |
| Josh 22:29: | Far be it from us to turn away from Jehovah today or to turn away from Him and build an altar for burnt offerings or peace offerings separate from the Altar of Jehovah that stands before His Tent.’ |
| Josh 22:31: | Then Phineas the Priest said, ‘Today we know that Jehovah is with us, because you aren’t guilty of a serious sin against Jehovah and you have saved the children of Israel from the hand of Jehovah.’ |
| Josh 22:34: | Thereafter, JoShua named the altar of the children of Ruben, Gad, and the half tribe of ManasSeh, and said, ‘It is their testimony that Jehovah is their God.’ |
| Josh 23:1: | Jehovah had allowed Israel to rest from all their enemies [who lived] around them for a considerable time, until JoShua was old and up in years. |
| Josh 23:3: | and you’ve seen all that Jehovah our God has done to these nations around us and how your God fought for you. |
| Josh 23:5: | and Jehovah our God will destroy them before us until they’re all gone. For, He will send wild animals against them until He has destroyed them and their kings, then you will inherit their land, just as Jehovah our God has promised. |
| Josh 23:8: | Rather, you must stick to Jehovah our God, just as you have been doing until now. |
| Josh 23:9: | Then Jehovah will destroy them – even the great and strong nations – from among you, for no one has been able to stand against us so far. |
| Josh 23:10: | Why, each one among you has been able to chase a thousand, for Jehovah our God fought for you as He had promised. |
| Josh 23:11: | So, be sure to love Jehovah our God. |
| Josh 23:13: | realize that Jehovah won’t destroy them. Rather, they will become snares and stumbling blocks – nails in your heels, and darts in your eyes – until they’ve wiped you out of this good land that Jehovah your God has given you. |
| Josh 23:14: | ‘And now, I’m getting ready to die, as does everyone else on this earth. But know in your hearts and souls that not a single word has failed of all the things that Jehovah our God has [promised] about us. |
| Josh 23:15: | And after all the good things that Jehovah God will bring upon you are done, remember that He will also do bad things until He wipes you out of this good land that He has given you, |
| Josh 23:16: | if you break the Sacred Agreement of Jehovah our God and go and serve other gods and bow before them.’ |
| Josh 24:2: | And JoShua spoke to all the people and said, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of Israel said: Your ancestors (such as Tara, the father of Abraham and Nahor) once stayed beyond the river and served other gods. |
| Josh 24:7: | Then, when they called out to Jehovah, I put a cloud and darkness between [them and] the Egyptians, and brought the Sea down upon [the Egyptians] and covered them. ‘Why, your eyes have seen all that Jehovah did in the land of Egypt, and of how you spent a long time in the desert. |
| Josh 24:8: | And now He has brought us into the land of the Amorites who lived across the Jordan, and Jehovah has given them into our hands… you have inherited their land and destroyed them! |
| Josh 24:10: | Yet, Jehovah your God wouldn’t destroy you; He blessed us and saved us from their hands, then He handed them over to us. |
| Josh 24:11: | ‘Thereafter, you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho, where the people of Jericho fought against us – as did the Amorites, CanaAnites, Pherezites, Evites, Jebusites, Hittites, and the Gergesites – and Jehovah gave them all into our hands. |
| Josh 24:14: | So, fear Jehovah and serve Him righteously and justly… get rid of all the strange gods that our ancestors served across the river and in Egypt, and serve Jehovah! |
| Josh 24:15: | ‘However, if you don’t wish to serve Jehovah, then choose who you will serve today… whether it’s the gods of your ancestors that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you’re now living. But as for me and my household, we will serve Jehovah, because He alone is holy!’ |
| Josh 24:16: | And the people answered, ‘We won’t leave Jehovah and serve other gods. |
| Josh 24:17: | Why, our God Jehovah is God! For, it was He who brought our ancestors and us out of Egypt, and who protected us all along the way that we walked, and from all the nations that we passed. |
| Josh 24:18: | And it was Jehovah who threw out the Amorites and all the other nations that lived in this land. Yes, we will serve Jehovah, for He is our God!’ |
| Josh 24:19: | Then JoShua said to the people, ‘You won’t really be able to serve Jehovah, because He is holy. And because He’s zealous, He won’t forgive your sins and your errors. |
| Josh 24:20: | So when you leave Jehovah to serve other gods, He will come against you, oppress you, and consume you, because He has done good things for you.’ |
| Josh 24:21: | Then the people replied, ‘No! We will serve Jehovah!’ |
| Josh 24:22: | And JoShua said, ‘Then you are witnesses against yourselves that you’ve chosen to serve Jehovah. |
| Josh 24:23: | So now, get rid of all the strange gods that you have, and set your hearts right with Jehovah, the God of Israel.’ |
| Josh 24:24: | And the people replied, ‘We will serve Jehovah and listen to His voice!’ |
| Josh 24:26: | And then he wrote those words in the book of the Laws of God. And JoShua took a large block of stone and erected it under the oak tree before Jehovah. |
| Josh 24:27: | Then he told the people, ‘Look, this stone will serve as a witness among you, for it has heard all the words that you’ve said before Jehovah. And because He has spoken to you today, this stone will serve as a witness against you in the last days when you deal treacherously with my God Jehovah.’ |
| Josh 24:29: | Thereafter, JoShua (the son of NaWeh), the servant of Jehovah, died at the age of a hundred and ten, |
| Josh 24:30: | and they buried him in the land that he had inherited in Thamna Sarach, in the hills of EphraIm north of Mount Gilead. They put his [body] in a tomb, along with the stone knives that he had used to circumcise the children of Israel at GilGal, after Jehovah brought them out of Egypt… and they are still there today. |
| Josh 24:31: | Well, Israel served Jehovah for as long as JoShua and the elders of JoShua’s era (who knew all that Jehovah had done for Israel) were still alive. |
| Josh 24:33: | Shortly thereafter, EliEzer (Aaron’s son) the High Priest also died and was buried in GabaA in the hills of EphraIm (which had been given to his son Phineas). And on that day, the children of Israel took the Chest of God and carried it among the people. Then Phineas was appointed as [High] Priest in place of his father EliEzer (after his death and burial at GabaA). Thereafter, the children of Israel each left and returned to their own cities and homes, and they started worshiping Astarte, AstarOth, and the gods of the nations around them. So, Jehovah handed them over to Eglom, the king of Moab, who ruled over them for the next eighteen years. |
