Joshua Reviews Israel’s History

Then Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem. He summoned the elders, leaders, judges, and officers of Israel, and they presented themselves before God. Jos 23:2 1Sa 10:19 1Ki 12:1 Act 10:33 Exo 18:25-26 Gen 12:6 Gen 33:18-19 Jdg 9:1-3

And Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your fathers, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates ¹and worshiped other gods. Jos 24:15 Ezk 16:3 Gen 31:30 Deu 26:5 Gen 31:19 Gen 31:32 Gen 31:53 Gen 35:4 But I took your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan, and I multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac, Gen 12:1-4 Gen 21:2-3 Act 7:2-3 Gen 15:5 Neh 9:7-8 Psa 127:3 and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau Mount Seir to possess, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt. Deu 2:5 Gen 36:8 Act 7:15 Gen 25:24-26 Gen 32:3 Gen 46:1-7 Psa 105:23

Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians by what I did there, and afterward I brought you out. Exo 3:10 Exo 7:1-12 Exo 12:37 Exo 12:51 Exo 4:12-14 Psa 105:26-36 Psa 135:8-9 Psa 136:10 When I brought your fathers out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, ² the Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Red Sea. Act 7:36 Heb 11:29 Exo 12:37 Exo 12:51 Exo 14:1-15 Isa 63:12-13 Mic 6:4 Neh 9:11 So your fathers cried out to the LORD, and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, over whom He brought the sea and engulfed them. Your very eyes saw what I did to the Egyptians. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time. Deu 4:34 Exo 14:10 Exo 14:20 Exo 14:27-28 Exo 14:31 Neh 9:12-21 Psa 95:9-10 Deu 1:46

Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I delivered them into your hand, that you should possess their land when I destroyed them before you. Num 21:21-35 Deu 2:32 Jos 13:10 Neh 9:22 Psa 135:10-11 Psa 136:17-22 Then Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaam son of Beor to curse you, Jdg 11:25 Mic 6:5 Num 22:2 Deu 23:4-5 Num 22:5-21 but I would not listen to Balaam. So he blessed you again and again, and I delivered you from his hand. Deu 23:5 Isa 54:17 Num 24:5-10 Num 22:11-12 Num 22:35 Num 23:3-12 Num 23:15-26 Num 22:18-20

After this, you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The people of Jericho fought against you, as did the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I delivered them into your hand. Jos 3:14-17 Jos 4:10-12 Act 13:19 Act 7:45 Deu 7:1 Exo 23:23 Jos 10:1-11 Jos 4:23 I sent the hornet ahead of you, and it drove out the two Amorite kings before you, but not by your own sword or bow. Deu 7:20 Exo 23:28 Psa 44:3-6 So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities that you did not build, and now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.’ Deu 6:10-12 Deu 8:7 Jos 21:45 Pro 13:22 Jos 11:13

Choose Whom You Will Serve

(Deuteronomy 10:12–22)

Now, therefore, fear the LORD and serve Him in sincerity and truth; cast aside the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 1Sa 12:24 Deu 10:12 Gen 35:2 Jos 24:23 2Co 1:12 Psa 119:1 Jhn 4:23-24 Ezk 20:18 But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!” 1Ki 18:21 Jhn 6:67-68 Rut 1:15-16 Deu 29:18 Ezk 20:39 Act 11:23 Exo 23:32-33 Jdg 6:10

The people replied, “Far be it from us to forsake the LORD to serve other gods! Heb 10:38-39 1Sa 12:23 Rom 3:6 Rom 6:2 For the LORD our God brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us throughout our journey and among all the nations through which we traveled. Exo 19:4 Isa 63:7-14 Amo 2:9-10 Deu 32:11-12 Isa 46:4 Jos 24:5-14 And the LORD drove out before us all the nations, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will serve the LORD, because He is our God!” Exo 10:2 Mic 4:2 Psa 116:16 Luk 1:73-75 Zec 8:23 Exo 15:2

But Joshua said to the people, “You are not able to serve the LORD, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your rebellion or your sins. Exo 23:21 Isa 5:16 Psa 99:5 Psa 99:9 Exo 20:5 Lev 19:2 1Sa 6:20 Exo 34:14 If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, He will turn and bring disaster on you and consume you, even after He has been good to you.” Heb 10:26-27 1Ch 28:9 Act 7:42 Ezk 18:24 Jer 17:13 2Ch 15:2 Ezr 8:22 Isa 1:28

“No!” replied the people. “We will serve the LORD!” Deu 5:27-28 Exo 19:8 Exo 20:19 Isa 44:5 Exo 24:3 Exo 24:7 Deu 26:17

Then Joshua told them, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen to serve the LORD.” Psa 119:173 Psa 119:11 Job 15:6 Luk 10:42 Deu 26:17 Luk 19:22

“We are witnesses!” they said.

“Now, therefore,” he said, “get rid of the foreign gods among you and incline your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.” 2Co 6:16-18 Jos 24:14 1Sa 7:3-4 Gen 35:2-4 Heb 12:28-29 Jdg 10:15-16 Pro 2:2 1Co 10:19-21

So the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey His voice.” Exo 24:7 Exo 24:3 Deu 5:27-29 Exo 19:8

On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people, and there at Shechem he established for them a statute and ordinance. 2Ch 23:16 Exo 15:25 Neh 9:38 2Ki 11:17 2Ch 15:12 2Ch 15:15 2Ch 29:10 2Ch 34:29-32 Joshua recorded these things in the Book of the Law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak ³that was near the sanctuary of the LORD. Jdg 9:6 Gen 35:4 Deu 31:24-26 Exo 24:4 Gen 28:18-22 Gen 35:8 Jos 4:20-24 Jos 4:3-9 And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone. It will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God.” Luk 19:40 Jos 22:34 Deu 31:26 Jos 22:27-28 Mat 10:33 1Sa 7:12 2Ti 2:12-13 Deu 31:21

Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance. Jdg 2:6

And the bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought up out of Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the plot of land that Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. ⁵ So it became an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.
