Yehoshua 24:20-33 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

20. If ye forsake Hashem, and serve elohei nekhar (foreign g-ds), then He will turn and bring you rah, and consume you, after that He hath done you tov.

21. And HaAm said unto Yehoshua, No; but we will serve Hashem.

22. And Yehoshua said unto HaAm, Ye are edim against yourselves that ye have chosen for you Hashem, to serve Him. And they said, We are edim.

23. Now therefore put away, said he, the elohei hanechar which are among you, and yield your levav unto Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

24. And HaAm said unto Yehoshua, Hashem Eloheinu will we serve, and His voice will we obey.

25. So Yehoshua made a Brit with HaAm that day, and set them a chok and a mishpat at Shechem.

26. And Yehoshua wrote these words in the Sefer Torah Elohim, and took an Even Gedolah, and set it up there under an oak, that was near the Mikdash Hashem.

27. And Yehoshua said unto kol HaAm, Hinei, this Even (Stone) shall be as an edah (witness) unto us; for it hath heard all the words of Hashem which He spoke unto us; it shall be therefore as an edah (witness) unto you, lest ye are untrue to Eloheichem.

28. So Yehoshua sent HaAm away, every man unto his nachalah.

29. And it came to pass after these things, that Yehoshua ben Nun Eved Hashem, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

30. And they buried him in the territory of his nachalah in Timnat Serach, which is in har Ephrayim, north of Mt Ga'ash.

31. And Yisroel served Hashem all the days of Yehoshua, and all the days of the Zekenim that outlived Yehoshua, and which had da'as of kol ma'asei Hashem, that He had done for Yisroel.

32. And the atzmot Yosef, which the Bnei Yisroel brought up out of Mitzrayim, they buried at Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Ya'akov bought of the Bnei Chamor Av Shechem for a hundred pieces of silver: and it became the nachalah of the Bnei Yosef.

33. And Eleazar ben Aharon died; and they buried him on a hill that belonged to Pinchas his son, which was given him in har Ephrayim.
