- " 'Then you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. The citizens of Jericho fought against you, as did also the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites, but I gave them into your hands.
- I sent the hornet ahead of you, which drove them out before you--also the two Amorite kings. You did not do it with your own sword and bow.
- So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant.'
- "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD.
- But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served 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."

- 你們過了約但河、到了耶利哥、耶利哥人、亞摩利人、比利洗人、迦南人、赫人、革迦撒人、希未人、耶布斯人、都與你們爭戰。我把他們交在你們手裡。
- 我打發黃蜂飛在你們前面、將亞摩利人的二王、從你們面前攆出、並不是用你的刀、也不是用你的弓。
- 我賜給你們地土、非你們所修治的.我賜給你們城邑、非你們所建造的.你們就住在其中.又得喫非你們所栽種的葡萄園、橄欖園的果子。
- 現在你們要敬畏耶和華、誠心實意地事奉他.將你們列祖在大河那邊和在埃及所事奉的神除掉、去事奉耶和華.
- 若是你們以事奉耶和華為不好、今日就可以選擇所要事奉的、是你們列祖在大河那邊所事奉的神呢、是你們所住這地的亞摩利人的神呢。至於我、和我家、我們必定事奉耶和華。
