- 你们过了约旦河,到了耶利哥。耶利哥人,亚摩利人,比利洗人,迦南人,赫人,革迦撒人,希未人,耶布斯人都与你们争战。我把他们交在你们手里。
- 我打发黄蜂飞在你们前面,将亚摩利人的二王从你们面前撵出,并不是用你的刀,也不是用你的弓。
- 我赐给你们地土,非你们所修治的。我赐给你们城邑,非你们所建造的。你们就住在其中,又得吃非你们所栽种的葡萄园,橄榄园的果子。
- 现在你们要敬畏耶和华,诚心实意地事奉他,将你们列祖在大河那边和在埃及所事奉的神除掉,去事奉耶和华。
- 若是你们以事奉耶和华为不好,今日就可以选择所要事奉的,是你们列祖在大河那边所事奉的神呢。是你们所住这地的亚摩利人的神呢。至于我和我家,我们必定事奉耶和华。

- " '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."
