The Covenant at Shechem
1 Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to aShechem and bcalled for the elders of Israel, for their heads, for their judges, and for their officers; and they cpresented themselves before God.
2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: a‘Your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, dwelt on the other side of1 the River in old times; and bthey served other gods.
3 aThen I took your father Abraham from the other side of1 the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants and bgave him Isaac.
4 To Isaac I gave aJacob and Esau. To bEsau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, cbut Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
5 aAlso I sent Moses and Aaron, and bI plagued Egypt, according to what I did among them. Afterward I brought you out.
