Joshua 24:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 24:2

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.

6 ‘Then I ^abrought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea; and the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea.

7 So they cried out to the Lord; and He put ^adarkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And ^byour eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness ^ca long time.
