Joshua 24:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 24:17

15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, ^achoose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether ^bthe gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of¹ the River, or ^cthe gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. ^dBut as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

16 So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods;

17 for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed.

18 And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. ^aWe also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.”

19 But Joshua said to the people, ^a“You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a ^bholy God. He is ^ca jealous God; ^dHe will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
