| 23 1 | A long time afterward, when Yahweh had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well advanced in years, | Joshua's farewell address. Jos.23.1-24.28 | וַיְהִי מִיָּמִים רַבִּים אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־הֵנִיחַ יְהוָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל מִכָּל־אֹיְבֵיהֶם מִסָּבִיב וִיהֹושֻׁעַ זָקֵן בָּא בַּיָּמִים׃ |
|
| 2 | JOSHUA summoned all Israel, their elders and heads, their judges and officers, and said to them, "I am now old and well advanced in years; | | וַיִּקְרָא יְהֹושֻׁעַ לְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לִזְקֵנָיו וּלְרָאשָׁיו וּלְשֹׁפְטָיו וּלְשֹׁטְרָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם אֲנִי זָקַנְתִּי בָּאתִי בַּיָּמִים׃ |
|
| 3 | and you have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to all these nations for your sake, for it is Yahweh your God who has fought for you. | | וְאַתֶּם רְאִיתֶם אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם לְכָל־הַגֹּויִם הָאֵלֶּה מִפְּנֵיכֶם כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הוּא הַנִּלְחָם לָכֶם׃ |
|
| 4 | Behold, I have allotted to you as an inheritance for your tribes those nations that remain, along with all the nations that I have already cut off, from the Jordan to the Great Sea in the west. | | רְאוּ הִפַּלְתִּי לָכֶם אֶת־הַגֹּויִם הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּנַחֲלָה לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶם מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּן וְכָל־הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר הִכְרַתִּי וְהַיָּם הַגָּדֹול מְבֹוא הַשָּׁמֶשׁ׃ |
|
| 5 | Yahweh your God will push them back before you, and drive them out of your sight; and you shall possess their land, as Yahweh your God promised you. | | וַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הוּא יֶהְדֳּפֵם מִפְּנֵיכֶם וְהֹורִישׁ אֹתָם מִלִּפְנֵיכֶם וִירִשְׁתֶּם אֶת־אַרְצָם כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם לָכֶם׃ |
|
| 6 | Therefore be very steadfast to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, turning aside from it neither to the right hand nor to the left, | | וַחֲזַקְתֶּם מְאֹד לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשֹׂות אֵת כָּל־הַכָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר תֹּורַת מֹשֶׁה לְבִלְתִּי סוּר־מִמֶּנּוּ יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול׃ |
|
| 7 | that you may not be mixed with these nations left here among you, or make mention of the names of their gods, or swear by them, or serve them, or bow down yourselves to them, | | לְבִלְתִּי־בֹוא בַּגֹּויִם הָאֵלֶּה הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אִתְּכֶם וּבְשֵׁם אֱלֹהֵיהֶם לֹא־תַזְכִּירוּ וְלֹא תַשְׁבִּיעוּ וְלֹא תַעַבְדוּם וְלֹא תִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָהֶם׃ |
|
| 8 | but cleave to Yahweh your God as you have done to this day. | | כִּי אִם־בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם תִּדְבָּקוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר עֲשִׂיתֶם עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ |
|
| 9 | For Yahweh has driven out before you great and strong nations; and as for you, no man has been able to withstand you to this day. | | וַיֹּורֶשׁ יְהוָה מִפְּנֵיכֶם גֹּויִם גְּדֹלִים וַעֲצוּמִים וְאַתֶּם לֹא־עָמַד אִישׁ בִּפְנֵיכֶם עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ |
|
| 10 | One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he promised you. | | אִישׁ־אֶחָד םִכֶּם יִרְדָּף־אָלֶף כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם הוּא הַנִּלְחָם לָכֶם כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר לָכֶם׃ |
|
| 11 | Take good heed to yourselves, therefore, to love Yahweh your God. | | וְנִשְׁמַרְתֶּם מְאֹד לְנַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם לְאַהֲבָה אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
|
| 12 | For if you turn back, and join the remnant of these nations left here among you, and make marriages with them, so that you marry their women and they yours, | | כִּי אִם־שֹׁוב תָּשׁוּבוּ וּדְבַקְתֶּם בְּיֶתֶר הַגֹּויִם הָאֵלֶּה הַנִּשְׁאָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אִתְּכֶם וְהִתְחַתַּנְתֶּם בָּהֶם וּבָאתֶם בָּהֶם וְהֵם בָּכֶם׃ |
|
| 13 | know assuredly that Yahweh your God will not continue to drive out these nations before you; but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a scourge on your sides, and thorns in your eyes, till you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you. | | יָדֹועַ תֵּדְעוּ כִּי לֹא יֹוסִיף יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם לְהֹורִישׁ אֶת־הַגֹּויִם הָאֵלֶּה מִלִּפְנֵיכֶם וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לְפַח וּלְמֹוקֵשׁ וּלְשֹׁטֵט בְּצִדֵּיכֶם וְלִצְנִנִים בְּעֵינֵיכֶם עַד־אֲבָדְכֶם מֵעַל הָאֲדָמָה הַטֹּובָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
|
| 14 | "And now I am about to go the way of all the earth, and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God promised concerning you; all have come to pass for you, not one of them has failed. | | וְהִנֵּה אָנֹכִי הֹולֵךְ הַיֹּום בְּדֶרֶךְ כָּל־הָאָרֶץ וִידַעְתֶּם בְּכָל־לְבַבְכֶם וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁכֶם כִּי לֹא־נָפַל דָּבָר אֶחָד מִכֹּל הַדְּבָרִים הַטֹּובִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם עֲלֵיכֶם הַכֹּל בָּאוּ לָכֶם לֹא־נָפַל מִמֶּנּוּ דָּבָר אֶחָד׃ |
|
| 15 | But just as all the good things which Yahweh your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you, so Yahweh will bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you, | | וְהָיָה כַּאֲשֶׁר־בָּא עֲלֵיכֶם כָּל־הַדָּבָר הַטֹּוב אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲלֵיכֶם כֵּן יָבִיא יְהוָה עֲלֵיכֶם אֵת כָּל־הַדָּבָר הָרָע עַד־הַשְׁמִידֹו אֹותְכֶם מֵעַל הָאֲדָמָה הַטֹּובָה הַזֹּאת אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
|
| 16 | if you transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them. Then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you." | | בְּעָבְרְכֶם אֶת־בְּרִית יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֶתְכֶם וַהֲלַכְתֶּם וַעֲבַדְתֶּם אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוִיתֶם לָהֶם וְחָרָה אַף־יְהוָה בָּכֶם וַאֲבַדְתֶּם מְהֵרָה מֵעַל הָאָרֶץ הַטֹּובָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָכֶם׃ ף |
|
| 24 1 | Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel; and they presented themselves before God. | | וַיֶּאֶסֹף יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶת־כָּל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁכֶמָה וַיִּקְרָא לְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּלְרָאשָׁיו וּלְשֹׁפְטָיו וּלְשֹׁטְרָיו וַיִּתְיַצְּבוּ לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים׃ |
|
| 2 | And Joshua said to all the people, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, 'Your fathers lived of old beyond the Euphrates, Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods. | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־כָּל־הָעָם כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר יָשְׁבוּ אֲבֹותֵיכֶם מֵעֹולָם תֶּרַח אֲבִי אַבְרָהָם וַאֲבִי נָחֹור וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים׃ |
|
| 3 | Then I took your father Abraham from beyond the River and led him through all the land of Canaan, and made his offspring many. I gave him Isaac; | | וָאֶקַּח אֶת־אֲבִיכֶם אֶת־אַבְרָהָם מֵעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וָאֹולֵךְ אֹותֹו בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן כ= וָאֶרֶב ק= וָאַרְבֶּה אֶת־זַרְעֹו וָאֶתֶּן־לֹו אֶת־יִצְחָק׃ |
|
| 4 | and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. And I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt. | | וָאֶתֵּן לְיִצְחָק אֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־עֵשָׂו וָאֶתֵּן לְעֵשָׂו אֶת־הַר שֵׂעִיר לָרֶשֶׁת אֹותֹו וְיַעֲקֹב וּבָנָיו יָרְדוּ מִצְרָיִם׃ |
|
| 5 | And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt with what I did in the midst of it; and afterwards I brought you out. | | וָאֶשְׁלַח אֶת־מֹשֶׁה וְאֶת־אַהֲרֹן וָאֶגֹּף אֶת־מִצְרַיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי בְּקִרְבֹּו וְאַחַר הֹוצֵאתִי אֶתְכֶם׃ |
|
| 6 | Then I brought 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. | | וָאֹוצִיא אֶת־אֲבֹותֵיכֶם מִמִּצְרַיִם וַתָּבֹאוּ הַיָּמָּה וַיִּרְדְּפוּ מִצְרַיִם אַחֲרֵי אֲבֹותֵיכֶם בְּרֶכֶב וּבְפָרָשִׁים יַם־סוּף׃ |
|
| 7 | And when they cried to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did to Egypt; and you lived in the wilderness a long time. | | וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה וַיָּשֶׂם מַאֲפֵל בֵּינֵיכֶם וּבֵין הַמִּצְרִים וַיָּבֵא עָלָיו אֶת־הַיָּם וַיְכַסֵּהוּ וַתִּרְאֶינָה עֵינֵיכֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי בְּמִצְרָיִם וַתֵּשְׁבוּ בַמִּדְבָּר יָמִים רַבִּים׃ |
|
| 8 | Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan; they fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you. | | כ= וָאָבִאָה ק= וָאָבִיא אֶתְכֶם אֶל־אֶרֶץ הָאֱמֹרִי הַיֹּושֵׁב בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן וַיִּלָּחֲמוּ אִתְּכֶם וָאֶתֵּן אֹותָם בְּיֶדְכֶם וַתִּירְשׁוּ אֶת־אַרְצָם וָאַשְׁמִידֵם מִפְּנֵיכֶם׃ |
|
| 9 | Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and invited Balaam the son of Beor to curse you, | | וַיָּקָם בָּלָק בֶּן־צִפֹּור מֶלֶךְ מֹואָב וַיִּלָּחֶם בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיִּקְרָא לְבִלְעָם בֶּן־בְּעֹור לְקַלֵּל אֶתְכֶם׃ |
|
| 10 | but I would not listen to Balaam; therefore he blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand. | | וְלֹא אָבִיתִי לִשְׁמֹעַ לְבִלְעָם וַיְבָרֶךְ בָּרֹוךְ אֶתְכֶם וָאַצִּל אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדֹו׃ |
|
| 11 | And you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you, and also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I gave them into your hand. | | וַתַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן וַתָּבֹאוּ אֶל־יְרִיחֹו וַיִּלָּחֲמוּ בָכֶם בַּעֲלֵי־יְרִיחֹו הָאֱמֹרִי וְהַפְּרִזִּי וְהַכְּנַעֲנִי וְהַחִתִּי וְהַגִּרְגָּשִׁי הַחִוִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי וָאֶתֵּן אֹותָם בְּיֶדְכֶם׃ |
|
| 12 | And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow. | | וָאֶשְׁלַח לִפְנֵיכֶם אֶת־הַצִּרְעָה וַתְּגָרֶשׁ אֹותָם מִפְּנֵיכֶם שְׁנֵי מַלְכֵי הָאֱמֹרִי לֹא בְחַרְבְּךָ וְלֹא בְקַשְׁתֶּךָ׃ |
|
| 13 | I gave you a land on which you had not laboured, and cities which you had not built, and you dwell therein; you eat the fruit of vineyards and oliveyards which you did not plant.' | | וָאֶתֵּן לָכֶם אֶרֶץ אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָגַעְתָּ בָּהּ וְעָרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא־בְנִיתֶם וַתֵּשְׁבוּ בָּהֶם כְּרָמִים וְזֵיתִים אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נְטַעְתֶּם אַתֶּם אֹכְלִים׃ |
|
| 14 | "Now therefore fear Yahweh, and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve Yahweh. | | וְעַתָּה יְראוּ אֶת־יְהוָה וְעִבְדוּ אֹתֹו בְּתָמִים וּבֶאֱמֶת וְהָסִירוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר עָבְדוּ אֲבֹותֵיכֶם בְּעֵבֶר הַנָּהָר וּבְמִצְרַיִם וְעִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהוָה׃ |
|
| 15 | And if you be unwilling to serve Yahweh, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve Yahweh." | | וְאִם רַע בְּעֵינֵיכֶם לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה בַּחֲרוּ לָכֶם הַיֹּום אֶת־מִי תַעֲבֹדוּן אִם אֶת־אֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר־עָבְדוּ אֲבֹותֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר כ= בְּעֵבֶר ק= מֵעֵבֶרa הַנָּהָר וְאִם אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הָאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם יֹשְׁבִים בְּאַרְצָם וְאָנֹכִי וּבֵיתִי נַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה׃ ף |
|
| 16 | Then the people answered, "Far be it from us that we should forsake Yahweh, to serve other gods; | | וַיַּעַן הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר חָלִילָה לָּנוּ מֵעֲזֹב אֶת־יְהוָה לַעֲבֹד אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים׃ |
|
| 17 | for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went, and among all the peoples through whom we passed; | | כִּי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הוּא הַמַּעֲלֶה אֹתָנוּ וְאֶת־אֲבֹותֵינוּ מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עֲבָדִים וַאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְעֵינֵינוּ אֶת־הָאֹתֹות הַגְּדֹלֹות הָאֵלֶּה וַיִּשְׁמְרֵנוּ בְּכָל־הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְנוּ בָהּ וּבְכֹל הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר עָבַרְנוּ בְּקִרְבָּם׃ |
|
| 18 | and Yahweh drove out before us all the peoples, the Amorites who lived in the land; therefore we also will serve Yahweh, for he is our God." | | וַיְגָרֶשׁ יְהוָה אֶת־כָּל־הָעַמִּים וְאֶת־הָאֱמֹרִי יֹשֵׁב הָאָרֶץ מִפָּנֵינוּ גַּם־אֲנַחְנוּ נַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה כִּי־הוּא אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃ ס |
|
| 19 | But Joshua said to the people, "You cannot serve Yahweh; for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins. | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־הָעָם לֹא תוּכְלוּ לַעֲבֹד אֶת־יְהוָה כִּי־אֱלֹהִים קְדֹשִׁים הוּא אֵל־קַנֹּוא הוּא לֹא־יִשָּׂא לְפִשְׁעֲכֶם וּלְחַטֹּאותֵיכֶם׃ |
|
| 20 | If you forsake Yahweh and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm, and consume you, after having done you good." | | כִּי תַעַזְבוּ אֶת־יְהוָה וַעֲבַדְתֶּם אֱלֹהֵי נֵכָר וְשָׁב וְהֵרַע לָכֶם וְכִלָּה אֶתְכֶם אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־הֵיטִיב לָכֶם׃ |
|
| 21 | And the people said to Joshua, "Nay; but we will serve Yahweh." | | וַיֹּאמֶר הָעָם אֶל־יְהֹושֻׁעַ לֹא כִּי אֶת־יְהוָה נַעֲבֹד׃ |
|
| 22 | Then Joshua said to the people, "You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen Yahweh, to serve him." And they said, "We are witnesses." | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־הָעָם עֵדִים אַתֶּם בָּכֶם כִּי־אַתֶּם בְּחַרְתֶּם לָכֶם אֶת־יְהוָה לַעֲבֹד אֹותֹו וַיֹּאמְרוּ עֵדִים׃ |
|
| 23 | He said, "Then put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel." | | וְעַתָּה הָסִירוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר אֲשֶׁר בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וְהַטּוּ אֶת־לְבַבְכֶם אֶל־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ |
|
| 24 | And the people said to Joshua, "Yahweh our God we will serve, and his voice we will obey." | | וַיֹּאמְרוּ הָעָם אֶל־יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נַעֲבֹד וּבְקֹולֹו נִשְׁמָע׃ |
|
| 25 | So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made statutes and ordinances for them at Shechem. | | וַיִּכְרֹת יְהֹושֻׁעַ בְּרִית לָעָם בַּיֹּום הַהוּא וַיָּשֶׂם לֹו חֹק וּמִשְׁפָּט בִּשְׁכֶם׃ |
|
| 26 | And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak in the sanctuary of Yahweh. | | וַיִּכְתֹּב יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּסֵפֶר תֹּורַת אֱלֹהִים וַיִּקַּח אֶבֶן גְּדֹולָה וַיְקִימֶהָ שָּׁם תַּחַת הָאַלָּה אֲשֶׁר בְּמִקְדַּשׁ יְהוָה׃ ס |
|
| 27 | And Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it has heard all the words of Yahweh which he spoke to us; therefore it shall be a witness against you, lest you deal falsely with your God." | | וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־כָּל־הָעָם הִנֵּה הָאֶבֶן הַזֹּאת תִּהְיֶה־בָּנוּ לְעֵדָה כִּי־הִיא שָׁמְעָה אֵת כָּל־אִמְרֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר עִמָּנוּ וְהָיְתָה בָכֶם לְעֵדָה פֶּן־תְּכַחֲשׁוּן בֵּאלֹהֵיכֶם׃ |
|
| 28 | So Joshua sent the people away, every man to his inheritance. | | וַיְשַׁלַּח יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶת־הָעָם אִישׁ לְנַחֲלָתֹו׃ ף |
