Deuteronomy 6:4 The, 14; Joshua 24:2, 14–17, 24 The Lord

​

4    . . . The Lord our God is one Lord:

​

14    Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

​

2    And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.

​

14    Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.

​

15    And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

​

16    And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the Lord, to serve other gods;

​

17    For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:

​

24. . . The Lord our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
