Joshua 24:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we would forsake Yahweh to serve other gods, ¹⁷ for Yahweh our God brought us and our ancestors^[a] from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and did these great signs before our eyes. He protected us along the entire way that we went, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed. ¹⁸ And Yahweh drove out all the people before us, the Amorites^[b] who live^[c] in the land. We will serve Yahweh, for he is our God.”
