² So Jacob said to his ^(A)household and to all who were with him, “Put away ^(B)the foreign gods which are among you, and ^(C)purify yourselves and change your garments;

“We Will Serve the Lord”

¹⁴ “Now, therefore, ^[a](A)fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and ^[b]truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the ^[c]River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

²³ “Now therefore, put away the foreign gods which are in your midst, and ^(A)incline your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel.”

^16 (A)So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the Lord; and ^[a](B)He could bear the misery of Israel no longer.
