Joshua 24:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ Then the people answered, “We will never stop following the Lord. We will never serve other gods! ¹⁷ We know that it was the Lord God who brought our people out of Egypt. We were slaves in that land, but he did great things for us there. He brought us out of that land and protected us while we traveled through other lands. ¹⁸ The Lord helped us defeat the people living in these lands. He helped us defeat the Amorites who lived in this land where we are now. So we will continue to serve the Lord, because he is our God.”
