Contextual Overview

¹⁵ And if it seems evil in your eyes to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve, whether the gods whom your fathers served Beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. But as for me and myhouse, we will serve Jehovah. ¹⁶ And the people replied and said, Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods. ¹⁷ For Jehovah our God is He who has brought us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves, and who has done these great signs before our eyes, and has preserved usin all the way in which we have gone, and amongall the people through whom we have passed. ¹⁸ And Jehovah has cast out all the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land before us. We also will serve Jehovah, for He is our God. ¹⁹ And Joshua said to the people, You cannot serve Jehovah, for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God. He will not lift up from you your transgressions or your sins. ²⁰ When you forsake Jehovah, and shall serve strange gods, then He will turn away and do evil to you, and consume you, after He has done good to you. ²¹ And the people said to Joshua, No, but we will serve Jehovah. ²² And Joshua said to the people, You are witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen Jehovah for yourselves, to serve Him (for they said, We are witnesses). ²³ And now turn away from the strange gods among you, and incline your heart to Jehovah the God of Israel. ²⁴ And the people said to Joshua, We will serve Jehovah our God, and we will listen to His voice.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
