2 And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ^a‘Long ago, your fathers lived beyond the Euphrates,¹ Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor; and they served other gods.

15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the ^wgods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
