1 And Yehoshua gathered Kol Shivtei Yisroel to Shechem, and called for the Ziknei Yisroel, and for their Rashim, and for their shofetim, and for their shoterim; and they presented themselves before HaElohim.
2 And Yehoshua said unto Kol HaAm, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Avoteichem dwelt on the other side of the [Euphrates] River long ago, even Terach, Avi Avraham, and Avi Nachor: and they served elohim acherim.
3 But I took Avichem Avraham from the other side of the [Euphrates] River, and led him through Kol Eretz Kena'an, and multiplied his zera, and gave him Yitzchak.
4 And I gave unto Yitzchak Ya'akov and Esav; and I gave unto Esav Mt Seir, to possess it; but Ya'akov and his banim went down into Mitzrayim.
5 I sent Moshe also and Aharon, and I plagued Mitzrayim, according to that which I did among them; and afterward I brought you out.
