And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Si les parece mal servir al SEÑOR, entonces escojan hoy a quién van a servir. ¿Servirán a los dioses que adoraron sus antepasados antes de cruzar el río, o a los dioses de los amorreos en cuya tierra ahora viven? Pero yo y mi familia serviremos al SEÑOR.
Josué desafía al pueblo a decidir a quién servirán, mientras declara que él y su familia servirán fielmente al SEÑOR.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, this verse is part of a farewell address Joshua delivered to the Israelites gathered at Shechem, where he recounted God's faithfulness from the time of their ancestors across the Euphrates River to their recent conquest of Canaan. Joshua was urging the people to reaffirm their covenant with God amidst the temptations of the surrounding pagan cultures, as the nation had settled in the Promised Land and faced the risk of idolatry. This moment highlighted the ongoing challenge of spiritual loyalty in a newly inherited territory.
