Joshua 24:12 in Context — Joshua 24

10 Mas yo no quise escuchar á Balaam, antes os bendijo repetidamente, y os libré de sus manos.

11 Y pasado el Jordán, vinisteis á Jericó; y los moradores de Jericó pelearon contra vosotros: los Amorrheos, Pherezeos, Cananeos, Hetheos, Gergeseos, Heveos, y Jebuseos: y yo los entregué en vuestras manos.

12 Y envié tábanos delante de vosotros, los cuales los echaron de delante de vosotros, [á saber], á los dos reyes de los Amorrheos; no con tu espada, ni con tu arco.

13 Y os dí la tierra por la cual nada trabajasteis, y las ciudades que no edificasteis, en las cuales moráis; y de las viñas y olivares que no plantasteis, coméis.

14 Ahora pues, temed á Jehová, y servidle con integridad y en verdad; y quitad de en medio los dioses á los cuales sirvieron vuestros padres de esotra parte del río, y en Egipto; y servid á Jehová.
