1 E juntando Josué todas as tribos de Israel em Siquém, chamou aos anciãos de Israel, e a seus príncipes, a seus juízes, e a seus oficiais; e apresentaram-se diante de Deus.
2 E disse Josué a todo o povo: Assim diz o SENHOR, Deus de Israel: Vossos pais habitaram antigamente da outra parte do rio, a saber, Terá, pai de Abraão e de Naor; e serviam a deuses estranhos.
3 E eu tomei a vosso pai Abraão da outra parte do rio, e trouxe-o por toda a terra de Canaã, e aumentei sua geração, e dei-lhe a Isaque.
4 E a Isaque dei a Jacó e a Esaú: e a Esaú dei o monte de Seir, que o possuísse: mas Jacó e seus filhos desceram ao Egito.
