JOSHUA 24:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Then the people answered, 'Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD to serve other gods — The people's response echoes Joshua's position; the assembled community affirms covenant loyalty. The exclamation 'far be it from us' (ḥāsîlâ lānû) expresses horror at the thought of apostasy.
