JOSHUA 24:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:”
The LORD our God drove out before us all the peoples, the Amorites who inhabited the land. Therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is our God — The conquest narrative is reiterated as divine action ('the LORD drove out'). The conclusion frames covenant service as a rational response to experienced blessing: 'Therefore we also will serve the LORD, for he is our God' (lāken gam-ʾanḥnû naʿăbōd et-YHWH kî-hûʾ ʾelōhênû).
