Joshua Rehearsing the History of the Nation (vv. 1-13) This was his farewell address, the last message to the people. He began with Abraham's breaking with his re ligion, homeland, relatives anil friends, at the command of Cod, and traced their history in Egypt, their deliver ance at the hands of Moses and Aaron til rough the wilderness journey, and showed God's providential dealing ill the crossing of the Jordan at flood tide, and their marvelous blessings now in the land solely by the favor #>f God. II. The People Elect the Lord as Their God (W. 14-24), Joshua knew tiiat the people were liable to 'lapse into idolatry, therefore lie. reviewed before litem the history of God's goodness lo them, and ap pealed to their sober choice as to whether they were going lo remain i faithful to him. 1. lie appealed lo them for a ra tional consideration and judgment (v. 15). lie placed before them four, candi dates upon which they could vote ac cording t? their relative merits. (1) The l?ord. . (2) The gods worshiped by their ancestors in ('balden. (:!) The Egyptian gods. (4) The gods of the Atiiurites. Having placed before them these 1 candidates, he urged them to make a rational choice. 2. Ills own example in the mailer ; ,v. 15). lie followed his appeal with bis own example. He told them that his mind was already made up, lie associate!] his household with himself He knew itist where they Would stand. His de i-lsion was not a hasty Ii Ii:m been talked over at htiliie, liiercfii.'V lie voiced the united sentiment of l>i' family. S, The response of lite people <yv. 10-18). Joshua's earnest appeal, accompa nied by lits own example had its de sired effect. Wlien they calmly con sidered the daims of the l.nnl a:, igainst the other gods, they saw the overwltelniing evidence in frtvor of the God of their fathers. They assigned the following reasons for. their choice : (1) The l.o rd brought us out of Egypt (v, 17). (2) lie did great signs in our sight (v. 17). (3) He preserved us in all the way >e went fv. 17). ( I) He drove from bt'fore us all the people (v. IS). 11 would have been very foolish, not ,i say criminal, after they had expo Sliced all this at His hands to have a mod llini down. ?1. Josl;t' . eminds them of whe Gild i.; (v.

(1) lie showed then: t !t:r; God is i: Holy God. (2) That He is a Jealotn God II" could nut therefore tolerate a rival. (-3) That lie will not forgive. He did not mean by this that !!.? was nn unforgiving God. but that His uature was such that unless they fol lowed Him fully. He would become the means of their destruction. 5. Joshua demands sincerity on their part (vv. 20-23). He wished to have practical proof of their profession. He no doubt knew full well that some had idols yet In their possession. 0. The people's position (v. 24). They cannot avoid their determina tion to serve God and obey His voice. III. The People Enter Into a Sol emn Covenant (vv. 25-28). This is the clinching transaction of the meeting at Sheehem. They en tered Into a formal covenant. Joshua wrote down their agreement In a book where It would remain a permanent witness against them. As a further help, he took a large stone and set it up as a witness. These would serve as barriers against their lapslug again Into idolatry.
