Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament "that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage," call to mind the words appended to the first commandment (Ex 20:2; Deut 5:6), which they hereby promise to observe. With the clause which follows, "who did those great signs in our sight," etc., they declare their assent to all that Joshua had called to their mind in vv. 3-13. "We also" (v. 18), as well as thou and thy house (v. 15). Joshua 24:19-20 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. But in order to place most vividly before the minds of the people to what it was that they bound themselves by this declaration, that they might not inconsiderately vow what they would not afterwards observe, Joshua adds, "Ye cannot serve Jehovah," sc., in the state of mind in which ye are at present, or "by your own resolution only, and without the assistance of divine grace, without solid and serious conversion from all idols, and without true repentance and faith" ( J. H. Michaelis ). For Jehovah is "a holy God," etc. Elohim , used to denote the Supreme Being (see at Gen 2:4), is construed with the predicate in the plural. On the holiness of God, see the exposition of Ex 19:6. On the expression "a jealous God," see Ex 20:5; and on lªpesha` (OT:6588) naasaa' (OT:5375), Ex 23:21. The only other place in which the form qanow' (OT:7072) is used for qanaa' (OT:7067) is Nah 1:2. "If ye forsake the Lord and serve strange gods, He will turn (i.e., assume a different attitude towards you) and do you hurt, after He has done you good," i.e., He will not spare you, in spite of the blessings which He has conferred upon you. heera` (OT:7489) is used to denote the judgments threatened in the law against transgressors. Joshua 24:21 And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD. http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos145.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:46 p.m.]
Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament The people adhered to their resolution. lo' (OT:3808), minime , as in Josh 5:14, i.e., we will not serve other gods, but Jehovah. Joshua 24:22-23 And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses. Upon this repeated declaration Joshua says to them, "ye are witnesses against yourselves," i.e., ye will condemn yourselves by this your own testimony if ye should now forsake the Lord, "for ye yourselves have chosen you Jehovah to serve Him;" whereupon they answer `eediym (OT:5707), "witnesses are we against http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos145.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:46 p.m.]
