Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 24 of Joshua. Joshua presents the central covenant decision: fear the Lord, serve Him with integrity, and abandon foreign gods. His famous declaration that his household will serve the Lord places family leadership within covenant renewal. The people respond by remembering the exodus and God’s works. The obedience requested is not abstract; it is grounded in the concrete memory of divine deliverance and provision.

So fürchtet nun den HERRN und dient ihm treulich und rechtschaffen und laßt fahren die Götter, denen eure Väter gedient haben jenseit des Stroms und in Ägypten, und dient dem HERRN.
Ahora pues, temed a Jehová, y servidle con integridad y en verdad; y quitad de en medio los dioses a los cuales sirvieron vuestros padres de esotra parte del río, y en Egipto; y servid a Jehová.
Ahora, pues, teman a Jehová y sírvanlo con integridad y verdad. Quiten los dioses a los que sirvieron sus padres al otro lado del río y en Egipto, y sirvan a Jehová.
Maintenant, craignez l'Eternel, et servez-le avec intégrité et fidélité. Faites disparaître les dieux qu'ont servis vos pères de l'autre côté du fleuve et en Egypte, et servez l'Eternel.
Ora dunque temete il Signore, e servitegli con integrità e con verità; e togliete via gl’iddii, a’ quali i padri vostri servirono di là dal Fiume e in Egitto; e servite al Signore
Agora, pois, temei ao SENHOR, e servi-o com sinceridade e com verdade; e deitai fora os deuses aos quais serviram vossos pais além do rio e no Egito, e servi ao SENHOR.
「現在你們要敬畏耶和華,誠心誠意事奉他,除掉你們列祖在 大河 那邊和在 埃及 事奉的神明,事奉耶和華。
