Joshua 24:2-3

²Joshua said to all the people, “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Your fathers lived of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor. They served other gods.

³I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his offspring, and gave him Isaac.

In Joshua 24, Joshua gathers the tribes of Israel at Shechem for a final covenant renewal ceremony, reminding them of God's faithfulness from Abraham to their present day. He challenges them to choose whom they will serve—the Lord or the gods of their ancestors and neighbors. The people affirm their commitment to the Lord, leading Joshua to establish a covenant, record it, and set up a stone as a witness. The chapter concludes with the deaths of Joshua and Eleazar, marking the end of an era of strong, unified leadership.
