Therefore the Lord GOD said:“ Look, I have laid a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will be unshakable.

until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

My whole being will be refreshed within me, and my bow will be renewed in my hand.”

Listen, Shepherd of Israel, who leads Joseph like a flock; you who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine

The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

For they were all trying to intimidate us, saying,“ They will drop their hands from the work, and it will never be finished.” But now, my God, strengthen my hands.

“ May the LORD, the God who gives breath to all, appoint a man over the communitywho will go out before them and come back in before them, and who will bring them out and bring them in, so that the LORD’s community won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.”The LORD replied to Moses,“ Take Joshua son of Nun, a man who has the Spirit in him, and lay your hands on him.

There I will sustain you, for there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you, your household, and everything you have will become destitute.”’

As you come to him, a living stone— rejected by people but chosen and honored by God—you yourselves, as living stones, a spiritual house, are being built to be a holy priesthood to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.For it stands in Scripture: See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and honored cornerstone, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.So honor will come to you who believe; but for the unbelieving, The stone that the builders rejected— this one has become the cornerstone,and A stone to stumble over, and a rock to trip over. They stumble because they disobey the word; they were destined for this.

Then he continued,“ I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

Therefore don’t be afraid. I will take care of you and your children.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow to bring down the poor and needy and to slaughter those whose way is upright.Their swords will enter their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

I will strengthen them in the LORD, and they will march in his name— this is the LORD’s declaration.

And Joseph provided his father, his brothers, and all his father’s family with food for their dependents.

Joshua assembled all the tribes of Israel at Shechem and summoned Israel’s elders, leaders, judges, and officers, and they presented themselves before God.Joshua said to all the people,“ This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says:‘ Long ago your ancestors, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.But I took your father Abraham from the region beyond the Euphrates River, led him throughout the land of Canaan, and multiplied his descendants. I gave him Isaac,and to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave the hill country of Seir to Esau as a possession.“‘ Jacob and his sons, however, went down to Egypt.I sent Moses and Aaron, and I defeated Egypt by what I did within it, and afterward I brought you out.When I brought your ancestors out of Egypt and you reached the Red Sea, the Egyptians pursued your ancestors with chariots and horsemen as far as the sea.Your ancestors cried out to the LORD, so he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea over them, engulfing them. Your own eyes saw what I did to Egypt. After that, you lived in the wilderness a long time.“‘ Later, I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived beyond the Jordan. They fought against you, but I handed them over to you. You possessed their land, and I annihilated them before you.Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaam son of Beor to curse you,but I would not listen to Balaam. Instead, he repeatedly blessed you, and I rescued you from him.“‘ You then crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho. Jericho’s citizens— as well as the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hethites, Girgashites, Hivites, and Jebusites— fought against you, but I handed them over to you.I sent hornets ahead of you, and they drove out the two Amorite kings before you. It was not by your sword or bow.I gave you a land you did not labor for, and cities you did not build, though you live in them; you are eating from vineyards and olive groves you did not plant.’“ Therefore, fear the LORD and worship him in sincerity and truth. Get rid of the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and worship the LORD.But if it doesn’t please you to worship the LORD, choose for yourselves today: Which will you worship— the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living? As for me and my family, we will worship the LORD.”The people replied,“ We will certainly not abandon the LORD to worship other gods!For the LORD our God brought us and our ancestors out of the land of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, and performed these great signs before our eyes. He also protected us all along the way we went and among all the peoples whose lands we traveled through.The LORD drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. We too will worship the LORD, because he is our God.”But Joshua told the people,“ You will not be able to worship the LORD, because he is a holy God. He is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions and sins.If you abandon the LORD and worship foreign gods, he will turn against you, harm you, and completely destroy you, after he has been good to you.”“ No!” the people answered Joshua.“ We will worship the LORD.”Joshua then told the people,“ You are witnesses against yourselves that you yourselves have chosen to worship the LORD.”“ We are witnesses,” they said.“ Then get rid of the foreign gods that are among you and turn your hearts to the LORD, the God of Israel.”So the people said to Joshua,“ We will worship the LORD our God and obey him.”On that day Joshua made a covenant for the people at Shechem and established a statute and ordinance for them.Joshua recorded these things in the book of the law of God; he also took a large stone and set it up there under the oak at the sanctuary of the LORD.And Joshua said to all the people,“ You see this stone— it will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD said to us, and it will be a witness against you, so that you will not deny your God.”Then Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.After these things, the LORD’s servant, Joshua son of Nun, died at the age of 110.They buried him in his allotted territory at Timnath-serah, in the hill country of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.Israel worshiped the LORD throughout Joshua’s lifetime and during the lifetimes of the elders who outlived Joshua and who had experienced all the works the LORD had done for Israel.Joseph’s bones, which the Israelites had brought up from Egypt, were buried at Shechem in the parcel of land Jacob had purchased from the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. It was an inheritance for Joseph’s descendants.And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they buried him at Gibeah, which had been given to his son Phinehas in the hill country of Ephraim.

God said to him,“ Your name is Jacob; you will no longer be named Jacob, but your name will be Israel.” So he named him Israel.God also said to him,“ I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation, indeed an assembly of nations, will come from you, and kings will descend from you.

Jesus said to them,“ Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is what the Lord has done and it is wonderful in our eyes?

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that I might fully preach the word and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth.

Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart be courageous. Wait for the LORD.

The LORD is my shepherd; I have what I need.

This Jesus is the stone rejected by you builders, which has become the cornerstone.

God sent me ahead of you to establish you as a remnant within the land and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

But he looked at them and said,“ Then what is the meaning of this Scripture: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone?

I love you, LORD, my strength.

And now don’t be grieved or angry with yourselves for selling me here, because God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.

After the death of Moses the LORD’s servant, the LORD spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’s assistant:“ Moses my servant is dead. Now you and all the people prepare to cross over the Jordan to the land I am giving the Israelites.I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.Your territory will be from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great river, the Euphrates River— all the land of the Hittites— and west to the Mediterranean Sea.No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. I will be with you, just as I was with Moses. I will not leave you or abandon you.“ Be strong and courageous, for you will distribute the land I swore to their ancestors to give them as an inheritance.Above all, be strong and very courageous to observe carefully the whole instruction my servant Moses commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right or the left, so that you will have success wherever you go.This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to meditate on it day and night so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in whatever you do.Haven’t I commanded you: be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

I will sing about the LORD’s faithful love forever; I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations with my mouth.

Haven’t you read this Scripture: The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

But you give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced.

The LORD is the strength of his people; he is a stronghold of salvation for his anointed.

You will nurse on the milk of nations, and nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites obeyed him and did as the LORD had commanded Moses.
