Joshua 24:14 (King James Version)
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.

- From this exhortation of Joshua, we not only learn that the Israelites still retained some relics of idolatry, but to what gods they were attached
- 1. Those whom their fathers worshipped on the other side of the food, or the river Euphrates, i
- e., the gods of the Chaldeans, fire, light, the sun, etc
- 2. Those of the Egyptians, Apis, Anubis, serpents, vegetables, etc
- 3. Those of the Amorites, Moabites, Canaanites, etc
- , Baal-peor, Astarte, etc. How astonishing is it, that after all that God had done for them, and all the miracles they had seen, there should still be found among them both idols and idolaters!
