וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁ֜עַ אֶל־כָּל־הָעָ֗ם כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר יְהוָה֮ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵל֒ בְּעֵ֣בֶר הַנָּהָ֗ר יָשְׁב֤וּ אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙ מֵֽעוֹלָ֔ם תֶּ֛רַח אֲבִ֥י אַבְרָהָ֖ם וַאֲבִ֣י נָח֑וֹר וַיַּעַבְד֖וּ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִֽים׃
E Yehoshua disse a todo o povo: Assim diz Adonai, Elohim de Yisra'el: Do outro lado do rio vossos antepassados habitaram desde a antiguidade, Terach, pai de Avraham e pai de Nachor, e serviram a outros deuses.

Thus, always remember this principle throughout the whole of Torah, so that you will be able to discern the meaning of the title God-Elohi”m-אלהי״ם in all places, or the term “other gods-elohim acheirim-אלהים אחרים,” such as in the verse,121Joshua 24:2 “Your forefathers… dwelt beyond the [Euphrates] River and served other gods-elohim acheirim-אלהים אחרים,” or,122Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods-elohim acheirim-אלהים אחרים.”
