(Ge 11:31, 32) In any case, these circumstances add weight to the significance of Joshua’s warning to Israel after their entry into the Promised Land, as recorded at Joshua 24:2, 14: “This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘It was on the other side of the River [Euphrates] that your forefathers dwelt a long time ago, Terah the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, and they used to serve other gods.’
(1Mo 11: 31, 32) Disse omstendighetene understreker betydningen av Josvas formaning til israelittene etter at de hadde dratt inn i det lovte land: «Dette er hva Jehova, Israels Gud, har sagt: ’Det var på den andre siden av Elven [Eufrat] deres forfedre bodde for lenge siden, Tarah, far til Abraham og far til Nakor, og de pleide å tjene andre guder.’jw2019 jw2019
