(Gen 11:31, 32) Sa paanuman, ang mga kalagayang ito ang nagpatindi sa kahalagahan ng babala ni Josue sa Israel pagkatapos nilang pumasok sa Lupang Pangako, gaya ng nakaulat sa Josue 24:2, 14: “Ito ang sinabi ni Jehova na Diyos ng Israel, ‘Sa kabilang ibayo ng Ilog [Eufrates] nanahanan ang inyong mga ninuno noong sinaunang panahon, si Tera na ama ni Abraham at ama ni Nahor, at naglilingkod sila noon sa ibang mga diyos.’
(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.’jw2019 jw2019
