## Resource

Joshua gathers the people in Shchem and asks them if they want to worship idolatry or God! Where have we ever seen a leader giving a choice of this sort to the nation? And it all takes place at a Temple in Shchem. IS there a Temple in Shchem? What about Shiloh? What is the purpose of this gathering?
