Joshua 23:2-11

2that 1Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and their heads and their judges and their officers, and said to them, “I am old, advanced in years.

3And you have seen all that the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you, for 2the Lord your God is He who has been fighting for you.

4See, 3I have apportioned to you these nations which remain as an inheritance for your tribes, with all the nations which I have cut off, from the Jordan even to the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun.

5The Lord your God, He will thrust them out from before you and 45drive them from before you; and 6you will possess their land, just as the Lord your God 7promised you.

68Be very firm, then, to keep and do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so that you may not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

7so that you will not 9associate with these nations, these which remain among you, or 10mention the name of their gods, or 11make anyone swear by them, or 12serve them, or bow down to them.

8But you are to cling to the Lord your God, as you have done to this day.

913For the Lord has 14driven out great and strong nations from before you; and as for you, 15no man has stood before you to this day.

1016One of your men puts to flight a thousand, for the Lord your God is 17He who fights for you, just as He 18promised you.

11So take diligent heed to yourselves to love the Lord your God.
