Joshua 23:2-13

2that 1JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for allH3605 IsraelH3478, for their eldersH2205 and their headsH7218 and their judgesH8199 and their officersH7860, and saidH559 to them, “I amH2204 oldH2204, advancedH935 in yearsH3117. 3And you have seenH7200 allH3605 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 has doneH6213 to allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 becauseH4480H6440 of you, for 2the LordH3068 your GodH430 is He who has been fightingH3898 for you. 4SeeH7200, 3I have apportionedH5307 to you theseH428 nationsH1471 which remainH7604 as an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, with allH3605 the nationsH1471 whichH834 I have cutH3772 offH3772, from the JordanH3383 even to the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 toward the settingH3996 of the sunH8121. 5The LordH3068 your GodH430, He will thrustH1920 them out from beforeH6440 you and 45driveH3423 them from beforeH6440 you; and 6you will possessH3423 their landH776, justH3512 as the LordH3068 your GodH430 7promisedH1696 you. 68Be veryH3966 firmH2388, then, to keepH8104 and doH6213 allH3605 that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, so that you may not turnH5493 asideH5493 from it to the rightH3225 handH3225 or to the leftH8040, 7soH1115 that you will not 9associateH935 with theseH428 nationsH1471, theseH428 which remainH7604 amongH854 you, or 10mentionH2142 the nameH8034 of their godsH430, or 11make anyone swearH7650 by them, or 12serveH5647 them, or bowH7812 downH7812 to them. 8But you are to clingH1692 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, as you have doneH6213 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 913For the LordH3068 has 14drivenH3423 out greatH1419 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; and as for you, 15noH3808 manH376 has stoodH5975 beforeH6440 you to thisH2088 dayH3117. 1016OneH259 of your menH376 putsH7291 to flightH7291 a thousandH505, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 is 17He who fightsH3898 for you, justH3512 as He 18promisedH1696 you. 11So takeH8104 diligentH3966 heedH8104 to yourselvesH5315 to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430. 12For ifH518 you everH7725 goH7725 backH7725 and 19clingH1692 to the restH3499 of theseH428 nationsH1471, theseH428 which remainH7604 amongH854 you, and 20intermarryH2859 with them, so that you 21associateH935 with them and they with you, 13knowH3045 with certaintyH3045 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 will not continueH3254 to 22driveH3423 theseH428 nationsH1471 out from beforeH6440 you; but they will be a 23snareH6341 and a trapH4170 to you, and a whipH7850 on your sidesH6654 and thornsH6796 in your eyesH5869, untilH5704 you perishH6 from offH5921 thisH2088 goodH2896 landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has givenH5414 you.
