Joshua 23:2-11
2that 1JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for allH3605 IsraelH3478, for their eldersH2205, their headsH7218, 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 eliminatedH3772, from the JordanH3383 even to the GreatH1419 SeaH3220 toward the 4westH3996H8121.
5And the LordH3068 your GodH430, He will thrustH1920 them awayH1920 from you and 56driveH3423 them from you; and 7you will takeH3423 possessionH3423 of their landH776, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 your GodH430 8promisedH1696 you.
69BeH2388 veryH3966 determinedH2388, then, to keepH8104 and doH6213 everythingH3605 that is writtenH3789 in the BookH5612 of the LawH8451 of MosesH4872, so that you will not turnH5493 asideH5493 from it to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040,
7so that you will not 10associateH935 with theseH428 nationsH1471, theseH428 which remainH7604 with you, or 11mentionH2142 the nameH8034 of their godsH430, or 12make anyone swearH7650 by them, or 13serveH5647 them, or bowH2331 downH2331 to them.
8But you are to clingH1692 to the LordH3068 your GodH430, as you have doneH6213 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
914For the LordH3068 has 15drivenH3423 outH3423 greatH1419 and mightyH6099 nationsH1471 from beforeH6440 you; and as for you, 16noH3808 oneH376 has stoodH5975 againstH6440 you to thisH2088 dayH3117.
1017OneH259 of your menH376 putsH7291 toH7291 flightH7291 a thousandH505, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 is 18He who fightsH3898 for you, justH3512 asH3512 He 19promisedH1696 you.
11So takeH8104 greatH3966 careH8104 for yourselvesH5315 that you loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430.
