Joshua 23:2-11

2And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all IsraelH3478, and for their eldersH2205, and for their headsH7218, and for their judgesH8199, and for their officersH7860, and saidH559 unto them, I am oldH2204 and strickenH935 in ageH3117:

3And ye have seenH7200 all that YhwhH3068 your GodH430 hath doneH6213 unto all these nationsH1471 becauseH6440 of you; for YhwhH3068 your GodH430 is he that hath foughtH3898 for you.

4BeholdH7200, I have dividedH5307 unto you by lot these nationsH1471 that remainH7604, to be an inheritanceH5159 for your tribesH7626, from JordanH3383, with all the nationsH1471 that I have cut offH3772, even unto the greatH1419 seaH3220 westwardH8121H3996.1

5And YhwhH3068 your GodH430, he shall expelH1920 them from beforeH6440 you, and driveH3423 them from out of your sightH6440; and ye shall possessH3423 their landH776, as YhwhH3068 your GodH430 hath promisedH1696 unto you.

6Be ye therefore veryH3966 courageousH2388 to keepH8104 and to doH6213 all that is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, that ye turnH5493 not aside therefrom to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040;

7That ye comeH935 not among these nationsH1471, these that remainH7604 among you; neither make mentionH2142 of the nameH8034 of their godsH430, nor cause to swearH7650 by them, neither serveH5647 them, nor bowH7812 yourselves unto them:

8But cleaveH1692 unto YhwhH3068 your GodH430, as ye have doneH6213 unto this dayH3117.2

9For YhwhH3068 hath driven outH3423 from beforeH6440 you greatH1419 nationsH1471 and strongH6099: but as for you, no manH376 hath been able to standH5975 beforeH6440 you unto this dayH3117.3

10OneH259 manH376 of you shall chaseH7291 a thousandH505: for YhwhH3068 your GodH430, he it is that fightethH3898 for you, as he hath promisedH1696 you.

11Take goodH3966 heedH8104 therefore unto yourselvesH5315, that ye loveH157 YhwhH3068 your GodH430.4
