| 23:1 | And it came to pass a long <07227> time <03117> after <0310> that the LORD <03068> had given rest <05117> (8689) unto Israel <03478> from all their enemies <0341> (8802) round about <05439>, that Joshua <03091> waxed old <02204> (8804) [and] stricken <0935> (8804) in age <03117>. {stricken...: Heb. come into days} |
| 23:2 | And Joshua <03091> called <07121> (8799) for all Israel <03478>, [and] for their elders <02205>, and for their heads <07218>, and for their judges <08199> (8802), and for their officers <07860> (8802), and said <0559> (8799) unto them, I am old <02204> (8804) [and] stricken <0935> (8804) in age <03117>: |
| 23:3 | And ye have seen <07200> (8804) all that the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath done <06213> (8804) unto all these nations <01471> because <06440> of you; for the LORD <03068> your God <0430> [is] he that hath fought <03898> (8737) for you. |
| 23:4 | Behold <07200> (8798), I have divided <05307> (8689) unto you by lot these nations <01471> that remain <07604> (8737), to be an inheritance <05159> for your tribes <07626>, from Jordan <03383>, with all the nations <01471> that I have cut off <03772> (8689), even unto the great <01419> sea <03220> westward <03996> <08121>. {westward: Heb. at the sunset} |
| 23:5 | And the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, he shall expel <01920> (8799) them from before <06440> you, and drive <03423> (8689) them from out of your sight <06440>; and ye shall possess <03423> (8804) their land <0776>, as the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath promised <01696> (8765) unto you. |
| 23:6 | Be ye therefore very <03966> courageous <02388> (8804) to keep <08104> (8800) and to do <06213> (8800) all that is written <03789> (8803) in the book <05612> of the law <08451> of Moses <04872>, that ye turn <05493> (8800) not aside therefrom [to] the right hand <03225> or [to] the left <08040>; |
| 23:7 | That ye come <0935> (8800) not among these nations <01471>, these that remain <07604> (8737) among you; neither make mention <02142> (8686) of the name <08034> of their gods <0430>, nor cause to swear <07650> (8686) [by them], neither serve <05647> (8799) them, nor bow <07812> (8691) yourselves unto them: |
| 23:8 | But cleave <01692> (8799) unto the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, as ye have done <06213> (8804) unto this day <03117>. {But cleave...: or, For if ye will cleave, etc} |
| 23:9 | For the LORD <03068> hath driven out <03423> (8686) from before <06440> you great <01419> nations <01471> and strong <06099>: but [as for] you, no man <0376> hath been able to stand <05975> (8804) before <06440> you unto this day <03117>. {For the LORD...: or, Then the LORD will drive} |
| 23:10 | One <0259> man <0376> of you shall chase <07291> (8799) a thousand <0505>: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, he [it is] that fighteth <03898> (8737) for you, as he hath promised <01696> (8765) you. |
| 23:11 | Take good <03966> heed <08104> (8738) therefore unto yourselves <05315>, that ye love <0157> (8800) the LORD <03068> your God <0430>. {yourselves: Heb. your souls} |
| 23:12 | Else if ye do in any wise <07725> (8800) go back <07725> (8799), and cleave <01692> (8804) unto the remnant <03499> of these nations <01471>, [even] these that remain <07604> (8737) among you, and shall make marriages <02859> (8694) with them, and go in <0935> (8804) unto them, and they to you: |
| 23:13 | Know <03045> (8799) for a certainty <03045> (8800) that the LORD <03068> your God <0430> will no more <03254> (8686) drive out <03423> (8687) [any of] these nations <01471> from before <06440> you; but they shall be snares <06341> and traps <04170> unto you, and scourges <07850> in your sides <06654>, and thorns <06796> in your eyes <05869>, until ye perish <06> (8800) from off this good <02896> land <0127> which the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) you. |
| 23:14 | And, behold, this day <03117> I [am] going <01980> (8802) the way <01870> of all the earth <0776>: and ye know <03045> (8804) in all your hearts <03824> and in all your souls <05315>, that not one <0259> thing <01697> hath failed <05307> (8804) of all the good <02896> things <01697> which the LORD <03068> your God <0430> spake <01696> (8765) concerning you; all are come to pass <0935> (8804) unto you, [and] not one <0259> thing <01697> hath failed <05307> (8804) thereof. |
| 23:15 | Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good <02896> things <01697> are come <0935> (8804) upon you, which the LORD <03068> your God <0430> promised <01696> (8765) you; so shall the LORD <03068> bring <0935> (8686) upon you all evil <07451> things <01697>, until he have destroyed <08045> (8687) you from off this good <02896> land <0127> which the LORD <03068> your God <0430> hath given <05414> (8804) you. |
| 23:16 | When ye have transgressed <05674> (8800) the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, which he commanded <06680> (8765) you, and have gone <01980> (8804) and served <05647> (8804) other <0312> gods <0430>, and bowed <07812> (8694) yourselves to them; then shall the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> be kindled <02734> (8804) against you, and ye shall perish <06> (8804) quickly <04120> from off the good <02896> land <0776> which he hath given <05414> (8804) unto you. |
