¹ And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

² And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:

³ And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.

⁴ Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.

⁵ And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.

⁶ Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

⁷ That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

⁸ But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

⁹ For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

¹⁰ One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

¹¹ Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

¹² Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:

¹³ Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

¹⁴ And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

¹⁵ Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

¹⁶ When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

¹ And it came to pass a long ^H7227 time ^H3117 after ^H310 that the LORD ^H3068 had given rest ^H5117 unto Israel ^H3478 from all their enemies ^H341 round about, ^H5439 that Joshua ^H3091 waxed old ^H2204 and stricken ^H935 in age. ^H3117

² And Joshua ^H3091 called ^H7121 for all Israel, ^H3478 and for their elders, ^H2205 and for their heads, ^H7218 and for their judges, ^H8199 and for their officers, ^H7860 and said ^H559 unto them, I am old ^H2204 and stricken ^H935 in age: ^H3117

³ And ye have seen ^H7200 all that the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 hath done ^H6213 unto all these nations ^H1471 because ^H6440 of you; for the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 is he that hath fought ^H3898 for you.

⁴ Behold, ^H7200 I have divided ^H5307 unto you by lot these nations ^H1471 that remain, ^H7604 to be an inheritance ^H5159 for your tribes, ^H7626 from Jordan, ^H3383 with all the nations ^H1471 that I have cut off, ^H3772 even unto the great ^H1419 sea ^H3220 westward. ^{H3996 H8121}

⁵ And the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 he shall expel ^H1920 them from before ^H6440 you, and drive ^H3423 them from out of your sight; ^H6440 and ye shall possess ^H3423 their land, ^H776 as the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 hath promised ^H1696 unto you.

⁶ Be ye therefore very ^H3966 courageous ^H2388 to keep ^H8104 and to do ^H6213 all that is written ^H3789 in the book ^H5612 of the law ^H8451 of Moses, ^H4872 that ye turn ^H5493 not aside therefrom to the right hand ^H3225 or to the left; ^H8040

⁷ That ye come ^H935 not among these nations, ^H1471 these that remain ^H7604 among you; neither make mention ^H2142 of the name ^H8034 of their gods, ^H430 nor cause to swear ^H7650 by them, neither serve ^H5647 them, nor bow ^H7812 yourselves unto them:

⁸ But cleave ^H1692 unto the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 as ye have done ^H6213 unto this day. ^H3117

⁹ For the LORD ^H3068 hath driven out ^H3423 from before ^H6440 you great ^H1419 nations ^H1471 and strong: ^H6099 but as for you, no man ^H376 hath been able to stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 you unto this day. ^H3117

¹⁰ One ^H259 man ^H376 of you shall chase ^H7291 a thousand: ^H505 for the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 he it is that fighteth ^H3898 for you, as he hath promised ^H1696 you.

¹¹ Take good ^H3966 heed ^H8104 therefore unto yourselves, ^H5315 that ye love ^H157 the LORD ^H3068 your God. ^H430

¹² Else if ye do in any wise ^H7725 go back, ^H7725 and cleave ^H1692 unto the remnant ^H3499 of these nations, ^H1471 even these that remain ^H7604 among you, and shall make marriages ^H2859 with them, and go in ^H935 unto them, and they to you:

¹³ Know ^H3045 for a certainty ^H3045 that the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 will no more ^H3254 drive out ^H3423 any of these nations ^H1471 from before ^H6440 you; but they shall be snares ^H6341 and traps ^H4170 unto you, and scourges ^H7850 in your sides, ^H6654 and thorns ^H6796 in your eyes, ^H5869 until ye perish ^H6 from off this good ^H2896 land ^H127 which the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 hath given ^H5414 you.

¹⁴ And, behold, this day ^H3117 I am going ^H1980 the way ^H1870 of all the earth: ^H776 and ye know ^H3045 in all your hearts ^H3824 and in all your souls, ^H5315 that not one ^H259 thing ^H1697 hath failed ^H5307 of all the good ^H2896 things ^H1697 which the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 spake ^H1696 concerning you; all are come to pass ^H935 unto you, and not one ^H259 thing ^H1697 hath failed ^H5307 thereof.

¹⁵ Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good ^H2896 things ^H1697 are come ^H935 upon you, which the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 promised ^H1696 you; so shall the LORD ^H3068 bring ^H935 upon you all evil ^H7451 things, ^H1697 until he have destroyed ^H8045 you from off this good ^H2896 land ^H127 which the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 hath given ^H5414 you.

¹⁶ When ye have transgressed ^H5674 the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD ^H3068 your God, ^H430 which he commanded ^H6680 you, and have gone ^H1980 and served ^H5647 other ^H312 gods, ^H430 and bowed ^H7812 yourselves to them; then shall the anger ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068 be kindled ^H2734 against you, and ye shall perish ^H6 quickly ^H4120 from off the good ^H2896 land ^H776 which he hath given ^H5414 unto you.

¹ And it came to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua was old and well stricken in years;

² that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders and for their heads, and for their judges and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and well stricken in years:

³ and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for Jehovah your God, he it is that hath fought for you.

⁴ Behold, I have allotted unto you these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun.

⁵ And Jehovah your God, he will thrust them out from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spake unto you.

⁶ Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

⁷ that ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear `by them', neither serve them, nor bow down yourselves unto them;

⁸ but cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.

⁹ For Jehovah hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath stood before you unto this day.

¹⁰ One man of you shall chase a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he spake unto you.

¹¹ Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love Jehovah your God.

¹² Else if ye do at all go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you;

¹⁴ And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, not one thing hath failed thereof.

¹⁵ And it shall come to pass, that as all the good things are come upon you of which Jehovah your God spake unto you, so will Jehovah bring upon you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.

¹⁶ When ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Jehovah be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

¹ And it cometh to pass, many days after that Jehovah hath given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua is old, entering into days,

² and Joshua calleth for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and saith unto them, `I have become old; I have entered into days;

³ and ye -- ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God `is' He who is fighting for you;

⁴ see, I have caused to fall to you these nations who are left for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan, (and all the nations which I cut off), and the great sea, the going in of the sun.

⁵ `As to Jehovah your God, He doth thrust them from your presence, and hath dispossessed them from before you, and ye have possessed their land, as Jehovah your God hath spoken to you,

⁶ and ye have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,

⁷ so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and of the name of their gods ye do not make mention, nor do ye swear, nor do ye serve them, nor do ye bow yourselves to them;

⁸ but to Jehovah your God ye do cleave, as ye have done till this day.

⁹ And Jehovah is dispossessing from before you nations great and mighty; as for you, none hath stood in your presence till this day;

¹⁰ one man of you doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your God `is' He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken to you;

¹¹ and ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love Jehovah your God.

¹² `But -- if ye at all turn back and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,

¹³ know certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you.

¹⁴ `And lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth, and ye have known -- with all your heart, and with all your soul -- that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there hath not failed of it one thing.

¹⁵ `And it hath been, as there hath come upon you all the good thing which Jehovah your God hath spoken unto you, so doth Jehovah bring upon you the whole of the evil thing, till His destroying you from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you;

¹⁶ in your transgressing the covenant of Jehovah your God which He commanded you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then hath the anger of Jehovah burned against you, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which He hath given to you.'

¹ And it came to pass a long time after that Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had become old, advanced in age,

² that Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old, advanced in age;

³ and ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you. For Jehovah your God is he that hath fought for you.

⁴ Behold, I have divided unto you by lot for an inheritance, according to your tribes, these nations that remain, from the Jordan, as well as all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the great sea toward the sun-setting.

⁵ And Jehovah your God, he will expel them from before you, and dispossess them from out of your sight; and ye shall take possession of their land, as Jehovah your God hath said unto you.

⁶ And be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

⁷ that ye enter not among these nations, these that remain among you; and ye shall make no mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them;

⁸ but ye shall cleave unto Jehovah your God, as ye have done unto this day.

⁹ For Jehovah hath dispossessed from before you great and strong nations; and as to you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

¹⁰ One man of you chaseth a thousand; for Jehovah your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath said unto you.

¹¹ Take great heed therefore unto your souls, that ye love Jehovah your God.

¹² For if ye in any wise go back, and cleave unto the residue of these nations, these that remain among you, and make marriages with them, and come in unto them and they unto you:

¹³ know for a certainty that Jehovah your God will no more dispossess these nations from before you, and they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you.

¹⁴ And behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know in all your heart, and in all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good words that Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you: all are come to pass unto you -- not one thing hath failed thereof.

¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, that as every good word hath been fulfilled to you, that Jehovah your God spoke to you, so will Jehovah bring upon you every evil word, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Jehovah your God hath given you;

¹⁶ when ye transgress the covenant of Jehovah your God which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves unto them, so that the anger of Jehovah shall be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.

¹⁴ Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Yahweh your God spoke concerning you; all are happen to you, not one thing has failed of it.

¹⁵ It shall happen, that as all the good things are come on you of which Yahweh your God spoke to you, so will Yahweh bring on you all the evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.

¹⁶ When you disobey the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow down yourselves to them; then will the anger of Yahweh be kindled against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you.

¹ Now after a long time, when the Lord had given Israel rest from wars on every side, and Joshua was old and full of years,

² Joshua sent for all Israel, for their responsible men and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers, and said to them, I am old, and full of years:

³ You have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the Lord your God who has been fighting for you.

⁴ Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.

⁵ The Lord your God will send them away by force, driving them out before you; and you are to take their land for your heritage, as the Lord your God said to you.

⁶ So be very strong to keep and do whatever is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, not turning away from it to the right or to the left;

⁷ Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

⁸ But be true to the Lord your God as you have been till this day.

⁹ For the Lord has sent out from before you nations great and strong: and they have all given way before you till this day.

¹⁰ One man of you is able to put to flight a thousand; for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you, as he has said to you.

¹¹ So keep watch on yourselves, and see that you have love for the Lord your God.

¹² For if you go back, joining yourselves to the rest of these nations who are still among you, getting married to them and living with them and they with you:

¹³ Then you may be certain that the Lord your God will not go on driving these nations out from before you; but they will become a danger and a cause of sin to you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, till you are cut off from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

¹⁴ Now I am about to go the way of all the earth: and you have seen and are certain, all of you, in your hearts and souls, that in all the good things which the Lord said about you, he has kept faith with you; everything has come true for you.

¹⁵ And you will see that, as all the good things which the Lord your God undertook to do for you, have come to you, so the Lord will send down on you all the evil things till he has made your destruction complete, and you are cut off from the good land which the Lord your God has given you.

¹⁶ If the agreement of the Lord your God, which was given to you by his orders, is broken, and you become the servants of other gods and give them worship, then the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and you will quickly be cut off from the good land which he has given you.
